In related news I’m enjoying the fat cats at Thames Water getting a good kicking.

Bring back the ducking stool for all water company executives.

Was in the mothers house and grabbed a packet of crisps from the cupboard. Packet of pickled onion monster munch. Opened the packet and out popped a walkers style crisp, confused i looked at a packaging.

Turns out walkers have a limited edition monster munch pickled onion flavour, even though its basically the walkers pickled onion in a monster munch flavoured packet. Absolute disgrace, ruined my day that.

Gutted that's 1936, reckon she'd be an absolute scream today, especially with a few lagers in her. I wonder if she considered the pic flattering...

Some of the actual detail may not apply now - but the general gist is still valid today

All this modern football chat about xG’s and player ‘ceilings’. I blame the monetisation of football.

Not going to lie, I have no idea what the issue was here.. was it an ordinary crisp instead of a monster munch but in a monster munch packet?

Cardiologists! do they have even a Scooby about the human heart?

went for a routine check up, no symptoms at all, EKG fine. Followed up with a routine Calcium Score test (huge amounts of rediation)," hmmm troubling" they said. Next a stress test (treadmill), "concerning" they said. Next a nuclear stress test (treadmill with nuclear infusion) "Worrying" they said. Ok lets go in through your wrist artery and take a look - "oh this looks bad you need Stents". 3 in all.

Went for a second opinion from a different cardiologist, he says - "oh yeah if you had no symptoms I wouldn't have done any of that, the tests are meaningless and the stents are proven not to help....."

Hi some advice please. Moved places early on in year. Cancelled sky as out of contract. They eventually sent a label to send equiptment back. Sent back. Just had email saying taking legal action if dont pay £135 for not returning equiptment. I cant find receipt from post office to prove this. Thoughts appreciated.

Sky are bad kopites

Might be best trying to get bank statements to prove, if you can't find any receipts.

Hi thanks for reply. Genuinely sent it back but somehow mislaid post office receipt. Just feel completely shafted. Next step dont pay within 10 days legal action and credit agencies get involved. Just sent email to complain for what its worth. never missed a payment in 17 years with them even through covid.

You’d be just as well calling them up and requesting a hold on collection proceedings whilst you try and sort it out.
When they say legal action they just mean the debt would be transferred to their collections team or a debt collection agency. At this stage worse thing that would happen would be a mark on your credit report.
They are using language to scare you into freaking out and paying the whole thing at once.
