SPAM random annoying things

According to the FH stats, Toto has posted over 40,000 messages. I thought I was prolific, but can only manage a paltry 20K. Pff.

Still got a ways to go to beat Deebs though

Mrs put my phone in the washing machine so I ordered a new phone - just tried the old one after reassembling the dried parts and damn me if it doesn't work

Now the hassle of returning the new one - or I could keep it for the next phone disaster - how long would the battery last if its just left in the box?

Nokia ?
The gf pulled that stunt also

Can I bring myself to tell my mother I never want to hear from her again? Or will I regret it?

 

[Olgaline]

Firstly depends, what did she do to to merit that ?

Of course you'll regret it. Dramatic declarations like that always sound like a great idea in your head and end up a disaster in reality. Do the male thing, just don't bother staying in touch.

 

[sayward]

Years of ridiculous behaviour. All sounds just too petty when itemised. Just decided I can't stand the stress any more. Trouble is I've spelled out the problems to her and it's like talking to a brick wall. She just doesn't take it in. Nothing is ever her fault. And before anyone asks I'm an only child, which does not help.
She thinks I'm taking my general stress out on her when it's her that's causing the stress.

 

[Edmond]

Don't tell her you never want to hear from her again, but as Gaff says, just dont stay in touch, ignore her

Took my god daughter out a few weeks ago and she saw one of her friends, she had these shoes on that made her walk like a velociraptor.

It was funny, and also do they not look in the mirror before leaving the house? maybe i'm getting too old but they do look stupid in some of the get up they wear

Christmas adverts, fuckoff!

Yay, Christmas! Made 2 out of the 4 Christmas cakes I need to make now.

Dunno. I feel like that with my litte brother (and less so but still nearly with my mum).

Stay away from 'em for a couple of months. You may feel differently. I know I did.

I know exactly how you feel. Mine nearly died earlier this year and if it wasn't for the fact that my sister and I had been on ringing-her-up-twice-a-day-out-of-concern watch then she would have.

She's made a full recovery, but been a cunt since. Sometimes....

Bullshit. Depends on what she has done. I will never speak to my Dad again and quite frankly am glad of it.

I didn't say maintain contact, just don't make a song and dance about not maintaining contact. What's the point in dramatic declarations? Indifference is the most useful of emotions I find. Besides, they might come in handy if you need a kidney one day.

Scumbag cunts who kick off peoples wing mirrors. I'm skint as fuck atm, be lucky if I can afford another wing mirror.

Bullshit company policies saying you can't return faulty products (Faulty on delivery) and they can only do a replace + exchange.

 

[Moriath]

I'm sure that's against the law in the UK

 

[Overdriven]

I'm sure that's against the law in the UK

Yeah, me too. Tell that to Argos..

 

[soze]

I thought the same. With Printers brands like HP you can get a DOA so you send the broken one back and get a new one. With Brother it is with Brother from day one so if it is shagged out of the box you get a refurb. But if you bought it online you can normally send it back under distance selling rules.

 

[Moriath]

Yeah, me too. Tell that to Argos..

Online ? Definitely on distance selling regs like soze said

 

[DaGaffer]

Tell them to fuck off. Sale of goods Act. You're entitled to a full refund. And if it was online you're entitled to a refund FOR ANY REASON under Distance Selling regs so long as it's reported up to 7 days from receipt.

 

[Embattle]

Providing it is in the mystical time frame known as reasonable then you are entitled to a full refund, this is normally under 30 days but each company decides its own figure for what it classes as reasonable and outside this it can be a repair/replacement.

Nah - the law decides - companies put all sorts of crap in their terms - none of it is enforceable. Reasonable time usually constitutes 28 days in England.

Companies rely on peoples ignorance of the law - always mention trading standards in such conversations.

 

[Overdriven]

Cheers guys.

Btw.. Fault was reported within an hour of getting the item. So they're fully aware.

I know they're against refunds etc, but it's stupid.. =/

 

[soze]

Within the first 14 days you can send it back because you want to. If it is faulty and within 14 days just tell them you want to send it back for a full refund.

 

[DaGaffer]

Just to be clear, Distance Selling is 7 days. There is talk of extending it, but right now the minimum legal time for returns is 7 days. (There are exempted categories of products but this isn't one of them).

I'm also slightly confused because Argos' own Ts&Cs say:

We've made it easier!

• If you bring it back to us within 30 days with your proof of purchase, we'll give you a
  replacement or a refund.
• If you've had the product for up to 1 year, we'll repair the product or, if that's not possible, give you a replacement or, if that's not possible, a refund.
• Please note that all large kitchen appliances are excluded from our normal 30 day guarantee, but if your item develops a fault within 30 days, call us on 0845 640 0800 and one of our advisors will assist you with your problem. If faulty and if it cannot be repaired we will arrange a replacement free of charge or you can opt for a refund.
• This does not affect your statutory rights.
