Pret? Just 'Pret'? You sicken me.

Quote: Dolly Dagger @ March 31 2010, 1:04 PM BSTI once tried to persuade an electric company to take my money. They wouldn't have it that I had an electricity supply at my house or even that my house was where I said it was. Finally they even denied the very existance of my house.

My flatmate was a researcher on Watchdog at the time.

The Anne Robinson or Nicky Campbell era? In either scenario, did he/she take the opportunity to call them a c**t? 
I can't possibly say. All I know is that they didn't give a big enough toss about my billing plight to feature it on the show. 
I should have had Paul Heiny as a flatmate. Or Gavin Campbell. Or even Cyril Fletcher. He would have been a laugh.
I wish they would bring back That's Life. How are dogs who can say "sausages" meant to get their big break into TV thesedays without it?

That'd explain why you're only just complaining about it now then.
(We've not had any problems at all.)

Apparently not a fire but a flood.

Oh wait, the flood caused a fault which caused a fire.
Edited book is now winging its way back to me.
I'm glad, I thought they had forgoten me.

'We've just landed a rather juicy exclusive in the form of a leaked copy of BBC1's summer line-up...
Popular BBC Three youth sitcom Coming Of Age will be transferring to the corporation's flagship channel for an extended-length new ten-part third series. According to the memo we've seen, channel boss Jay Hunt has managed to line-up guest appearances from Stephen Fry, Michael McIntyre and Russell Howard - the idea being to boost the credibility of the corporation's top stars by aligning them with Tim Dawson's comedy.'
Right, finally it's the 1945 Berlin Bunker scenario everyone. One last drink, one last song - not to worry, Herr Himler's got enough cyanide pills for everyone! 
Bye-bye cruel world. 
EDIT: Oh f**k, I've just seen the date. 
EDIT 2: Hmmm... probably should have kept on reading down the page, but my eyesight went mental after reading the first part. Damn you, Mark & Aaron! 
(Well done.)
EDIT 3: Hmmm.... probably should have deleted this whole post and pretended I am less stupid and gullible than I obviously am. Trouble is, the Coming of Age story struck me as depressingly plausible.

It is.
