That's the fella.

I went to a TK Maxx once. I gawped and have never been in one since.
TTPYO: the university. When they screw up, it's "unfortunate" such as failing to tell me that I had successfully mitigated a piece of coursework and that it was due in - today. After a semi apology, I am now told that the next hand in date, although I could do it earlier if I wished as it will be the same piece, is April 2013. I then asked whether I could have all of my work to redo because the GP has told me that my illness was misdiagnosed. I was told that it was too late to get any further extensions. WTF? They have just stuffed up sufficiently so that I can't complete my degree until April next year at the earliest. FFS this is the third time that they have got something wrong with my records and hand in dates which has then affected the next piece of work and I apparently just have to put up with it. I have a medical reason for why my work was crappy but a GP's opion is not sufficient to get my case reopened because I got pass grades. I feel a letter to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator coming on.
(Apologies for the language but Riley is a tad peeved.)
You should definitly make an official complaint about that. They've completely screwed you over, and if you were relying on finishing your degree this year (for a job or further qualification or something) they could really have jeopardised your plans. I've had my share of incompetent university staff screwing things up, I feel your pain.

Ah, that would explain your neighbour's love of parking space thievery.

Yes, with accompaniment by a .40 S&W.

Cheers Harridan. I went straight to the union and left a message for the advisers. I think I have more than enough to get them through the complaints procedure but the problem is it starts informally and I think have to spend the first session "trying" to resolve the issues with the person I saw today.
Fortunately the job doesn't depend on this bit of paper but that's not the point.

Sssssh! They haven't tried again. Deeds with solicitor for comment at present.

"Xscape."

They sound like simpletons, just tell 'em it's haunted or cursed by gypos. They should stay well away then.

Oh I see he has been banned.
He was so naive & berkish that he didn't understand that
(_a_) you do not insult a moderator
(_b_) you especially do not argue with the forum owner & tell the owner that he is wrong.
What happened? Man, I miss all the fun...

If Roodeye banned everyone who got in an argument with him the board must have had tumbleweed blowing across it.

It did in the end

It's worth reading. Especially the final post where he effectively says to Aaron "you and whose army?"
Quote: Lee @ July 16 2012, 1:04 PM BSTWhen I was recently in a train station, a familiar voice came over the Tannoy (Public Address system). "Hello, folks. Boris Johnson here. I'm going to tell you something that is gonna piss you off, but because I'm such a loveable goon, hopefully the jolliness of my voice will distract you from the real news and you won't be too angry, pip pip!".
I first heard him at London Bridge station after the drinks meet up, I thought I'd had far more than I had and was hearing Boris in my head.
I panicked for a bit.
TTPYO (part IV, I think):
The school secretary having a go via email, saying that I'd forgotten to send in the permission slip allowing my child out of school to see the torch tomorrow (child insisted she MUST go). So I called her up and asked her to check the name of the person she was supposed to be emailing (it wasn't meant for me), I wish I could've been there to see her face go red.
I wish people checked things before wrongly accusing and blaming.
At a gig last week there was a woman in the audience taking photos of the show because it was her friend's first gig. A week later we spot the images online ina Flickr account. Contacted the lady and asked if I could nab a couple of the raw images from the gig and she's tried to bloody flog them to me. Turns out she's a professional photographer, and now owns the commercial rights to pictures (hideous ones at that), of me. Legally there is nothing I can do, but morally? I am pretty pissed off about it as if I had known there were going to be images taken for commercial purposes at an unpaid and not-for-profit event I would have asked her not to take any.
Women eh?
If you were blokes you could have asked her to wrestle naked.
Always works for me.

You can get them of Flickr easily enough - just Google it.
