I think Christmas and my impending 40th may need to be cancelled.

Or because it is just far too expensive a time of year?

the missus got scammed to the tune of £75. This on top of forking out £170 to get the heating fixed does not make me a happy bunny. I'm even thinking about selling my Doctor Who videos...

cancelled it then they took £75 anyway. Bank says because she gave our details, although they will send a cancellation order it could take 30 days to kick in, during which time they thieving bastards can remove £75 from our account any time they fucking well please because of the small print. We have cancelled the card but this is no guarantee they still won't be able to take money.
I am fucking livid.

Amazon caught me out with their delivery service 'offer' a while ago, that was cash I didn't need to spend.

I got the money back, only because I checked the statement before I'd ordered anything else.
But it was far from clear. That annoys me.

I don't think she's ordered anything from Amazon since the money came off, so if we can get the £45 back it would be a small but useful help.

I was of course implying that your days of being a flighty and young devil-may-care chick are well behind you.

A borders backwater. Any female is automatically "hen". "Pet" is slightly more endearing.

So where is the smart money going for NUFC new boss? Jol?

Granted, I think that Houghton was treated badly, and I have no sympathy with the board if they get the next appointment wrong, but my lot (including me) were over the moon with the appointment of Steve Cop-out, that hardly worked out well. He spent a couple of mil of the Chairmans money and then decided the job wasn't for him and fucked off.
I can't help but wonder if they'll reflect on this sacking with regret.

Mike Ashley may be a successful businessman, but when it comes to running a football club he's a clueless cunt. Most supporters were starting to think that perhaps his long term plan wasn't totally cockheaded at all; spend low, invest young, get the debt down... it seemed to be working. All we wanted was stability and to stay up and that would have happened if Hughton had been kept on. Instead we're back to square one, a new manager is going to want to ring changes and there are rumours that Ashley will sell of Carroll in January for mega bucks and that's why Hughton was sacked, because he would oppose any deal to sell him.
I may go back to supporting Berwick Rangers; at least the disappointment is never tinged with optimism.

would be Chris Hughton...
He ticks all the boxes, anyway.

Player support, not banging on the board's door for money, decent track record in signings, getting results (a 55% win ratio altogether), fan support, media and other manager's respect... yeah, you can see why he was fired, can't you?
Grrrr. I'm going to bed.
