I am happy because the cunt trying to rip me off on ebay has had a veto card held up to him
and the claim has been decided in my favour. Short story, I sold item, he receives item and confirms all fine, he then opens a claim to get his money back and refuses to return item. We aren't talking about a small amount of money either, cunt.

I am pissed off because parcel2go.com, the shower of cunts won't process my claim for a parcel they lost because I cannot provide photographs of the packaging. I am close to taking a picture of an empty table and emailing it to them.

What has made you happy and what his pissed you off this week? Extra points if its my mum.

my friend just emailed me in outrage. she and her bf moved in together earlier in the year, and she offered to buy a massive new tv and dvd player. he put them on his card as he knows more about electronics, and she then transferred the balance to him.

Wotcha cunts
Flat out today so just popping in.

Gig last night was OK. Good in a cinematic way, bad in a structured songs way. Nice projections. It went on too long and the audience were complete cunts: bunch of fucking student wankers. Loads of them were lying on the fucking floor with their eyes shut. This sort of behaviour is perfectly acceptable at a Hawkwind all-dayer if you are binned out your mind, but not in an East End concert hall high on nothing but mung beans and smug student coffee.

I stood on some beardy twat's hand by mistake.
