That's it really. Anyone want to agree?

I am now going to calm myself by taking dd to the docs about her rash.

Thank you and goodbye.

I'm back and have been given permission to stay here. I love MN and all who sail in her

gscrym, sounds very violent and a trifle uncomfortable but I will memorise it for my next run in with the gobshites.

BT I refuse to believe anything is unrepeatable here...

okay so you can upgrade from 8am at O2 shops tomorrow.

no farkin use to me whatsoever!

MarmadukeScarlet · 09/07/2008 11:18

I've just had an odd call from someone claiming to be from O2

"It's aiden from O2" (sounded like he was in a pub).

"yes"

"Your contract is about to run out"

"I did n't think I'd had it that long"

"That's bloody marvellous"

Leaving me a little confused, for a start the phone is in my DH's name and he didn't ask for anyone by name either...

TheMagnificent7 · 09/07/2008 11:34

MarmadukeS - That's a really popular scam, my partner fell for it a couple of months ago, and it's like the one on Watchdog. Company phones up, and says something like their calling about your O2 contract, it's up for renewal soon, would you like an upgrade to. What we'll do is put you on a great new tarriff with an upgraded phone, only thing is we've split two of our divisions so we have to give you a new phone number...then get you to 'confirm' your new bank details. Before you know it, you have a new contract, not with O2, but with an O2 provider, and you ALSO have your old one. Cancelling it is almost impossible.

Now they are arselickingcuntfacedshitstainedfuckbollockflapmongers or whatever.

TheMagnificent7 · 09/07/2008 11:35

PS - Love O2. Been with them for years and they halve my tarriff every year.

Viz tip - Save money on an iPhone by sellotaping your iPod to a big old Nokia and painting it all white.

Now look Magnificent, I heartily object to you coming in here and swearing better and more effectively than me! You should have started with a gentle feck off and worked up from there

Thinking of taking your hint re the Nokia as it looks like I'll have to sell my granny (if I had one) to get a white phone.

Scrotes.

I've just been looking for the right platform to use the word 'flapmonger' and I thank you for the opportunity.

Think going to the O2 shop and fluttering an eyelid or two would help ? You can upgrade in them, and the sales boy will almost certainly have never had sex before. Just the thought of it will probably get you good new tariff too

scrappydappydoo · 09/07/2008 12:20

I hate o2 almost as much as marmite. Was with them and lost my phone so rang them asking them to block it which they did - I then found it 1 day later - rang them and asked them to unblock it - ncertainly madam that will be done in 24 hours - TWO WEEKS later they managed and that was after countless phonecalls to them on home phone (cost me about £20). Customer service was appalling..
Sorry don't swear but do agree with description

Paddlechick666 · 09/07/2008 15:23

@ Magnificent. excellent swearing skills too.

tbh, i find these phone shop little boys mightily unsatisfying.

i do my absolute best intimidating rant and because they have no initiative or gumption they are stunned rabbit in headlights and it's impossible to get any sort of conciliatory offer/freebie outta them.

perhaps inspired employment strategy by phone companies.........

Paddlechick666 · 10/07/2008 07:01

OMG!!!! I had an email late last night confirming reciept of my order! Then another one saying it was being processed. Then another one say that if my order is accepted it will be processed in the next 5 days!

TheMagnificent7 · 10/07/2008 12:33

I had ShatNav on my last Nokia. It would send you down a dual carriageway, then tell you to take the 4th exit..and then send you down the otherside of the same road. A big flat thing it was, last year. It was also the most difficult phone to destroy in a fit of 'where the fuck am i?' rage, and always bounced. I have a TomTom now which i've downloaded the Southern Redneck voice to, so I get to 'turn right at the little circley doodad', 'turn left left left lefty left', and I always like it when it tells me 'well how 'bout that! You done reached your destination'. And apparently, if I use the Bluetooth thing, it will talk to my phone. Don't know how much they have in common though. I love the TomTom because I could get lost walking down my hallway. It's so accurate, it tells you how to walk to the nearest whatever when you get lost, and you can download lots of very useful landmarks like every Costa in the country.

I may give up on technology and go back to GoodOldMe 1.0 - I'll install a music centre in my car, buy records, and use old phone boxes with a 2p slot. I had to explain what a B-side was the other day to an 18 year old.

And I've had my car for 18 months...and just found that it has a CD changer in the boot. Bollocks.

bearmama · 10/07/2008 13:44

Hmm, o2 USED to bend over backwards to do whatever you wanted on upgrade, now they have a "new system" and started wittering on about "budgets" when i wanted to upgrade.

I went on a simplicity tariff, hung up and started going through the A-Z of fave swearwords
Arsehole, Bastards, Cunts, Dickheads, Eejits...

And so on

Paddlechick666 · 10/07/2008 13:47

PMSL Magnificent!

I have a ShatNavMan which is known to send you around in circles and gets very confused with itself when I revert to GoodOleMe 1.0.

I love the idea of having a redneck tell me where to go tho.

I will report back on how good the function on iPhone is when I get mine. There is a maps function now which is quite good.

Just checked order status and it says "in progress".

TheMagnificent7 · 10/07/2008 13:58

Damn Apple for being so cool. Even their packaging is so well designed I leave it lying around.

Do you ever go on Google Earth, zoom in on your house, and get your children to wave out the window to see if they can see themselves ? Gets mine everytime

Paddlechick666 · 10/07/2008 14:05

LOL, no my dd is a bit too young but i'll remember that for future trickery.

actually there is a pic on google earth of my canoe club training. there's a very good chance that i am in the boat but as you don't know when it was taken i can't be sure.

I want my iPhone now!

at least some of the new functionality will be available on the old iPhone's tomorrow....

spottyshoes · 10/07/2008 14:13

Grrrrrrrrrrrr. PoxyWhatyoujustsaidFuckers cut me off for no reason last week. AS I discovered when alone with DS in my car 25 miles from home in the Countryside! Told them I had broken down with the baby in the car and couldn't call the RAC (slight lie) was sooooo . The wankers didn't give a toss - so then really

Am leaving them huff huff stomp stomp

TheMagnificent7 · 10/07/2008 14:17

You can just see the O2 and Apple marketing people wetting themselves laughing. They get to dangle the iPhone carrot, then turn to all the "3" network users that utilise the O2 network but can't have the iPhone at all and giggle at them too.

And Apple have just got it so right. "What shall we do next? Hold on, I know, let's find something and paint it white. It'll sell by the bucketload". And they are so right. I think my Sony does everything that the new iPhone does, and has for a while, and it's always been 3G. But I'd never have queued for it. And it's not shiny and white. And I don't even use my iPod, hate it, but can't live without iTunes, and the iPod has an inscription so I can't give it away.

EyeballsintheSky · 10/07/2008 16:50

Y'know, I can't decide whether I prefer pisswitches or flapmongers....

Either way, I decide that I want a white phone and the bastards send me a text to say that my order for the black is actually going through. Clueless knobends.

OP posts:
Paddlechick666 · 10/07/2008 18:10

didnt even know you could choose a white one.
I haven't had a text. Does this mean my order is hanging, unfulfilled, in cyberspace?
god the stress! I'd rather deal with schools admissions and NHS postcode lotteries!

TheMagnificent7 · 10/07/2008 18:17

Pisswitches got the bigger laugh when I told a friend earlier. And now I have a vision of walking down my local High Street and passing the Flapmongers, just next to the Post Office.

Paddlechick666 · 11/07/2008 10:20

no phone for me

all out of stock online and i can only get to a shop this arvo when they will definately be out of stock by then.

tossers

TheMagnificent7 · 12/07/2008 14:51

Did everybody get their phones ?

Paddlechick666 · 12/07/2008 19:01

nope. Could have got an 8gb yesterday arvo but am holding out for 16gb.
Bastards are now taunting me with tv ads!

TheMagnificent7 · 12/07/2008 20:45

lol It's like Christmas for grown ups
