Inconsiderate Restraunts.....

Ello Folkies, my gripe for today is ....

Well as some of ye know, am a plain speaking soul...
Also, I have a few issues with mental health and other stuff...
So... you can imagine my dismay, when I get a call last week to say that a drop in centre, that I attend, has had to be shut down down to flood damage!

NASTY!!!!!

But... here is the kicker, it wasn't cause of the excessive rainfall, it was due to the main drains being blocked on the outside of the building.

You see, beside this place I go, there is a wee restaurant, and these inconsiderate folks have been a severe pain since after they moved there, what with car parking spaces and other issues.... but this last one is really taking the mickey!!!

Am unsure how the drains all work in the area, but it seems they have been putting stuff down their sink that they shouldn't have, so the end result, the bottom floor of the building we are in gets flooded out badly and cause of the cross contamination ( thanks to the idiots at Health and Safety for this one) WE had to close down till it was sorted....

Meaning the staff had to come in over the weekend and do clean up work, all cause this inconsiderate restaurant cant dispose of their own refuse properly...

So after a few days of clean ups and other stuff, we can now get back into our wee drop in place, almost a week it was closed for... in fact ... it was a week it was closed for.

Imagine that your only source of companionship, speaking to people, getting the gossip, stuff like that was suddenly pulled away for a week!! Tis annoying as hell.

So end result, well the centre needs over £10k in repairs est, not to mention the cost of the staff time, cleaning materials to get the centre re-opened and the repair work on our building!!!

Now, I have been asked nicely to NOT name and shame in this blog, which although I dis-agree with, I will stand by the advice and not name and shame these folks, but if you know me at all, you can easily guess....

Just makes you wonder about these folks that set up restaurant, shops and the other stuff.

Are they really as safe as they make out to be....

Doggies In Town....

No pic this time, and just a quick post as I cant be bothered.

Now, MOST folks, with half a braincell, will, when taking a doggie out for a walk, will take some paper towels and a plastic bag IN CASE the doggie needs a call of nature!

But NOT the immature young lass that I saw in town, on Union Street, aside the grave yard, who smiled and acted embarrassed about it.

To say nothing of the 3 young quines at the bus stop, who were laughing and hoping that "Some Poor Soul" would step on it.

Well, They got their wish, some old dear, slipped on it and went down hard on her side.

Shame I didnt think to take a pic of the lass as she watched her doggie go for a poop!!

Then take another pic of the old lass falling on her side!!

Wonder if the police would have done anything ??

Let me know what ye think folks...

Pizza Hut, website and Phone odering...

Fit Like...
I was sitting with a pal, watching the telly, when she decided to "Get in a Pizza".

Simple idea, Yes??? You would think, online order, 5 mins and its done.

MUHAHAAAAAAAAA.... Yer RIGHT!!!!!

OK Pizza Hut online order service, SLOW AS HELL!!! between 2-3 mins from pressing the add to order button till the next page comes up....
And again to add in the voucher that I had from them for a free pizza, BUT, it wouldnt accept cos the server they use is so slow it reset its self.

Now at this point, (20 mins in) we phone the order in, but guess what, they not accepting phone orders ???? COME THE HELL ON PIZZA HUT!!!!

So back to the website and try again, take a long time but we eventually get there, but now the voucher is invalid ??????

Back on the phone, STILL not taking orders.... (buy now we are at 45 mins and counting...)

Pathetic, isn't it!!!!

OK, so by now am annoyed to say the least, so we try Dominoes Pizza, all good apart from they don't accept solo cards... (ok now at 50 mins, didnt take that long as their website was working well)

So now what, I said try Snappy Pizza, so we type that in, get there but my pal doesnt like green peppers, so call them up to find out if she can change that for sweetcorn or something... No Probs... we get the order done and just as we are getting ready to pay by card, THEY HUNG UP!!!!!

Makes you wonder why we use these places at all.

So to all out there, if your paying by card, tell them at the beginning!!!!

Moral of this.... Dont trust in one service, Pizza Hut is your Pizza place, but Snappy Tomato in Aberdeen offer a hell of a lot more as well, and their website works!

Peace

The thing that started me off

Some lass on a mobile while driving her car...

NO Hands free kit, just take the mobile and put it to your lug, cover it with your hand, so the police don't look twice......

Shameful as hell this, you can probably read this and be doing it yourself within a few hours, Just Watch!!!
I did try to get her license plate on cam as well, but the cam doesn't do low light conditions that well... no matter... Just hope that someone recognizes her, see if she can keep her head up high after this...
