Argos

 

 

Success!
Following the post of yesterday, there was an exchange of comments with “Argos Helpers”, which, initially, caused some concern.
Hi John, I am very sorry for the problems that you have experienced with your order. I have just spoken with the courier and your cooker is out for delivery today and the driver will contact you before he delivers. Charlotte
  • John Yates. We are just leaving for a hospital appointment. He can deliver and install tomorrow or late this afternoon. (after 3:00pm). Please confirm
  • Argos. Your delivery is the fourth drop of the day so hopefully this may be after 3pm but
  • Argos. I can not guarantee this. If you are not available for delivery today then the courier will call you to re book the delivery. Charlotte



Just as I was muttering “Oh dear. Another day passes without our delivery. Oh dear”, or words to that effect, our telephone rang.
A voice on the other end of the line, announced that he would be delivering and installing our cooker in half an hour!
True to his promise, the man from the Argos contractor arrived within the specified time, installed the new cooker, checked that it worked properly, and disappeared up the road out of the village taking our old cooker with him.
We were only marginally late for the appointment.
This whole story has been a catalogue of phone calls, Blog postings, Facebook and Twitter messages and a very large helping of frustration, certainly on my part, but I would like to thank “Argos Helpers” in the form of Tina, Drew, Clem, Charlotte, Neal (and any others which I may have missed) for their assistance (and perhaps even their frustration) in resolving this saga.
Readers may be pleased to learn that the cooker seems to be fine (I am touching a large piece of wood) and last nights dinner went down well.
Readers may also be pleased to learn that this will be the last Blog post on this subject.
(Hopefully)

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
