The Retirement Thread

The problems happen a lot of times because everything is automated now. Its all done via computer software. Nothing is done by people accept to press a button and if they don't then problem after problem happens and it just gets bigger and bigger.

I'm having a problem with BT. In October I called them to get a Broadband only deal. I got one and proceeded.
BT mucked up the deal, and my home phone is still connected. Tree time now I have called, and three times the call centre person has called me back, but today the old amount £70.32 has yet again gone out of my account and the new broadband deal still hasn't been set up.
The call centre person is going to call me back on thurs, again, to update me on the problem.
The initial problem being their system crashed as the operator was setting up the new account, but nobody told me, or him that the broadband deal had failed, so the system kept charging me for the old unwanted deal.

yes. As I said, everything is automated. Humans don't see anything that's done now, they just answer the complaints and they don't do that very well either

My Wattbike is running late but still supposed to come.

Just got half of my order for a small dining table and 2 chairs. Got the chairs and part of the table but the guy assured me there is another parcel and he will be back tomorrow. I’m struggling to cope with all this cardboard!

The cat might enjoy it, but not sure about me.

Morning afternoon evening, not been feeling very well to day, didn't sleep very well last night, got up had a wash and went back to bed.
Got up again and had something to eat and laid down in the lounge with a blanket over me, but I don't know whats wrong and I have no energy and feel Moby Dick.

My new toy. It won’t be sitting there. Just easier to unbox and set up, although I might be tempted to wheel it through here to use it so I can screen cast Zwift onto the big telly.

Just had a little 5 miles to try it and was getting hot and sweaty so definitely need the fan on.

Your new bike has legs!
Isn't that taking the "Iron Horse" thing a bit too far?
