Having a bad day?

My thanks to a fellow member on Linked In for bringing this to my attention.

A horse stuck in a gate having a bad day, made worse by a cow laughing in the background....

Vodafone's Revenge

It is not clear to me why, but Vodafone have me in their sights. Not in a positive way; they are not really after my custom. They have started what I believe is a campaign to make me realise that I have no friends; it is their "billy-no-mates" campaign.

They sent me a text this week from their voice mail facility, it read,

"You have no new messages, please dial 121"

It took a few re-reads before I realised it genuinely said "No" new messages. So they wanted me to ring the voice mail number to find out that I had no messages and by default must be a billy-no-mates.

I duly rang, there were no messages, I have no friends.

Blind as a bat

At 7.30 this morning I managed to break my emergency glasses.

As regulars will know my reading glasses have had a hard time over the years. They have been run over, buried in snow and mangled by a petrol-driven lawn mower. Last week I broke the arm off my reserve glasses ( effectively my second pair) and today left me with no reserves since my emergency glasses were my reserve  reserve pair.

FOr anyone not blighted by failing eyesight spare a thought for those of us who are! How the hell do you find a pair of reading glasses when you can't read the labels on anything?

Nonetheless by trial and error and twenty minutes of dedication in W H Smiths I solved the problem. Otherwise I might still be wandering around City airport because I had convinced myself that I was flying home from there and without the new emergency-reserve-reserve glasses I would have missed the detail that said I should have been at Heathrow!!
