I had to set up a new Gas contract for a client today.

The renewal B Gas sent was nearly 50% higher than the last one so a few minutes on comparethemarket brings up a number of companies offering similar prices to the current contract....including B Gas. (facepalm)

So a quick phonecall to them pointing this out and lo and behold they are prepared to now offer the company that same deal.

The way these energy firms operate is little short of profiteering. Its scandalous.

Just had a call to tell me the helmet I bought at the show, is now not in stock, wont be in stock as it is discontinued.... Why display and sell me one then!!!
Wasted my time.....I could have possibly bought something else while I was there. And the person who called me, did not seem to be for Helmet City, as some other name was mentioned!!

FFS. My son and his mates have been robbed in Dale End in Birmingham city centre.

It's a shame Blues aren't at home otherwise there would be a hunting party for the cowardly c*nts.

Thankfully no one was hurt.

Of course, no police about and no real urgency for them to respond

He was with his mate. They were waiting outside a shop for two other mates. 3 lads bumped him from behind and started grabbing him and spinning him about. There were 4 blokes standing nearby looking out. One of the lads told him to hand over what he's got otherwise he'll be stabbed. He kept asking him "what you got for me".

Alex gave him £10 and said that's all he had. Two of the lads went to frisk him for his phone and Alex jumped out of the way.

The worst part about it is that people could see what was going on but walked by.

There was also apparently a mass brawl at 5.30 PM at Star City tonight. Gangs with machetes.

The country is falling to pieces.

Kwacky terrible to hear and really glad your son is physically ok. Always scary when something like this happens. It will of mentally of had an affect just hope it doesn't stop him going out and still enjoying himself. These people are cowdly, horrible waste of spaces they shouldn't be allowed in our society

As if we don't have enough to contend with, our son his having problems because his g/f is having anxiety issues and we have found out much of it is down to the fact her previous boyfriend used to bully and beat her.

WTF is wrong with this cowards who think its acceptable to bully and beat women??? It should be an automatic imprisonable offence.

I wonder how they would enjoy getting the same medicine back inside?

Not good to read Duke and hope its resolved soon and your son shows her not every man is a bully and a coward.

This is why I believe in punishment and not education. Crime needs to be shown to be wrong and criminals need to be punished.
