Long may they have builders

Titz Towers, North Notts

A pre Thursday rant - consider me the first act coming on to warm you up for the main event of tomorrow's rants.

I was awakened at 08.01 by my bank alerting me to an attempt to defraud my bank card for 97p. Yes, they insult me by trying it on to the value of 97p, not even something with kudos, like £1,000,0000 only 97p. The gits. My card has been cancelled, which is a pain as I was going to Boots on Friday morning to be colour matched and now the timings won't work if I have to nip to the bank and withdraw money with my bank book (so 1990's, darling).

So here is my rant:

To the fool/s who tried to use my bank card to pay for something in America at 07.15 this morning long may you have builders at your house. May they turn up, quote a very low price for the slipped hip tile you had never noticed and you be stupid enough to accept. May they then condemn your roof, knock your aerial off and drop a claw hammer through the roof of your conservatory. Long may you be told stories of waiting for materials, early closing at builder's merchants, their mother dying 3 times so they can't do Fridays, watch them vanish around 15.30 each afternoon, come in from work to find your chocolate digestives gone, your Jaffa cakes disappeared, skid marks all over your toilet and inexplicably your bath. May you find your collection of dvds 1 or 2 short, your saved game of Monkey Island 2 overwritten, one skirting board repainted, stuff stored in your garage, muddy paw prints on the sofa and your wife and teenage daughters looking happy. And also if this isn't enough to send you over the edge, may you step on the odd upturned plug.

Nice rant !!

By the way, they try the 97p one first and if it goes through they go for the big one. It's often an itunes purchase.

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

I wondered what had happened to bring down the old Arab curse.

The good news was that the bank spotted it quickly and your new card may arrive in time.

And people wonder why I don't do online banking, or have a credit card, or why I spend ages checking a companys bona fides before buying anything online!

I have a pre-paid credit card to use on line, when I want to spend money on ebay I put money on the card and buy what I want...

Works like a charm!

It was just my bank card, I've not bothered with a credit card. It could be worse. It's just an inconvenience as I had plans for Friday

For a new card you don't always need a new pin. You can use your pin and change it at barclays in their cash machine.

But an upturned plug bloody hurts
