Job Bot Paypal Letter
Penned by my own hand, some time ago found it today when I was looking for inspiration to sort Sky out.. First things first if you are on your own then stop reading this letter right now. You should make a circle of ten people around it then hold hands to engage the full power of one whole brain cell. After the brain cell is engaged you can slowly start reading this letter making sure that you stop fully, to work out what every long word means!. Firstly I need to congratulate the staff at Paypal for being such a bunch of incompetent tossers. But I must apologise for that comment as it’s really down to the recruitment process. Normally Paypals recruitment information says “if you can read this then you are over qualified to work at paypal”. But seeing as standards of education have improved even in third world countries somewhat in recent times they now recruit by asking two questions at interview “too thick for a Mc Job? Fancy playing with your testicles all day ?” If the answer is a groan or the interviewee rubs their crotch, or urinates in the corner they are hired. If not, they are told to re apply for a Mc Job after taking a series of IQ boosting pills from a local Rave that were recently made from out of date Horse Tranquiliser. Needless to say if anyone at Paypal can sort this out I will personally send you half a Big Mac as well as some road kill for being so very very clever, so pay attention now!. In an attempt to ward off any potential futile contact Paypal does its best to hide all lines of communication including contact forms and the Holy Grail of contact the “phone number”!. If you are persistent and spend a whole day on the net surfing instead of working you can however like me be rewarded with these details. Despite Paypal now being added to my friends and family list I get very little satisfaction in being charged to input all kinds of Krypton Factor style data to win a position into the initial two hour queue that you operate. Without my quick thinking and sharp button pressing skills on the phone I get hung up on and have to start all over. Occasionally if you can pass the initial Krypton Factor questions and hold on without needing food, or a toilet break for a very very long time you get to speak to a poorly programmed Android. This Android commonly known as a “Job Bot” is programmed to see if you can remember the same Krypton factor questions that you had skilfully input all those hours before. When you explain that you have already entered that information and question why they need it again they start to go into a repetitive monotone loop for ages and ages until you give in. If you can’t remember in your weakened and suffering state it is their job to force you to do it all over again from the start after you have had a toilet break. Occasionally as payment for getting this far you get an e-mail survey to complete about that specific “Job Bot” that you have tried so hard to communicate with. If it is negative enough it helps the Job Bot to get promotions?. Another thing the Job Bots do is say “Please hold the line” and then after it gets dark and your wife tells you that the cat has eaten your cold dinner hours later a recorded android says “All lines are now closed”. Some of the “Job Bots” are based in India or Peru or somewhere and you can barely understand them. They use this to there cunning and crafty advantage, repeating the same loop of monotone text until you submit to personal humility and failure. I’m not sure if policy is to route your calls to Job Bots abroad or Just have foreign Job Bots here in an attempt to throw you either way it works. On two lucky occasions the Job Bots have falsely promised to help me in a cunning ploy to make me repeat this all over again! Eventually sick tired and exhausted of playing this game I start to get annoyed at the Job Bots in a futile attempt at resolution and that only leads to more frustration and the monotone loops of text repeating faster and faster!. About two or so weeks ago I bought an Iphone for my wifes Birthday on Ebay. She opened it and having human traits decided that it was not for her. I said “don’t worry my dear wife I will sell it on ebay and buy you the one you want instead”. She smiled sweetly and pointed out the new phone she wanted, as she calmly stroked a soft Kitten at home. It seemed to be so simple I listed it on ebay, someone did buy it now and sent the money to my new e-mail address. I thought I wonder what I do to get this sent to my Paypal account and I got an e-mail from Paypal “You can receive this in a few simple steps” just click here to accept the money. Oh my God weeks later and whole days and nights of pain still no new phone. My account was barred by a remote senior Job Bot, The person who I was paying for a phone with has had the same treatment and now I don’t know where my money is or what else I can do to get her phone?. Now listen to me, it was meant to be a Birthday Present, Not a frickin Christmas present. I have done everything a man can do. You have wasted loads of my time, Called me at home (another Automated Bot, that was better to talk to than the normal Job Bots), Faxed everything I own, played search the credit card statement, as well as find the happy delivery number etc. Please grant me the wish of once again making my wife happy. I want either my money or my phone this bloody year you arse holes! I can give you no more, only my DNA and a used piece of tissue paper that I have in my pocket for nasal emergencies. I want this thing to end you have everything from me, I have nothing else to give except the last few rays of hope!. Your incompetence so far makes me realise that people who stick pins in their eyes out of despair are the really lucky ones!!!.

New panet of the Apes film
Watched it today, its well worth a watch... not like that last bucket of puss they did a few years back. Its a prequel set today and has been done really really well. I dont think it connects in any way with the last one they did, but more in tune with the original 70s ones. There is a DVD quality rip on Kickass torrents for those of you that download stuff, with a perfect picture and audio.

AEM map upload
Hi Bud You need to use an old skool laptop and an oldskool cable that does not use a convertor, I have a laptop that works perfectly on it as I bought it to use just with the AEM thingy. When you sort that it will work. The convertors on later versions of windows etc do not seem to work I had the exact same problem. I sold my AEM but still have the lappy will sell it to you for like £100 if you want it only used it once?. I bought it brand new about 6 months back it was the only one i could find anywhere that ran win 95 still and had a serial port. AEM software already set up on it and it will connect and work first time. I spent weeks dicking around trying to get something to work with no luck using different cables, operating systems etc.

Knocking help!
These are hard to work on if you are going to do it DIY the first time, a lot of garages even struggle with them unless they are a specialist. I would speak to jimmer on here about a possible rebuild, best get it out put a new gasket set in and fully investigate and cure all the issues at the same time. The other thing while it is out is you can get all the deletes done as well as the water bypass and new tubs if you want them. Good luck with it all

Time to do something with my zed
Yay spent the day on it today, it had not been started for 4 months after I put the battery on it started straight on the key.... lovely sound. Sorted the clutch adjustment out and took her for a 40 Mile drive, what a great car with the Targas off. Fuel pump on wednesday and re map I am hoping to get done in the next few weeks. Put a real smile on my face today... forgot just how nice a car it was!.

Help with customer care issue
Jeff Firstly I would never air this stuff out in public, its a business matter relating to yourself and a customer. Unless the customer gave permission to have all his stuff posted publicly like this?. If it ever went legal (not that it would for an injector) the guy could rightly or wrongly claim for a number of things including a Data Protection breach, possibly slander etc etc. Seems he is expressing an opinion, maybe re send an other part or ask him to get the car in to be looked at. Tell him if it is another fault it will be chargable and that if it is found to be a faulty chip that you will replace it???. I know some people can boil piss remotely, but some customers can end up being real trouble makers. A bit of good will is priceless...

Time to do something with my zed
Yeah that is it and she is already road legal, just been a bit busy of late and lost motivation to do anything with her. I also need to change the targa rubbers if i can get some but she is a driver right now. I was planning on taking her to modified madness but it got cancelled! yeah after everything that I have done to the car its just small stuff. I doubt I will take her to JAE its a long way from here and probz cost about a grand in fuel.

Time to do something with my zed
Well all its been a while, unfortunately i have only driven my Zed once this year and that was for the Banzai mag shoot in about March. It has MOT Tax and is insured :mellow:. I really need to pull my finger out my backside and do a few bits to it to get it proper sorted out so it is a more sensible drive. 1. Fit a new stock fuel pump (that I have) just till its run in. 2. Bleed or adjust the clutch as it bites a bit bit low 3. Sort out the Emerald stuff its doing like 3-5MPG and has a bad blank spot. Then I can run it in, I love the car but just seemed to loose interest in it when I realised I could not do anything with it because of the MPG. At the moment I cant get it to any shows or meets as it is just not practicle. I think I would settle for like 10+ mpg and an easier drive without the blank spot then at least I can do SOMETHING with it. At the moment its like a fully restored load of bits that just glows in my garage. So today I am going to look at sorting out the fueling and maybe just spend a tenner taking it around the block. :lol: Jimmer thanks once again for sorting the Engine out she is sweet as a nut and the work you did would make anyone proud :blushing:.

Anyone know anyone who can write press releases
Just sent you a PM bud

any ideas how my mrs can make money from home?
Most important thing is what can she do, and what interests does she have? Ebay businesses are real easy to set up and run hence questions above. Generally its easier to make money from stuff that you are interested in.

Anyone know anyone who can write press releases
Could be an option has she done press releases bud?

Anyone know anyone who can write press releases

This country has hit rock bottom
I cant their is a legal process to follow, they have a tennancy even if they are not paying rent or living there. I can get into a whole heap of trouble if I go in there and change the locks. I have initiated all the eviction stuff last thing I can do it throw a spanner in the works by accessing the property unlawfully or changing the locks. Just one royal pain in the backside!

This country has hit rock bottom
It is basically she says she has moved home as she is worried about her ex becoming violent. As the dole will not cover storage they have advised her the fastest way to get a new place is get mugsy here to evict her. My two month jobbie runs out on May 6th then on the 7th my lawyer is initiating a rapid posession order. No woner why no fecker will rent to DSS!. I never did but he lost his job and he never bothered getting another one. Then with all the extra leisure time they sprouted kids to increase their state take to get into retirement in their mid 20s. I was happy ish as they looked after the place and were paying rent on time, even if I did not agree with his choice of career path. I really kept the place uptogether as well, re painted all the wear and tear stuff they did, put a new roof on. Turfed the garden for the kids, blah blah blah... So dole says screw me over and after all this they do, I really hate having property rented out. it is nothing but heart ache and a financial pain. I am now of the opinion that as a landlord you should treat everyone like shite, never repair anything and as soon as they loose their jobs give them notice. And yes it was fully managed through an agent, im not a free self storage facility for lazy bums. i would think twice before i gave my best mate two grand so why do people expect me to give it to them as it suits their needs. All the laws are stacked up against you as a landlord it sucks.
