Daft Cow?
Shoddy conversion to PAL of great TV shows like Mad Men. The theme tune is WAY too high pitched. Someone just sped that sh*t up to get it on our screens... It's like a whole semitone! 
Daft Cow?
Also, iTunes 10 deciding that for no apparent reason to delete my entire collection of Catch 22. Not good enough for ya... hunk of junk...
Other than the above problems, a good day

Now I'm noticing this everywhere. Any movie on normal TV that has music in it is affected. It's so irritating! Watching Transformers (it was better in Spanish) - and The Used track is just wrong...

Ditto all that, but replace dole with part-time job that neglects to pay me my overtime...
Sucks, doesn't it?
There truly is nothing to do in the day that doesn't cost money.
I have friends. But none of them are here. I only have one left in Farnborough now, as the others are either back at uni or working elsewhere.
I need more friends here, and I don't know what to do.
I also don't understand how people can live off the dole. I hate my life at the moment, I need to do something with my time, or I will go mad.

Definitely phoning them up! I just hope I can actually get through to a person and that it's not like my recent call-centre dealings!
Thanks

Darren is most certainly not my god!
Ok, then by the looks of that link you have grounds to complain and get it cancelled. Sarah, obviously if you use it for Youtube and whatnot, you could go over, but tbh if you're only using your phone when you're out I'd wait til I got home to do that or try and find some wifi. I've really been caning the internet on iPhone so I was surprised to have used so little but it is possible

Tested streamed audio from home for a while but due to the crappy upload it just didn't work out.. Maybe later this month when we go fibre...

I've really been caning the internet on iPhone so I was surprised to have used so little but it is possibleI can easily hit a gig a month, with at most a single streamed video.. Otherwise its a case of occasional app updates (these are more often than not done on Wifi though.), insane amounts of email from several personal and work accounts and finally browsing while on the train.

Well, there's been a colossal f*ck up:
Phones 4 U offered me a contact where I pay £25 p/m for 300 minutes, unlimited text and get 1GB.
This is done by offering me a £30 tariff where I pay £25 and they pay £5 to Vodaphone. The other option I could have had was I pay £30 for 24 months and get £100 immediately back from Phones 4 U in cash. But I took the one that is better.
Vodaphone say (and, the guy at Phones 4 U was really helpful- on the phone for over an hour being transferred through different departments and back to the original ones) because I'm getting the discounted version, I only get 500mg. Even though Phones 4 U is making up the difference. There is no way Vodaphone will keep the contract I've signed.
Thus, according to Phones 4 U, the possible outcomes that they are looking into are:
Vodaphone will up my contract to 1GB only if the tariff is £30 p/m, which Phones 4 U would have to pay. (In reality, this would be giving Vodaphone £35 p/m, collectively. This is a bit out of pocket for all involved, and definitely not to Phones 4 U's advantage as my contract will cost them £240).
Phones 4 U will cancel the contract.
There was one other option, but I've forgotten it.
I'm supposed to be getting phoned tomorrow to find out what is going on. But to be honest, I am fed up to *here* with Vodaphone's can't be arsed attitude (It took them over a week to sort out my PAC code and I had to give the same set of data 3 different times!), and it's very awkward getting hold of a person to speak to in their customer services department. Also, no-one in their call centre knows what the f*ck is going on, as demonstrated by the Phones 4 U guy calling for over an hour.
Seriously, I have the worst luck with customer service departments and as a consumer.
Oh for f*ck's sake! Will NOTHING ever go right for me the first time?
I've been missold the product- there is only 500mg of internet allowance.
This is a f*cking never-ending pattern.
