INCOMPETENT BUSTARDS

As a favour to a friend I ordered him a book and to get the delivery free of charge they put the minimum order up to £10 at one point and then put it up further to £20.

A couple of years back, and posted about on my computing blog, they started making a great deal of errors, especially with deliveries. They threw one package into a garden and as it was geo-tagged, or so they claimed, it flagged up as being delivered. A neighbours two dogs was playing with this SSD drive in the rain! I kid you not.

Many did not believe me and one mate stayed in for a delivery that never came but when his girlfriend arrived home from her teaching job she found the parcel from Amazon in their front garden, just flung into some bushes.

My friend was shocked and swore there was no knock at the door and unlike my house his one is dead easy to find.

Well I ordered these three items, all of which I picked because they first had them in stock and secondly ... were fulfilled by Amazon.

When you see this message in future run like hell and go to a third party.

I told them about these incidents and others and they did not care and despite me rollicking them several times they did absolutely nothing.

Well Easter Sunday they claimed to have tried but failed to deliver my three items ordered exactly one week beforehand.

So not wanting to stay indoors for yet another day and they are unable to find something ... as BIG AS A FUCKING HOUSE, I went out.

I was only out a few hours between midday and 2pm, of course they go and try to deliver during the period they never EVER deliver. It is either 8am to 9am or its 5pm to 7pm.

No, after taking a week to get my bloody order to me, one I could have gone about and picked up myself locally, they come to my house during the two hours I am out of the house over 48 hours!

I really, really cannot be messed about like this.

When I ordered my shopping on-line it never went like this. They did not fail to turn up and bring it back the next day, so how come this happens to my Amazon orders like 75% of the time and higher?

A stupid wire I ordered with it, angled, USB lead, arrived on Tuesday morning. A stupid wire! Lol,

Anyway I have declared war on Amazon and stated I will now go through the waste of time Ombudsman, asked them which one, I presume that Retail Ombudsman idiot who was trying to make excuses for retailers selling tumble driers and washing machine that like to spontaneously combust?

Lol.

My rather strong email ... which I always get stern about when they have taken no notice of my complaints over a period of a year or two.


EMAIL TO AMAZON ...

Dear Morons

Well you have struck yet again and shown that you are not only badly run and with a terrible service, along with not giving a shit how badly your delivery drivers are but you LIE as well.

I have seen the track package page ...

PLEASE GET RID OF THAT PILE OF SHIT IT IS A WASTE OF TIME!

Track Package indeed! It doesnt track anything. It gives absolutely no insight and no clue as to where your items are, please get RID OF IT!

Well your not the company you once were and I will be campaigning for people to ditch your extremely badly run and amoral company to others that give a damn about there cutomers.

I stayed IN ALL DAY LONG and no attempt was made to knock at my door with my package, as you claim.

Best of all is that the three items that I ORDERED on Sunday 20th March, 8 DAYS AGO, have not only taken, inexplicably, a week to leave your warehouse, no reasons provided despite asking, and now they are GOD KNOWS WHERE!

I live in a house .. YOU CANNOT MISS IT ... IT IS AS BIG AS A HOUSE!!!

Do you realise that much more than 50% of your deliveries, more like 70% or more, have failed to arrive when stated?!

ABSOLUTELY ... UNBELIEVABLE!

What makes it worse is I have warned you about this for several years, but you do not give a crap.

What is the name and address of the Ombudsman that are supposed to deal with you?

Is it the retail ombudsman?

Please provide contact as I am now going to make my complaint against you official and go through official procedures to complain about you.

I will also now publish a few posts on my blog about you, you have a few already about your disregard for your customers and will now absolutely RUBBISH or take the piss out of any new media coverage you get.

For example, I hope you aerial drones double the reliability of your current methods of delivery, as maybe then we might get 75% of our goods as and when you state we will?!

AMAZON'S REVIEW CENSORSHIP

I simply cannot believe it.

I get absolutely inundated with emails from Amazon asking me to write reviews about both sellers and products. <em>Inundated!!</em>

Yet lately and against my better <em>and </em>previous judgement I spent a fair bit of money through Amazon for things I need. Out of many of these things one was a little device to hold walking sticks up against a table's edge. Except they do not! A friend of mine who himself had been both a manufacturer of products and performed this job for others spotted one that I had not even removed from the packet, I bought two. He asked what it was.

I removed the item and showed his it was supposed to clip around a walking stick but was awkward and to tight...despite the fact that this was not only the easiest part of the job to achieve it was the only one that it <em>did </em>achieve!

I then pointed out that at the hinge section there were two large rubber platforms that I spent thirty minutes trying to remove when I should have been leaving the house to figure out go it clips onto the table. It didn't and I raised that the edge was supposed to rest atop the table or underneath it. It didn't... or at least bit for very long. If you use the surface at all the waking stick falls down. I had two to test and if they worked OK would have bought two more. I own three walking sticks and will probably acquire a couple more over the next 6 months.

My friend asked if I was joking and then roared with laughter.

Then I explained that I had, had these on my wish-list due a couple of years and not gotten around to ordering them but with the lump payout I ordered many little things. Another one are these dragon clips for holding headphone wires on clothing. A pack of five but on taking out I only slightly applied pressure to the hook to get the thin wire underneath and...'SNAP!' Took out the second one and thought I had better be more careful and ... 'SNAP!' Based on being gentle and then snapping so easily it was obvious that even if I managed to get two on the wire they would not last long what with people needing to move about!! I mean if we stayed perfectly effing still then what would be the point in needing clips?! So the fact that these products had been there a long time and were absolute shite, took over three weeks to turn to that meant the seller did not care about seeking their customers white, even the disabled ones. Ergo bad seller as well as bad product!

Well imagine my friends face when I told him that the only bad reviews I had given out of several dozen had been removed by Amazon?! His eyes went wide and asked once again "are you joking?" Nope! "Unfortunately they are turning into eBay and I don't know anyone that so uses eBay today!" I later found out that one brother bought a HTC phone via his friend's eBay account which he now complains about and I roared with laughter!

Now these companies are bloody blind. Added to that and as is <em>always </em>the case they start of very good, get bought up and end up with share members who don't have afucking clue who then claim to be business experts, tip...changing things to make massive short term profits while destroying an established company did bit make you business experts, then start losing customers and therefore money. Err duhhh!!

Absolute morons! As are many of the brain dead customers and sellers they make cash out of. So you would think that when they are losing money and customers they would listen to the customers who are both intelligent and important and not piss them off and drive them elsewhere after having an account for 18 years?!

Well apparently not!

Attached is a screenshot of an email of my second... or perhaps third review being removed because I was honest! Funny how they have nothing in place to remove good reviews for what are write obviously bad products?!

Lmao!

THE THICKETS OF AMAZON

Hmm I am getting some bloody cheeky bastard goings on at Amazon.

After driving me nuts as they usually do to provide feedback I have had one seller contact me demanding I give her better than 3 out ot 5, which I gave because it was a bugger all item and I failed to see it was coming from America which I do not expect to have to do for a fuck all item!!

So I told her where she can stick it as politely as I can! I do not bloody care and I do not bloody care for people basically telling me that I should have spotted some tiny small print somewhere, bloody yanks and the audacity their business types have?!

"Your unfairly hurting my business" is what she stated in the reply to it too!

That was not even the best one! Now follow me here...

I uses walking sticks. In fact on the second day of my small windfall I bought a walking stick and I will end up with more over the next month. I have several and they drive me nuts trying to stand them up where they will not get knocked down. Some time ago I saw these gadgets that I assumed you afixed to a table edge and your sticks click into them? They looked extremely clever little things.

Only when they turned up I spent an hour looking at the instructions and trying to use them before I realised they were utter shite! I do mean utter shite too! They do not go around your walking stick very easily and in fact are very tough and need twisting to get on. If you have particularly nice walking sticks, as I do, or walking canes I would wager that these would scratch the surface material off in no time at all, a few weeks would not surprise me at all.

It gets better as they do NOT afix to a table at all and I took them apart several times before realsing that on either side are these large round rubbery bits and they rest atop the table or I guess underneath? Which means they need to be in the right position for either of these which invariably means a lot of sliding and more scraping of your sticks.

Lastly one hiking stick would not fit into this thing at all.

Now if your a seller in a retail store you choose what you sell and if there are two stores that sell the things your into and one is tat and crap while the other is quality and beauty this reflects on the seller. Or in other words a seller knows, or bloody should do, what they are selling. because they shoudl first test the product as I would do and have done or pay attention to feedback and if you get a lot of negativity you, or I would, stop stocking them.

However we have this American attitude to business to just sell crap and to hell with the consequences, think the scene from American Dad with Brian Griffin replacing Rush Limbar's belongings with American made products and as Brian describes each item it blows up or fails in a comical fashion?

You see this all the time when companies that are good for and well known at one thing suddenly think they can make everything and get a windfall from it, despite having no experience from it. My sister once bought a Gucci G Watch and I took tohe piss. "Nooo! Gucci make shoes! You want a watch buy a Cartier, Omega, Rolex!" or something to that effect. I own a pair of Oakley glasses now but they make rucksacks and outdoor stuff too now. But mine is Berghaus, Vango and companies like that. When they realise the stuff is shite and no one wants it because of the crap colours, bad design or some other reason all this stuff gets shipped off to the UK, lmao, no I meant it appears in TK Maxx (err yeah in the UK stupid! Lol!)

Anyway I thought it was a bit of a cheek to ask me to change my feedback and Amazon have now done themselves out of a Celestron Nexstar, Evolution maybe, 6 or 8 inch Schmidt-Cassegrain Goto Telescope sale around the £1,000 mark! Now I will go to a British company like those found in The Sky At Night Magazine.

So yeah your right if you guessed I have a blog on Astronomy that has been seriously neglected because I simply do not have the hardware. Well up until now I did not have the hardware but I will be changing that over the next month or two and then I am done. All my blogging will have the tools they have needed for the last 3 years! Woohoo!

In fact I am really cheesed off with Amazon in general really and wished to god there was a British company like them who did an app that worked for your mobile and tablets?!

My tablet Amazon App crashes on, I mean this very literally, EVERY OTHER SEARCH!

Anyway I thought you would like to read the email I sent to Amazon, who incidentally agreed with me about how crap their App is when I contacted them a week or so ago. I am really about done with Android and their Apps. I cannot remember the last time an operating system and programs were that painful?! Even on 56K dial up it worked faster than this.

I believe, you see, these updates figure out how long you have had your hardware and deliberately start to slow yous system down. Forcing you to but new gear. Oh believ me I am just waiting for someone somewhere to find the proof behind that one and then appear in the news. Say around 5 to 7 years between the discovery and the TV News reporting?! LMAO!

First up here is a link to the product on Amazon and you can see that it looks in the picture as if it is afixed to the table? Link ...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001TKBW34/ref=fb_oip_prodpg

It appears to have a great deal going on but I think the product is deliberately deceiving you, or designed to in other words. It quite literally rests on the table and as for placing a stick into it...well do not buy it for anyone old or with arthritis.

EDIT: Oh would you look at that?! The seller is only a retailer that specialises in walking aids?! Like fuck are they! That makes it even worse! Lol. If they had not asked my seller feedback be removed I would never have noticed.

I have replaced my feednback and now I have noticed.

They are called Walking Aids, how original. Hmm I wonder where all their stuff is sourced from? So many really iffy sellers around these days due to the online craze and it is hard to know who to trust!

Oooh, lol, no it seems they are called 'Easier To'. Sorry my mistake, lol ...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=&isCBA=&marketplaceID=A1F83G8C2ARO7P&orderID=&seller=A32OKXQ5JMB0OF

END EDIT

Anyway here is the email ...


Dear Sirs

I am sorry?!

Exactly WHY did you remove the feedback I gave?! This was FEEDBACK and I see nowhere does it state that this is based upon the time of arrival nor personality of the seller, though I am suspecting its now going to be RUBBISH!

I also believe packaging feedback is a separate issue!

The product was RUBBISH and totally pointless....I am sorry I do not understand how that CANNOT, according to YOU, reflect on the seller?! So if they were selling stolen or counterfeit goods they are protected from being arrested and charged for that?!

Make your damn rules play by the law and not whatever you feel like making up at the time!

How DARE you remove this without asking!!

THE WRITERS & THEIR REVENUES

OK!

This one has taken a back seat for a long time now and so have a few others due to being busy, ill for three months, hospital tests, Christmas and more hospital tests.

Now one of my biggest issue that in my view makes blog writers conveniently naive victims of big business is the absolute, read deliberate, mess that they have in place for advertising. I previously attacked Google over this and before long they pulled their affiliate network.

They grave gave me the impression that I could and make money early on. Well...it is advertising and everyone knows there is big money in advertising and marketing. Too much in my opinion most of the time.

I thought this was a slam dunk?!

They wouuld not be able to get away with anything online, surely?

Oops, now the Fleksy keyboard is not working and did not correct a spelling mistake, with the word 'wouuld' I did not even make?! It has been lately like my tablets has a mind of its own and being deliberately annoying?! I change the keyboard and everything works for thirty minutes to an hour or two and then as if something has real used off it goes?!

I will have to run Avhast again see if anything pops up after I update it.

Well back to topic. What I did was that I got very fed up for a whole number of reasons mainly staring at numbers for first every one hundred I reached, then every thousand I reached and then every ten thousand I reached.

This had quite simply become ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous and was obviously set up to use naive people with popular web pages. No question.

So I then decided I was so fed up I would take my advertising all off for six months to a year! Those cheeky bastards!

At the same time I was first being asked question by friends and family who are not IT literate how it works and I could not answer, besides being trained to do that!!

Sorry all you moron advertising companies but your trained over and over again in your degree to be able to explain complicated IT things to those not IT literate? So how is it I have never been able to work it out in the time it took me to complete a degree course?!

So I then placed the adverts back on, via Linkshare this time (Rakuten or Play.com) and then due to the events I mentioned I forgot to check my account repeatedly.

Now I am pretty sure that I have not given them my bank details, something I may be confused with a different affiliate network.

Friends and family also started to get both negative and sarcastic about my blogs ever making money too!!

Now this I found extremely strange because this negative and sarcastic attitude has very slowly in read over around 18 months ago which was extremely naive to do because...

I had no advertising in place for a year and with each month the numbers were gettinever more closer. Though I know the sarcasm was mainly down to two people in the two groups of people I know.

One person even said in the first 6 months that they wo ld do it for a year and then if they made no money would walk away from it?

I am not going to do it but if I explained the situation they were in it would sound like a ludicrous thing to say.

So the situation with this advertising is most deliberately muddied so that blog writers and web page owners in the early years can be conned!

One of my blogs is fast approaching 100,000 visitors on its own and with that sort of number why would I even need a middle man?!

Any hop I decided that, now that I have woken up out of a feverish sleep that went from 9pm to 12.30am, I would check my emails as I asked what sort of monthly figures minimum and maximum I would need to expect to reach the minimum threshold payment?

Now I asked this previously and was somewhet concerned I did not get an answer for the one, true and obvious reason, see below. It is not rocket science!!

Once again I got muddled answers from people that sounded like they did not have a clue!!

So I got angry and once again I got an email without proper answers, well from Link share and am still waiting for Amazon Associates to get back to the second angry email.

Anyway the deliberate reason I mentioned above is that..

If they do not answer it is because they do not want you to know so a con OR...

Everything is set up so that THEY DO OK but do not give a shot about you so...well a con!

If you had an advert on a bus stop in a quiet village it would not been seen by thousands of people each month and likely in the hundreds.

So how is it I get over ten thousand each month by a considerable amount and they still cannot give me any answers?! Despite that being their job?

Oh and as ever they are utter carp at laying out professional looking emails.... either that or my Hotmail App My mail keeps screwing them up.

The Email...

Dear Total Patel

Ahh thank you.

Now we are getting somewhere. Thank you for understanding.

Though you may be surprised to realise that I have not looked at my account with you for over 6 months now. So I have no idea what the numbers are.

Sorry I obviously had pay per click in my head when I emailed you.

Also I can now ask you something else and you would understand what I am asking and to be honest I realised this when I first was asked by Google to become an affiliate of theirs two years ago, so Google have only made me far more suspicious of all this.

The question...

So it is a pay per purchase arrangement, which in the current global financial climate will expose itself as unfair, but what happens if someone sees someone's advert but then decides to buy the product a day or two later by going directly to the web page?

Do you then get paid then because I do not see, as BSc Single Honours Applied Computing, how you could do that? Well you likely could with some effort but I really do not see big businesses doing this and everyone I have come across on my blog, both public organisations and private companies, rips off its customers.

I really don't care if everyone just accepts the situation, my blog works by my over active mind realising something underhanded is going on and then finding a way to expose it.

Without something in place to link an author's blog to someone's adverts for a later purchase this would not be fair in the current climate and in all honesty a con.

I am sure you would agree that advertising is big money and big business, too much money in all honesty, but that using a cheeky way to save hundreds of millions or even billions would be...well extremely serious?

Yours sincerely

Revenue Income Question

Discussion Thread
Response Via Email (Publisher Support Agent) 01/06/2015 06:03 ON

Dear Martin,

Thank you for writing back!

From your email, it seems that there is some confusion in understanding the commission structure of Rakuten Affiliate Network.

I agree you have a popular blog and have good number of visitors; however, please be informed that most of our advertisers pay commission on valid purchases. Also, I understand you are concerned about no sales showing up in your Rakuten Affiliate Network account although you have generated numerous clicks for them.

Please be assured that there are no issues with regards to tracking. You may want to make a test purchase from your blog to confirm that sales are being reported and shown on your dashboard.

It is just that the people are

clicking the ads of your approved advertisers on your blog, but are not encouraged enough to buy anything. It is advisable to add multiple advertisers and put variety of ads on your blog. This should increase the chances of clicks getting converted into sales and thus your chances of earning commission.

To issue a payment to you, the amount of your earned commissions which have already been paid by your advertisers must exceed the payment threshold that you have set in your account. Kindly note that the default payment threshold value is 50. Once, the amounts of your earned commissions which have been paid by your advertisers exceed the payment threshold value, we issue the payment to you.

Hope the above information is helpful.

Regards,

Toral Patel

Dear Sirs

Err,  where did you get the idea that I was asking you to increase revenue/traffic on my blog?

I did NOT ask this and I am offended that you would think of me as being that stupid! Very offended, I DO have letters after my name! Or did you missed that hit arms bot bother reading to the end?

I also cannot find it highly suspicious that time after time these affiliates and  associates avoid this question!

It REALLY is not rocket science.

A minimum and maximum number of monthly visitors that would generate the first threshold payment?

It is not impossible... I was told previously by Groupon that they thought about 2,000 but I get around 12,000 to 15,000 the last time I bothered to look.

If this figure is different you the one you had be seen well it is because I have TWELVE BLOGS and not just one.

A simple...

'a' to 'b' garners 'x'to 'y'

because...

Time + 'D' <= Ridicule + 'W' from Friends and Family.

A simple fact that large naive companies that act very evil and amoral fail to realize from the victims they cheat free advertising and brand awareness out of.

A bust stop in a quiet village will have an advert on it and it likely is not seen by many more than a few hundred people each month. That advert does not come for free!

So I have been trying to work out for 2.5 years why affiliates and associates can get advertising and brand awareness for free desire having way over 10,000 a month and rising?

It is NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. I have a computing degree. Don't test me or talk to me like I am an idiot because it simply won't end well.

Now once again... the formula above...

A Minimum to Maximum monthly visitors to get the lowest threshold of payment?

I warn you here and now since I started asking this off Google they then ceased their affiliate programs. I also have thousands of people who are very interested to know why they can not be given the answer to that very simple question. A LOT of people and along with the long list of organisations I expose as corrupt on my blog which are in the many dozens of the biggest names, all UK public services and even the Police and higher up! People really should pay attention to the subject matter of the blog and even have the courtesy to read the damn email.

Once again, God only knows how you got from my email that I wanted help Ben being more traffic that first off all its bloody obvious you cannot provide and I do not bloody need anyway.

So can n you try again to boot be rude while being bloody lazy?

Yours sincerely

Dear Martin,

Thank you for your email!

I understand that you're concerned about generating revenue. Upon checking, I see that you have applied to only two advertisers - Kobo UK and Klipsch US. Also, I checked the Signature Orders report by going to Advanced under the Reports Tab and found that there are no orders reported for these advertisers.

Additionally, we do not provide the type of Marketing and Advertising support related to increasing your website traffic, sales, and commissions. With that being said, I can offer you a few pieces of general advice:

1.   Work to increase traffic--the more people that visit your website, the more likely purchases will be made.

2.   Update your website and link

offerings frequently so users are encouraged to visit often.

3.   Make it look good! Design and content, particularly how easy is your website to navigate and how easy on the eyes, are important.

Hope the above information is helpful. Thank you for contacting Rakuten Affiliate Network!

Dear Sirs

asaintcalledallnights.blogspot.com

I have had the above blog for 2.5 years now and several others almost as long.

I have a dozen altogther and I did have advertising for awhile...

However I became seriously displeased with a number of companies as I was giving away free advertising and brand awareness to a level that you simply could not get anywhere else.

Even a bust stop advert was not getting the daily viewers I was getting a year ago.

So I removed everything for a year.

Then 6 months ago I put some LinkShare stuff on but have ben too busy or ill to check.

I tried many times and asked many people what is a very simple couple of questions...

As my most popular blog is based on lies and corruption in both public services and private companies what amount of visitors per month would be an amount to expect a payment, even just a minimal one?

I was previously told 2,000 but I never got confirmation of that from Groupon.

Yours faithfully

THE FIBROMYALGIA 102 WHILE NAVIGATING THE AMAZON

YOINKS! Pressed the wrong button! Try again ...

I have now acquired an adaptor to secure my Akasa Memory Card Reader as I failed to realise I had ordered a 3.5 inch Memory Card reader when I should have ordered a 5.25 inch one! Rookie error that one is let me tell you!

This means I have applied one more finishing touch to my Project Zero PC RIG! One more daft item, fan splitter cable, is in the post and be here in 3 or 5 days and one is arriving tomorrow at a local store for me to collect, a Corsair Vengeance K70 Keyboard.

I have to keep this down to a minimum as I simply have to pay Eon Energy something for my bil and finish it off in two weeks time!

This leads me onto me talking about first a letter from Eon asking me nicely why I have not been in touch, yes I said NICELY, and quite literally as I put the letter down to Eon staff, two very nice and friendly ladies, knocking on my door?! Now it should already be apparent that as I ordered stuff today it means I got paid today! At long last! That was a tough couple of months squeezing by!

Now they explained they 'know we have upset you a number of times and that you have found out about your condition..' some other stuff and .. 'we know about your blog ...' before saying 'we have read all your emails ...'! I then said which is always a good test and the looks make me laugh 'oooh so you kow about the radical Muslims holding my daughter hostage and the plans against the London Olympics then?' to which they looked concerned and said 'err no!' to which I said 'Oh you have not read quite that much then.'

I was shocked as they were genuinely nice about everything as was the letter I receieved. I joked about how quick they were and that I had only just put the letter down when they knocked. I explained what I had been doing. I explained that I had recently beaten Enfield council to which they smiled and said "GOOD!" and I decided to quickly build a PC. But that while I was 'quickly' building this PC I had the issue with Guy's Hospital and the NHS attempting to try and make me look dishonest because of the blog. I explained my last GP and what happened with the current one. I then explained that while this was going on with the GP and Guy's Hospital (or more accurately the entire NHS) that something else had happened with my daughter. I then paid her £30 via digital banking and then she requested the help of another £20 so that she can get to court over the shenanigans.

The power of the blog compels thee?

I did ask two members of my family to help with the £20 as I had nothing at the time. This was an extremely difficult thing for me to do but was not for me, it was for my daughter and I received a no from one with a patronizing explanation about bills. Another one kindly agreed to help and said they would be around the following night. The following night I had already paid my daughter the £20 she needed to get to court, so that she did not have to go around to her evil mother as they had a big court battle that her evil mother lost. Somehow she escaped being locked up in one of two types of institutions and Wirral Council somehow escaped giving my daughter a million pounds. But never mind that as what goes around comes around and they will realise that you simply cannot dodge bullets! While I worked for Land Rover, or Stratstones of Mayfair I was called 'BULLET.

'Bullet' was the first nickname I had ever been given since I earned the nicknames of Saint and Allnights the first being thirty years ago and the other about 15 years ago, hence the title of the webpage. Hmm that should get many people thinking but I am not telling, lol.

Anyway I helped a mate out for a day and when I told him that my daughter needed the cash he handed me twenty quid and said 'well I owe you that anyway for helping me out' which I forgot and I said 'no, I was just helping out, it is not helping out if you have to pay me!' to which he said he had a good day, yadda yadda yadda and I took the money. Went straight to the bank and while walking somewhere else, likely to the GP to get the whole egotistical bullshit you get from GP's, I used an app on my phone to send the money to her account, while listening to music on headphones! PHEW!

Anyway the visit and the money did not come as promised which mattered not because I did not need it in the end! I am not quite sure exactly what happened and is so often the case some people sit around thinking up scenarios that are completely wrong but never seem to realise that thinking these scenarios up is a waste of time? You would think that WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG would then teach them that being presumptuous, certainly with me way above all others, only ends up with a totally embarrassing situation?! NOPE!

Of course in any given event there are the possibilities list. IN any given situation I always know the contents of any given lists of possibilities. I simply cannot help it if each entry on said lists are wrong. It is not my fault if people are not able to learn the answers for themselves after being given all the facts needed.

At the same time if people cannot find the reasoning behind actions or behaviours because of past events and due to an inordinate amount of time an individual has had to put up with the narrow minded attitudes of others or the fact that an individual gets bored with always the same outcome then I am afriad that is not my fault either.

It is a common thing within British Society that we have become extremely bad at attributing blame. We live in an era of Rose Tinted Spectacles I am afraid to see and many people who want to blame someone, somewhere for something refuse to accept certain ... entries on their lists that are the ones to blame. Guess what I will say next about whose fault that is? LMAO!

So onto Amazon. I ended up with two SSD Drives and that is the situation where I was calling them all kinds of names and being all angry. There was one naive woman who some time ago left an comment on one of my blogs about me being angry ad the language I used towards someone ... ooh yeah it was Very Catalogue who I then much later proved myself to be correct about and winning with the courts without even leaving my house! Proving that not only was I correct about Shop Direct, owners of Very and Littlewoods, but also proved that lady naive as well as wrong. Umm err not my fault!

Well I found out what had happened with the deliveries! Yes after the second send out of the same item also failed to arrive causing me to sit indoors for a second day for a delivery that was never going to come?! That one! An hour or so after sending of that last email calling them names like incompetent and swearing at them  someone knocked on my door.

A man I had never seen before handed me a parcel that had both Amazon's name and mine on it. It was the first item and it had been 'thrown into my back garden'?! 'You were lucky the dogs did not chew it!' to which I agreed and I decided that I would use it and pay for it later as I wanted a second SSD Drive anyway. But then this was down to the fact that it had survived being tossed over someones very tall back garden fence?! I filmed myself with the object, or OBJECTS to be precise, with the intention of posting the video on my YouTube account at a later date, around this weekend or early next week in a series of over twenty videos!

It did not survive being thrown and right now my computer tells me I only have ONE drive installed when I should have TWO!!

Tonight there was another balls up on Amazon when I ordered a 4 pin cooling fan splitter cable os one fan is not plugged in. Ergo my PC Rig is not finished though it IS running! I still need a keyboard, TOMORROW, a Blu-Ray Writer drive and Logitech G602 Laser Mouse (2 weeks time) and then I am switching purchase, POSSIBLY, to a Microphone as I am thinking of doing news podcasts in an altogether whole new way using things that are unique to me?! Very cool idea but its still in the 'should I, shouldn't I' stage. Though by the time I am ready to do this I should have a better idea if it is worth it?!

Old father time has to play his cards yet again!

I also went a bit quiet on here as I tried to get out on my bike to acquire content for my blogs, with no cash, and I left my water bottle behind two days on the trot!! The second day it got really hot and I ended up dehydrated to a degree I had never experienced before! I now realise that I had not taken my excessive sweating into account on this, though GP's should have done as they know about excessive sweating, no I ride a bike everywhere in summer and know I have Fibromyaglia and ... YADDA YADDA YADDA!

My mouth become really ... err PAPPY, lol. My tongue would stick like a magnet to any part of my mouth and I ached a lot and felt like crap when I got home! In fact I had planned to ride my bike or get a bus today to acquire my keyboard! I am a bit impatient with some things. But I was so, soo bad when I got up I literally thought if I did this I would not be in a good way and could be home bound for several days!! That is the danger with Fibromyalgia as you do not know your going too far until it is too late. So you have to be sensible and others that cannot be bothered to read think your just being awkward ... or even LAZY! Then years later they forget about all that not realising that you simply do not forget as if you suffer with Fibromyalgia you are reminded every single day that its there in severak different ways. Fibromylagia sufferers will know this all too well and those that may have had difficulties not realising it is down to the Fibro are now lookig at these words and going "OH WHAT THE F*CK!! THAT'S WHY {YADDA} HAS BEEN HAPPNENING?! I AM GONNA KNOCK MY GP OUT COLD!!" if its a man or "I am gonna cut off his gonads or slap him in the face" if it is a woman, lmao! Or the first one for women if they have trained in martial arts?!

But you have to bear in mind that health staff are different to everyone else as violence is not allowed to be used against them no matter what the circumstances as they are a different species to the rest of us. My own advice would be do not do this and do not even get angry, even if they fully deserve it, as they will just put a label on this anger to suit themselves and they can abuse this because they are Doctors and everyone seems to think that Doctors do not lie?

It seems no one learned a damn thing from Doctors like Harold Shipman, lol. Oh well I am sure when someone has died as a result of this via hiding the condition or a GP getting him or herself stabbed by someone that is capable of that sort of thing then everyone, including the GP's, will finally learn. A shame that in the UK that is what it takes.

It is like a mirror image of America and its gun culture? The ones wanting the guns fail to realise that there is something very wrong, very, VERY WRONG! It is the only country in the world that has this problem, that is not down to some bonkers fanatical outfit that seems to think that their all powerful God cannot go around killing people for himself that piss him off that much, that has this problem. Has it a lot! It seems to have become monthly now and almost bi-weekly at times. But something is very wrong in America right now and its attitudes both at home and abroad have become completely cut off from both it's people and reality.

Now we do not have a gun problem but we do seem to have a knife problem but its nowhere near as frequent as America's shootings. However I think if looked into the GP problem I have spent many years, yes Manish not a couple of meetings with you I am afraid (people REALLY SHOULD read this blog!), trying to expose is actually a daily problem. I am not naive enough nor obsessed with self importance to believe it is not just me! Oh, no ...

The very purpose of this blog was to reach out to those that thought they were being fobbed off and lied to and show that it was highly likely that they were and added to that ... HOW TO CATCH THEM OUT!!

I have often used a very old saying in the posts of these blogs in that you can fool some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time! I shall now do a spelling lesson ...

When enough people who have suspected things both past and present have found me then they know for sure and they simply have to prove. It is easy, after all, for the media to be ... steered away from one man but what then happens when that one man becomes hundreds? What if he then becomes thousands? Whet if he then becomes hundreds of thousands?

Now those I battled can pull up any numbers they wish from wherever they might look and think they have what is important and that they have the complete picture. Yes well remember my constant nagging to one and all about being far too presumptuous? Are we LEARNING YET?!

On and it is now Wednesday and I do not believe that anyone has answered me yet as far as the PHSO, PALS and the NHS are concerned?! 

Hmm THE POWER OF THE BLOG COPELS THEE?!

LMAO!

Anyway I thought it may be of interest to readers of what I said to Amazon?


EMAIL TO AMAZON ... 

Dear Amazon

Right now do not panic about the headline of this email as it is NOT what you think, well it IS but under different circumstances.

Now I recently placed an order for the above item which your delivery people royally screwed up twice in a row, leading me to absolutely scorn the living daylights out of you! I am still not happy with what happened and have been ordering products needed elsewhere except for ones I do not mind waiting for!

Now please take note of what I have said because its going to get a little confusing!

You sent out TWO products and the first one you stated was registering as being within the vicinity of my house due to some ...geo-tagging you claimed you used?!

Now I am going to assume that you do ... and I am then going to state that provided this was not some sort of bluff to check if I was being honest I can actually now tell you what happened!!

Now I have both a blog and a YouTube account where I attract many, many visitors and am currently posting up a series of 'How To' videos and one on building a PC. In the videos, when they get posted, you will note that I have not one Crucial SSD but TWO!!

After I last emailed you and scorned you quite badly for being incompetent I had a knock at my door later that night. There stood a man in his late fifities I did not know holding an Amazon package in his hand! I had only just been told that a delivery attempt was made and that I was not in, by you and not true I assure you. Therefore it could not have been the SSD you were trying to deliver that day, a Sunday. On top of this was the only other outstanding order for the Kingston Hyper Beast RAM which was being delivered by Royal Mail and as it was Sunday I knew it was not that.

The chap said that it had been THROWN OVER HIS FENCE INTO HIS BACK GARDEN!!! He went on to state that I was lucky the dogs did not chew it up as he owned two dogs!

Now I was going to buy a second SSD in a couple of months time and I thought, well hell when I have all the bits I will plug it in and provided it has not been damaged from being tossed over a fence I will alert you when I know and sort out paying for it. Though this would not have been very wise with an tch thats been tossed about.

However quite unfortunately for you, the SSD was damaged and my new PC only registers one drive in the computer!

So I am going to send this one back to you, once I work out which of the two identical drives it is and managed to remove it. Hopefully this will not be too long and at some point in the next ten days when I acquire more parts and take everything apart again I will send it back to you.

As for your delivery drivers, the best said about that ... THE BETTER! I am sure you will agree!! God only knows where you get the idiots from!!

Now I have another issue to speak to you about and have just emailed someone regarding it. It is to do with ordering something for express delivery and then realising that the cost of way over £8.00 postage is ridiculous for a wire splitter that costs two or three pounds!

I cancelled it successfully but when I reordered it WITHOUT the postage your website told me it was a duplicate order?!

One Akasa fan splitter lead at £2.80 odd and no postage, please! To charge £8.00 for something that weighs a few grams is utterly ridiculous and I do wish you would sort yourselves out as with each week it is becoming more and more messy and more of a headache to order anything from you.

I could have reserved and collected from Maplin tomorrow for £3.00!

I have reserved and collected a Corsair Vengeance K70 keyboard form PC World because of what happened with your orders and this postage rubbish. I still need a Blu-Ray writer and a Logitech G602 Mouse among other things but not when its going to be stressful I am not.

Not with a company that is owned by rich Americans that fail to see that refusal to pay corporation tax has been hurting the very people they make their cash out of, which includes none other than disabled people too.

So why I am even BOTHERING to inform you of these things and help you I simply do not know. I did not have to tell you about the SSD drive, you might do well to remember that!

Yours

Martin Haswell BSc
