My ankle issue has flared up again after a quiet good few months. I'm in agony with it. The worst timing ever as I'm due to have a TMBG weekend with gigs in Belfast and Dublin. Train tickets and hotel booked and everything. Stubbornly insisting the weekend is going ahead.

Cunts gonna cunt.

I'm stealing this...

The Cure are charging 20 quid for a fucking 7 inch single. The cynicism of these labels turning records into commodities/investments is reaching ever staggering heights.

Sterling or euro? Not that it really matters

A friend has had to move back home to Euroland. Because visa reasons. I played it cool at the going away drinks last night I thought, because I reckoned that she needed space for all the other friends she's made while here. And not unimportantly, her serious boyfriend fella.

But I am sad. Now I have no one to talk to about French cinema and Stargate SG1. And the silliness of our general environs. I was in the pub tonight and did have fun chats with folks, but it's not the same.

I feel like I should have done more or something.
Fuck Brexit.

A man called today from Electric Ireland to do a meter reading, confirm my partners phone number and hand deliver a letter for arrears.
We had a meter reading last year and the rest have been estimates and paid by direct debit on time, every time.
So drum roll please for the bill…..

I'm sorry,
Does that say EIGHTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS?

 

[Cormcolash]

I'm sorry,
Does that say EIGHTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS?

No, it says EIGHTEEN THOUSAND EUROS

 

[Reets]

Euros, so not as bad.
Went on to our online account and it’s the same figure.
I’m assuming there’s been a mix up somewhere because that is just insane.
We don’t even have a grow house

 

[chris d]

Waaaaaat?

 

[Reets]

Yep, a lot of “what the fuck”.
I sat in front of the meter timing the kw usage like a crazy person.
Well a crazy person that doesn’t want a nearly 20k bill.

 

[chris d]

That just cannot be a real figure. I'm going to ballpark our monthly electric bill as about €100 a month. And that's probably on the higher side than actual bills. We do have gas separate for cooking and heating.

[Reets]

That’s the online bill, we never log in because the emailed bill has the figure so we know how much it’s going to be and just forget about it.
They have to have us confused with someone else though. It’s a small 2 bed apartment and I know my partner games at night but that’s maybe 3 hours in an evening and the heating is gas.
Anyway, I’m not paying it so they can whistle.

 

[ernesto]

sorry, yes Euro not Pounds.

That is fucking insane though

there's no way that can be even remotely accurate
