Jumping thru hoops

Sat., April 29, 06:13 AM

Bloody Hell the hoops you have to jump thru to get anything in this country. 12 F*&^%$£ minutes on the phone to My shit phone company just so I can set up Global roaming. Having been without the service for a week because apparently you dont just get global roaming you have to ask for it - even tho I asked for it when I set the contract up and told I couldnt get it till April. Arrrggghhhh. Heres me walking thru town shouting down my phone everytime I get asked to press 1 for this 2 for the other. 6 questions they asked me before I got to speak to a real live person not just a machine and that person was in Inda with at least reasonable English.

Insurance. Ridiculous. If I want to get a cheaper car insurance I have to produce paperwork from my NZ company. Like that is going to happen, all that kind of paperwork stayed in the business. I dont have a hope in hell of getting it. After almost shouting at the guy who I had to keep asking him to repeat what he just said slowly as he garbled everything we settle on a rate and he asks for a deposit. Bollocks. Not enough on the credit card. Race down to the bank. Bollocks bank closed. Cant find my internet banking number anywhere. Bank holiday monday so cant get to bank till tueday. Bollocks.

Oh I have been here a year now. This is my map at the start
