I received an email a couple of days ago.

This was from this here website telling me that someone suspicious was trying to comment.

I’m always wary of these notices as I could be opening the floodgates for a troll or something. I check to see if they are a regular who has just accidentally mis-typed their mail or their name [it happens!]. Nine times out of ten they are someone suspicious, but this latest had an email address that ended @allianz.ie. Fuck!

Those of you with better memories than mine may recall that I wrote about my frustrations with Allianz and my inability to set up accounts. Now I did actually sort out the problem with the help of a very chatty person in their support office, but I assumed this person trying to mail me was about to complain about my scribbles.

I was wrong.

I sent her a mail explaining it wasn’t actually a complaint about Allianz but rather a moan about their computer system. I got a very apologetic mail back saying she had no complaints but had seen my little article and was actually hoping to offer help and sort out my problem for me. Frankly I was somewhat gobsmacked. I’m not used to such service. Anyways I thanked her and said I was sorted.

I’m not used to this sort of service in Ireland.

Yesterday I decided to do something about my car and it’s temperamental battery problem. I drive up to Halfords to get a jump start kit. The young lad there could not have been more helpful. He immediately found a yoke that was a lot cheaper than the one I had looked at [my choice apparently was overkill]. He then insisted on examining my car even though it was pissing rain with a freezing wind. He checked my battery – nothing wrong with it. I bought the [cheaper] kit anyway for my own piece of mind and went home happy.

I am really not used to all this good service.

If it carries on I’ll have nothing to complain about.

Today I tried another abortive attempt to renew my driving licence. Their website just plain didn’t work. An essential link on their site just didn’t do anything. I then had a thought – maybe it was just a crap web design that hadn’t heard of Firefox. Sure enough, I tried the site in Chromium [the Linux equivalent to Chrome] and it worked a treat, so much so that if I had completed their questionnaire I would have been issued with a new licence from today. It’s not actually due for another month so I’ll go back into the site then.

Fuck! I have nothing to bitch about.

Maybe I should purchase Kamikaze Harry’s book?

Nah! He can fuck off. Twat.
