General life story
As I was up early today, I gave feedback to Dell, regarding the new laptop i had purchased.
I thought it made a change that they had given awhile before asking for feedback.
Overall, the laptop, has been a godsend, especially regarding my work. Excellent purchase and thank you to the input from Mark.
After the doctor’s appointment, I drove over to Speldhurst to meet with Nick, so that he could sign the paperwork, that I could get a photocard driver license to move into the modern world lol.
In all the years I have known him, I did not realise how much he was interested in cycling. I was shocked to see how much a bicycle could be and even a frame.
See you don’t know everything about someone.
Every small win counts.
Just after the presentation was completed, we left our seats and went to the ground level and manage to capture the moment that the England women won the Euro Final via penalties. The atmosphere was crazy.
England 1 – Spain 1 – HT 0-1 – AET 1-1
England win 3-1 on penalties
A. Russo (57) Mariona Caldentey (25)

Chloe Kelly, who scored the iconic winner at Wembley in the final of Euro 2022, was the hero again as she converted the decisive spot-kick to seal victory after Spain had missed three in a row, with Hannah Hampton saving two of them.
It is the first time an England team has won a major trophy on foreign soil and seals manager Sarina Wiegman’s status as one of the world’s greatest with her third successive European title – achieved with two countries.
The Lionesses also became the first side to win a single-legged Euros final having been behind at half-time, proving they are the ultimate comeback queens.
They looked down and out when they trailed for a fourth time at Euro 2025, having conceded first in all three knockout matches – but they would not allow their story to end in such a feeble manner.
Mariona Caldentey’s first-half header had put Spain in control, but it did little to dampen England’s unwavering belief and they refused to be beaten.
Substitute Kelly’s introduction changed things when she came on for a struggling Lauren James, named in the starting XI by Wiegman despite doubts over an ankle injury in the build-up.
Kelly’s whipped cross picked out Alessia Russo, who headed the ball into the far corner to make it 1-1.
The Lionesses then dug deep, putting in endless blocks and playing for a shootout, knowing they had what it took to deliver under pressure and complete the greatest achievement by an England team.
So, what a day for women’s sport, highest attendance at a women’s domestic T20 cricket match, and then the England women retained the Euro and first time an English senior side as won a competition on foreign soil. Go ladies.
After a few games of playing cricket, I felt when I was running, I was running in treacle.
So, after some communication, decided to go and see Andy a personal trainer and have a workout once a week to see if I can resolve this issue.
From discussion, we believe that this is down to the varicose veins and blood not flowing through my legs well.
Watch this space.
After years of Claire nagging at me, I finally gave in and went on to the Government website and requested a new driver license.
Considering we only raised this the issue in June, very impressive with how Tapi dealt with the stair issue and replacing the carpet for free.
I raised this safety query on the 9th of June after the Robbie Williams concert at the Arsenal Emirates Stadium.
I had to chase several times by phone calls, and this was the response.
“Dear Michael.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us. I am sorry for the delay in responding to you during this busy time. Additionally, we’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced at the recent Robbie Williams concert.
As a matter of caution, we’ve shared your feedback with our Stewarding Manager for review, particularly in relation to how the queueing system was implemented and of course your comments around the interactions you had with members of our stewarding team. Our aim is always to ensure that queuing is managed as comfortably as possible for attendees, while still adhering to our security policies.
For both nights of the Robbie Williams concerts, the promoter requested that certain turnstiles be designated for early access, specifically for those with tickets to enter the golden circle, for instance. Given the unpredictable timing of when fans chose to queue, and the fact that turnstiles would remain open for an extended duration, it was determined that fencing would not be necessary in this case. Naturally, our Event Safety team is reviewing this situation in preparation for any upcoming non-football events, and we will convey your feedback and experiences.
Should you wish to enquire further with Live Nation regarding timings from the concert they can be contacted via: Live Nation UK
Thank you again for your feedback.”
Just a joke, they didn’t answer the question and mentioned something that I didn’t ask about and then passed the buck.
Arsenal you are rubbish.
Never thought I would be titling a post for Arsenal football club.
This morning, I had enough and posted a 1-star trust pilot review of Arsenal football club after their pathetic response or lack of response to my enquiry from the 9th June,
They obviously don’t care about the reviews as they don’t respond to any, good or bad reviews, and I was surprised to see many more bad reviews than good reviews.
I also sent an email to Robbie Williams to let them know about the great show, but the lack of safety outside of the stadium.
Then if they give poor service, I will mention it.
In July 2020, we had our stairs carpet lay, the carpet was meant to be hard waring because of the usage, but in the last year we noticed these threading issues on parts of the carpet, that wasn’t being trodden on.
I decided to raise a query with TAPI a few days ago; the company who we purchased the carpet from.
I must admit, I have been impressed with their response, as this morning they said they would replace the carpet and fit free of charge.
Always good to ask questions of companies as I have found out this year.
