Getting my phone to charge these days is getting on my tits, I have to have the cable angled a certain way and almost wedged against a wall to prevent it popping out.

Also my Nintendo switch, the analogue joy stick doesn't recognise when I push up, unless I really push down. Luckily I'm not playing a game that requires instant reactions but I'm probably going to have to get it sorted somehow.

Have you tried a new/different phone cable? I had the same issue, bought a cheap replacement cable and it works fine. If you keep bending the one you have, you could potentially damage the charge port on your phone, in which case one of them phone repair shops could fix handy enough.

Replacing the joystick looks easy enough

Tried a different cable and its still pretty much the same problem. Sometimes I think there's dirt and dust getting into the charge socket as I ve taken a safty pin around there and have dug out a load of shit.

As for the lite, not confident about doing the surgery myself but I heard compressed air can would do the trick. Nicked a can from work and it seems to be working a little better

Having to bring and then wait for ages for the Mrs at a private hospital for what amounts to a runny nose and enlarged glands.

What's wrong with a cup of lemsip?

[astfgyl]

Everything. It has to be a mug instead of a cup. Well that's not really everything it's more like half of everything because there's the lemsip to go in the mug as well but then there's the water as well so down to 1/3 now and only getting worse when we consider all the other variables such as the composition of the water used and the effect of boiling the water on said composition, and that's without even going into how the water got to be boiled and all that's involved in that too.. I could go on and on oh wait I just did

Happy Saturday everyone

More Customs bullshit received a package last week from UPS valued at $16 but the wankers wouldn't hand it over until I paid a €48 customs fees. I have disputed the charge because the invoice attached to the package clearly states the value of the items is a total of $16 so now they have come back to tell me that the customs fee is primarily based on what it cost the sender to ship the package. Robbing bastards.

A tip for anyone when it comes to customs my postman told me last week that sometimes and especially now in the run up to Christmas they can make mistakes and send packages out before asking for customs fees. So if you ever receive a package then they send you a notification after that asking you pay customs just ignore it because once you have your package they can't force you to pay the customs charges.

Yeah that's standard practice, VAT & Duty is calculated at cost of goods + freight in the majority of cases since it's considered part of the value.  Can't be disputed either.  In cases where the cost of freight isn't shown or declared you might be fine but I noticed meself that if UPS are doing both the clearance and the shipment they'll use their own freight charges on the import docs anyway.

See this thing about freight being part of the final cost is a con of the fucking highest order

Went to a christmas panto earlier (my nephew was in it for about 3 minutes). Fuck me but it's torture at those things. Buggered off at the interval, thankfully.
