Does Game.Co.UK Have The Worst Customer Service Ever

leave a comment »


After having to deal with game.co.uk Customer Service via email recently it got me thinking Does Game.Co.UK Have The Worst Customer Service Ever?

Normally I’d use the online chat feature to deal with Customer Service on game.co.uk, but when I needed to contact them with a question on Monday the website was down for maintenance so I used the email address that was provided.  I got a standard auto reply that CS would get back to me in 48 hours, so after not getting a reply back yesterday which was 48 hours after I emailed CS and I hadn’t received a reply from CS I emailed them again and got the same auto reply about them getting back to me in 48 hours.  I’m sceptical that I’ll get a reply from them tomorrow.

So my plan of action is to try the game.co.uk website and see if I can use the online chat feature, and beleave me I’ll be requesting the email address of a manager or CS Supervisor to complain about the poor service.

If getting on the website is a no go then I’ll Google for there registered address and send them a letter.

So in closing Does Game.Co.UK Have The Worst Customer Service Ever?

Facebook Makes Fun Of People With Cancer By Allowing Sick Group To Stay On The Site

leave a comment »


Facebook has Insulted people with Cancer by allowing a sick page called “Cancer is funny cause people die” to stay active despite it infringing one of their own T’s & C’s.  The most that has happened is that they have been given two warnings and the admin of the page got away with slightly changing the name of the page.  The sick page has even been reported on by daily newspaper The Sun and yet nothing has been done about it.

Cancer is not funny it’s a serious illness and the admin of the page and it’s army of followers should all be ashamed of themselves for making fun of the illness and should also face criminal prosecution for discrimination.

But that is not all Facebook let the policing of its own T’s & C’s down as they to my knowledge only really enforce one.

I’ve once reported a user for making threatening comments to me on my wall and nothing happened & they were allowed to keep there account so that’s one of there T’s & C’s that they don’t enforce, but yet when I post a video of my Brother-in-Law and his friend dancing to Honky Tonk Man I get it removed for alleged Copyright infringement, but then when I try to appeal their decision I can’t because there appeal form needs to be digitally signed which is impossible to do without a digitizer and stylus to create the signature.

here is the Full Facebook T’s & C’s for anyone who has never taken a look at them.

It’s about time that the law unto it’s self AKA Facebook is allowed to die by all its users migrating over to Google+ and leave Facebook to the sick and twisted people out there that think making fun of a serious disease as well as making fun or insulting pages for other groups of people and say that a celebs that are alive are dead.  If Facebook aren’t going to police their own T’s & C’s then people should show their disgust at Facebook by moving there profile to a service that will not tolerate such abuse of T’s & C’s.

The State of British Football

leave a comment »


With Scottish Champions Rangers going into Administration & Portsmouth going into Administration for the 2nd time in three Seasons it’s about time that the SFA and FA did something to stop this kind of thing happening again in the future.

Maybe it’s about time that both the SFA and FA introduced mandatory wage caps in all Leagues that fall under their jurisdiction to curb the recent trend in big Clubs over spending on one or two big name players, this would especially help teams that are in the Scottish Premier League &  Barclay’s Premier League that have highly paid players that are on long term contracts with no relegation clause that then get relegated during that time and start to struggle in paying there wages.

Maybe something like a £1 Million a Season wage cap and scrap the current way of teams owning the players that they sign and abolish that the Players Agent can negotiate stupid wages for the Players that they represent.  This is how it works in UK Ice Hockey but the wage cap is much less than the one I have proposed in my post and not one single UK Ice Hockey Team has gone into Administration due to unrestricted ages, sure they may get into financial trouble but they manage to work through it with help of their loyal fan base and very rarely they do unfortunately have to fold but that is rarer than the recent trend for Football Clubs to go into Administration.

The SFA and the FA should look into how Clubs run their finances for the good of British Football.

Lazy Council Workers And Litter Bins

leave a comment »


Council Workers are lazy when it comes to emptying Litter Bins.  Where I live there is a Litter Bin on a grass bank that has been over flowing and is starting to create litter around it.  The litter bin has been over flowing since June to my knowlage, & it may have been over flowing longer.

The Council should be ashamed of themselves for letting Litter Bins over flow and create litter.

I’d love any comments on Lazy Council Workers And Litter Bins, also if any managers from Viola Waste, Sheffield City Council or Sheffield Homes read this post please leave a comment with a contact email address and I’ll email you the location & a picture of the over flowing litter bin.
