Long story but I bought a few household things from an online store, I won't give the name here, that seemed to be ok. Well made site, reviews on the site seemed ok and balanced.
Anyway it was the only place that I could get what I wanted and so took the plunge.
I'm now regret it. The order is still in processing online, but on chat they have told me all sorts of stories. Lots of contradictory stories. Going round and round and they are just spinning a real story here. One of their favorites seems to be "we'll send you the confirmation tomorrow" (doesn't happen) and "we have so many orders we must have forgotten to send the confirmation. Ever so sorry". Oh yes and the old classic different person name every time you go onto the chat.
I think the strategy is to make the customer so absolutely frustrated that they'll give up. Or explode.
They have been very 'polite' - but in an insincere way, to the point of me wanting to get on over to China and slap them across the face.
Going absolutely nuts with it and about to get onto Paypal for a refund. Anyone been through that process? Hopefully I can get my money back because I don't feel confident that I will.

Don't we all.
Sounds dangerous that place. As someone else said, I kind of like keeping some things 'special' for when I go back to my home town. Many of them have gone now with the availability of lots of things, good to keep a few treats.

Yes. Ploughmans is one of them that can be rubbish but can be really great.
Here's to Branston pickle as well.

So, when do the Paraolympics start then? Can't seem to recall it being on the news of late.......

I'm really glad George Michael showcased his new rubbish single.

Anyone else having a traditionally Japanese obon holiday this coming week?
Going to spend the time with my g/f family so kind of looking forward to it. Though not sure it will involve any more than resting and eating and drinking!

Forums were closed just before.
Will get on the case.

I watched it the other night.
Wasn't that keen to be honest

Yeah a plane would be better!

I have no idea what I was doing there.
That was one from before.
Anyway it seems to be correct.
Over to you DiGriz

Where's this then?

I will resume gambaro-ing from the week after next.

The Waking Dead.
Sort of a bit like Cold Case, but done before Cold Case, Brit and better than Cold Case,

There's a few people I have known since coming to Japan who seem to only be able to speak with me properly at enkais (drinking parties).
Enkai...very friendly and show real interest, not just a drunken let's talk to the gaijin act.
Next day at work.... back to total stranger mode.
Curious, anyone else know some of them?

I've got one, give me an hour or so...

Must be a Sayama thing, MO.

I saw that on a flight, it was really fun.

Isn't Kofu actually famous for being one of the hottest places in Japan?

Me too.
Looks good!

I wish I could!
