Guya came to service the aircon units today. Not only did they not do that properly, they've also kicked the wires around on the roof so now my sat tv doesn't work.
"Did you touch anything on the roof"?
Head wobble.
"Did you accidentally kick any of these wires, or touch the dish's"?
More wobbling.

Great.

Sorry to hear. Which company in particular?

Thinking of getting ours done before summer strikes.

Thanks

Feck knows....the Mrs found the number on her phone. Now the sat tv guy is ignoring me. He's great, he'll ignore any request for help, but is my best mate when it comes round to subscription renewal time....which is soon. I usually grill him about the lack of contact/interest and I just get more wobbling and smiles.....wished there was someone that existed in Dubai tht could sort all this tv ste out.....but there isn't,, I convinced of that.

I leave all comms to our driver, who is Sri Lankan. I tell him the problem, he shouts at them and the job is done.

I have an Indian wife - I tell them they have two options. Deal with me or deal with her.

It gets sorted pronto.

I can relate to that. Tends to be safer for me though to just allow my other half to deal with things directly to save me getting it in the neck for not quite getting it right..

Pay to watch F1 on television through a sat connection. Lunacy.
