  4. have a case no. from Tassimo and they will be sending a postage label to send it back. Will I taste the black gold before Xmas I wonder?
  5. 10 mins on hold @ Tassimo careline before chap called Owen answered said "not good" when I explained the problem then put me back on hold.
  6. on hold with tassimo careline at the moment....."please hold your call will be answered as soon as possible" then some very naff piano music
  7. Day 3 without Tassimo Coffee machine. Unendurable hardship. Ringing Bosch Service later. Maybe I should start a blog about my travails ;o)
  8. @MickBridgman guessing that stands for Veggie Breakfast and not the popular antipodean abbreviation of Victoria Beer ;o)
  9. @garethhardy Well this was Tesco Express Kingstanding.......
  10. Love the way Tesco sushi has a notice saying proudly "no raw fish". It just needs "don't panic" next tobit in soothing green letters.
  11. My #tweetcloud has time as top like everyone. Clinic @ 3 no surprise there really. Nice is no 5, what would my old English teacher say?

  16. Letter from firm's MD. A pay freeze for 2nd year in a row. Merry Christmas to you too & now my Tassimo coffee machine is broken. Bah Humbug
