		<description><![CDATA[I had an email last week from Apple, inviting me to their store opening in Brighton where I work. They even threw in the tempting idea of a free t-shirt, for the first 1,000 people through the door. Excited, I decided to go with a friend during our lunch hour.
Oh. My. God.
Figuring it&#8217;d be either [...]]]></description>

He arrived at 15:45 with no phone call, despite the promise he&#8217;d ring on the day to give some idea of when he&#8217;d be here. Irritation point 1. 
To his credit, he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year I received a call out of the blue from my current cell phone provider (Three UK), with an existing customer only offer of half-price mobile broadband. For £5.00 a month I&#8217;d get 1GB inclusive transfer each month, and a free USB modem, for the life of both contracts. Excellent! 
What turned out to [...]]]></description>

When I got back I made a [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t believe in &#8220;loyalty&#8221; in terms of insurance, I go with whoever gives me the best quote that year for the maximum amount of cover and &#8216;little niceties&#8217; such as a lower compulsory excess, or free breakdown cover etc.

Of course, I wasn&#8217;t expecting to. But I&#8217;m annoyed all the same to have had my private doubts confirmed by a multinational behemoth. 
Perhaps I&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m more than annoyed actually, I&#8217;m f**king livid. Rather than re-type the whole story, let me share an email I just sent to the Sky Complaints department via their website:
Dear Sky,
I&#8217;m sure you get quite sick of people whining on a daily basis, so I&#8217;ll try and keep this brief. I upgraded my parents [...]]]></description>

So anyway; cast your mind back to my earlier post when Mum asked me what I wanted. I did [...]]]></description>
