Write to your MP, CC their boss, provide as concise details as you can. Civil servant only jump when they have to cover their arses. Snivelling little weasels.
You're not wrong about covering their arses!
I got a letter saying the complaint had not been upheld prior to the interview.
Queried why and got a call on the morning of the interview to say that it had been looked into again and would not be upheld.
Raised the point at interview that the interviewer was being persistently anti me because of my complaint against her.
Got a call in the afternoon after the interview saying that there had been an error and the complaint had never been looked at after all.
Load of bollocks. At least it's all on tape for the court.

Got called for an interview by the CSA and gave them adequate notice as per their rules to postpone as my mum needed to be taken to hospital for her daily cancer care. Dad couldn't do it as he also had cancer and couldn't drive her.
CSA told me that I needed to attend the interview as and didn't consider this a valid reason not to.
I complained about the person concerned and just been told by the CSA complaints review team that my complaint as not been upheld.
When I asked why, the answer was that they look at all factors and the fact that I had not provided correct info to them meant that this was the deciding factor in not upholding the complaint.
Turns out that when answering a question on a form that says 'Are you self-employed' I answered 'No - not currently self-employed' because I wasn't at the time, that this is providing false information as I was previously self-employed. They even had all my bank statements with the details of payments that I had received!
Tried to explain the difference between 'Are' and 'Were' but the investigating officers didn't understand. Now they are considering criminal action against me for answering a question honestly!
I'd love to go to press to show the CSA in their true light as I'm that cheesed off.
Any thoughts or advice?

I thought he done alright! Ran the game when he come on but a bit rusty with a couple of mistakes!
I text his auntie asking what's going on and got 'He didn't like retirement and they needed him back. Next one back will be Beckham X'
She might be right about first bit but no chance with second bit. Do old birds know owt about footie?
-
Living in sindlesham! Not sure depends on unpacking the van. Will let you know
Got 8 links to streams through to choose from for game this afternoon, so now staying in with a few tinnies!
Hope move goes well and may be meet up another time.
Cheers!

I know it well! I guess your in Lower Earley then?
What time you in Walters Arms?
-
Just down the road mate so if you want a hand with the move when you get down here let me know. Dropping the missus in Reading for shopping about 10.30 and hoping to get a stream later for the game, but can spare a few hours if needed.
Rest assured you won't be the only White in Berkshire but will be surrounded by Chelsea and Reading in Wokingham!
Reading fans 'love' Bolton and have bitter but mostly friendly memories!
-
He was asked specific questions - he answered them. He said Bolton deserved to win. He said Bolton controlled the game for 60 mins.He said it was a pen. He said Pratley should have scored. He said Samba should have scored. What do you disagree with ?
3 tinnies of Fosters, 2 bottles of red and 20 B&H.

Never said a decent thing about us on Sky.
All about how well they did 2nd half and a def pen.
Tosser.

Robinsons challenge should have been a penalty
Bollox He got a nick on the ball first ....

Met a old boy in Reading who reckons his great great grandad played for us years back - Benjamin Pomfret.
Got the stats from 1946 onwards but anyone got any lists from day one when we started? Said I check it out.
He knew relatives had Pomfrets in Moor Lane which used to be a bed shop so I know he's not bull-shitting as I went to school with the son. Unfortunately Warren (the son) died years ago, about 20 years old.

Tried that Pablo but he's a mad fucker with a bit of the white stuff up his hooter.
That's why I'm home now!

Mate of mine in the local is convinced I'm doing his ex-missus who he's still madly in love with and is giving her loads of grief about it today and apparently wants a little chat with me.
Don't get me wrong but I would as she's a real fittie, but I got caught with another bird in the pub a couple of years back and got let off, so I've resisted all temptation. Got pissed, booked hotel and came home following day with tail between my legs which I should of done the night before! Fucking beer goggles!
Trouble is my other half is back tomorrow after a hen week in Canaries and she'll know what's going on before long and I'll never convince her that it's a load of bollocks.
HBAHT - before you ask they look lovely, not big, but pert. The first one I've can't remember as I was rat-arsed!
Thought I'd get rid of hassle like this when I was a teen but in your forties it gets worse!
Any advice?

15/8 we go down
7/1 Coyle next Prem manager to go
If we are going down might as well soften the blow by getting a few quid to drown the sorrows?

Couldn't get a ticket last night after deciding I fancied going a bit late and decided to go watch my fave non league team instead, Farnborough at Truro. 500 mile round trip but needed a footie fix.
Got in car, started lashing down so ended up in the local for a few pints instead.
When I saw they were 7 1 down at half time I counted my blessing I didn't bother. Finished 8 2.
Reminded me when we 6 down after not long at Notts County a few years back about 85?? Parked up near the ground and the coppers made us walk back to the station even though I could touch me car as we walked past it. Long night that!
-
I fancy going now but am ticketless.
Anyone got a spare for tonight?
-
never seen a game delayed more than 10 minutes
30 minutes though, maybe - depends how far into the game, and what time in the evening it is
Was at Oxford Utd v Grays a couple of years back when the Grays keeper got nobbled with a bad neck. 35 mins injury time in first half I think and he played the week after! Saying that bumping into Timmy Mallett in the bar before the game could have messed my head.
Worse bit was gagging for a fag and couldn't get out 'til he blew for H-T.

'kin brilliant that!
-
Ipswich??
Barry Knight??
Got all his details on a FA database - what do you want; address? home number? mobile? e-mail?
I've lost count of the amount of times I've been tempted after a few pints to ring that twat.
All details free to anyone via PM!

No chance.
Thrown out from one of them corporate box things last year for raring up when Gallas hacked Mavies and ref let goal stand.
The missus and the rest of her family are Arsenal and they can fuck off as well. Fuckin hate the place. No atmosphere, shit fans and a load of over paid foreign diving cunts (well they were), just like Chelsea but I'll go there.
Enjoyed Highbury on the odd occasion though!

I'm in the boozer having a couple of pints watching the footie when 3 wannabe kids (about 15 / 16) turn up demanding ?100 of one of my mates as his son owes them.
Now my mate's 60 odd, a big lad with history and did say something that made one of 'em start playing the race card but even so, when they asked him outside what the hell is he supposed to do?
They're kids with attitude but even after telling them to come back with their dads, one of 'em said that he couldn't as his dad was dead. Shame, yes, but when you're fronted by a kid nearly in tears when he said that, but still wanting to try and prove himself in front of his mates, it's so sad.
Trouble is lads like these will learn a very hard lesson, but what can you do?

Do I get a prize for being the cleverest?
Or even an extra one for knowing it was a hat trick?
Could stretch to a fizzy water ???

Complaining To Csa

10+ years of no problems as we had an arrangement.
Her boyfriend then left her and she ended up ?350 short every month in her big fuck off barn conversion.
Came after me for the deficit & contacted CSA as I refused.
CSA got involved but not interested in why.
Last summer her ex told her he'd pay ?400 per month to her as I wouldn't.
She told me her ex would take over as my son's dad last summer.
Needless to say the last bit didn't happen.
