The Twelve Days of Christmas - Day Six

Have you ANY IDEA just how aggressive a flock of geese with eggs to protect actually are?

Six hissing, honking psychopaths turned up today, along with all the other feathered pests and yet another damn pear tree!  They have since escaped and are now terrorising the neighbourhood.  Mrs O’Leary from next door has decided to barricade herself in after being viciously pecked when she tried to shoo the vile creatures away with a yard broom.

The police have issued ME with a caution.

How can you POSSIBLY say there’s nothing wrong with your damned machine?

Please, just come and disconnect it.  I will even continue to pay the rental.

Yours truly

Edward Meeks

Dear Mr Meeks

I can only say how sorry we at Replicon are to hear of your continuing difficulties.

As regards to your request for disconnection, this is a very busy time of year for us, as many people are purchasing and installing our machines ready for the Christmas festivities.  The earliest, therefore, that we can schedule a visit by one of our engineers is 26th December at 10:30 a.m.

I trust that this is satisfactory.

Yours truly

Gerard Cochrane
Service Manager

  3. DFTO - not too long, I should think.

    Jessica - I once worked in customer service, a thankless job for the most part.

  6. So funny - as a self-actuated individual I think that I could find the plug for the thing myself - but maybe not :)

  8. I'm just finally getting caught up on these, and man, this is great. I can hardly wait to see where this goes. Poor ol' Mr. Meeks already has a lot more patience than I would in this situation...

  9. Beer for the Shower - Yes, Meek by name... etc. Mind you, it's the quiet ones you have to watch.
