    Barclays once again taking my mortgage out early, thus leaving me over drawn and then charging me £16 for the privelidge. I've already complained about this, and was told it wouldn't happen again.

    Pre-arrange an overdraft equal to your monthly pay. You don't need to use it, but it covers you for stuff like this. Won't cost you a penny if it sits there unused.

    call from my old man 10 mins ago

    "let me hide my car at your place, the bailiffs are after it"

    jesus ****ing christ i am tired of cleaning up my old mans financial ****. he starts fights over the smallest of things/fees and then comes running to me a year after they're jumping up his arse demanding i sort it.

    just yesterday he moans at me about VM upping their pricing and wants to cancel the tv package he's got with them but he's too ****ing lazy to do it himself and instead blames his Dyslexia all the time. ITS A ****ING PHONE CALL YOU ****ING ****! WHY AM I HACING TO STOP WHAT IM DOING TO SORT YOUR ****ING **** OUT!

    I came on here to rant about FCC being useless, but Gunnys post has made me reconsider how bad it actually is.

    FCC are awful, but Gunsmith's post really puts it into perspective!

    Life with the missus seems to go from good to crap in a day. It's frustrating and I really can't deal with it anymore.

    Stop cleaning up his financial ****. As long as you keep cleaning it, he'll keep creating it because he doesn't have to take responsibility for sorting it out. He'll be angry at you for a while but he'll get off your back. It'll be worth it in the long term.

    I'm with Nexxo. It's not exactly the same thing, but it's worth a mention. My brother gets himself into heaps of financial mess. He'd run to my parents and they'd lend him money all the time, no fuss, no arguments. They'd never grant me or my other brother that even if we were utterly desperate. Why? Because he's their little golden boy. My father got sick of it and finally grew a backbone and said no to him. My mother followed suit some months later.

    It does seem that you'd have to pretty much reject him outright. You may have to deal with an argument or two, but it isn't worth or fair to have the stress on you. It isn't your responsibility to help him; he may be your father, but you need to reject him for his own good.

    Having to find a new datacenter to move equipment to.

    DOS received took out the whole datacenter I was hosted in so for the best of both worlds I need to find a new home.

    Ouch! NTP attack or just the normal packet flood?

    Spent ~12 hours in the office Saturday night through to Sunday morning, and I walk in today to an email asking me to explain why I was in and why I thought it was ok to charge my time to the project I was called in to support.
