No customer details as far as I can tell. Order numbers but no names or adddresses. I phoned up. I never phone up because I always cave in and I’m useless on the phone. I avoid the phone at all costs, so I must have been annoyed. Poor Haniff Z. did not seem to know what to make of Upset Mum. I said it was totally inappropriate, sent as a gift, opened to find those notes in a child’s gift, etc. He didn’t seem to quite grasp the problem. There was a slight difficulty in communication as his English wasn’t complete or phrased smoothly, and I think he was having trouble understanding the issue. He was very understanding of the fact I was unhappy and offered to refund me the book and asked if that solved it. I said no, not really, because that wasn’t really the issue, and I’m not quite sure how it happened but he then said he’d refund the other order that arrived earlier in the day, which wasn’t related to any of this at all. I’m not quite sure what he thought the problem was at this point, but unfortunately I think that the break in language was a bit of a barrier. He was nice enough, and I didn’t think I’d get any further to an understanding, so I just said fine. It’s not a small amount, with the other order just shy of £40, but it’s not really a monetary problem. But anyway, a bit cheerier and we have loads of Hey Duggee stickers to ruin the house with. Actually, we like sticking them on our faces and feet, mostly. No idea. |

That's a good result I reckon and doubly good because we now know that Amazon sell Fleshlights. |

Sorry, I’m obviously not on the same page. Do you mean, Mr Dave, that Derren Brown’s Father, who was your old gym teacher, used to make you strip down nearly naked for some reason. Assuming you don’t mean to swimming trunks for a swimming lesson or similar, and rather in a way that was not necessary nor right, have you reported this to someone? |

‘Repeatedly forced to get mostly-naked’ perhaps gives a more sinister sound to that. I’m relieved to hear that, because I was worried you’d been hurt or abused. |

There was a PE teacher who liked to Trump the changing room showers "to make sure we had showered" which was... Interesting. But that's the worst it ever got there. But yeah, it's like I always see three meanings to every sentence - the most literal one, the one that is what the other party actually meant, and often the peculiarly linked one which. Sometimes I reply to or use the literal one knowing full well that it won't be taken that way. And sometimes I use the third only be met by confused looks and no small amount of embarrassment and wanting to crawl into a small hole and die. Fun. |

Check the format of them - a common way of handling early comics was the use of CBR or CBZ files CBR are container files full of images that have been RAR compressed and renamed CBZ are container files full of images that have been ZIP compressed and renamed So if they are images you can just rename your .RAR file to CBR and open them in about any comic reader |
