General Q & A #16

Is anyone tech savvy and able to help me figure out how to stop text stretching across like this? Normally it's laid out properly but only recently have the paragraphs been stretched along one long line like that and I have no idea how to fix it.

[EDIT] It's only happening on Chrome for me which is super weird. So if anyone's Chrome savvy and can help me, I'd really appreciate it.

Question solved.

Probably a bit of a long shot, but has anybody ever had problems with getting shipments from a company called LuluTops? My sister ordered a dress off of them almost 3 months ago now, and she's still waiting on it coming. She's sent multiple emails to them with no response, and I've just sent them a PM on Facebook off of her Facebook account but I don't know if that'll do anything. I was wondering if anybody had been through the same issue and if the items arrived, because a lot of the negative reviews online say that the items never arrive, and my sister's going to be out of pocket thanks to this.

Alternatively, does anybody know what body it is in the UK that we can report them to, and how to get her money back if we can't get in contact with them? I just don't want my sister screwed over because some company think it's okay to not send out the dress my sister paid for.

@ nearly witches.
I just have it a quick search and found this site with reviews calling it a scam. How did she pay for the items? If it's through paypal then all she needs to do is open a claim and she'll get her money back.

@ Mr. Darcy
See, I've found a lot of sites saying it's a scam. Thing is, she ordered a shirt for my birthday from them and that arrived, hence why she's ordered from them again but it's gone a bit shitty this time. The site doesn't have PayPal as an option for paying (which is another dodgy point for them), I think she paid using her bank card. I don't even know how she'd go about contacting RBS if she needed to contact the bank though, because they're about as useless at customer service as anybody.

@ nearly witches.
I always look up sites before I buy, and if anyone mentions it's a scam I never risk it. That makes them untrustworthy. Oooh, no paypal. That's always bad. But you'll have to go via the bank to get the money back then. I'm with Santander who I think have a good customer service, but I'd recommend maybe phoning them or popping into your local branch. I'm sure you can also report the site as a scam as well. I'm not sure how but I think you can

@ Mr. Darcy
So do I, but Rebecca's only just really had the money lately to start buying stuff online herself, so she's not as au fait with this stuff. Yeah, no PayPal is a massive no-no on my end. We've messaged them again anyway and we're going to give them a week or so to reply. I'm with the Royal Bank of Scotland and they're virtually useless. I might get her to pop in to speak to someone about it, they seem to be halfway decent in our local branch. I'm gonna look it up because they're ridiculous, the way they treat people. My sister's emailed off to them twice with no response, which is crazy.

@ nearly witches.
Sometimes you have to threaten them for companies to take your complaint seriously. Talk about getting the police involved because it's theft - they've taken your sister's money and haven't given her the product - so mention that you'll start legal proceedings and they might change their tune and reply to your emails.

If push comes to shove, take screenshots of the transaction, the dates, her emails and everything to do with it and take it to the police. Just because it's online doesn't mean it's legal

For those who write m-preg, where does the baby come out?

@ swell

I don't write mpregs, but most of the one that I read either utilized C-sections or just didn't go into detail.

Hello! If anybody could identify this bone for me I'd be very grateful. It was found along a shingle beach on the south coast of England.

@ Up in the Air.
Oh okay, thank you!

@ swell
I would like to add, that in some m-pregs that I've read, the baby had come out of the anus. They never actually specified how, but it happened.

@ Mr. Darcy
Jesus. Just got the worst image. Thank you for that visual

@ swell
No problem :)

On the other hand, I'm considering buying a Macbook Air. Does anyone have any reviews or notable comments? Is there anything that you really kik or dislike about it? Would it be worth it to save more to buy a regular Macbook?

What looks more aesthetically pleasing? Both spellings are variations of the word. Thanks ahead of time.

Wysteria Dreams or Wisteria Dreams

@ cannibal.
Wisteria Dreams looks better to me.

@ Up in the Air.
The MacBook Air does not have a CD drive or Ethernet port (but you can buy portable USB drives or adaptors instead).

@ cannibal.
Wysteria Dreams appeals to me more, especially in Italics, but I think it risks being pronounced as 'why-steria' instead of 'whis-teria'. I guess it really is a matter of personal preference.

@ cannibal.
Wisteria Dreams definitely looks better.

@ Divided

The CD drive thing sucks. Have you any experience with them? Or do you know how costly they are? But thank you :)
