12:27.20boudiccasthat was a good one
12:28.27dick_turpinIts pretty rare if I don't get at least one story per day, and then people wonder why I'm a miserable git
12:29.58dick_turpinFor example I have a Blue Samsung NC10 sat next to me, its a return, "Hi you know the last batch of NC10's we had?" "One of them the screens blown"
12:30.10bilarhdick_turpin: let's be honest, you're a miserable git because you're bald and fat
12:30.32dick_turpinOK just send it back with a sheet saying whats wrong you know what my memory is like
12:31.53dick_turpinSo it comes in today and sure enough the screen is up the creek, what they don't tell me is Mr Sledge hammer has obviously been dancing on the keyboard given the amount of keys missing

12:34.15dick_turpinboudiccas: Na just yet another 'Cunning Stunt' (Think about it) who thinks they can get one over on dick_turpin
12:34.52boudiccasbilarh, nah, the one in the middle of the forehead, the one that you wear a patch over to hide it
12:35.06boudiccasdick_turpin, shades of kenny everett
12:35.42dick_turpinboudiccas: I thought I was the only one to remember that genius
12:36.06DiscordianUKthere was a rock group called Caravan from Canterbury who had an album called Cunning Stunts
12:36.17boudiccasi'm just wondering about buying an 1tb external hard drive for £68.99 [inc vat] from novatech
12:37.07boudiccashmm, have to cogitate on it for a bit
12:38.38dick_turpinboudiccas: Look on ebuyer.com or misco.co.uk get the WD Green 1TB one I've just bought one of them
12:39.09boudiccasis it an external drive?
12:39.10dick_turpinThink I paid £50 something
12:39.23dick_turpinA|h no sorry internal
12:39.42dick_turpinstill look on ebuyer though
12:51.19boudiccasebuyer seems more reasonable than misco who seem to be very expensive
12:52.37boudiccasi like the look of this from ebuyer ... Hitachi S1000U 1TB External Hard Drive Hi Speed USB
12:52.37dick_turpinboudiccas: what about xpansis xpansys I cant remember how its spelt
12:53.00bilarhexpansys were always really expensive and never delivered on time
12:56.27dick_turpinbilarh: Fair enough I'm not all that well up on Joe Public suppliers :-(
12:57.16bilarhwtf, i'm broke again
12:57.43bilarhand 12 days to payday :(
12:57.44dick_turpinbilarh: You liar
12:57.53boudiccasexpansys are pricey too. looks like it down to novatech and ebuyer then
13:03.45boudiccasand reading the reviews and reviewing the price it looks like ebuyer is the one to go for. especially as they'll deliver it tomorrow for free
13:11.32boudiccasah, fsck it, i cant be arsed with it
13:12.01boudiccasif they cant make things simple then they dont get my business

14:56.14Ch0HagOr worse, it'll start to make sense and you'll end up reading the mail.
15:01.34Mohanbut that looks really cool and promising
15:02.28Ch0HagThey should just project the image straight into your eye.
15:03.24MohanI liked the one when the student came in front of him, it started giving his details
15:03.25Ch0HagCut out the middle-device.
15:04.20Ch0HagOtherwise, very cool.
15:05.29Ch0HagGlasses would do it. Most people wear glasses anyway.
15:05.38Ch0HagIn fact, hasn't that been done? Just without the internet connection.
15:08.41MohanI'm not sure but could have appeared in a james bond movie.
