12:15.13 | boudiccas | dick_turpin, whats your wheeze about a home user then please? |
12:16.02 | dick_turpin | Would everyone like me to tell it with a Mark Shuttleworth slant? |
12:16.49 | boudiccas | tell it as it happened |
12:17.29 | dick_turpin | So this woman rings "Hello there have you got a power supply for my laptop?" |

12:19.27 | dick_turpin | < 3 or 4 minutes more of the same cut > |
12:19.42 | dick_turpin | Are you sure its the power supply? |

12:21.51 | *** join/#gllug DiscordianUK (n=ch@89.241.164.39) |
12:21.54 | dick_turpin | "You know seeing as this is still under warranty I could just pour a drink in it" |
12:22.18 | boudiccas | and as shes just told you that shes voided her warranty |
12:22.20 | dick_turpin | No all they'll do is fix the Laptop you'll still have a duff power supply |
12:22.59 | dick_turpin | "Could you sort this out" |
12:23.44 | dick_turpin | Er no we are just an office sorry :-/ |
12:24.45 | boudiccas | is that the end? i was enjoying that little anecdote |
12:25.57 | boudiccas | wonder what colour hair she'd got? |
12:26.14 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Listen my love a man can only take so much, I had no choice but to put the phone down it was that or continue ramming a phillips screwdriver in my left ear canal |
12:26.25 | boudiccas | lol |
12:27.20 | boudiccas | that was a good one |
12:28.27 | dick_turpin | Its pretty rare if I don't get at least one story per day, and then people wonder why I'm a miserable git |
12:29.58 | dick_turpin | For 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" |
12:30.10 | bilarh | dick_turpin: let's be honest, you're a miserable git because you're bald and fat |
12:30.32 | dick_turpin | OK just send it back with a sheet saying whats wrong you know what my memory is like |
12:31.53 | dick_turpin | So 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 |
12:31.57 | boudiccas | windows 7 comes out next week |
12:32.09 | boudiccas | lol |
12:32.20 | boudiccas | a real heavy user then |
12:32.32 | dick_turpin | bilarh: I working up to your level of being a complete and utter slob |
12:32.44 | bilarh | dick_turpin: :D |
12:32.55 | bilarh | you'll never better me at this, i tell you now :) |
12:32.58 | bilarh | i'm way ahead of you |
12:33.25 | dick_turpin | bilarh: you're second sighted aren't you? I was just gonna type that |
12:33.49 | boudiccas | nah, its the third eye he's got in the middle of his forehead |
12:34.01 | bilarh | the japs eye? :S |
12:34.15 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Na just yet another 'Cunning Stunt' (Think about it) who thinks they can get one over on dick_turpin |
12:34.52 | boudiccas | bilarh, nah, the one in the middle of the forehead, the one that you wear a patch over to hide it |
12:35.06 | boudiccas | dick_turpin, shades of kenny everett |
12:35.42 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: I thought I was the only one to remember that genius |
12:36.06 | DiscordianUK | there was a rock group called Caravan from Canterbury who had an album called Cunning Stunts |
12:36.17 | boudiccas | i'm just wondering about buying an 1tb external hard drive for £68.99 [inc vat] from novatech |
12:37.07 | boudiccas | hmm, have to cogitate on it for a bit |
12:38.38 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: Look on ebuyer.com or misco.co.uk get the WD Green 1TB one I've just bought one of them |
12:39.09 | boudiccas | is it an external drive? |
12:39.10 | dick_turpin | Think I paid £50 something |
12:39.23 | dick_turpin | A|h no sorry internal |
12:39.42 | dick_turpin | still look on ebuyer though |
12:51.19 | boudiccas | ebuyer seems more reasonable than misco who seem to be very expensive |
12:52.37 | boudiccas | i like the look of this from ebuyer ... Hitachi S1000U 1TB External Hard Drive Hi Speed USB |
12:52.37 | dick_turpin | boudiccas: what about xpansis xpansys I cant remember how its spelt |
12:53.00 | bilarh | expansys were always really expensive and never delivered on time |
12:56.27 | dick_turpin | bilarh: Fair enough I'm not all that well up on Joe Public suppliers :-( |
12:57.16 | bilarh | wtf, i'm broke again |
12:57.43 | bilarh | and 12 days to payday :( |
12:57.44 | dick_turpin | bilarh: You liar |
12:57.53 | boudiccas | expansys are pricey too. looks like it down to novatech and ebuyer then |
13:03.45 | boudiccas | and 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 |
13:11.32 | boudiccas | ah, fsck it, i cant be arsed with it |
13:12.01 | boudiccas | if they cant make things simple then they dont get my business |

14:55.37 | Mohan | mobile technology to the next level. |
14:56.14 | Ch0Hag | Or worse, it'll start to make sense and you'll end up reading the mail. |
15:01.34 | Mohan | but that looks really cool and promising |
15:02.28 | Ch0Hag | They should just project the image straight into your eye. |
15:03.24 | Mohan | I liked the one when the student came in front of him, it started giving his details |
15:03.25 | Ch0Hag | Cut out the middle-device. |
15:04.20 | Ch0Hag | Otherwise, very cool. |
15:05.29 | Ch0Hag | Glasses would do it. Most people wear glasses anyway. |
15:05.38 | Ch0Hag | In fact, hasn't that been done? Just without the internet connection. |
15:08.41 | Mohan | I'm not sure but could have appeared in a james bond movie. |
