I sooo love John Lewis - they are the nation's finest example of responsible capatalism and the CEO has his pay capped at ?500,000 compared to M&S's ?15 million package. Staff have even told me products to buy that they don't sell if they think they are the best for the customer. Investment bankers take note society has wised up to the greedy parasites you really are and the damage you have done.

Roll over, Godwin's Law!! We have a new topic which has become inevitable for any thread over 10 posts long.

I didn't know I build computers in my mum's bedroom. Stragely enough I left home from the age of 18.


And as for your willy waving it seems the banks have too much money than sense. No wonder this country is in ruin.


With the virtual IT system does this mean people's money will disappear into virtual accounts?

@acm, what ever.


If you were polically aware, which no doubt you're not, there was a talk involving Michael Portillo and one other politician a couple of weeks ago about fears by people losing money in various banking transactions or money disappearing from bank accounts in relation to the banking crisis.


I've worked with consultants before so I'm afraid I see consultants are nothing special and overpaid. You can wave your willy as much as you want but it is likely to get chopped off here.


Please stay on this thread as I'm sure some people are too happy to buy low spec office PC. It doesn't bother me the slightest.

WHAT A W@NKER


Still, it's made the buying of a crappy ol' desk-top PC way funnier.

Poor old Otta only wants to go to John lewis, wave his vouchers & get outta there.


I can't imagine that kind of talk from the Mac crowd.


Oh no, we rub our neatly trimmed facial hair and marvel at the sheer joy of ownership.


I suggest you join us, step away from them there arses Otta.



You're far too good for them and you know it.



NETTE:)

As with any other music fan (because there is rhythm in circuit boards) I used to be a fan of Apple until they became popular with people I considered to be less discerning.


At that point the only viable route is categoric rejection. See those people outside the Apple Store? They're all listening to the Lighthouse Family.

THe Lighthouse Family is what I term as commercial music.


Like I said before, Apple products uses quality components but they come with an added premium on top. The Iphone cost ?200 to make but retails for ?700. That is a huge profit margin for Apple. For me, the Apple brand has lost its coolness quite some time ago and now appeals to the don't know any better crowd.


With virtualisation you could run Apple software on a PC machine.


@acm,I've became aware of virtualisation a few years ago and am planning to use it in he next few months to play around with Linux and to increase my PC security.

Mac slaves buying macs made by slaves - it's only a bloody phone

I've been put off them *holds nose* P.C's for some time.


I had an office in Crystal Palace, dozen work stations, server blah blah blah


We moved 3 times, new machines, top spec, future proofing blah blah blah


Changed companies, consultants, technology blah blah blah


For the love of God, i'd rather have driven nails into my eyeballs in retrospect.


Sold the company.


And changed to working in other studios & companies mostly decked out in Mac's as the design business seems to be.


I'd rather retire than go back to all that grief, forget the money, there's more to life than a few hundred quid & chasing round after some "fix it all" programme/warrranty


All this P.C assembly is like student cooking, chuck this & that in &...


"Hey presto, I'm full up now "


As for being a certificated blah blah whatever, they're as slave to that way of thinking & as brainwashed as any mac user they flick that accusation at. They just charge you for the honour.


Horses for courses, just don't spend your money unwittingly on a 3 legged nag.


( extra legs available as an upgrade )


Nette:-S

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
