Morning Andy.
R.I.P. rob's macbook pro. dead as a doornail.
that means a trip to Apple in Brum & bitting my tongue while some arrogant apple bod treats me like I am a nuisance.

 

[Andyk]

Oh God yes....They always speak to you like you don't understand a thing computers...................Hold on I don't.....

 

[reservoirfrog]

I was thrown out of the apple store in brum when we took the i-pod we bought for our daughter back cos it didn't work.
this snotty kid asked ros if she had an appointment. I asked him if he was f*cking serious. ...............OUT !!!!!

Morning Gents, Welcome to another rainy day in August. Ah the British Summer. Hope you get your Mac sorted Rob. Is it properly dead or is there still a heart-beat?

 

[reservoirfrog]

morning miles.
I hope its not dead. got an "appointment" with apple for thursday afternoon where they will probably tell me its water damage, should'nt have taken it into the bath, gone swimming with it or cleaned it with the jet wash.
its their stock answer.
what happened to the days when you could just walk in with something you bought and complain its stopped working.
the sale of goods act doesn't apply to apple apparently.

 

[Parisien]

Yup, if those little water ingress markers have changed colour........guilty as charged....

[Pibbow]

I would tell Apple to shove it "Appointment" are they for fuggung real. Bet you did not need an appointment to purchase the fugger AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

 

[Parisien]

Same old same old........no delays on the buying of an item over the phone.......but if a problem.....that will be £1 a min....just to wait for 20 mins...then a 10 minute reply to say theres nothing they can do!

[Andyk]

Morning Rob....HURRAY OFF WORK FOR NEARLY 3 WEEKS NOW...Great feeling...Morning all.

 

[reservoirfrog]

morning Andy
whats your plan for your holiday

 

[Andyk]

This week booked off for track day...Cleanng car Wedns track Thurs day and though may as well book Friday off.....Was already off then for 2 weeks...1st week day trips with family as son start school the following week so booked that of to help the beloved take him toscholl for the first week.....Thats going to a difficult week...It was bad enough taking him to nursery for the 1st time...

 

[reservoirfrog]

I feel for the little chap, I haven't been to school for nearly 40 years but I still get those " back to school " blues around this time every year.

 

[Andyk]

Back to school bad enough...But at 4 this is his first time......I think they you start at 6.....Although he is 5 in December some of the kids are young 4's and I must say if he was a young 4 he wouldn't be ready.

 

[reservoirfrog]

I think one of mine was 4 when he started. cant remember which one.............but I dont think it did them any harm, especially as they had been to play school & pre=school.

 

[Andyk]

Yep sure he will be fine...He really enjoys nursery....Rob, I think 'only can post in here up to 08:30 has been lost on some'...There will be a few pull throughs with a Christmas tree over due.

Franks in a different time zone, is'nt he an hour behind us.
