What I love is the way they all stink of Lynx ~ as if they have bathed in it. Took the THW in there once, just to find out if what the boys obviously believed from the adverts for Lynx was true. She turned a sort of greenish colour and asked me what I thought they cleaned the place with that could cause such a stench  lol:


Ah to be young again ~ in our youth is was carbolic soap for weekdays and Lifeboy on Saturday before you went to the dance. Progressed onto Old Spice but soon learned better.
And a good dob of Brylcream!  lol:

Spotted youths with wide smirks, managers who look like they might be old enough to vote, crowds of elderly people wandering around looking dazed ~ that the place?
To a 'T'...

Enter PC World with my on-line receipt...
Go up to the 'Order on line and collect desk'
Woman on 'Order on line and collect desk' wanders off with a disinterested look
Wait...
After several minutes the security bloke asks if he can help
(resist sarcastic comment)
Hand over on line receipt thingy
Ah yes, here it is here (hands over small 'Dell' box)
No it isn't... a) it is red and I ordered blue... b) there is never a 19" monitor in that box
(Lots of staff scuttling around)
Eventually they find the right three boxes
Spotty youth "You know there isn't any virus protection wiv this doncha"
Yes, I do know that and I don't want any
Spotty youth "You know there isn't any warranty wiv this doncha"
What, not even a manufactures warranty?
Spotty youth "um..... yes but no insurance"
I don't want it
Spotty youth "An this display is fragile like"
I don't want it (glares)
Spotty youth then tries to find the order on the computer but can't...
Spotty youth #2 "search on the user name"
Time passes slowly but they can't find it...
Spotty youth "You'll have to give me your details again"
Eventually all is completed and I just have to enter my PIN but Lo! They've charged me 99p too much!
Spotty youth starts all over again
Enter PIN then handed boxes which have to be 'checked-out' by the security guard who is sitting two meters away...

Well, that saved a lot of time then...  noooo:

However, it was worth it just to see the look on spotty youths face when he realised what a bollocking he was going to get for not selling overpriced virus software or insurance!  point:
I've just configured it...

Of course it did have a full copy of McAffee or whatever pre-installed... lying little bastards!  cussing:

They all come with that ~ it asks you to pay for an upgrade the minute it turns on then reminds you daily that it is only there for a limited time and you will then have to pay to re-licence it. Throw it out straight away and get in AVG is my solution.

To say that he lied is to imply he knew the truth in the first place. They know nothing. So still bastards  cussing:

At home catching up with Nigella on the iplayer. Sore throat and a temperature spike last night have left me falling rather drained.
