It was good seeing Sade. As a wee anecdote a mate of mine died 6 years ago and not long after I was watching a tv show of classic 80’s music videos and the video for Smooth Operator came on and bugger me, he’s in the video as one of the shady dudes in the nightclub, I’d known the guy 30 years and he’d never mentioned it. Turns out the director knew him through mutual friends and was looking for interesting people for the video and my mate was Armenian and tended to dress like someone from the past so got him in it. Cool looking dude in the shades in this screenshot. Quote

Tazio Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Spent ages today wrestling with a new piece of software that’s pretty necessary for recording annual electrical testing. Had all the tests done and just had to transfer the results that should auto-generate the database and more. Couldn’t get the lump of shite to do what I wanted and thought at one point I’d have to redo all the tests as I’d missed something. Two days worth of them. Cracked what the issue was ten minutes before knocking off work. Ridiculously obvious but the software uses such unintuitive language it eluded two of us. Glad it works as it would have annoyed me all night and I would have obsessed over trying to get a solution. Quote

Tazio Posted January 11 Posted January 11 52 minutes ago, il Duce McTarkin said: Unintuitive software will be the end of me. Yep. Did all the tests, uploaded the files from the tester to the PC, then imported them into the software. You see all the files but it wouldn’t keep them when you closed it. Turns out once you put them in you had to click a button that said ‘create files’. But I’d already created the files you electronic arsehole! Quote

Tazio Posted February 11 Posted February 11 Phoned Virgin with a complaint about compensation for lost service months ago. Then somehow got all I asked for plus extra and got my 50% discounted deal extended by another 18 months with a cheaper price. Miracles happen after all. Quote

Trying to renew our Virgin deal, currently paying £93/month for full package, 1gb, sky sports, cinema, Netflix, 2 boxes, etc. Cheapest I can get them down to is £124, for the same package, which I feel is a bit excessive.

I was paying £99 and they offered me the same 18 month contract for £96. Package the same as yours but only one box. Quote
