“Have you seen that email?”
“When was it sent?”
“About 10 seconds ago.”

That’s the kind of boss I have now.

Not for me. Not for me.

Great:

Also the support number they give on their contact page doesn’t work!

UPDATE: this number did work in the end. Thanks Smog for the reminder!

My new iPhone 3GS has issues. I think. The screen goes very dark every now and then (auto-brightness is not on BTW), the screen is very yellow and the camera just sucks – grainy, dark, out of focus. It simply cannot be this bad so it has to be an issue!

Spike is ranting about service and mentioned Trafalgar, which reminded me.

We popped in there the other Saturday to check it out and snap: appalling service. The bar wasn’t busy inside and even though most of the tables outside were full I still don’t really expect to have to wait about 15 minutes for four drinks. And then they got the order wrong! Another mate skipped the waitress service, went inside, and managed to get a couple of drinks in before ours arrived.

They did give us some free chicken wings to compensate, but I won’t be going back in a hurry.

When we left I couldn’t get out of my seat due to an electricity cable caught up in my chair legs and then I fell down the step that wasn’t sign-posted! OK … I may have had a drink or two by this time!

Gunther wanted to demand they give us our ensign back.

I am turning into an interface nerd.

This annoys me. The unnecessary quotation marks.

Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon with pictures of FMPMSPD’s cans, my extracted wisdom teeth and recordings of me revving the tits off my car.

More iPhone interface geekery. When uploading to MobileMe: “About 1 Minutes Remaining”.

Plurals. Capitals. Grinds. My. Gears.

You may have heard about Christian Bale’s freak out on the Terminator set? Well they got the audio. Don’t listen if you are offended by swearing.

Well, check out the remix!
