The 10th UK South-East "Don't Forget Your Geiger Counter" Gossip Thread (All Welcome)

Bugger...anyone else watching the cricket?

I am, silly edge by Strauss, he half played it..... at least we seem to be getting some runs at least now

I had feared such an early wicket, still, as long as that is the only one we lose today I won't be too unhappy...

They did say they were aiming fro Strauss before the match. Shame

Rob - You'll be able to test it out at Syon House ... tickets went into the post to you today ... nice kit mate!!!

And yes come on ... it's ONLY a 5DmkII

Cheers Claire - im certainly a lucky and happy boy. Syon House will be its first major outing. Not sure how much camera time i will get though as I will be with Holly and i doubt she will want to wait around for lots of long exposures.

Get the 5DII Matt - its perfect for you!

That was close.........

Too close!

Don't they cannot be as bad as DSGI, I phoned them yesterday complaining they did not deliver my laptop the previous day when they said they would in the evening which is what I paid extra for. Spoke to a lady who said it would be delivered around midday ( Tuesday ), told her it needs to be in the evening as per the original request. She said she would cancel the delivery for Tuesday but would resend it for today, I told her I would not get in before 5:30 she said that would be okay.

Today got a text stating it would arrive between 3 and 4, phone them up..and had a go, they said evenings was only as a preference. By now had enough so phoned PC World to cancel the order and have a go...what is the point in offering an evening delivery time if the courier refuse to do it. They persuaded me to give it one more go and would rearrange it for Saturday morning.

Phoned Kris to let her know the latest saga and she said she finished early and the laptop had arrived. First thing the delivery man said and kept repeating was " you are not meant to be in why did you say you would not be in when you are " WTF surely he should be glad she was in!!

Box was so battered I took some pictures before I opened it but it seems to be working ok .....runs photoshop and LR simultaneously like a dream and posting from it now

If he wasn't expecting you to be in why try to deliver it? Think your self lucky though a guy at work bought a new tv on the web paid extra for a saturday delivery they stuck a card through his door tuesday, he phoned the courier's up and said he had paid extra for a saturday delivery and that's when he wanted it delivered only to be told they don't work saturdays. He phoned the people he bought the tv from up asking for the extra to be refunded only to be told to take it up with the courier as it wasn't their problem.
