That looks like one fuck of a lineup... probably extra effort on their part to get people to trust them again after the last debacle.

Keep in mind that it's on different dates so not all at once.
If anyone is willing to touch them with a barge pole that is, going by the facebook comments not many are lol.
What happened last time?
Howcome? drugs/violence? And did people get refunds? Woulda thought they'd be better prepared

She offered a £7 refund before I even mentioned anything, which isn't bad considering I'm only paying £36 a month for phoneline and 120mb broadband.
My sis gave me an extra contract phone sim she had spare the other day, and it's got 500mb of data per month so I should hopefully be able to use that to browse on by tethering it to my laptop via my old phone
Can't do any downloading though *sob* ... new episodes of Legit, Suits and Vampire Diaries out this morning too![]()
Currently scheming ways to keep using Nerdboy's phone/tether until he gets so pissed off he'll just sort my phone and sim so I don't have to. He'll only end up sorting it out when I fuck it up anyway so ...
EDIT I feel fucking AMAZING today. I can't say it's not because of drugs, because it is, but fuck it it's not often I feel like superman so I'm going to enjoy it :D Flat is getting cleaned and then I'm going to do something creative with a computer.
Good stuff, what drugs? Switch your damn notifications off so you get some untroubled headspace!
I don't know about coming to; I suspect he's probably not slept, missed his train back and believes he's bought the Eiffel Tower from a gang of shady street dealers.
I partly mended an apple hifi last night (fucking wicked thing, Apple were fools for stopping making them, was given it a few years ago, the dock's been broken for years but it's workable now and a more durable fix will be coming soon). Also last weekend I took a big step and fixed my drumtraks (lovely old drum machine). One very frequently used button was buggered through, er, frequent use, and I desoldered a button which is never used (tape load...) and swapped them over and it works like a charm. It's odd, my soldering was shit a few years ago and I stopped, but as soon as I picked up the iron this time round I'd somehow become really good at it, by not doing it for ages. 8(
I'm mainly good cheers. I too am rushing with adrenaline because I've drunk a lot of coffee and after over a year of frigging about and back and forth with someone who owes me money have finally outlined my proposal for a solution which will fix it, bring me some dough and strip away their bullshit and my own paranoia and overthinking surrounding it. It's a good feeling. Obviously I have to await their response but right now I have that lovely clear feeling that can only come of knowing you've acted right by yourself and lanced a long-festering boil.
The power switch is a tiny surface mount microswitch and it's a bastard to get to with a soldering iron. I've not worked out how I'm going to do it yet, I was thinking about heating a pin with a blowtorch and using that as the soldering iron. Any tips? (the finer the better, yuk yuk).
Maybe if you got a long pin or similarly strong piece of wire you could fashion an extension to your soldering iron tip? Perhaps making a ring out of one end of it (hence the need for length) so that it will kind of clip onto the tip of the iron and stay hot? You might be able to do it with a safety pin, come to think of it. Probably not worth trying if you have even vestigial stim hand shake.
but will he be able to keep a pizza in it, that the question. Or being in Paris, a crepe.
brimz speaks a lot of wise words in an understated way, I imagine its easy for those who would benefit most from his advice to skim over it. brimz is pretty wise full stop.
Maybe mugz will settle in paris and never come home. He'll be an illegal alien.
