SuperEngineerChunkzZ, if you're 18+ champagne is the answer... freeze it in your room, drink it... *you* will no longer feel the cold!14:21

penguin42M&S really needs to fix their systems; I do a click-n-collect on a sale item, then get a phone call saying it's going to be a day late; go into a store, find the same thing on the shelf and it's a hastle to try and just say give me that instead17:28
zmoylan-piyou can't argue with the system, it's always /right/17:37
penguin42eventually they owned up they could let me buy them again and they'd do the cancel tomorrow and give me a slip to say they will; whether I believe them is a different matter, what a broken system17:38
zmoylan-pithey're luring you into a trap so that they can arrest you as a shop lifter as you leave :-P17:38
penguin42haha17:39
zmoylan-pithen they give you another slip so that you can come in at your convenience for the body cavity search...17:40
zmoylan-piit's all about the personal touch... :-)17:41
* penguin42 doesn't want that type of personal touch17:41
zmoylan-pidoesn't matter wether you want it or not, you have a slip that needs to be countersigned...17:42
* penguin42 gulps17:42
ChunkzZSuperEngineer, found paste an sauce in my cupboard. microwaveable! epic win! :D18:10
penguin42paste vs pasta?18:17
zmoylan-pimight be a poor student living off ketchup packets... :-)18:18
penguin42it's really difficult to give away a part used packet of pasta; I was at a business meeting at the start of the month where I stayed in an apartment for the night and just bought some pasta in a supermarket and tried to give the remains away to my colleagues, very hard18:19
ChunkzZoh, sorry. was typing too fast! :(18:23
DJonesArgghhh. Don't you just hate it when you've spent 6 hours making conversation with somebody at a christmas family get together and in the last few minutes they drop into the conversation that they used to work at Bletchley Park19:27
zmoylan-piduring wwii? or now as touristy place?19:28
zmoylan-pii heard at an aunts funeral that she had corresponded with gb shaw who's a hero of mine...19:29
DJonesJust after WW 219:30
zmoylan-pineato19:31
zmoylan-piprobably used bits of collosus as paper weights :-)19:31
DJonesNext time I see him, I ll have to ask him abiout Alan Turing19:37
zmoylan-pithough it was a big place with a *LOT* of people19:37
DJonesTrue, but the well known names will be known19:38
DJonesOh,  and can somebody please shoot the Dr Who scriptwriters for the current series....It was aweful19:39
zmoylan-pifull of awe or awful?19:39
zmoylan-pi:-)19:40
DJonesHeh, full of something, probably most likely from the back endd of cow19:40
DJonesI know a lot of people don't like Capaldi as the doctor because he's older, but thats not it for me, just the scripts have no passion or "get up & go"19:42
* penguin42 watched the first Capaldi one - not watched Dr Who in ages - I like him, don't like the scripts19:43
zmoylan-pithe scripts are more kiddie scifi with more emphasis on fantasty on the few episodes i saw since reboot.  ok but nothing to write home about19:43
DJonespenguin42: My thoughts exactly19:43

MyrttiI wonder if I'm having a problem with the new laptops Haswell wifi.20:57
Myrttiatleast the symptoms match, but this should be fixed with the new kernel in Utopic20:57
MyrttiI'd thought20:57
zmoylan-pitry a different distro on usb drive to see if problem persists?20:58
Azelphurhehe, I had a hilarious conversation with Amazon live chat21:48
Azelphur"that king size bed I just bought, are you delivering it to inside the home, or outside?" "outside" "ok when are you delivering it so I can arrange to have someone help me on the day" "some time between the 12th and the 15th" "...maybe you aren't understanding, I live alone...do you expect me to carry a king size bed across my apartment complex by myself?" *2 minutes on hold* "Oh...we'll deliver it to your home"21:50
AzelphurxD21:50
zmoylan-piyou don't have log rollers and a team of lads on standby 24x7?? :-)21:52
Azelphurexactly, hahaha21:52
zmoylan-piwhen i got my first computer my brothers girlfriends offered me an old table as a desk for it.  i just had to transport it 2 miles by myself.21:53
zmoylan-piso on a hot sunny day i walked there, and found it was an expanding table with extending section builtin.  weighed a LOT.  so carried it on my back home walking bent double, downhill thankfully.21:54
zmoylan-piby the time i got home you could take my pulse just by looking at veins in my forehead21:55
zmoylan-pithen had to carry it up 3 flights of stairs to my bedroom...21:55
Azelphurhaha ouch21:55
zmoylan-pito find that 1 leg was 1" too long to fit in room....21:55
zmoylan-pii tried every permutation to get that table in.  so cut off 2" of one leg, glued it back on after i got it in.  did a really good job to confuse the person who decides to remove that table to make them wonder how i got it in21:56
zmoylan-pibut after all that effort there was NO WAY it wasn't going in21:57
Azelphurhehe22:02
Azelphurzmoylan-pi: it's gonna be fun fitting a king size into the smallest bedroom in my place22:02
zmoylan-piremember to put a few litres of water in fridge so that you have something to help cool you down afterwards, that's what works for me22:03
Azelphurnah, I'll have someone come over and help me do it once its in22:04
zmoylan-piah the sensible approach, we'll be having none of that now!! :-)22:04
Azelphurhehe22:06
