It's a crime that we live so close and don't spend more time there. [10:03] we're there for a week next week :D father in law has a van just outside bakewell :) result [10:04] JamesTait, MooDoo: I like most tarts but bakewells are the best :) [10:05] davmor2: hehe :D can't beat a good bakewell tart, well you can but the police frown upon it ;) [10:06] MooDoo: is that not still a capital punishable crime [10:07] davmor2: depends how the csi find the jam splatter ;) [10:08] this man seems to eaten the evidence of his crime [10:10] hehe :) [10:11] JamesTait, MooDoo: the camping and caravanning club site there is nice but it is a pain in the arse to get too :) [10:24] davmor2: JamesTait I'm here - http://www.greenhillsholidaypark.co.uk/ [10:27] MooDoo: their website is wrong In the heart of the Peak Nation Park? Surely it is the Peak District National Park.....I Know what you're going to say "You're right but don't call me Shirley" [10:27] how can you not love views like that? [10:28] davmor2: JamesTait I love it, that's why we're there every other weekend and staying there for the week :D [10:32] http://www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/campsites/uk/shropshire/shrewsbury/eburyhill?rmsrc=1&_$ja=tsid:60648|cid:96123860|agid:14893459820|tid:kwd-29210479951|crid:80546559980|nw:g|rnd:2605288901638362773|dvc:c|adp:1t1&gclid=CJv25dibw84CFQ26GwodVl0FTg this is what I have to put up with at the weekend oh it is such a suffering ;) [10:33] mostly cause I only get 20gig on my mifi ;) [13:20] anyone seen this "a message to our UKTI customers": http://www.sage.co.uk/ [13:21] diddledan: nope [13:21] UKI [13:21] scary stuff considering the number of companies that use sage stuffs [13:22] maybe a disgruntled ex employee [13:22] are there are gruntled ones? :-P [13:22] *there any [13:22] * diddledan gunts [13:22] grunts* [13:39] you know that feeling when you're tasked with getting other folks to do a job, but they never call back or turn up so you might as well do it yourself? :| [13:40] i think i know so much about computing as i got sick of waiting for other people to get back to me... [13:40] :D [13:41] this is still that wonky TV situation up at my clients, looks like i'm just gonna buy an RF amplifier myself and get it done [13:42] bbl o/ [13:42] o/ [14:17] diddledan it was on bbc news website yesterday [14:17] i didn't read it cos i don't use sage [14:18] ali1234: yeah I heard it on radio2 [14:26] Wow, I'm having fun today [14:27] bought some used parts from a gaming lounge I frequent, they told me I was buying a Mini-ITX board with a broken CPU in it, a power supply, a LED controller + LEDs, a Kraken X40 CPU cooler, bluray drive for £150 [14:28] Turns out I bought a working CPU, broken motherboard, LED controller with missing power cable, and kraken X40 with missing backplate threaded screws so I can't attach it to the board [14:28] and they are refusing refund claiming "I bought what was in the box" - tempted to call the police in [14:29] * zmoylan-pi now imagines a very bored very non technical police officer getting a lecture in pc gubbins... :-) [14:30] fun times [14:31] Azelphur: did you have it from ebay? [14:31] or amazon [14:31] if so speak to them [14:31] davmor2: no, I bought it all in a brick & mortar store [14:31] doesn't paying for it with a credit card in uk give automatic protections? [14:31] paid in cash :( [14:31] ah.... [14:33] i _think_ they would be required to have a sign saying the item was on a sale of some sort not to be able to refund... [14:46] zmoylan-pi: https://Ǣ.cc/f-p that seems to be the answer. [16:19] Azelphur: you really ought to stop taking stupid risks with purchases if you don't want to get burnt [16:19] kinda how it goes... [16:20] daftykins: buying stuff from a brick&mortar store is what most people define as not risky :( [16:20] right with broken parts from the word go XD [16:20] daftykins: they assured me they had taken it down to CEX and had CEX test everything [16:21] lol [16:21] which only makes the story worse, I went to CEX and spoke to them about it this morning [16:21] a mate was telling me that CEX just get their staff to take things home and have a play [16:21] they assured me that they don't have, nor have they ever had, the facilities to test broken computer parts in that store, and that at current they simply do not purchase those parts and refer people over to the Ramsgate branch. [16:22] still, these situations seem to follow you a fair chunk [16:23] I know, I get all the luck :) [16:23] I think tbh part of it is that I just buy more computer kit than the average bear, I've seen some hilarious stuff even from places you would think are reputable [16:24] well if your average haul is asking for dodgy bits they're unsure of, heh ;D [16:24] lol [16:24] still amazed you were going to go non-SSD, would've thought you'd picked up on that one by now! [16:24] daftykins: on a cheap build it saves £50 for now :) [16:24] can always add one later. [16:26] * Seeker` remembers when Azelphur couldn't own an Arduino without frying it [16:26] XD [16:26] Seeker`: I didn't kill the arduino :D it was a software issue [16:26] that's what they always say! [16:26] I still have that Arduino, used it last month actually [16:26] store was cool about it though [16:28] but I admit recently I am pretty down on my luck with scammy people/businesses [16:30] aaah ordered an 8-way aerial splitter box for a client just before, that should sort out his inability to control the one sky box in his house from the rest of the place :P [16:30] seems like turning on his Marantz AVR no longer makes the freeview drop out, too! [16:30] yay for things that fix themselves o0 [16:53] AVR? [16:54] audio video receiver [16:54] so amplifier + HDMI inputs and outputs [16:54] aah [16:55] was just googling to work it out [16:55] I got to "Aboriginal Voices Radio, an Aboriginal Canadian national radio network" [16:56] seems legit [16:57] "Atmel AVR, a family of microcontrollers" was pretty high on teh googs, too [16:59] it's a common term in HTPC circles but yeah... looks like not common enough! [17:18] * pavlushka waves to Knightmare [22:04] 1 2 3 [22:45] old girl bought me this t-shirt the other day o0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/6jae95ed96deu1p/IMG_20160815_234241.jpg?dl=0 [23:00] aw [23:00] now i feel like i have to watch some :D [23:14] i still have a dangermouse pencil in my stationary box...
