Sorry, been offline a couple of days - touched that anyone noticed.
Had i bit of that sickness bug going around last week, which developed into man-flu. Just got a bad cold now

My HP laptop had to go to Poland middle of last week for repair, and my old Tosh (the one thats been dropped, kicked, fallen in bath, etc) didn't want to play. My desktop smokes after about 10mins, so that leaves me using her laptop whenever she isn't. So any 'PC' time was limited.
However, it is this particular braindead, incompitent, useless, pointless, ugly, idiotish prick:

that has kept me away - I'd love to write the pathetic moron a bill for the work he has caused me in the last 10 days, and the work it will cause me next year when VAT reverts (or increases beyond) 17.5%. And for what? Will £1 off a £50 item make a blind bit of difference to spending habits? No, of course it won't, which is why most manufacturers/suppliers/wholesalers are not adjusting SRP/RRP/CRP. Only a tiny minority are, so I can't even blat the databases with a 2.1% pricedrop.
Still, good to be back for a few mins
