AFAIK, they did no mods to engine, most mods were based around styling (bodykits, wheels, interio styling etc) and suspension.

And another group of people to add.  One of our offshored helpdesks, just because their working day corresponds to our evening, think its perfectly OK to phone me at all hours about the most pathetic stuff that could wait until the morning  

Just logged on to work, and undiverted my desk phone

Right, another name to add to the list. Epson. Pillocks.  No effing x64 driver for my printer, which means the server can no longer talk to it, which means I can't share it out  

And its a easy peasy job to recompile for x64, and a tweak to INF file, but the lazy buggers won't.  Their advice? Bin it. I'll shove it up their friggin chuff in a minute

Well, im 29 , when i was 18 i was an idiot, always fighting and so forth. Now, the stress of own business and 2 kids (1 of which is a right swine, lol) im calmer but still irate sometimes.

So hopefully when im 40 i should be a saint!

 8-)

I'm 41 but still no saint..Try not to be ...Means you start loosing your hormones..And increase in weight    

but anyway the reality is with age you start reading peoples faces and styles..

Agreed, you become wiser, and can (usually ) argue in a less confrontational way.

Yeah i agree , some people have worse empers than others.

 Ive always had a fiery temper , better now than i used to be so hopefully in a few years should be as relaxed as a valium addict. Hey , the regulars might even start to speak to me again by then, lol

Matt  

I've calmed as I've got older...

Its just the odd ones. You should take a leaf out of my book and never get angry !  

LOL

As a rule, I never do in such situations - losing temper is admission that you lose the debate in my book.

In the case of Dell, I didn't lose my rag, but the idiot had nowhere to go, so he just had to accept a 35 minute dressing down from me. Poor sod. I think he was nearly in tears

In the case of O2, tossers, she stonewalled, wouldn't deal with my query, would transfer, wouldn't let me cancel, wouldn't let me talk to supervisor. I swore at her, and immediately lost the argument. Not my finest hour  .  However, the number of heads that appeared about the partitions (large open plan office) like little chads, showed that I still had the ability to shock the people in the office

Its because we are being taken over by big companies. If it was a one man band it would be much better service.
In their minds , they dont care if they piss off 100 people , as they would have already got another 1000 on board probably. Very sad but true!

In fairness to both companies, a little perserverence, and I ended up dealing with people who seemed to care, and both resolved my issues (one way or another).

Dell. 3 times they promised a hardware swapout on Monday. So I stayed at home. Never turned up  

O2. Stupid bloody woman, simply because I couldn't quote my last statement (despite answering about 5 other questions right, she wouldn't talk to me, or get a supervisor call me, or let me cancel.  I firmly suggested where she could stick my phone  


As my collegue (who has witnessed my tantrums with various companies this week) said, you have to expect poor service, and if they do what you want, treat it as a bonus.

.....Well thats what it says on my signature running along the bottom of my page  

So lets see, i know for a fact that i didn't put that there so it leads me to believe that someone has been playing   however i think it is time to change it as i'm not particularly fond of it. I have decided to keep the first part of it and i am open to suggestions for the second part. So here goes, your imput would be greatly appreciated  


[size=36] THE BOY IS..... :question[/size]

Blimey, you only just noticed?  So long ago, I'd fogotten I'd done it.  IIRC, it was when I made you spend the evening with your Missus weeks ago
