Trying very hard not to rant anymore but sometimes those with some pc ability tend to look down on the rest of us. Given that we can all do something better i find it a little condescending.
    Still managed not to rant though!!!

Ranters Anonymous have a six-point plan for getting through each day without 'losing it'.......doesn`t blinkin`well work for me though;` bunch of incompetent barstewards......`kin tossers!

But, maybe not a bitter one?

Although not quite as bad as that one, out Helpdesk gets call from similarly intellectually challenged customers who shouldn't be anywhere near a PC or anything remotely technical.

I'm hopeless with my computer, ca'nt send an email without being told a problems been encountered. I only surf on here my ebay acc. youtube etc. but i drive an artic for a living, get out from behind your desks & try it, you'll kill someone before you get lost (no sat nav) needed.
 Many of my jobs are collecting old machinery from manufacturing cos. that have gone bust because everything's cheaper abroad. These places will be levelled & yet another retail park with the same stores will be built on said site, another clone if you like. I do'nt work behind a desk, i'm actually out there seeing it first hand. Sorry all but this really riles me. At this rate we'll have nothing left except offices, plastic family carveries, & allied carpets etc.
        I'm nearly as bad as some of the posted examples computer wise, i'm NOT intellectually challenged ( managed a few O levels, RSA & LCC's) so if i'm being looked down on for not being computer literate then come out & say so & i'll leave you all to it.

Hey Guy........calm down and chill, no offence was intended. I think the whole point is that the people some of these helpdesks have to deal with are SUPPOSED to be reasonably clever and PC literate as it's their job to operate certain systems within their organisations. Nobody on here is impying that you're being looked down on because your not a PC expert.
It's no different if I were to climb in to an artic and attempt to drive it........you would probably be laughing your head off.
Please don't take it so seriously.....it was just a bit of light hearted stuff.

Hello Guppy. I tend to engage mouth before brain sometimes then look back & realize my mistake but hold my hands up. Whoops!.
   Bob. We all know you're a good natured bloke & meant no ill will with your post. We've met up a couple of times @ meets & look forward to doing so again mate.
    Closest i've got to a rant since i declared to stop getting a bee in my bonnet a while ago.
   My heart's in the right place but my gob lets me down!

(The WiFi router is in side our unit..., hence it supply's the WiFi to the site)

No worries, glad you are ok about it, you definately wouldn't want to see me to try and drive an artic!

Really pleased to see you haven't taken it to heart Guy. You're a bl00dy nice bloke yourself and look forward to seeing you at the next meet. Shame you can't make it to the Lakes though.

You're right here, though, mate. I cannot abide the cloned town centres that we have now with the same sh!t in every town and gawd knows what would happen if we, as a nation, had to look after ourselves these days. A nation full of people who specialise in pushing a mouse around a desk and selling fridges 'aint going to last too long.
