Many of you here are "Grumpy old men" too.  And not all of you are "old" or even actually "men".  

Just cos I`m half Ewok, there`s no need to get personal..

I always find shopping in those stupid homogenous retail parks turns me into a grumpy old man.
 Especially B&Q or Homebase, but especially in PC World  :pissed:
 Why don`t they put printer cables near the {bleep}ing printers instead of the other side of the shop next to the gel  filled mousepads?
 Need paper? better check near the stack of PSU`s cos staff there would never think to put them anywhere close to other related products.. :pissed:

 Then the bloody annoying staff that know pretty much sod all about the stuff they sell....
 I managed to waste over an hour asking if a CD-Rom drive was IDE or SCSI, cos the box didn`t say..and they wouldn`t let me open the box to find out. 6 blooming sales people  couldn`t help, the best answer I got was "erm, well, it plugs inside your computer"  :destroy:
 Shame they wouldn`t let me demonstrate what I could do with a 400W PSU and some crocodile clips... :evilgrin:
On schedule, and suing

:lol:

You'd have to ask them where they keep their crocodile clips first :-P


Already got that one covered.. 6" nails make excellent wire wrap terminals  :-o  
 And before you ask, go next door to Homebase, and you`ll find them between the hedgetrimmers and the shower curtains..unless it`s a Wednesday when they rearrange the entire store again just in case anyone could actually find something without resorting to using GPS. :pissed:
