"A" sound is "A" sound.
A tune is lots of 'em.
But, of course, the most important part of any tune is the silences -- in fact, it could be said that a tune is nothing more than a silence that is broken up by a succession, regular or otherwise, of sounds.
Actually, that's inaccurate, because I say that it could be said but I just said it so it has been said, so it has therefore gone beyond the realm of couldbesaiditude.

Hi All,
Had one those annoying phone call, you know the type, heavily accented english, telling you to use the run dialog box to go to open event viewer (and look in horror at all the yellow triangles, red crosses) a webpage and download a piece of software in trial mode(!). Getting rather upset when I said 'well no, thats a security risk', 'your internet will go down for two to three weeks!' 'why have bt not told us this before now or posted anything on there web site.' Click...

Last time I had that I asked them which computer they meant as I had four up and running at that moment... *click*

I did that once and the "support engineer from Microsoft" kept replying, "the one near you".

I ask them where event viewer is .. on my MacBook Pro

Y'all aren't very creative.
What you should do is pretend to follow the directions, and tell them a weird screen came up and that you'd like to send them a screen shot by email. If they acquiesce, send them the latest/greatest email attachment you received from an obvious scam attempt email (don't forget to rename it to "screenshot.zip" or some such thing).

I hope you don't mind my ftfy, but "loose" is an adjective. I think you meant the verb "lose"?

Ahh, yes, but I am suffering from food poisoning at the moment and have a high temp (or I did when typed that) Oh and I still have broad band.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, as long as you have broad band the world is all right! Not so?
Anyway I do hope you fully recovered from food poisoning. I've been there and done that. It's no fun!

Not fully yet, but the Temp has fallen

I treat it as a game to see how long I can drag it out for. Once they phone at tea time, so I told them to hang on as someone was just at the door.
When I went back to the phone about 30 mins later after tea they had hung up! How rude.

OT: but every time I hear or read 'How Rude' for some odd reason I think of Jar Jar Binks 'How Wude!' from Phantom Menace, I really need help!

I got a nice e-mail from the DVLA telling me they had posted me all the paper work by first class post and that I can expect them in 5-10 working days!
Yup, I think it would be quicker to walk the friggin Swansea, pick up the warms and walk home again! I tried really, really hard not to scream "THIS IS THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY YOU GODLESS WHORES!" 
I shall go out into the sun and take my special medicine now.

First they have to send someone down to the village to buy a stamp. That takes a while, as most sub post offices are friendly, chatty places and it can take an hour or so to get served - and another hour or two to get out afterwards. More if the kettle is on and there is tea brewing.
Then they have to find an envelope. That's difficult, as budget cuts mean they have to be fetched individually (and personally signed for to prevent theft) from the Stationary Cupboard, located in Central London.
Which means obtaining a travel permit, countersigned by the Post Master General. This entails submitting a Form 117/G(W) properly completed and approved by two Grade 7 or lower Civil Servants. Form 117/G(W) is available online from the government website[^] but onl;y on Tuesday and Thursday, unless there is a bribe in the offing.
It's not as simple as just "stuff it in the postbox" you know!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

5 to 10?!?! You are kidding...It seems they outsourced it to India or some other cheap place...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?

I could print it out myself and it would be faster for crying out loud... oh, wait...

I have also noted a slack in the delivery of items, but mines from Amazon. Previously it would normally arrive the next day (1-3 days estimated delivery), now its 5-10 for priority express.

That'll be the delivery people making unreasonable demands like weekends off again!
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
