I have a Wave and I like it a lot but the problem is this is the 3rd one I've had, they only last about 2 years.

There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

. . . and it's the lounge.
Well - there's a lot of creepy people who might mistake the red stripes on a tabby for their next pan-fried meal.

If you are what you eat and cats only eat cat food, and what makes up the cat food chain eventually only ate vegetables, then it should be OK for you. Bacon, on the other hand... hmm.

The key to it all is "IF" - for it (should be) often said:

Something I hate I now hate even more.
The idiots that set up these systems try to make them seem so friendly and concerned.
"I'm so sorry. I didn't . . . Let's try again. OK, let's try it another way"
It's an elephanting computer. Just request data and accept input. Don't double the length of each step (if your lucky, only double) to attempt to make it seem human. Hire someone (who does not reside in a call center in Indian) to seem human.
So damn stupid. Annoying. Aggravating. Who wants to be patronized by a machine.
Background: called number posted by website to get my uid, as I wasn't able to log into CVS/CareMark online pharmacy. Phone b1tch-machine offers menu after menu, none remotely relevant. Then, when it finally says it will get a representative it starts into a new loop. Ultimately, pressing '0' about twenty times annoyed the PC enough to put me through to a people: who says their systems are being maintained and they're having some problems (including uid/pwd problems).

On a pay per minute premium line, you need to keep them hanging on as long as possible.

Makes you wonder why the more non-KSS call centers don't use those techniques...
Or do they?

Our local telecommunications company with an automated system that want you to describe in a few brief words what you want.
All you have to do is swear and cuss at it and then it responds.
"I'll put you through to an operator now."
Works every time...

Excellent warmup for when you get to talk to the customer service rep. (see how optimistic I can be!)

Hi All,
Regulars like Dave & Nagy can probably answer this, where is Darlek Dave, I seem to recall seeing something about him being ticked off... If he has gone for good I will miss the CCC daily (never got one!). So have toys left pram and he has gone taking buckets of Ink?...

I think it was a bad case of Man-flu.

Dunno what's up. Today he is mostly moaning about the Mike Read 'song' on FB. Not criticising it of course, but rallying against his perception of PC [gone made] in the form of outrage. I kindly inromed him that it was a shyte song, performed in a shyte style in support of a shyte.

It has really tarnished the reputation of ex Radio One DJs in this country.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

I saw Mike Read on the tellybox lasty night and thought - at last a Radio One DJ that hasn't done anything "regrettable". Then the song came on, I'm surprised he didn't have blackface.

I'll be honest, until this story hit the news yesterday I thought he was dead.
I think I was happier then.

I didn't think that was possible?

Presumably with a box of tissues.
For the man flu, of course.

He's doing some OU course, I think that might be occupying his time.

He keeps going on about some astrophysics stuff or whatever, I think that is just a cover.....in reality he is studying beauty therapy.
