The price, if nothing else... You'd need to be a very dedicated Sting fan

Wow that is excessive, £86 for a 5 CD box set of Sting! Who actually thinks that is worth it? I did spend £70 on a Kraftwerk box set but there were rare albums in there so even buying them individually would have been more.

I have two Kraftwerk singles. I think that's enough for most people

Curated!  Just shows that Sting should be in a museum with all the other fossils.

The apple store has a lot of staff working on a sunday. And hollister is crazy, so fake, but also so unbelievably awesome in a fake yet awesome sort of way. And also, I can't believe how bumpkin I've got that the whole of west quay retail park blew my mind. Consumerism has moved on since I last got involved. I was really staggered to see people getting so obsessed about what tee shirt to buy when it didn't seem to be any different to the one they were wearing and the light was so bloody dim. I think I'm getting old!

The apple store pisses me off too. The mike on my iPhone has an intermittent fault, I booked an appointment with a genius at the genius bar fully expecting a new phone, only to be given a software restore and to clean my microphone with a soft brush to remove the dust.
Excuse me recent apple fan. Don't you think I might have tried the software restore before I called you? It's an hour's drive, seeing you is really a last resort. My phone is broken and I was using apple kit before you were even born. The [LIFTED] even suggested it might be because I am with t-mobile and they have crap reception. I know they've got crap reception, I've been using them for over 12 years. Back when you weren't an apple genius and you were just a drooling child. I have full signal at work and I will be half way through a conversation when the other person can't hear me. That's got [LIFTED] all to do with me or t-mobile, it's because my phone is [LIFTED]. Sort it out and don't try and fob me off. Am I suffering from shifting dust? At the start of the conversation, it's not there, then it is, then it disappears until the five year old genius finds it.
I've paid my apple tax for enough years and paid my dues, sort me out and quit [LIFTED] me around with your new found fame.
I am an idiot though, can't believe I didn't go mental about it and just left and even said thanks for your help.

I've always bought apple and it's always worked. I think that's why I'm a bit miffed when it hasn't worked for the first time. I feel all lost and abused.

While I was waiting for my phone to be updated, I was allowed to play with a mac mini with this weird trackpad thing and lion. me no likey. I know I struggle with change, but still. I feel like it's a secret club I'm not allowed into. The bloke did [LIFTED] all to my phone and said, "can I help you with anything else?" I said, "yes, how does this thing work, I've tried click and that doesn't work, it's about an acre in size, but doesn't scroll when I drag my finger anywhere." he just did it all and then said, "like that". I have never felt more like my dad in my life.

Last thing for tonight, I promise. The trackpad thingy was bigger and harder to use than my mouse, so what is the point of that? The keyboard was also unuseably small and difficult to type on.
