Booo, XP is the baus.

Also, I've just discovered Power Menu, which gives you an "always on top" option in the drop down menus, that makes XP perfect.

Perhaps surprisingly no.

Although there may be rather less brandy than there was earlier :oops:

After not receiving an order I had been waiting over a month for to be delivered past the expected date the company refunded the order as lost in transit (no tracking/insurance from their side), sent me a $5 voucher for my next order

Got a letter telling 2 days ago telling me there was a customs charge for it and at the depot, so get a large number of tshirts for the cost of the customs (£25 ish)


Win of the story.... got back in touch with the company saying they had arrived and if they wanted me to pay again, they said no :D

Might have kicked enough ass in the HMRC national insurance office that I know how much I owe them. :|

Bought some of the $9 sale ones from Threadless

Some of the ones I got:
http://tinyurl.com/cj5y28
http://tinyurl.com/35u4buy
http://tinyurl.com/7q9mwpr
http://tinyurl.com/8yrordg
http://tinyurl.com/m2k6lb
http://tinyurl.com/6uum88c

(Sorry for the tinyurl's, had them already in that format, all SFW though :))

That said I have spent hundreds with them and been using them for years, it's nice to get fairly unique tshirts at a decent price (While I was on placement when I was leaving someone bought one of the same tshirts I had, and I only know of one person locally that knows of them that I didn't tell about them)

So I downloaded an expansion pack for a game (The Parasites for Gratuitous Space Battles). Anywho, the update/expansion introduced a graphical bug and generally made the game more unstable.
I e-mailed the developer (Red Marble Games) who responded within 24 hours with a custom install package that included all the content I'd previously purchased that fixed the bugs.
That's what I call service.

Euromillions jackpot of £46m for UK ticket-holder

Not me or anyone I know (as far as I know anyway) but that's a pretty epic amount of win right there.
