Be Excellent To Each Other

That would go nicely with my Italian chandelier.

What's the name of that bloke that pays Rev?

Tom Hollander.

What's the name of that Swedish detective?

I don't imagine anyone's interested but I got an email back from that developer:



And he's right, if I log out of my Google account I get the same error as Grim when trying to hit that URL but when I log back in it's magically available again. I didn't realise Google did that but it's quite a nice way of ensuring that existing customers can always get their hands on what they bought but new people can't buy something that's been taken down.

It's an odd arrangement as well to sell the same game under a new name and developer account but maybe the original dev just didn't have time to maintain it or something. The new dev has put out a new version with improvements according to the changelog so fair play to him.

Kurt Wallander.

Talking of Swedes, what's the surname of the girl in the Millennium trilogy?

What does he/she mean by that?

Salander.

Talking of dragons, what's the name of that lizard I'm thinking of?

Nigel Farage

That's the one

Just what it says I assume, that they've bought the game and the rights to carry on developing/selling it from the original developer.

Recognised minority. Yeah!

That's properly insane.

Stop oppressing us.

For the sake of fuck! Our electric cooker pretty much exploded at the weekend i.e. horrible electricy explodey noise accompanied by a shower of sparks from the front. We suspect water got into the hob elements when Mrs B was boiling some veg but either way it's dead.

We'd had good delivery and installation service from Argos previously but they were looking at weeks to deliver a suitable replacment so Mrs B found these folk who promised speedy delivery. Order made and delivery booked for Friday. I got a phone call a couple of days ago saying their was a delay with the manufacturers so they'd need to push delivery out until Tuesday. Fine, it's not a massive deal and it's still a lot quicker than Argos could promise.

I then got another phone call a few minutes ago from a guy checking the details of the order and the address and whatnot; which is fair enough and I appreciated their attention to detail. During the conversation though he happened to ask whether our flat was ground floor or not. No, it's third floor I told him. Only at this point does he bother to mention that their delivery service only does ground floor flats and wouldn't carry anything up stairs. Aside from the fact that I wouldn't be able to humph this kind of gear up three flights of stairs myself, we'd also paid for installation of the dishwasher we'd added to the order and scrapping of the cooker and fridge we already had in the kitchen which would be a waste of money if they weren't going to even come up the stairs. So I had no choice but to cancel the entire order putting us back to square one with no cooker but a week further down the fucking line! Mrs B's going to hit the roof and I'll need to scrabble today to find somewhere else that'll deliver us a cooker ASAP. Fucksticks.

So, anyone got any recommendations of companies that'll deliver white goods quickly? Preferably someone that'll also do the cooker installation as apparently you need an electrician for that so it'd be good to have that done as part of the delivery.

Currys do next day delivery and installation, may not be the best price for the unit itself, but needs must!

Try somewhere local maybe. Not sure about where you live but there's still some independent retailers round here. You'll probably have to pay more than the best price on the internet, though.

Cool, I'll look into that.

Appliences Online http://ao.com/ are very good, and will deliver today if you give them £30.

You'll have to call them to talk about the stairs, though.

I think it was appliances online that I used. They come highly recommended.

Yeah, they're looking like a winner at the moment (pending investigation of their stair policy). Cheers to you and Grim for the recommendation.

Except Appliances Online don't do installation of electric cookers in my area so that was a bust. I've eventually got one from Curries that they'll deliver on Sunday and fit and take away the old one so sorted (hopefully).

What a fucking sketch, I ended up trying loads of places and that single cooker from that single website was the only one I could find that was suitable (i.e. was electric, had a ceramic hob, a fan oven, wasn't too big for the space, could be delivered and fitted within a week in my area) and even it wasn't really the colour we were after but fuck it.

Apologies folks, this must be setting a new record for 'most boring series of posts on Beex'.

Tell us about your bins.

I'm going to the cinema tonight to see a live tour of the current Viking show at the British Museum Should be fun, and saves a trip to the smoke.

I love the way the barriers lift and the cars set off past him without bothering to see if the clueless tit is ok.

I like the way his hat flies off, but he manages to get it back on his bonce before he hits the floor AND without using his hands.

So, I sold my Nexus 7 via ebay a few weeks back. Lady raises a case yesterday evening, as apparently it won't charge fully. I replied back saying it was fine when I sent it out. She replies back this morning saying she has replaced the charger and it is now fine and will close the case tomorrow assuming it charges up ok. (I expect she has now tried the charger that was in the box, and not some random USB cable she had lying around that was plugged into a shitty PC that couldn't supply enough charge, but that's beside the point.)

I want to buy a game from Steam. (Craft the World, fact fans). I usually use paypal to buy stuff online, as it means I don't have to fish out my credit card.
Paypal want me to pay into my account £175 before i'm allowed to use it to buy anything, due to the open case. Fucking annoying cunts.

Yeah, I don't use PayPal for a many a good reason.

What reasons are there for not using it? It's always seemed like an excellent idea to me and I'll tend to use it where I can in preference to giving out my card details.

I had a similar issue in the past and did wonder about trying to open 2 paypal accounts - one to have stuff paid into (from selling things on ebay) and one I could use to pay stuff but never went any further

Dead thread!

Pow!

... Class, I laughed like a fecking drain at this. Sound card required, volume high. Genius.

I'll dig my SoundBlaster out once I've finished with this boot disk.

Yeah, showing my age.

That is far funnier than it should be!

L-LOLs agogo there. Brilliant.

Reminds me of this old classic.

Ace!

I think we should source some of these for the BBQ.
Better than red vines...

I can't help but fell that wouldn't be a good idea.

Maybe a bag for the office kitchen then...

Turns out, the lady that lives behind me is a tree surgeon. Why I'm cutting these trees in my garden then is anyone's guess. I might learn something from her.

I didn't know that Silent Hill had a load of gag endings.

These are bloody hilarious. And mental.
