Random question, but got a little problem with the new laptop. When I press a key on the keyboard, the notepad will stop working, is that a setting or is it a limitation with laptops?


Is it from PC World? Black Friday sale by any chance?

EDIT: NVM i think i remember you were the one that wanted help between two? So can't of been from PC World

Just finished work. What an absolute MESS.

I work in Currys/PC World call center, Knowhow. The phone lines have been on and off all day, been having customers complain at me about not being able to place an order over the fucking phone, lazy bastards should have gone and bought it in the shop.

Black Friday was a ball ache, on an average day i take roughly 600 calls, on Friday i took 2,781. Saturday not much better, took 1,946. Today was brilliant though, only took 129, because of the phone lines

Also earnt a bonus of £170 for this month on Friday. I call it a success \o/

Also the website showing the queue was absolute bollocks, never once on Friday in the call center did anybody get that message, clearly artificial like someone above said, its to make people rush to buy things then cos they think 177,000 people waiting will mean products will sell out fast.

Currys/PC World made a killing though tbf, i sold 126,000 worth of stuff in my 2,781 calls, and there are 130 people on the sales floor.

I work in the distribution centre in Newark, in one of the offices. Sales were 200% up on last black friday.

That bonus a standard half year one, or just for black friday work? I get £585 bonus on Thursday :o)

You lot have just passed a pretty weird amendment regarding the creation of Porn in the UK.

Spanking

Caning

Aggressive whipping

Penetration by any object "associated with violence"

Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)

Urolagnia (known as "water sports" )

Female ejaculation

Strangulation

Facesitting

Fisting

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering".


Spanking? really? and female ejaculation? Facesitting means most lesbian porn is out then

Just had a read about it. It'll surely just drive UK based producers out of the country?

And why is female ejaculation banned? How odd.

Cos the say "Most of the time it's piss" or something.

What's the odds that in 2 years, politicians will say: If it's illegal to produce here then it should be illegal to watch here?

Can't really seem it being the type of thing anyone is going to stand up and oppose either.

Seems like it has been caused by a back room deal with a super conservative who has a vendetta against porn.

Wasn't all of that stuff banned from sale in the UK already though?

Shit, so now I cant make videos of me anally probing women with a lubed up gun, while I beat her and call her names, while another sits on my face and squirts everywhere?

Field camp tomorrow- 5 days outfield in the jungle, shitty tropical temperature/humidity, shitty monsoon season, shitty combat rations, digging a shitty shell scrape , sleeping in a shitty basha tent, getting screwed over by commanders by day, having our rifles stolen by commanders at night, only 3 uniforms, only 3 pairs of underwear, and shitty heat rashes.

Oh and we march 12km to the campsite, with a 15kg fieldpack, a vest and the rifle. What joy.

Waltz seems a bit uninspired casting. But he might turn out good.

Christoph Waltz has played two of my favourite characters of recent times.

But effectively they're the same character with the same personality, one good and one bad. I really hope we see a bit more range.

So the last two weeks I've been on Jury Service. really didn't want to do it when it first came through until I realised I had to! But in the end it proved to be alright. Met some interesting people and some people that you just want to shoot you know! But it was insightful thats for sure!

My granddad had to do jury duty maybe 4 months back. Obviously he couldn't tell us what it was about but it went on for about 2 weeks then got thrown out of court! He was a bit annoyed to say the least. The bloke was guilty as well, only problem is the police fucked up the evidence.

You are allowed to speak of the matter after the trial has finished.

Mine was a rape case on three counts, bloke was found not guilty on all three!

We don't reckon so, hence the not guilty verdict but I guess in truth we'll never know

Yeah it was a tough case in fairness, they both had learning difficulties, her IQ was about 50 in fairness, there was DNA evidence of sexual activity between the pair but we could never pinpoint it out to be rape thats for sure

I've always wanted to try jury duty, but not keen on losing wages to do it.
