He also said we like to swear in the middle of words.


Well, his surname demostrates this.

My mp4 player stopped working properly. About 9 out of 10 times I switched it on there would be no sound coming out of it and the volume graphic would disappear. So I sent it to Sony, following their repair service instructions (it's still under warranty as well).

I have now received a letter from Sony Central Service, claiming there is no fault with the product, and that I will receive it back from them as soon as I pay a £17 labour fee. So they've switched it on once and it just happened to be the 1 time in 10 that it was working, AND I'm having to pay even though it's under warranty. :evil:

When you pay their extortionate fee, have a search round on the internet for the similar problem & see how others got it repaired. It may be best to get it repaired at one of those import electrical shops, if it can be repaired.

Tuesday - computer guys came in Monday when I was off, obviously saw what websites I'd been on and blocked it. Boss had a word today about 'social networking sites' - rubbish!!

Thanks, and thanks for the PM!

That happened to us with Facebook, You Tube, etc. Some tosser of a regional manager came round the office one day, one of the girls was looking at Facebook during her lunch break & the next day it was gone. The excuse given was that Facebook & You Tube were accidentally implanting viruses. The real reason was that bloke was an arse (and one of those that plays everything by the book and loves the company to bits, well he did a year ago at least). Forums & Emails are fine though.

No probs, hope you enjoyed them :)

Ruddy Buffering on the iPlayer live feed of the show. Sometimes the internet at work just falls through the floor and is nigh on unusable for a day. Looks like today is one of those days. Humph.

Checking the internet was the first thing I did, believe me. I even posted on anythingbutipod.com, and the geeks there were really helpful and showed me the combination of button-pressing that gets me into "test mode". However, it turned out sending it to be fixed was the only way.

I've tried so hard to get around phoning Sony... I've always had sort of a phobia of phoning people (I work in an office, so I'm dealing with it :oops: ), but am left with no other option so I'll phone them up at lunchtime. I'll basically tell them everything I wrote in that above post, albeit more politely.

They'd better listen and give it another go. I'm not sure I'd be able to convince them to replace it either. They even had the audacity to inform me that it was scatched on all sides in the invoice!

Maybe your glass is twice the size it needs to be. Hmmm?


Makes no difference. It could still be fuller.
