protect yourself man! ..........so she's not pregnant then? Thankfully no. Though it did give her plenty of amusement when she found out that's why I was so worried. Got quite irritating after a while. |

Planning on buying myself a new computer this afternoon with Windows Vista on it. I'm going to get it from Currys.digital even though I said to myself I'd never buy anything from there again after the fiasco they served me with when I brought my current one from there a few years back.

My plans to buy a new computer from Currys.dickheads ended in nothing today. I said I was interested in a particular computer and they filled out all of my details, sorted out the payment through my card and asked for my name and address only to tell me at the end that they no longer do deliveries. Seeing as I don't have a car I had no way of getting it back home and I told them this. I then asked them why they wanted my name and address to which they replied 'we need it in case you lose your till receipt!' Disgusted with this service I had my money refunded and left the shop vowing never to buy anything from the place again.
Another thing that made me think twice about the computer was that it was explained on their shelves that it was the last one left. The last one left they explained was the one that was standing in their shop window turned on letting the bright weather outside discolour the machine and potentially burn out something inside it seeing that it was switched on throughout the shops working hours.

A very good site for computers is dabs.com
I got my current laptop from there. Easy to use site, good prices and very swift and safe delivery/

Aw I had such a cool shift day before yesterday! I kicked a door in, got a drunk driver arrested and, as part of the larger emergency health care machine, helped save a 1 yr old child!
Kicking the door in was the best bit... (took me six kicks though, ahem)
Hey, Dave's back! Just realised!
Now, must do work, must do work, must post on The Hub, NO! Must do work!

Well I've only been back about a week. Didn't know anyone noticed I was gone actually.
Kicking doors in is a great way to ensure a good day. Hmm that shed isn't doing anything...

Kicking the door in was the best bit... (took me six kicks though, ahem) The movies and TV shows make it look so easy don't they? (Except for the ones that don't). Doors in the real world have a tendency to be less co-operative. (Not that I have ever had to kick down a door, but I did have to try and shoulder charge my old front door when it got stuck - I did not manage to be anywhere near as successful as you Shockprowl. Clearly you have superior Door-fu) Karl |

Depends on the strength of the doorframe too I'd imagine. I've kicked a bathroom door in but a front door oh no, that's a tougher nut to crack. 6 kicks to take a door down is very good.

The first old lady's door I kicked in (on the job, I hasten to add, not just 'because') was a super-dooper strengthened UPVC (UPV? UCV? BBC?), you know, the type that locks middle, top and bottom. Christ that hurt my ankle. Took 'bout five freakin' minutes. Mother freakin' well got through it like. After that incident I took advice from my brother and my best mate, both whome are officers of the fuzz, who gave me some 'gain of entry' tips. So this door, although again UPVCVPC, I was able to ascertaineth was only locked in the middle. Coupla howsyafathers and hasta-lasagne, door open (for the technically door-fu minded of you, after 3 unsucessfull front kicks, I switched to side kicks, the third of which had the desired effect YAAAA!!!).
Gosh I love my job.
And I get to drive reeeeeaaaallllyyyy fast.
And inject folkes with things!
And run through shopping malls carry defibs and green bags looking all heroic.
I did have to clean young drung girl wee of my hand the other night.
So yeah, I love my job!!!!!!!

Oh, I should perhaps say that both the patient's featured in tonight's door-kicking-in-extravaganza were alright!
