Tried getting power and gas connected to my flat, took British Gas almost 2 hours over phone to sort it out. Retards.

LOL Phone companies are AWFUL, I work in CEX so get people selling in phones to me, blackberrys have a pin so if someones registered it we need the customer to call their service provider and make it so a new user can register the device with their own email address etc.

The amount of times we get people coming back from the phone shop stores with their phones simply reset, or being told that such a thing isn't possible, or we've made it up.

Or they don't even know what a blackberry service account is ( It's something that they are all very good at selling though :laugh:

)

Does my head in!

Now to reply to second quote

That's why I hate it man, at-least via email you can take a break :laugh:

I have telephone anxiety which makes telephoning companies a problem.

Also with email you can send pictures or have long explanations without waiting on the phone for them to work things out. Mostly first time you state the problem then they read it go work out some shit and reply with an answer.

British gas are crap though, they got fined a few days ago for their stupidity

at the end of the day, i can never describe something very well in writing, plus i can only type at around 50-60 words a minute (source = http://play.typeracer.com/), so talking to people it much faster for me

i made you a walkthrough to get some of my panels/widgets/gadgets

Walkthrough
Download this --> http://rainmeter.googlecode.com/files/Rainmeter-2.0.exe, run the installer, select either 32bit or 64, it doesn't matter

download this --> http://www.deviantart.com/download/1...ia-d2mhn7l.zip --> unzip it --> run the setup file

--> the omnimo theme will start, but it will configure your PC in a windows phone 7 like fashion, just select the correct screen resolution, weather code etc, and let it set itself up

Important bit now, right click one of the panel, and go through the menu to :\WP7\background, and click 'BG.INI' to disable it

you will then have a load of free panels floating on your desktop, you can now move them remove them, and somewhere on your desktop will be an arrow in a circle, click this and it will give you a load of new panels to add, which will do a large variety of different features

after you've done that, you can then modify the panels to look like whatever you want them to look like

just sorted it many may have missed it i got a win7 phone desktop sic now to mod it

Nah, essays are great, i get A/A* in most of 'em

Do you think i should make a thread or something about that?, maybe i could screenshot in step for step and make it more in depth?, and good luck modding it, show me what you end up with once you've finished

EDIT:I was playing learn to fly 2 and look what came up -->

nice, looks a bit cluttered for my tastes

Ignore what i said about the thread, i'm thinking of starting some sort of club, where people can share tips on these sorts of things, desktops, taskbars, basically anything that allows you to customize the look of windows

mine takes less than 65w max, so by design my rig is cooler than yours

MightyMission · Jul 28, 2011

thats aswell as may be,but mine is subzero
therefore mine is cooler by bodgification

It was decided a few posts later by Tatty to uphold the values of the original post.
My desktop is clean i used to have a dock bar 2 years ago but now i just have a few icons and thats it, i tried to go all start menu once didnt like it after awhile. I dont run those shitty widgets they just drain resources for the amount of time im on desktop anyway its useless.

kurosagi01 · Jul 28, 2011

Is it just me that i need be in the right set of mind to be able to play console games?? Because all i'm doing is watching Shaman King on my desktop lol.

All games really, I say that having spent the last 3 days playing gt5 6-8 hours a day

kurosagi01 · Jul 29, 2011

Yeah i guess so lol,finally completed a chapter on Gundam Musou 3/Dynasty Warriors gundam 3.

And i love it on ebay when people give feedback of most typical yet ineffective feedback "fast delivery" yeah alright a week is a fast delivery in the UK. Also hate it when people sell stuff they don't even have courtesy to message you back when you send them a message.

cheesy999 · Jul 29, 2011

Solution: don't buy things on ebay

kurosagi01 · Jul 29, 2011

Perhaps but when i want something that isn't available in stores or online no other choices really lol.

cheesy999 · Jul 29, 2011

What exactly is it you want anyway?

Op is clear in my mind, this is for UK members, it does not say they have to be of UK citizenship however it at least suggests they have to live in the UK, if not it's pointless calling it a "UK" clubhouse...... although the Op is rarely here, that at least was his intention.

Don't forget there's the guy who's English but works in Spain or something - he was accepted among us :laugh:

I used to be terrible on the phone, but one day I just thought "think fast" and now I can say I'm damn good. Probably got a lot to do with the music making thing (freestyling requires fast thinking) but yea, I can leave an answer phone message without any "umms" and "aahs" now. Knowing what you've got to say beforehand helps too :laugh:

Yeah, because he's English.

scaminatrix · Jul 29, 2011

Yea, but the bit I quoted, said "suggests they have to live in the UK". That's what I was pointing at.
