  1. It's a good job you weren't commissioned for the job, with spelling like that.
  2. We look like Real Madrid, yet play like Barcelona.
  3. Ok, Block 10 must be all the comps and comp extra purchases then, as mine all have '0' as the seat number - ie. sit where you like in Block 10!
  4. Paper tickets with barcode. No specified seat, just a block number.
  5. 10k sold so far. Would expect a decent walk-up too.
  6. The extension of the home bench means my ST comps seats from last season have disappeared! It was a great view but the atmosphere was crap. At least it means I don't have to sit next to the miserable old fart from last season that I almost came to blows with on a few occasions! Not sure where the tickets are being moved to for this season yet, but if it is Block 3 as has been mooted then I'll be a happy bunny. There has been a lot of tarting up of the stadium this close season. I think a lot of people will be impressed.
  7. So if your machine develops a fault after, say, 10mths: what do you do? Do you pick it up, drive to The Internet and let them take a look, fix it on the spot, maybe leave it with them 24hrs before picking it up fixed? Seriously, once you've jumped through hoops online, waited for your jiffy bag to turn up, then waited for the carrier to collect it, then wait patiently to hear from The Internet, how long will most non-Apple customers wait for 'The Internet' and be without their machine? What if the machine was a week or several months out of warranty? Would your Internet be likely ever to just fix it for free anyway? My unibody aluminium MacBook was the original released one and has never had a problem or failure. My previous white MacBook is now around 7-8yrs old; It's in as good working order now with the family member that now has it as it was the day I bought it. I did have a couple of issues with it: one was fixed under warranty and I was without it less than 24hrs; the other problem I had with it was when it was over 2yrs old - I took it into the Apple Shop for them to diagnose and they replaced an internal part on the spot. The current owner of it cracked the keyboard inlay and took it in to see what could be done - she paid a minimal amount to replace the plastic piece, they replaced another part that was looking grubby and put on the latest OS for free. Say what you like about Apple and their stores, but I seriously doubt you'd get that level of service over and above their obligations from 'The Internet' or your store purchased HP, Toshiba, Acer etc. Re the training: most people probably don't need training on software, but many do. Technophobes, silver surfers, people looking to improve their skills: go in to an Apple Store most days and you will see the staff sat down with all sorts of people, taking the time to train, advise, discuss or demonstrate any number of machines, software or peripherals. These aren't people who are necessarily going to buy anything there and then, it's just part of the overall service you get from Apple.
  8. They also have shops that you can take your machine into if you need help, training on software, advice or repair. Good luck with your Dell/ Acer/ Asus/ Toshiba/ HP/ A.N.Other when it goes wrong or you want help or training.
  9. http://www.thismonkey.com/fixtures-football.shtml Go there, select SFC, it will subscribe you to our Fixtures Calendar on your iPhone. They update fixture changes overnight, so these televised games should automatically change to the new dates and times from tomorrow.
  10. Well we are really. The player wants to play for us. Good luck if Vitesse force him to sign for QPR against his wishes!
  11. Been there, done that, landed a job for one person to Heathrow, to wait 30mins and return with five people for a stupid amount of money. Much more profitable than loads of jobs between £5-10 each from the hotels to the terminals! I am sat, seat reclined, drinking coffee and watching Netflix on my iPad and getting paid for it
  12. You mean he's bummed baj?
  13. The Sofitel is lovely. The restaurant is expensive though, so I treated the missus to a romantic walk across to Subway in the terminal
  14. "Fratton Park suffered due to the Taylor Report in 1995 and the club had to fence off certain areas of the ground and install temporary seating, until 1997 when the new 4, 600 seater Fratton Stand opened for business. Portsmouth have unveiled plans for a new £600million waterfront stadium and residential project. The new stadium is being designed by the architects responsible for the 2008 Olympic Beijing National Stadium and the Allianz Stadium in Munich. An all-seater 36,000 stadium is planned, along with residential development of the surrounding land and at the 17 acre Fratton Park site. Planning consent is still needed at this time but the club are planning on having the stadium ready for the 2011-2012 season!" PRICELESS !!!!!!
  15. Oh ffs, we get back in The Premier League and someone wants to do a Saintsforever-esque seating plan I am fully expecting TUS to come back and start a "Who has their Newcastle away tickets?" next.
  16. No you don't. I'm quite happy for passengers to listen to my wisdom / travel in silence / listen to their iPod / pretend to be asleep. They can do whatever they want as long as they pay me :-)
  17. Android following Apple's lead yet again. Steve Jobs was right all along then... http://t.co/asCNDgy1
  18. Vegetarians generally look ill, pale and, quite often, almost translucent. It's enough to put you off your food.
  19. Don't worry us. I thought you meant another on. You were 1 day and 44 posts too late with that link! The move is dependant on TB paying up the amount Mokoena has had deferred and is owed. Not a foregone conclusion.
  20. http://www.sundayworld.co.za/sport/2012/06/18/mbazo-is-back---aaron-mokoena-is-on-his-way-to-join-wits It looks like Mokoena might be on his way. No mention of any transfer fee, but at least his wages will be gone. One down, ten to go Birchy Boy.
  21. That's pretty smart. I'd be happy with that. Or a yellow & blue version. Although it'll be neither.
  22. Safari on Mac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone.
  23. Thank f*** for that. I thought it said Harry Hill. I love TV Burp.
  24. He must want a divorce then.
  25. And he'd be crying for the duration of the holiday and on the flight home.
