I took out an advertising program on yell.com in November 2008 that cost me roughly £1750 exc VAT for 1 year. The basis of that program was that my ad would appear in their search results under certain search criteria. They show 10 results per page, so my ad would be on the 1st page [...]
After another 10+ phone calls, many of which were hugely frustrating, I was eventually contacted by someone who could actually help. They looked into the problem, and called me back along with a ‘Brand Manager’ to offer me a solution. Their solution is to send me an HDMI – DVI cable. My graphics card has [...]
I recently bought a new Dell desktop computer, with two monitors. I did some research and found the computer I was going to buy, then made sure it had a graphics card which supported two screens. Imagine my amazement (and by amazement, I mean frustration) when it arrived today with a graphics card which only [...]
I used a BT Payphone from Gatwick airport recently. Shocked that the minimum price of a call had gone up to 40p and I only had 20p, I opted to use my Visa debit card. I was on the phone for less than two minutes. I checked my bank account today and I was charged [...]
It’s not often that i get in a rant about something, however, companies which only publish 0845 or 0870 numbers really get on my nerves! I can see an argument for them ten years ago so that people can get a local rate call to companies in other parts of the country, but the fact [...]
I recently had some experience with an iPod Touch, and i mustadmit i was left slightly disgruntled again. Like most Apple products, the packaging was great, the product looks and feels fantastic, is very easy to use and has some really great features. I was particularly surprised that i liked it a great deal more [...]
During the few days, i’ve really been noticing how i’m getting a little awaysick. What’s that i hear you cry! The opposite of homesick! Bear in mind that for the last 16 months i’ve spent little more than 6-8 weeks in one place without travelling on somewhere else. I’ve now been home for 2 months…and [...]
Arrived safely back in Bangkok after two and half weeks in Myanmar…still alive and with all limbs! It was a really cool trip and a big eye-opener. Before i delve into the details further, i’ll give a quick background of the country and the situation. Myanmar is the country formally known as Burma. The name [...]
A little slip yesterday…will be explained shortly…left me thinking that a nearly broken arm, and broken camera means i should probably get some insurance! If anyone knows good backpacker travel insurance that will cover me (even though i’m not leaving from the UK – crucial bit) please let me know… Time for a rant. Asia [...]
Silly billy Fergy left his transponder (the wee thing that lets you into your room…like an electronic key) in the foodcourt yesterday! So after realising at just after midnight i was told that it would be $20 to let me into my room, i crashed on Erik’s floor. I checked with the foodcourt this morning…and [...]
