CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Fresh plate of spuds and Onions on the bar if thats any good Keaydian.

Red day for me as well socs ;-(

Anyone not had a reddish day must be a bit of a whizzo, Keep on smiling tomorrow is another day :-)
In the meantime two pints of Guinness will be a pleasant start to the evening.

Scof scof, lovely.

Pint of the black stuff to wash it down please, and make sure it's a clean glass!

A pint of lemonade and a straw please.

Lemonade!

Join the queue.

Its self serve in here ;-) however I have put out a bale of straw and a drop of lemonade and a can of black paint if that helps?

right bedtime for me, I have to get up at 0445 to catch a plane in the morning ....

Dont eat all the straw.

Enjoy Spaceman, keep away from dodgy barge salesmen.

Morning all, just off to Gatwick ;-(

thanks for the warning Keaydian.

Wet an horrible in cloggyland, no parrots but the trees do look nice.

Damp, dull and boring here also Spacie so you're not missing anything.
Sending over a Guinness :>)

Morning all

nice foggy start in oxfordshire this am.

finally got my laptop back from toshiba (the hard drive died) and now it wont connect to my wireless network - has to be said their customer service has been awful

Morning folks,
Fundy info like that is worth making a note of for when it comes to replacement time. Good service is worth a lot.

Sorry about the laptop Fundy - Guinness all round then for you guys :>)

Opto

this is the replacement for the previous laptop that broke so theyre way down the list when it comes to replacement. Taken them 2 weeks to replace a hard drive and return the laptop. Refused to try to restore the data from the previous hard drive and charged a deposit of 200 for me to have my old hard drive for a month to try and get the data recovered myself

disgusted of oxfordshire !!!!!

bunny - thanks for the guiness :-)

btw their call centre is in the far east - like pulling teeth to get anywhere with them - when i asked if i could take the laptop somewhere for repair rather than it being collected (i rightly assumed this would speed the process up) they told me to take it to Glasgow ffs

Toshiba is definately off the 'consideration' list, thanks Fundy and hope you get everything resolved eventually.

the frustrating this is, i really like the laptop itself, just not reliable enough and awful customer service

pretty much getting the machine back how i want it now, just got to find someone who can recover the old hard disk now

I thought you had already had problems with a Toshiba laptop a while back, so this is the replacement, geesh what a performance for you :>(
Heard a lot of horrir stories about laptops, from battery problems to overheating, so not rushing to convert from my desktop standard computer. I can live with not being able to work on the move thankfully LOL

I like Tosh laptops they are well built and perform fairly well and the price isnt bad. Mine has been fine since I bought in in Australia last xmas. But I understand the concerns if you need support, I would not even bother speaking to them and I would fix it myself.

On the whole I am not a fan of laptops they are to compromised and expensive, I only use mine when I am away from home.

Fundy re your data, it may be hard to get anything much off without paying good money, it depends on how badly damaged it is. One thing that you might think of trying is mounting it under Linux and seeing if you can recover anything that way.
