THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee.
(Now I know why they record these conversations!):

Operator: "Ridge Hall, computer assistance; May I help you?"
Caller: "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect."
Operator: "What sort of trouble??"
Caller: "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away."
Operator: "Went away?"
Caller: "They disappeared."
Operator: "Hmm. So what does your screen look like now?"
Caller: "Nothing."
Operator: "Nothing??"
Caller: "It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type."
Operator: "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??"
Caller: "How do I tell?"
Operator: "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen??"
Caller: "What's a sea-prompt?"
Operator: "Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?"
Caller: "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type."
Operator: "Does your monitor have a power indicator??"
Caller: "What's a monitor?"
Operator: "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??"
Caller: "I don't know."
Operator: "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??"
Caller: "Yes, I think so."
Operator: "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall. Caller: "Yes, it is."
Operator: "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??"

Caller: "No."
Operator: "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable."
Caller: "Okay, here it is."
Operator: "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer."
Caller: "I can't reach."
Operator: "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??"
Caller: "No."
Operator: "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??"
Caller: "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark."
Operator: "Dark??"
Caller: "Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window." Operator: "Well, turn on the office light then."
Caller: "I can't."
Operator: "No? Why not??"
Caller: "Because there's a power failure."
Operator: "A power...................................... A power failure?
Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??"
Caller: "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet."
Operator: "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from."
Caller: "Really? Is it that bad?"
Operator: "Yes, I'm afraid it is."
Caller: "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??"
Operator: "Tell them you're too f*%king stupid to own a computer

For those that missed the incredible rise of SGP today hard luck so did I.

Frampton - 07 Feb 2006 17:38 - 3818 of 81564

I missed it too Driver. AND I looked at this morning when it was 0.85, but couldn't see any reason for the rise, so didn't think about it any further. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

sarkee - 07 Feb 2006 17:50 - 3819 of 81564

So Hamza only received 7 years .......lets see he will get 2/3rds reduction in his 7 year term and he has already been banged up for over 2 years .......means he should be back on th streets before Easter..........British Justice you it makes sense.......... ..........

hewittalan6 - 07 Feb 2006 17:53 - 3820 of 81564

Yeah but thats the streets of the USA, cos when hes done here they want a word with him.

jimmy b - 07 Feb 2006 18:04 - 3821 of 81564

Good,, send him there ,,oh i forgot i'm not allowed to say that in case i offend .

hewittalan6 - 07 Feb 2006 18:07 - 3822 of 81564

OFFEND ME SOME MORE!!!! C'Mon, I love it.
What wasn't published was as part of his sentence he was to be given a dose of crabs.
Can't imagine anything worse than a seriously itchy scrotum and both hands being hooks.
Go for it Abu. It'll mean you can't breed again either. What a bonus!!!!!

jimmy b - 07 Feb 2006 18:13 - 3823 of 81564

Can you imagine me Al standing ouside Westminster wearing a pretend bomb and a banner saying behead all Muslims ,,where would i be tonight ,,in Jail ,,but then i am white and British so i suppose that explains it ..

sarkee - 07 Feb 2006 18:14 - 3824 of 81564

yer thats what I heard, but no doubt he will be released because his Human Rights may be enfringed..........& after all thats more important to the fcuking PC brigade......just seen his screw ball lawyer on TV saying he is going to appeal, (no doubt at tax payers expense), and his conviction is all because of a big media campaign, .............BTW the lawyer refers to Hamza as a Sheikh ROFLMFHO......

Still think the Romanian Solution to be the best way to deal with this........

sarkee - 07 Feb 2006 18:17 - 3825 of 81564

Jimmy quickly disappear as the thought police are on the way....... you will get a LIFE term (without parole) for such comments.............

jimmy b - 07 Feb 2006 18:22 - 3826 of 81564



I think she is holding a banner ,much better .. I'm going in to hiding sarkee

sarkee - 07 Feb 2006 18:28 - 3827 of 81564

Jimmy just before u go , can u post the front view thx......want to see if the numbers add up..... !!!!

sarkee - 07 Feb 2006 19:13 - 3828 of 81564

No response from Jimmy........so Pres Bliars thought police must have got him........

& so another 1 bites the dust..........

hewittalan6 - 07 Feb 2006 19:19 - 3829 of 81564

Here we go again.
It doesn't seem two minutes since we organised a "Wilbs is innocent campaign" with our school dinner money, and now Jimmy requires our expertise in legal affairs.

sarkee - 07 Feb 2006 19:31 - 3830 of 81564

is that because he is white & middle class ????

IF he was'nt he would get as much legal aid as he wanted & they might call him Sheikh........

hewittalan6 - 07 Feb 2006 19:37 - 3831 of 81564

I've seen him drink. More likely they'd call him shake.
White when he has a wash (September-ish) and middle class when compared to a Bangladeshi tea picker.
;-)

jimmy b - 07 Feb 2006 19:43 - 3832 of 81564



Yep just as i thought ,i got arrested .....

sarkee stick around ,there is always lots of birds on here ,its Alan he's one of the dirty mac brigade :-)

hewittalan6 - 07 Feb 2006 19:46 - 3833 of 81564

Dirty mac brigade would be a step up in class for me, mate.
Not sure I'm ready for that sort of competition yet.
I'll just have to keep practising.
