RTF - cameras are forbidden because I work on a customer site. Here they make bits for the UK military. Engines for fighter planes, warships and nuclear reactors for submarines. So they are very scared of espionage.

Which inevitably means Rob works for a company whose products:

a) Fall to bits
b) Are made with the cheapest flimsiest materials known to mankind
c) Are assembled by 6 year old Asian children in sweat-shops
d) Jam at the first sight of sand/dust/water/air
e) Are 20 years over the deadline
f) Are Â£20 billion over-budget
g) Have been rejected already by such military powers as the Swiss Navy, The Republic Army of Afghanistan, the Italians, the Boy-Scouts...

By the way did someone earlier say they had a LARGE widescreen telly on their COMPUTER DESK??????

How the hell? how big is the desk? Maybe your idea of a big telly differs to mine? Here is my idea of a nice big telly:

Is that a video cassette on top of your TV? How very 1995!!!

Nice T.V. though. I want one of those that hang on the wall...
Or is that a painting? I don't know. I'm very tired. Might be time for bed.

I was looking at one of thos plasma TV's a few weeks ago, but dont wanna pay Â£3500 for something that is only a 42 inch screen, so will have to wait (I have only had my telly a year so far anyway) If its not over 50 inches, its a portable!

CB do you EVER sleep? everytime i am on here at the crack of dawn you are on too, and usually drunk!

PS who is this dawn anyway? and why does my boss keep telling me to get up her cra...........?

Or buy a digital projector - you'd get a very decent one for 2k. I borrowed one severa ltimes and they're ace, you just need to have a decent sized room and a white wall to project onto. And thy're much more portable!

have you noticed how Richer Sounds have small shops and don,t sell CRT TVs

MattB · Post by **MattB** » Thu May 22, 2003 4:17 pm

Small shops = cheap rent etc so more money made. That's why they make more money per square foot of shop space than any other retailer in the UK or something like that.

Apparently so Matt....

Can't believe i missed the RS open box sale at the weekend that Pauline kindly pointed out. There was some real bargains to be had. But no T.V.s...

why do you want a new TV when instead you could stare lovingly into Julias eyes

Am i the only one who worries about why there is a bottle of some sort of lubricant at the desk of Mr. Awol...?
