A lot of people have both the same laptop as me and have started having them delivered, a lot of them are reporting that their laptop is red for some reason. Fingers crossed.
Just arrived and spot on, a few days later than promised but it looks brand new, red too (not black)Laptop arrived today, well packaged, surprisingly RED! Not a "scratch or dent" on it, can't really argue with it

I'm about to murder somebody at Betfair
trying to place a multiple bet
http://multiples.betfair.com is taking me back to the home page. Driving my mad so I get on to live chat.
The first time, Cosmin arriives, says hello how can i help. I explain my issue and then radio silence. I give a "Are you there"'s then close the window and start again. After waiting in the queue a few mins.
Up pops Cosmin again...
Cosmin*: Hello welcome to Betfair you are chatting with Cosmin. How can I help?*
Mellor: if you aren't going to reply this time, just piss off now*
Cosmin: Hi Brendan*
Cosmin: Tell me please?*
Mellor: As i told you in the last chat, im trying to palce a multiple bet*
Mellor: but it keeps sending me to the homepage*
Cosmin: Unfortunately did not get any message Brendan*
Cosmin: Is the card under your name?*
Mellor: yes*
Cosmin: Are you sure all details have been correctly entered?*
Mellor: What details?*
Mellor: I've no idea what you are talking about to be honest*
Cosmin: One moment please*
Cosmin: Are you trying to place the bet on Sportsbook or Exchange market?*
Mellor: Exchange*
Mellor: the sportsbook link at the top doesn't work*
Cosmin: One moment please*
Cosmin: On exchange market is not allowed to place multiple bets Brendan, only on Sportsbook*
Mellor: that;s fne, it still isn't working*
Mellor: the link is http://multiples.betfair.com/*
Mellor: it's redirecting me to the homepage, i'm not getting an an option to click on sportsbook/exchange*
*Cosmin*has disconnected.*
In my forth attempt I got a new operator, Sophie.
Who tells me that I can't bet when I'm on holiday in australia.
I tell ive been here 8 years and never had an issue and she comes back with "thats the information I have, I don;t deal with Australian customers"
Jesus wept, I'm about to go nuts

What kinda name is Cosmin anyway.
Indoor football team has a chance to win the league tonight. The other irish team in our league did us a huge favour by beating the league leaders last night. We are now 3 point behind going into the last game with a better goal difference.
COME ON THE LADS.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

good LOL @ three
Couple of months ago my HTC m8 was dying and I had a chinese phone on order from Gearbest, they cancelled the order after a week and the M8 died on its feet so being stuck for a phone I went back to three and got a new Samsung on contract as it was the only decent phone they had.
Don't like the samsung very much so got the M8 fixed and put a new battery in it so its as good as new but the samsung was locked to Three for the duration.
Last month they sent a letter saying they were altering the contract putting up the price from 45 to 49 a month.
I called to cancel ,got the hard sell on what great value I was getting - told them GTFO.
Switching to a monthly sim only plan with an unlock code for the SamsungTurning millions into thousands

They might be better to deal with plus even if it goes to help desk in Malta and they're useless you'll have a better chance of getting something from a trader after 11pm, they put way more through to traders at night.

The exe then ecrypts all important file types (office files, jpeg, zip, sql) located in local folders; desktop, my docs, download before moving on to the shared drives. It hides the subfolders and renders the above files useless. It then creates a shortcut file with the same name as the hidden folder. Clicking on the shortuct from another PC runs a small script to download the exe and the whole thing kicks off again on the next computer. And so on until you notice what's happening.

I know of at least 2 msps that have had ransomware fails. Hard to believe they hadnt their policies locked down, one bullshitted the customers they were charging for offsite backups that it was a SAN failure.Low fee Euro/UK money transfer, 1st transfer free through my referral
