ROFL !

That reminds me of the time I was at nthell and had to help a dude with a mac ( without knowing anything about macs )

I put my mute button on and said something along the lines of stupid bloody macs.. except the mute button wasn't on

Luckily he found the funny side of it !

Quite amusing fail with us, a one man band company said he had ceased trading owing us LOTS of money, this was a few months ago.

Last week we had an email from our client who emailed the original enquiry to us so we had the full email trail ( this really does annoy me ) but lo and behold the client we were going legal on had emailed OUR new client with all of the info... at the same address he said he wasn't trading from

What a doughnut

One of the telesales ladies at a previous job discovered her mute button wasn't working on her headset which she'd used to cover a cough. It had long been her habit to mute her headset and insult the customers she was speaking to..
No one knows just how long the mute button had been broken for

Some libelous comments about me here from one of my technicians, cc'ing me on on an email to a user. Calling her names can't help either:

Sorry For not getting back to you on Friday.

I have spoken with chris and he is going to sort out your laptop. As you have previusly disgust with him , he will set it up with the necessary network facilities you need.

Hi Mark

Many thanks for your email. We are currently in the process of developing a new website and have taken into consideration compatibility with all of the other browser platforms that are available for public use.

Chrome is still making its mark in the marketplace and there are other browsers which continue to be more popular with users, but of course this does not mean that we will be excluding it from our future development.

Many thanks for your comment.

Kind Regards,
BBx
Marketing Department

Hi BBx

I had a point to make, of course I am not market researcher to conclude trends so I appreciate your email.

By the way, I have 90% of colleagues and friends who use Chrome all the time now.

Chrome is more popular than safari and opera right now afaik, and when you think safari is the defualt choice for all macs then that gives it some perspective. Still were only talking a few percent of the whole market, but the market is MASSIVE.

Before I turn grammar Nazi, is his first language English or not?
If it is then he really needs to learn to form proper sentences!

As an aside, your email seemed fine to me. Acknowledging his feedback and saying Chrome will be taken into consideration for future developments which makes sense to me

BBx · 13-01-2010, 14:41

Phew! Good

I hate smartasses! So have chosen to close the query now

yes Haly I think he is trying to be English!

90% of his mates I don't think I know 1 of mine that uses it.

Pfft to him! but I spoke to my web dev company just to check and apparently all their new sites aren't Chrome compatible :/ as they are still watching its progress in the marketplaces aswell...

Cheers guys
