VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Sutherland?! He works for VeryPC? Holy pause balls, first Morgan Freeman advertises you and now Kiefer Sutherland. Working for VeryPC must be like hanging around Hollywood. Yeah, "Hollywood": https://www.google.co.uk/maps?ll=53.508876,-0.672913&spn=0.37772,1.047134&cbp=12,288.29,,1,9.4&layer=c&panoid=c87zd-IanjKEdLNMgBd-Dg&cbll=53.53352,-0.714422&t=h&z=11 Al
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 As they come through the door give them the wink and the gun and say "Great meeting guys" I know! That's what we'll do! It's a little thing, but because of EduGeek we now get to do it. Ooooooh, they'll be so confused for about 3 seconds, it'll be brilliant! I'm not even being sarcastic. This is all it takes to make my day. Al
featured_spectre Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Al...when are my goodies being sent as I need to know to arrange someone to be home to accept delivery :-)
LeightonJames Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Very PC sounds like a cool place to work. Al, are you hiring
X-13 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah, "Hollywood": https://www.google.co.uk/maps?ll=53.508876,-0.672913&spn=0.37772,1.047134&cbp=12,288.29,,1,9.4&layer=c&panoid=c87zd-IanjKEdLNMgBd-Dg&cbll=53.53352,-0.714422&t=h&z=11 Al Seems like a great place for quad biking... or paintballing... Or both. VERYPC MOUNTED PAINTBALL TOURNEMENT! Make it happen.
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Al...when are my goodies being sent as I need to know to arrange someone to be home to accept delivery :-) Just need to get the official "I want my prize" or "I want the T-shirts" PMs sent and received back so we can organise what is being sent out. We'll give everyone the chance to nominate their delivery address and give them notice on the arrival date too. I want to do it properly via PM as it's easier to keep track that way - it's too easy to miss stuff when scrolling back through the thread. Keep an eye on your inbox. Cheers, Al
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Very PC sounds like a cool place to work. Al, are you hiring Not right at this exact time, no, but we keep growing and getting busier, so you never know! Hardly anyone ever leaves VeryPC once they start working here, so our staff turnover rate is really low, but the family has had a few new members recently. Al Edited October 17, 2013 by VeryPC

Working for VeryPC must be like hanging around Hollywood. You know what, I just went on the website to get the address (Colin seemed to think Liverpool to Lincolnshire was "not too far" so I was going to Google Maps it to show Just How Far) and I just noticed that Joss Whedon works for them as well.

sonofsanta Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 There's also Agent 47 on customer service, apparently. Agent 47: "Tom": "Customer service trouble shooter extraordinaire" suddenly becomes quite a menacing turn of phrase. I tell you what, there's loads of fun to be had here. 1
sonofsanta Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) @VeryPC_Colin_M: The Master: I could keep on, but I think I should let someone else have the fun now. EDIT: woohoo for page 100 Edited October 17, 2013 by sonofsanta 2
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 We also have Agent 47 from Hitman: [TABLE=width: 500] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD]Agent 47[/TD] [TD]@VeryPC_Tom_B[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]

VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 woohoo for page 100 You bet! Been looking forward to triple figures all day today - knew we'd make it! Al

Al He should maybe consider a different tie, unless he wants everyone to think he's a brainwashed international assassin. But then I imagine such an impression can come in handy. Also, clearly, two separate people coming to the same conclusion is proof and he can no longer deny it.
StevieM Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Hardly anyone ever leaves VeryPC once they start working here What, in a kind of 'Hotel California' way? :shudder: By the way, just had a quote for a couple of Broadleaf Ones for the staffroom. Nice! Just need the bursar to sign off the order in the morning and we're good to go. 1

VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 BTW - I don't think I've missed it, but if anyone noticed @MrLudwig choosing their box number and it escaped my notice please point it out to me. This thread whizzes by so fast I'm becoming concerned that I may miss key details. I have PMed the winner, but it looks like they've not had a chance to make their selection yet, so we'll crack on with the videos on Monday morning and have an extra prize reveal when appropriate. See you all tomorrow, Al x
LeightonJames Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 When did you PM him Al, he was last active at 4:34 PM today:
VeryPC_Colin_M Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 VeryPC is most certainly a cool place to work However, it's the customers that keep our daily working lives awesome and the job so good. So... Become a customer and keep us awesome? Doesn't sound right. 1
VeryPC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 When did you PM him Al, he was last active at 4:34 PM today: [ATTACH=CONFIG]21002[/ATTACH] Earlier than that by a couple of hours. I'm sure he'll turn up before too long, and if not, I have other avenues of attack. Al
mac_shinobi Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 So Colin needed to reset his password and required that it contained at least 1) A Capital 2) 8 Characters 3) At least one number He chose 1) London 2) Alan, Emma, Colin, Adam, Andy, Simon, Tom & Frenchy 3) Nine No wonder he kept forgetting his password 2
kearton Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Yesterday I was at my local supermarket buying a large bag of Winalot dog food for my loyal pet and was in the checkout queue when a woman behind me asked if I had a dog. On impulse I told her that no, I didn't have a dog, I was starting the Winalot Diet again. I added that I probably shouldn't, because I ended up in hospital last time, but I'd lost 2 stone before I woke up in intensive care with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IVs in both arms. I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pockets with Winalot nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry. The food is nutritionally complete so it works well and I was going to try it again. Horrified, she asked me if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no, I stepped off the kerb to sniff an Irish Setter's backside and a car hit me... 2
mac_shinobi Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 @VeryPC Where do I sign up for a job? I'm wondering that as well - also do you get staff discounts ? Al or someone from @VeryPC ??
