StevieM Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 It's called insomnia actually. Well, actually that's far too grand a term for it. I just had trouble kipping last night so after failed attempts to nod off I decided it would be easier to head into work rather than risk dropping off so close to when I'm supposed to get up that I sleep straight through my alarm. You get loaaaads done early in the morning when there's no-one else here though - I highly recommend it (not the "insomnia" part though). Al Awww... You've spoiled the vision. I'd imagined a cheery Al, in his blue and white striped pyjamas, waking from a good night's sleep and, after a b-i-i-i-i-i-i-g stretch, reaching under his pillow to produce his VeryPC Thinbook, going to straight to the Stock2ber thread (set as his homepage) and posting. 1

sparkeh Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Guess the lack of response means no meat free sweets for sparkeh...

Is it too much to ask for vegetarian sweets? (Haribo are not you see). :-)Veggie sweets - got it. Al Pay attention that man! Al TBF, the thread is flowing by at a deceptively slow and easy to digest rate today. Edited November 5, 2013 by VeryPC
sparkeh Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Nope, you missed it: Pay attention that man! Al Eh?! There's a whole page of stuff there that I didn't read - oops, sorry
featured_spectre Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Al...whats the ETA on the prizes to be sent? I might have missed it @VeryPC
hallb15 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I sometimes get a message that seems to suggest the post has failed, but if I hit back and refresh, there it is! Al I get this as well - thought it was just me!
VeryPC Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 Al...whats the ETA on the prizes to be sent? I might have missed it @VeryPC No you've not missed it. Just a bit of a delay on sending the prizes out for STOCKTOBER2! The last of them will be going out in the next few days though. Sorry for the wait. Al 1

StevieM Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Expecting delivery of two Broadleafs (Broadleaves?) today! Really looking forward to seeing how they perform. 1

StevieM Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 If they have a pen strapped to them, send them back ...and just keep the pen! Great idea!
hallb15 Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Expecting delivery of two Broadleafs (Broadleaves?) today! Really looking forward to seeing how they perform. I had the same Broadleafs/broadleaves conversation with Col this week! If yours are anything like ours they'll be amazing! All staff love the etched front bezel and of the 8 PCs in the staff room, the 4 Broadleaves are always the first to be used. No-one wants the Fujitsu E400s anymore 3
StevieM Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Just had a phone call from our reception staff to tell me that the computers have arrived. I SO had the urge to shout "BRING ME THE BOX!" (but I resisted). Edit: Yaaaaayyyy!! My "BRING ME THE BOX!" t-shirt was neatly packed inside the first box. Thanks @VeryPC Al.

I'd like to have seen your receptionist's face if you had have shouted that! I can imagine what our office staff would have said! Don't forget to post a photo of you wearing the shirt!
