matt40k Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Mr eBuyer : You want a kitchen ya? Why are they sending me a catugolue for a new kitchen? Oh, they have a sister company that sells kitchens, umm, wtf? How do you get from computer stuff to kitchens? Surely, computer = man, kitchen = ladys. No ofference. Can you explain the logic? Annoys me more as I live in a new build flat, which I rent. I though the Flat n in the address would have given it away? No? What about the delivery note of shared access? No? How green is that ? Where is my opt-out of junk mail ? Anyway, moan over, I'll waiting for the backlash of male computer geeks who love cooking
SteveBentley Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 But they'll send the kitchen by CityLink so you'll never actually get it anyway 1
jamesb Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Anyway, moan over, I'll waiting for the backlash of male computer geeks who love cooking I love cooking. Even went so far as to ask for a set of good cooking knives as a present. However, that doesn't mean if I've ordered some computer hardware I want a kitchen catalog to appear along with it.
Guest coquet636 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Gotta agree with you Matt40K I got the exact same catalogue and it just made me realise how bad my kitchen is....!!!! But why would i buy a kitchen recommended by a computer reseller........ its like getting advice for a car from the local butcher.....
matt40k Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 But they'll send the kitchen by CityLink so you'll never actually get it anyway I suppose if I order it now, got it on finance, I could have paid it off and moved into my own house. Might still have to pick it up from the depo tho.
sidewinder Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Ebuyer sell everything now, havent just done computers for ages Why would your address give it away? It's not someone looking through the addresses seeing who would look like they might want a kitchen, its a computer system mailing out on mass. It doesnt discriminate. Wasteful though I agree Oh and kitchens certainly do not = ladies
Guest Guest Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Oh and kitchens certainly do not = ladies Aye, i only know one women who knows her way around the kitchen, far too much girl power around for my liking! You let them off their chain for a minute...
dalsoth Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Had 3 of these kitchen brochures lately from them. Just more junk to bin. Poor trees.
Wils86 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 But they'll send the kitchen by CityLink so you'll never actually get it anyway Its soo true it hurts
Haptic Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Just to confirm CPLTD will not be stocking Kitchens lol;)
witch Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Surely, computer = man, kitchen = ladys. No ofference. Ah, but you can't just say something like that and get out of it by saying 'no offence' What IS the weather like on the planet you live on?? So, if computer= man, then what ARE all these females doing on the forum? Filing our nails and dreaming of new kitchens? I don't think so , darling

Yes, women work in IT, yes men buy and use kitchens. My comment was based on statistics, most men would buy IT stuff over a kitchen, anyway, just a comment on it seems strange that a IT company would start doing kitchens, just waiting for news report that ebuyer is buying out IKEA.

Sorry i'll have to disagree, the last thing (comupter vs. kitchen) i bought was some chopping boards and knives from ikea =D oooh and some shiny red weighing scales. and i also like looking at the kitchen brochures, even if it does end with a sigh and an "if only" :-(

Got to find a way to improvise a steamer for tonight, I've got about 2kg of mussels to cook.
Pyroman Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Nice to know I'm not the only one. Got to find a way to improvise a steamer for tonight, I've got about 2kg of mussels to cook. big pan full of water with a colender or seive over it (BUT NOT TOUCHING THE WATER) then a lid on top of the mussles in the colender, job done might need to cook in batches or a quick link to an instructable (which is pretty much what i said) http://www.instructables.com/id/Quick-Homemade-Steamer-Hack/ Edited June 10, 2009 by Pyroman 1
Lee_K_81 Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 the clue is in the name ebuyer. not PC components buyer. they are an online store not specifically an IT retailer. I bought my house 3 years ago and bought my microwave and vacuum from them! The non-IT stuff isnt a new trend. Besides maybe they'll be able to fully integrate IT into your kitchen. TV/Internet terminals embedded into the worktops, great for menus or watching tv while having your morning coffee, or a fridge that re-orders it's own stock from asda or tescos et al. Makes sense to me.
Pyroman Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 a fridge that re-orders it's own stock from asda or tescos wasn't this on tomrrows world like 10 years ago?
matt40k Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 the clue is in the name ebuyer. Alright, no need to bit my head off, just trying to vent some anger at the fact I'm getting junk mail with stuff I paid for. If we're getting picky, ebuyer used to be called FASTLINK COMPUTING LIMITED.
john Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Just to confirm CPLTD will not be stocking Kitchens lol;) but I want a CP Kitchen to keep my CP Mugs in from the conference 1
jamesb Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 but I want a CP Kitchen to keep my CP Mugs in from the conference You can get one from the MCPeStore, but the shipping's three times as much as the kitchen.
Haptic Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 but I want a CP Kitchen to keep my CP Mugs in from the conference Glad you like the mug fella,
Lee_K_81 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Alright, no need to bit my head off, just trying to vent some anger at the fact I'm getting junk mail with stuff I paid for. If we're getting picky, ebuyer used to be called FASTLINK COMPUTING LIMITED. Sorry Matt, wasnt trying to bite your head off, was just doing a bit of trolling.. Did try and warn with the smilies. I would also be annoyed at ebuyer passing my details to a "sister" company. Didnt know ebuyer used to be called by any other name. Learn something new every day. wasn't this on tomrrows world like 10 years ago? Yeah they do do them, but their not very practical. I suppose their a bit like mini-bars in hotels. Everything needs to go into a specific spot and then it registers that an item is missing.
DAckroyd Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 Just to confirm CPLTD will not be stocking Kitchens lol;) that's a shame... will you be stocking bathrooms, or selling conservatorys and double glazing?
