[VeryPC_Tom_M]

You're on Tom. Fold that shizzle!

 

Coloured in (yay!) and folded!

 

I find these are cooler though! Star Wars Origami

[VeryPC_Tom_M]

Yikes! that looks complicated - another one for @VeryPC_Tom_M I think

 

Ooo! Access to glue and sharp things today too?

 

The day's looking better and better!

[VeryPC]

Gooooooooooooooooooooood morrow gentlefolk!

 

It's time to reveal today's prize and winner from The VeryPC Madvent Calendar. Oh, and we got some new Christmas lights too.

 

Quick reminder - to enter Madvent, you must email a no obligation quote request to [email protected] with 'Madvent' in the subject and include your Edugeek username and professional contact details too. If it's IT related, we can probably get it at a great price for you, so you can ask for mostly anything (PCs, tablets, laptops, peripherals, components, software, networking etc etc...)

 

ALSO - we have a pre-Xmas offer on Lenovo and Samsung Laptops exclusive to Edugeek - click for the thread here: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/our-advertisers/105834-exclusive-laptop-deals-edugeek.html

So... Christmas Haribo for everyone?

 

 

Every time I see that Baileys, I think of Old Gregg.

Thanks must go to @VeryPC_Tom_M for the work on that one. He's considering the origami Pokemon thingy @X-13 submitted too, but work has not yet begun in earnest.

but work has not yet begun in earnest.

 

I think they're secretly doing a risk assessment on me running with scissors and eating glue sticks!

Hi All,

 

Thought I would quickly drop a line to say thanks to Tom at VeryPC for the prompt service in sourcing our printer and saving us around £150!! pound compared to our normal suppliers

 

Thanks Tom.

Morning and happy new Madvent week to you everybody!

 

I will reveal the winner of the 1st star prize in a moment, but first some notices:

 

I'm not being overly vocal about my happiness at winning yet because I am yet to find out if I have won the PC or if my employer has (at least as far as my employer / contract etc. is concerned).

 

 

Fingers crossed for me please everyone, I really do need a new PC.

[featured_spectre]

Home address ftw. If it arrives at work...its a personal order and nobody was home to collect.

[Guest TheLibrarian]

Home address ftw. If it arrives at work...its a personal order and nobody was home to collect.

 

I could have kept my big gob shut and done that but I have a tendency to stupid honesty.

[featured_spectre]

Then if you blabbed...its the schools. Tsk Tsk.

[Guest TheLibrarian]

I'm hoping they will let me keep it; it's not like they need​ it.

[Guest TheLibrarian]

The decision is in:

 

Official audit advice is that the PC belongs to the employer (in theory).

 

However! There isn't an official policy yet so:

 

 

 

 

 

THE PC IS MINE!

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you VeryPC!

And thanks to everyone who had crossed fingers too.

Actually the decorations only count as 1 extra entry in total I'm afraid, but either way if you do name the mystery VeryPC Ninja (and no, it's not Ezio, despite this:

) you'll definitely get an extra entry into the chassis (clue: he likes potatoes and Little-Miss thought he looked "sooooo bored" a few vids back).
