Mark Albrighton Posted May 1, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2018 Yep in my experience with my mates the ones who don’t like apple products are a lot more snobby about them and much more vocal in critiquing them. Maybe that’s because whatever they have is actually better than an iPhone. I honesty don’t know. I really couldn’t give a shit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them snatched at my ankles and while I could have said something to their owner I decided to mind my own business and keep running. «F*** off with your running!» the man shouted at me as I was already well out of their way. I turn around and say «so it’s my fault now, is it?» surprised as I was at being told off for running on a frigging footpath. «They don’t like it when people run» was his brilliant reply. Don’t bloody walk them on a public footpath before you’ve properly trained them then! I get this all the time. "It's your own fault for running, it upsets my dog". Dickheads.

They copied in my boss and my bosses boss with the sole intention no doubt of getting me into bother. Years ago I'd have been fretting and would have spoken to my manager all worried even though I know I hadn't done anything wrong. I'm not quite sure when my attitude changed... maybe its age or the fact i'm comfortable in the fact that I am good at my job but I basically 'replied to all' in the email and went to town! Called the sender out on his email of grossly incorrect assumptions and that he should perhaps check his facts before emailing me like that and embarrassing himself again. No doubt there will be some blowback on it but I'm not putting up with that bullshit. Tosser. Had a pretty similar experience myself today. It all started yesterday when I sent an email out company wide about a change of policy. Last night I got a pretty shitty email from the manager of one of our smaller offices (and I mean small), however she’s the CEO,s wife. She was having a pop at me for not consulting her over said policy change. i didn’t reply until hours later with a quick... “I was instructed to send the email by the owner and Company Secretary, speak to him” The Company Secretary then sent an email this morning saying, my email was correct, he made the change and I sent the email because that’s my job. In other words... don’t be having a pop at me because I’m doing my job 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall just a few nights ago, a certain @lapal_fan going off on one over whatsapp because I said I was getting a MacBook. His advice was to get a PC. cheaper, faster, blah blah blah bore off. What year is it? 1997? The only people I know that have PCs are ultra-gamer-nerds and OAPs* *and presumably @lapal_fan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Streaming Music, dicking about on t'internet and writing the odd Office Document. It cost me £25, reconned from work. In fact, we have two of them. If I was still doing my photography, I'd buy another Mac. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Mine will be for music recording & production Bicks. My main issue with a PC is that my studio is quite small, so I don't think I have room for the 2ft depth of the monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I asked for a small drone (more like a toy helicopter) with a camera for my birthday a few months ago. It's one you can control from your phone, and see through the camera. It's bloody difficult to fly, but I'm hoping to fly it down from my studio (in the loft), down two flights of stairs and onto the ground floor where I will either attack my wife, or deliver a post-it note that says 'coffee please'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do desktop computers (with CRT monitors, rather than flatscreens) for home use even exist any more? Edited May 2, 2018 by mjmooney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
