A newish computer and peripherals shop in the former garage on Albert Rd, where Hebburn merges in to Jarrow. I bought a Bearpaw 2400TA Plus scanner there on my last holiday at home. It was cheap, less than £40. Will it run with Vista? Oh yes, no trouble, just go on Mustek's website. They'd also order a laptop, to be ready the next day, for only £340. Splendid. I told them it was really important that it was ready the next day: this was Thursday, and I was flying back to Libya on the Saturday, early. "It's as good as here," said the man. I rang them on the Friday to see if it was there. "I've been trying to get in touch with you. We can't do it." Ach, well, these things happen... I was in the Town, anyway, and got a Samsung Curry's were doing for £399. And now I'm back in Libya with an utterly useless scanner. No way, no how, will the fucker run with Vista. I've been googling all evening trying to find a solution. There is...
Exactly what I was just thinking.
ReplyDeleteIn the pipeline for ages.. but you're quite right...
ReplyDeleteDan Roan tweeted - Martin Jol leaves Ajax - new favourite for Newcastle job?
How you fancy that?
Martin Jol would do. I foresee a numpty, however.
ReplyDeleteThe way Ashley runs the club, only a numpty would be desperate enough to take the job. Jol would walk after a season.
ReplyDeleteThe news made me feel actually nauseous. Hughton had the potential to be an all time great Newcastle manager. We were all feeling so good about this season, weren't we? The highs were well outweighing the lows. Fuck knows what now.
ReplyDeleteI've spent the last year and a half wishing I was back home with a season ticket, now I'm glad I'm going to be on the other side of the world, watching sides I'm not emotionally attached too. Being a Newcastle supporter is a painful, existential affair.
Well, you've got Pardew (so it seems). What a mess...
ReplyDeleteWhere are you by the way?
I don't think it's a cert, yet, about Pardew...? I really can't see what that cunt has over Hughton, unless he's cheaper, or takes it up the arse, or something. Not that I feel strongly about this...
ReplyDeleteI'm still in Scotland, hoping it thaws so I can get my visa. Probably be in Shanghai by the end of next week.
well... enjoy the warmer weather if you get there...
ReplyDeleteI see Pardew just got a 5 and a half year contract with 'your boys'...
How the fuck did Ashley make his money, he seems like an idiot...
