NEW CAMERAS, SMILING AT MEN AND STRANGE THINGS ON TUBE
Thursday 12 April 2007
So I trundled to the Jessops plcae to see a man about a dog well no actually to see a man about my broken camera.
'Hello Mr Jessops man. This is my camrea *puts camera on counter* I haven't used it for about 2 months and this weekend when I took it on holiday to use it just sort of well didn't want to. It clunked at me.'
' Hmmm ok. Did you check the batterries?'
'Yes that is the first thing I did.'
You see Camera fixers are sort of like people that work in IT. They don't like daylight and when you ask them for help they always make the most blindingly obvious solution for example Camera man said the above - IT people say 'Have you tried Ctrl, Alt, Delete?'
So he mucked around with brushes and all sorts of crazy things and then said:
'Nah I can't fix it. If you really want it fixed then you can send it off but it's going to cost you anything from £40 to £100 and personally for a camera like this I'd just buy a new one. It's a very old model now and it wasn't the greatest one to start with.
So I blush mumble thank you and walk out with my tail between my legs. Well that told me. So if anyone fancies sending me money so I can buy a decent camera that'll be great.
As I have been reflective of late I decided that today because the sun was shining and I was looking fairly hot today - I've lost a bit more weight and I was wearing a clingy top with a pencil skirt that if I spotted a guy checking me out and I thought he was dishy I'd smile at him and give a bit of eye flirting. I don't normally do that - I'm too shy - but you know what it was so much fun! I smiled and eye flirted with three blokes and I felt great for it!
After my smiling and eye flirting I jumped onto a tube home when the guy opposite me started sticking a key in his ear. Was all very weird. I'm not sure why you would use a key to clean your ear out.
Can you tell that I've had a few drinks? It's all Lizzie's fault.

Rhys - So you work in IT IT? Not writing loads of boggling lines of jibberesh as it appears to us mere mortals? You fix people's PCs?

"They don't like daylight and when you ask them for help they always make the most blindingly obvious solution"
Remind me never to say yes when you need some geeky stuff doing :P
And there is a reason we say the blindingly obvious solution - 9 times out of 10 people don't do it :P
