HP service and UPS! (re: http://www.sevenforums.com/chillout-room/210773-today-9-a-3.html#post1766378)

Had to send one of my two HP Envy 17 laptops to service. I was told it takes maximum of two weeks, so Thursday 9th I called HP and told they can pick up the laptop anytime. According to UPS tracking sitem they have got the pick up order from HP only about one hour after my call. This far everything OK.

But then UPS needed 4 days to deliver it 500 kilometers away, 4 days for an express delivery (HP told me that as a premium customer, all shipping is automatically express). And now I called to ask whats happening, HP customer service told me service has written on my ticket they expect to receive parts needed on 7th of March, 4 weeks after I sent the laptop. BTW, customer service did not know which parts are needed or what's wrong with my laptop...

I have been a loyal HP customer longer I care to think. I have always been happy for the HP customer service. Everything between me and HP has always worked. But now I am thinking to throw away all our HP's.

That really sucks.
However, this is what they think about their services:

My girlfriends 2am "My computer wont work!!" calls

I would not be annoyed at all!. That's a lady's heart calling and not the computer prob.

I get really riled and annoyed when people quarrel!

Classic stuff Greg, chuckle.

Why do you have large blank space in your posts?

The response.

Helium?

Talkin of gas, I discovered on TV tonight that our star, the Sun, consists of 75% hydrogen, 24% helium and trace elements that make up the remaining 1%.

Incredible though it may seem, the star burns off 4,000,000 tons of gas (mass) per second to give us our energy and warmth here on Earth.

Apparently, it's good for another 5billion years, so no need to panic just yet.

SV,
When I eat chili beans I to give off that much gas!
Wonder if I will still be playing golf 5 billion years from now?

Dunno about that Dennis.

However, it reminded me of the three Irishmen who decided to build a space craft to land on the Sun.

When it was pointed out they'd get burned to a frazzle, they replied: "We've thought of that. We're going at night."

And suns are fusion machines that create heavier elements in the periodic table. I understand supernovas produce even the most heavy elements.
So you are literally made from old stars/suns. That's heavy stuff.

SV,
I was one of the three Irishmen!
We took of from the Cape and made a pit stop on the moon where we got
drunk at a Pub and never did find our spaceship. Must have been the altitude.

Well, I'm just pleased to see both "protaganists" offer a generous apology that was gracefully accepted by both - as it should be.

Now, can anyone explain how it's right for my good lady to shout at me, but I'm not allowed to shout back?

This has been going on for nearly 50 years now and I'm getting mightily pissed off with it!!

Mate thats what you get for your 7/6d what did you think you were paying for? If it's any consolation Andrew my 7/6d lasted 38 years - actually why don't you get an iPod and drown it out?:roflmaor get a very expensive divorce - like me

Oh thought you might ask that G it's seven shillings and sixpence I couldn't find the pound symbol and pence used to be marked as a small "d" as in sixpence = 6d (and I just know you are going to ask lol!!) (plus the lead guitar player in Queen used these for guitar picks) there are twelve pence to a shilling and twenty shillings to a pound thats 240 pence to the pound or 480 half pennies (1/2d pronounced haypunny) ten two bobs (two shillings or florin) eight half crowns - 2/6d and eighty three-pences - 3d (pronounced thrrrupance) to the pound and nine hundred and sixty farthings 1/4d (pronounced as is) and just before my time were groats which were I think were worth fourpence 4d (long defunct).

Now, that's what I call proper money. It was actually worth something, and its buying power was relatively stable. Ever since decimalisation (15th Feb 1971), the value of money has been going ever downwards as inflation has caused prices and the cost of living to rise to heights never imagined in the good ol' days.
