I wonder if the cops made fun of his small penis during the strip search?

Mike

Heh! I damn well hope so! XD

Quoth AdvancedFlea

this is impressive how, exactly? in terms of money spent or i should fall over with my legs in the air, all a quiver at the thought of your manly machine.

I know! XD I very nearly said to him "Mate, I drive a £10 grand fucking CORSA. Do you think anybody gives a damn? No. It's a CAR, it goes from A to B, has 4 weels, an engine, Air con and a CD player. thats all I really care about."

No, they didn't.

Snip

Oh, and the store doesn't press charges, they make a complaint and the CPS press the charges.

[/legal lesson]

I could have sworn I heard "trespassing" but meh *shrug* it matters not. He went away in a police car which was fun to watch.

[crazylegs]

They did turn up with the police, who arrested him for trespassing.

No, they didn't.

There is *no* law in the land that allows the police to arrest for simple trespass. Aggrevated Trespass (where the presence, or actions of the person prevents another from undertaking a lawful activity they are entitled to do) is an offense, but simple trespass ("Damn kids, get off my lawn" type) is not an offense.

He may have been arrested under public order offenses (Sec. 5/4a/4 or possibly 13 (I think...)).

SC: *Ignoreing Flea* Look mate, I drive a 42 grand car. Everything has to be just right for me and this isn’t right.

tells me you think with the wrong head during purchases; my car was half that, and a fine piece of machinery to boot.

on the lines of what mike is thinking, if everything must be right, then he has a lifetime membership/subscription to enzyte to enhance that area which 'isn't quite right.'

I'm typing this from an Aspire ONE right now. And I'd just like to say:

Hey!

I resemble that remark, too! An Aspire X3200.

It's a more powerful and was less expensive that the machine that it replaced. And I'm finding that I'm preferring the Phenom processor to anything that Intel makes.

[AdvancedFlea]

Want to guess who's computer has lasted the longest
)

heh, I think I can guess. Funny thing is that eMachines DO have a quirk about them. if the PSU blows, it WILL blow the motherboard. I had 2 eMachines in the past and knew about this so always bought new PSUs when I bought the PCs. one of them is nearly 10 years old and is STILL going strong

Plus - he drives a $46000 car and buys a cheap laptop? Wierdo.

Some people are like that though. Our head of marketing and operations makes £50 000 a year but carries his Medion Laptop around in a Tescos carrier bag lol

[Yfandes]

Yeah - we still have an Acer laptop in the family that just will not die. Hubby bought it for cheap and used it for two years. I inherited it and dragged it around the world for three years. Then I gave it to my (computer illiterate but on it all the time) BFF in Ireland two years ago and its still going strong!

Given that the components are made by only a handful of manufacturers, I don't think the brand name on the final product really matters. I mostly buy HPs but I did get an e-machine once and I ended up screwing it up myself. The guy sounds like a tool.

[smileyeagle1021]

In his defense, at one time Acer was regarded as pure crap...

.

same thing with E-Machines... my floormates at USU gave me a hard time for buying an E-Machines... I laughed it off and said "hey, it's cheap, I can tinker around with it, and if I complete destroy it in the process I"m only out a few hundred"

Want to guess who's computer has lasted the longest
Yeah, I've had to add more memory and replace the cd/dvd drive, but I now have a 4 year old computer that still holds it's own... it's like a freaking Toyota, it will keep going until I do something so stupid that *I* kill it

[AdvancedFlea]

I usually ignore the "advice" of anyone that I don't know to be a reliable source, like family and friends.

I dunno, With me it depends on what I think of the person and how much I know that they know. If they are reasonably sharp, I'll listen to them But his friends obviously wernt

Even if he doesn't get a criminal record out of it, because it was the retail park which filed trespass charges, rather than your store, he could wind up being banned from all retail parks owned by that company rather than just your store (which he obviously wouldn't shop at again anyway).

aah the issue is that Alstom retail parks only own 4 parks

any possibility of pressing libel/slander charges due to him stating that the store sells crap without proof to back him up?

Nah, he was doing it on retail park property, NOT ours, sadly.

Oh HELL yeah, I remember that time. but like you said, they sharpened up. He should have done his research

A man that uses his car as a status symbol...
Once again, money can't buy class..

Score one for the good guys!

I know. Fucking morons...and yes, Good guys RAWK!

All that because he didn't remove a sticker? Moron.

Heh, you took the words right out of my mouth and the mouths of everybody who works for TechDirect (We told some of the field engineers who said EXACTLY the same thing)

[PepperElf]

i bet his co-workers will laugh at him even more

then again they were probably only laughing at him, not because of the computer, but because he was trying to show off how cool he was.

[Bright_Star]

All that because he didn't remove a sticker? Moron.

[Slytovhand]

More to the point, he might have looked a right dick to them before (for buying an Acer), but he's really going to cop crap from them now for being a complete moron!



hehehehehe

A man that uses his car as a status symbol...

Pwned by the police when he tried to protest a store even though he doesn't look "cool" in front of his friends? Priceless.

So because he tried to be a big arse about the whole thing, he's got legal issues. That's freaking awesome!

Score one for the good guys!

These days they're affordable AND good, something I never would have thought possible. They're even selling reasonably priced laptops in WALMART of all places! I almost jumped all over a $350 laptop that had 3 gigs of ram, a decent HD, decent cpu, and Windows XP Pro recently... from Acer. The only reason I didn't is they were out of stock at the moment.
