OT how to waste 40 quid

totally off topic this BTW , but here is what 'a friend of mine' did
this week... quite a good way to burn money this if you are that way
inclined

1. firstly go to the shop and buy a funky new fangled Ukash voucher
worth 40 quid

2. use said voucher to obtain a 30 dollar Icard from a certain web
page

3. exchange icard for bandwidth at a certain very questionably naughty
Rusky music site

4. spend all balance downloading songs with provided explorer tool
whilst away from PC

5. get home and find that most of them are corrupted and don't play,
5.1 realise there is little hope of user support
5.2 in frustration bang head against wall

6 decide is was the explorer program at fault and that it'll be ok to
download one at a time..
6.1 try x-rost issued Ukash change voucher for remaining 20 quid and
find that x-rost web page will not accept it, it's not valid or has
been stolen,,, obviously.. since they emailed it to me.
6.2 see 5.1 and 5.2

7 try to check voucher at ukash web page, email ukash support
7.1 see 5.1 and 5.2

8 wait and see if any of these web pages have real people behind them
who can sort out problems. Meanwhile assume that you have been royally
ripped off and log onto amazon.co.uk to buy some CD's with a credit
card.


seriously though, this whole episode was a total waste of time and
money, You, my fellow bikers have been warned.

oh, there was one thing actually, I was wandering if any one rode
through a thunderstorm today, we had some of the heaviest rain I've
ever seen around our place. I bet someone got their jeans wet... come
on own up.

So you're buying music from dubious sources and you're surprised when
they steal your money too?

How quaint.

wow they just gave me 60usd credit I take it all back

 

Oh good, so we can expect more stories on how you squander your money
pointlessly to look forward to. I can't wait.

On a plus note, it makes fitting out the shed with cheap tool porn so much
more justified on a personal level.

 

he says it's working ok now, I don't know why he bothers either, tut
tut, poor starving artists cant afford to buy a new 4b4
