Have you noticed he has edited most of his posts, the last one he edited due to a spelling mistake, whilst pointing out that spelling is not taught too well.

P.S. I still dont understand how it is Quidco's fault.

PLEASE HELP ME

I WANNA UNDERSTAND WAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!

I hate superior pr1cks on 'tinternet.

They are usually living in a bedsit, totally friendless with only a gimp mask and inflatable doll for company.
The sort of person who has one of those bluetooth thingys hanging out of there ear but never receive a call.
Drives a soft top car and has it down in the Winter whilst wearing a bobble hat and scarf and freezing to death.
They used to be in the Army but now work as a Security Guard in Top Shop.
They go on coach trips alone and bore the bejesus out of everyone within earshot.
They ask for peoples advice but do not listen to it unless it is what they want to hear.

I don't understand the attack on quidco either. As far as I can tell they're the only ones actually upholding their end of the deal by successfully tracking the transaction and therefore paying out on it. They have nothing to do with the actual transaction itself (they merely agree to pay you for those listed deals etc) and they don't have anything to do with passing on email because they track by cookies. Considering Quidco have actually done everything they meant to do, promised and is within their remit I'm not sure what the OP wants of them or is expecting from them.

They say Geography is not being taught too well anymore. Science is obviously a bit wobbly too

Is it?

One of my main interests is Meteorology (I think you'll find thats the word you were looking for). If you go above 3000 feet on Scotland this time of the year I think you'll find it's below freezing quiet a bit of the time. You'll find plenty of mountains in Scotland exceed this, they even have some over 4000 feet!

Didn't they teach you this in the 60's/70's?

Oh come on children

I guessed someone would have to pick me up on my edits - I have a dodgy keyboard, but I generally notice, like to correct and improve in the things I do, and I dare do it in public. Those aren't classic spelling mistakes like many of you have made which are just an indication of the poor state of state education in the last generation or two, and not your fault.

But the way so many of you cling to the every last term or condition that is deposited within your reach or floats by in the course of what passes for business in the UK in 2008, and then wave it like a banner of righteousness, is just plain dumb.

I actually skied a couple of times in Scotland. I had to pick my moments, as I don't think you can point to any glaciers of the type that might help keep the mammoths from thawing in that region for at least the last 10,000 years, now can you?

Yeah its a bit cold in the Cairngorms, but 4000 feet ain't exactly high and most days even Ben Nevis at 4400 and a bit doesn't come with as much as a 2 star rating like a 1960's icebox in a bog standard Electrolux fridge, now does it?

No, meteorology wasn't the word I was looking for, uktim, because I don't really want variable temperatures or a heap of fog or frost in my freezer. I want the Appliance of Science. Not necessarily a Zanussi, but something along those lines, ok?


And as for your outburst, or was it intended as a witty ditty, advent1122? How very Freudian it was - the way you went off on one there :rolleyes:

I can see Quidco is your friend, but not mine.

I went in and used Quidco when I'd never used Quidco before. Quidco won't be giving me cashback, will they? Despite their system apparently tracking some hot air labelled 'cashback sometime'. It's a bit sad because I expended effort on using Quidco to get a good deal on a freezer. Over a month later, I learn from someone else in the works that the whole transaction was nullified two weeks ago and no one had told me.

To me therefore, Quidco first and foremost are useless ('not fit for purpose' if you prefer one of Charles Clarke's more lasting utterances!). Shop.com are useless to me, and Tribal UK are probably selling freezers direct at prices they find suitable, but I don't know because their Customer Services line is useless to me. Is it all evidence of some systemic failure, I ask myself? Do I really care?

All these parties know I want to buy a freezer. Yet none can get it up, it seems. If anyone reading this is actually interested in supplying one, the one I want is a Lec U5026W and shop.com are still advertising it at the top of Google at the price I wanted.

As for superior pr|cks, well its just a question of knowledge, experience and a certain amount of laissez-faire really ... I was brought up in a two up two down council house, and another lad from the same street is an OBE now, but if you can't aim that high, Viagra might make you feel better.

Listen to yourself!

Yeah lovely bit of spurious prose, ain't it Somefink innit for evryone I shou'nt wonder ...

advent1122

...and not an edit in sight.

I was going to write a nice long reply, with loads of long words - but as I was brought up by rich parents in a nice house....waddayamean that is irrelevent.

MOVE AWAY FROM THE THREAD --- NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

Naw, he would have used lots more long words and then edited it to make it sound even more superior.

I never understand some people, even with EVERYONE telling him/her it is not Quidco's fault, somehow it is still QUidco's fault.

Yep folks, you heard it here first! Quidco ain't fit for my purpose , and my, look how the seagulls are all a flutter after I've ploughed my little furrow ,

I keep seeing the same ones every time I pick up my plough and drop it in again, there they are, squealing away, pecking at anything I turn over.
