How come when web sites have unreadable wiggly writing for you to copy to make sure you are not a bot the customer service replies clearly come from a bot?


I've copied out such writing wrongly on more than one occasion. I once got shut out of a website for a period of time for failing at this task three times in a row... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

Getting worried. Been tortured by G5 Sinfonia for months now, only to find that DS1 is now playing it all summer holidays for his G5 flute and when I called Howarths to enquire about second-hand bassoons they put me on hold to the sound of Sinfonia! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Now was that a sign to "step away from the bassoon purchase" or "go for it"? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Checked out the clari-bot vid and also saw this amazing guy .

I don't know much about sax / clari playing but to do both at once, and what appears to be circular breathing I though was pretty amazing

This is my first day off caffeine. I am weaning myself off by drinking fizzy water and then I'll wean myself off that too. My alcohol comsuption has gone down dramatically but my alcohol loving sister is down next week so that will not be a good week!

So expect a more foul MNW that spouts even more gobbledygook due to lack of concentration. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Traitors should hand over their bassoons to those in need i.e. Babboon Boy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

You know MNW flying around on caffeine and bringing yourself down on Alcohol isn't really that good for you... sounds like you have become rather good at it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Take care not to give yourself a rebound headache - bad news.

It sounds though that your sister is even better at consuming Alcohol though than you are (something not to be proud of)

Nothing wrong with fizzy water... a girl has got to have some pleasures (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Look after yourself (from someone who has made the same mistake as you in this department).

I've come off it and stayed off it for six months, only to start again which is rather pathetic! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) - at myself! I may also decide to go on a diet at some point (may) so I need to cut things out one at a time rather than all at once. So caffeine, booze, start exercise and finally food...sigh.

Sometimes it's better to say nothing and be thought an idiot than to speak and remove all doubt (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
