I'm going for a hair cut in half an hour. And it's my first one for 4 and a half months!! Oh... how random is this?! Just felt like sharing my silly news!

I hope you will be posting a photo of your new gorgeous self...

I ought to go for one myself, although I'm not too keen on going since the time he made me look so ridiculous that I had to return later in the week to have it put right.

Yay! I just had a hair cut too! I was in the hairdressers for three hours! I nearly starved to death!

Congratulations!

That's the most interesting thing I've heard all day!

For a "random" thread, this one is sticking remarkably closely to a single subject ...

I'm right on it!

So, what do we all think of scanners?

Don't get me started!!! I spent a good half hour today fighting one.

Anyone opinions on Mobile Phones?

My mobile phone isn't a scanner, though I have seen a phone that can have a scanner plugged in and can have things scanned on...

Scanners are evil. So are the mobile phones. All such items within the Sainsburys building are baaaaaaaad.

Was it in Sainsburys that you were engaging in epic war with your scanner?

Strangely enough... And the mobile phone! The scnner wouldn't scan, then wouldn't stop scanning, then totally ignored me, then wouldn't scan, then wouldn't stop scanning, then totally ignored me....... Thankfully I didn't have to do a lot with it!! The mobile phone fooled me into thinking it had put the person who called me through for someone else to deal with, 30 seconds later 'I got cut off...' argh!!!!

Why were you being forced to argue with consumer electronics?

No these were provided by the company, the scanner checks that the price is the same on the product as the till and the mobile because the phones only ring in the office, but if I'm out on the shop floor working that isn't a lot of use. By the way, the scanners have some variant of a windows system on them. Thats probably the root of the problem... that and that the application requires installing whenever you turn it on and is written in Visual Basic.

in what way is this thread random?

and supposing a good explanation can be found, how do you know that there isn't a more 'random' thread?

Stop diverging! We've done that once already!


Is it compiled?

I'm allowed to diverge randomlyas it is a random thread. Unfortunately I can only diverge psuedo-randomly but it's a start.

The thread is random, but the content is consistent!

Somewhere. Don't ask me where - at the moment I only care that it works, not how it does! (I've only been at this a week!)

Edit: Quotes.....

I'll leave you 2 to randomise this thread further, I'm off now!

Why is it that when I tidy my bedroom, it seems to get messier before it gets cleaner...?

I suppose I could spout out pseudo random numbers using my python script...
