  1. this just shows how crap #Currys have become - they could have avoided this PR disaster by dealing with the competition winner a lot quicker (and even mildly amusing news coverage due to him sharing his family name with that of the manufacturer)

  3. Currys are so full of shit.

    I reported on eBay that I hadn't received my item and Currys tried to blame Royal Mail.

    Whenever I tracked it, Royal Mail said they hadn't even received it. Now that I've reported it, a miraculous miracle of epic proportions has occurred, Royal Mail now appear to have my package and are delivering it tomorrow.

    A Christmas miracle...

  4. I asked 4 chefs their favourite mushroom recipes and they didn’t agree

  6. Is it me or does the current #Currys advert imply that their technical 'experts' are just full of air?

  7. It's so difficult to make ethical choices when purchasing.

    My washing machine 'died' mid-week, though after at least 20 years service I suppose it doesn't owe me anything. I cdn't buy the model I wanted at my preferred store so I reluctantly bought from #Currys (UK).

    The next morning I received a faux service call and the guy proceeded to try to sell me insurance. I tried to stop his spiel, but he just carried on with his script. After 4 "No thank you"s, at increasing volume, I hung up.

    GAH!

  9. Trying to find a replacement #woodburning kit based on recommended brands by the instructor of a course my wife gave me.

    Always check things *very well* before buying. I found two deceptive sites redirecting search results to fake websites, both with the #currys logo on them.

    I haven't added alts, as I don't want to give these fake #scam sites more exposure.

    No phone calls in or out for a few days.
    The 3 network are turning off 3G services and it appears to be knocking everything else out.
    Beyond awful.

  12. For today's #AudioMo let's explore #Currys in #Westfield shopping center with Jake, recorded on 5 Jan 2024. I used to do this kind of electronic exploration with my brother Dwayne many years ago before he became a dad and moved out of London, now I get to enjoy such geeky bonding time with my son instead. We both love stuff like this. Jake is 14 and very much enjoys similar things to his dad. onj.me/media/20240105-Explorin

  14. #Asafoetida auch als #Asant oder Teufelsdreck bekannt, ist ein Gewürz, das aus dem Gummiharz von Asant-Pflanzen stammt und in der indischen #Küche häufig verwendet wird[1][2]. Es findet Verwendung in verschiedenen Gerichten, wie #Kormas, #currys Fleisch- und Gemüsegerichten, Reisgerichten, Pickles, Soßen, #Chutneys und Hülsenfruchtspeisen[1]. In der Küche Nord-Indiens wird Asafoetida auch in Fleisch- und Gemüseeintöpfen verwendet[2].

  16. 1/2 Epic fail in last week. Specs of not displayed on shelf. Asked salesperson to confirm whether M1 or M2. Said person unlocked session on one, to a screen full of running apps and waiting prompts (script kiddies playing around with OSA). Incapable of shutting them down without rebooting, so showed them how. Then showed them how to find the sysinfo. Salesperson admitted they knew nothing about macOS. 🤦‍♂️

  17. Customer: I bought a new PC.

    Me: Okay, great!

    Customer: On a deal with #Currys cloud backup and five years of #McAfee.

  19. Permit me to share a double-facepalm moment.

    • Sent TV to Currys for repair, dutifully packaged with all original parts, including the screws to attach the stand.
    • TV returns a week later, repaired, but minus the pack of screws.
    • Contact Currys repair service to ask them to send screws.
    • Repair service advises (after slow exchange of emails) that screws cannot be posted.
    • Rather than post the screws, they want to arrange a courier to collect the TV, return it to the workshop, find the screws, then put the screws back in the TV box and send back the TV (which will no doubt take another week).

    It's like six machine screws. Argh!
