Just a little rant
Parcel2Go have let me down twice now, meant to have a parcel collected yesterday, courier didnt show, rearranged for today no show again.
They were meant to pick my DGAS up which sold on ebay on tuesday night. I was hoping to get it to the bloke by the weekend, thats not going to happen
now. What a pain in the arse!
Sorry, its just pissed me off...as its also wasted 2 days hanging about for the courier as well!

i'll have a rant too, if i may! 
Bloody ipods, crap instructions, and most annoyingly of all (petty i know) there is no option of English (UK) on the install menu, and that really
annoys me. English (USA) is the only option, and thats just not right  Oh, and it seems to be on auto update so every time i plug it in it
automatically adds all my tunes, which is beginning to pisss me off as well...

I'm sure in iTunes, Edit/preferences click on iPod and there should be an option for you to manually update your iPod rather than auto
update. I have done this on mine so i know it's there somewhere.
As for iPods being "biggest abortion out" well although i love mine and touch wood so far it has been brill i have to agree. People buy
them because they are cool and there are better cheaper MP3 players out there.

I dont know about World Cup Fever, but they're obviously all sick.
Honestly, 22 fully-grown men chasing each other around a park with an inflated pigs bladder. Watching paint dry seems infinitely preferable ...

The only thing good about the ipod is the product support. I've got a creative touch, brilliant player, wonderful sound and mega long battery
life. Down side, can I buy a docking station/craddle/speakers for it, can I b****ks.
I stayed in a hotel in the states that had a Bose alarm clock with Ipod docking station.................. grrrrrr
It Runs!!!!! Bring on the SVA!

IPods suck - see my previous postings on the subject... 
As for parcel2go, i appreciate they are a middle man. It was meant to be DHL picking up the parcel. Parcel2go always use them as far as i know! I have
sent stuff through them before, its always been DHL picking it up, and they have always collected on the right day.
I have complained to P2G, lets see what happens next...
I am tempted to send the parcel via std parcels now though. So then at least the guy will get the carb next week!

I've stopped using Parcel2Go as they let me down several times (sometimes for 2 or 3 days running. I go to the Post Office with most stuff
now.
Love my iPod and the Dension Ice Link! But I'll agree that there are better, cheaper options - it's just there are so many extras for
iPods.
Love football but thoroughly pi**ed off with the hype - I even want England to win but I'm not optimistic!
Grand Prix this weekend - let's hope it's not compromised by replayed football matches!
