Greased Lightning Showroom Shine

I've now run out of the Greased Lightning Showroom Shine - so why don't I order any more I hear you ask?

Well I have done, I ordered some from the Ideal World shopping channel that (other than their website) is the only place to buy it from (certainly the cheapest place to buy it from).

The problem is I ordered it over a month ago and they still haven't delivered it.

As I ordered it via their website I have reference number so I have emailed them quoting the reference number telling them how unhappy I am and that I have run out of the product and I haven't heard a thing.

I sent the email to them nearly a week ago now and to just ignore me is an absolute disgrace and extremely poor customer service.

My first order can within 2 weeks (still not that fast - but at least it arrived).

With regards to the shopping channels name, it is most definately not an Ideal World as if it was I would of had the items I ordered by now, or at least an appology as they're late - but so far nothing!  Not impressed, not impressed at all.

Greased Lightning Showroom Shine is such a great product but it's being let down by the disastrous people at Ideal World.

Safari Version 5

I'm currently downloading the latest version of Apples Safari (Version 5) which claims to be even faster than before - in fact it says it's the fastest most innovative web browser out there!

They've addded something called 'Safari Reader' which basically strips out all the adverts on a website so you can just read the article - that's bound to have an effect on websites who can only exist due to advertising revenue, no adverts shown then there's nothing to click on so websites go under :( also they seem to have done a deal with Microsoft as Bing search is now integrated in to it.

Is it any faster than before?  I'll find out once I've rebooted my laptop!

What Is The Point Of Twitter?

 

Ever since Twitter first began, I've never really understood the point of it all.  A few months ago I finally joined up to see what all the fuss was about and after entering a few 'tweets' I still couldn't work out what the point of it was.

I started to follow a friend of mine and soon knew when she was at work, when she was at home, if she was having dinner, getting a drink and a fair few other mundane pieces of information.

I just didn't get it.

I then started looking for some famous people to follow and that's when I started to realise what it's all about!

It's about following people that you find interesting and when you follow the right people you'll start to enjoy twitter and that's what I think it's all about!

I've even started following local business to me such as my local paper so I can see local headlines with a web link, if I want to read more I can click on the link else I just ignore it!

I've recently discovered the Lists function so I've now grouped together all the local people I'm following, people I actually know, famous people and funny people!

One of the people I'm following is @thekeithchegwin who tweets a lot of funny jokes and it made my day when I replied to one of his tweets saying I had just found him on Twitter and hadn't laughed so much in a long while and he sent me a reply!

I'm also following the lead singer of the band Twisted Sister @deesnider and he Re-Tweeted one of my comments and added to it!  In what other situation could I be chatting with a megastar like that?!

If you want to see the people I am currently following on Twitter then take a look at my lists here:

When it comes to Tweeting, I have decided not to Tweet about everything and anything but will mainly Tweet about the different day trips I go on along with the odd thing that I find interesting or relevant to me.
