MI3

Saw Mission Impossible 3 - mostly stupid if briefly entertaining bollox - some amazing action sequences, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman was great (as he was in 25th State) and makes a good baddy...pretty implausible in places though.

Still Mission Impossible as I said is an irony magnet and is linked in part to my friendship with Kirk so we have to go (I saw the first one the day before I came out to him, and missed the opening weekend because I was busy getting it on for the first time ;-)

This latest one although better than MI2 (not hard) is still pure action fluff...and Simon Pegg has only a brief role although he does help save the day!

XMen 3 looks more like good summer blockbuster fodder, but I guess the muted launch over here means it might be shit...

iRiver woes part 3,445,454

Hmm, still getting fobbed off by Musical Vision - sounds like it's going to be a credit and has been approved by iRiver but the hold up is the guy at their head office is ill and of course NO-ONE ELSE can deal with it. And the guy I've been dealing with was away for 2 weeks and no-one took it on, and it's another 'phone tomorrow' as I've been getting all week.

Actually for the last several weeks.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It's sunny, warm, and I'm off work early, but this makes me want to throw things.

Hard.

If I don't get joy tomorrow, I'm doing the recorded letter(s), and getting (or finding) the details of these mythical head office fuckers.

Let's see them deal with the nasty letter writer from hell...

Sad thing is I had a feeling this would happen, I don't know anyone who's had the sort of happy smiley let's all skip to lala land experiences with support that crop up on forums when you mention bad things - I suspect it's stealth support staff doing a bit of positive PR rather than working...I gave up on minidiscs because I bought 2 in short sucession which both died, and Sony and Sharp literally couldn't repair them and kept sending them back unfixed until I got bored (5 times to be exact in the case of Sharpserv - and that was the least used and 'youngest' unlike the Sony which probably was wear and tear). I just thought the technology was too flakey to be used (these were top of the range recording models too).

Why is support SO bad? 3-4 weeks turnaround is terrible to start with...let alone 2 months.
