Re: Windows 7 Activation failure

I might have figured out why it's not working. I downloaded some software to check the product key, and it also displayed the product ID. However, in Control Panel, the product ID is different and doesn't match. So I guess I need to change the product ID, not the product key itself.

Windows 7 Activation failure

I bought Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) on eBay from a respected seller with 100% approval rating over 250 products. I've had it running fine for a few days, but now a window pops up telling me I need to activate it (I'm using the 64-bit disc, by the way). I typed in the product key, and it said &quo...

Re: Bank Holiday weekend

Sadly, as I was doing today, I will be serving many of the 150,000 predicted customers coming to Stansted Airport tomorrow morning, who might want to shop in Boots. At 5am.

Re: Bad Headlines

Any attempt by a newspaper to turn a box office smash into a witty headline (e.g. "Potter movie casts a spell at box office"), or a sports-related article into a joke (e.g. "Friend or Defoe?") is automatically unfunny.

Re: London Oxford Airport?

Just to be pedantic, it's Stansted, not Stanstead.

Re: Shameless plug

Well, here's a shameless plug for my new blog. All about re-branding...What's a Santander? What is Aviva? And why get rid of Opal Fruits anyway?

Dare I post it over at TVF and cause implosion amongst many?

Nah, too humid. And it's a Tuesday.

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Michael Jackson dead at 50

Bad pun 1: Well, he's beat it.

Bad pun 2: He's dead. He's dead. He's really, really dead.

No idea. All I'm doing is sending off CVs to companies involved in either the media or advertising and hoping I get something there. I've got a summer job at Boots, but that won't last forever.

I graduated today

My degree result: a 2.2 in English and American Literature. Don't feel bothered though, just sort of "meh", for want of a better word. Perhaps it's because pretty much everybody else I know got firsts or 2.1s, or perhaps I know I could've done better, but mostly I think it's just that I do...

Re: whyPhone?

I was thinking of getting the iPhone 3G[S] before it was announced, since I've held off enough to want the third generation to replace my aging phone and iPod, but that update could've been so much more. I won't elaborate here, but I'll shamelessly plug my blog to direct you to my opinion of the WWD...
