RE: TiVo - found one

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Yer a scumbag Stratton :P

You just had to mention they had some left didn't you?

Well, the Lowe Household has joined the Tivo Club.
Now to get one of those Turbonet Cards...

It was of course, far more difficult than it should have been.

Ian: "I'm looking for a Tivo, you know, records TV with no tapes, like
Sky+"
Currys Uddingston: "No, we don't do those"
Ian: "Can you check stock for other stores?"
Currys: "No, We can't do that"
Ian: "Forget it"

Ian: "I'm looking for one of these (pointing at Tivo), do you have
any
boxed?"
Powerhouse Uddingston: "I'll check"
Ian: "erm, where did 'Liz' go?"
Powerhouse Uddingston: "She's off for her break, can I help?"
Ian: "I want to buy a Tivo"
Powerhouse Uddingston: "I heard they were shite. What would you want
one of
those for?"
...much inane babbling, followed by "that one has no remote, box or
cables"
Ian: "Forget it"

Ian: "Do you have any Tivo recorders left?" (pointing at gap in
display with
"tivo" sticker)
Comet Uddingston: "Yes, we have 2 in stock, at ?150"
Ian: "The ticket there says ?97"
Comet: "Thats just for the display one"
Ian: "huh? The sticker doesn't mention 'display only'"
Comet: "I'm sorry sir.."
Ian: "Well, why don;t you go get one from stock, and put it on
display,
where that ?97 sticker is."
Comet: "I can't do that"
Ian: "Forget it"

Ian: "Is this your last Tivo?"
Currys Airdrie: "Yes, would you like a demo?"
Ian: "Thats okay, I know what it can do, I'll take it"
Currys: "I'll just get the box"

PS> Airdrie has none left in stock now :)
