Crown paint - is this a wind-up?
I'd contact them to tell them, but then I'd be on display too!

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Ian Smeaton" saying something like: I'd contact them to tell them, but then I'd be on display too! http://www.crowndecoratingcentre.co..../AllItems.aspx "I bought a 5 litre can of mixed paint from your Wellingborough depot on Tuesday.Arrived home and found all paint on boot floor after lid came off. Was told my problem as had lrft your depot O.K. Area manager did re-supply paint however I still have ruined boot liner and paint on car boot walls. Why no clips put on cans?Not very happy-would like some redress and cans with clips in future. Please reply asap.David Williams" "I've been a thick **** and want you to pay me" |

Staging implies staging server, as opposed to production server, so it
may be "greeking". Then again staging and production systems have a habit of being the same - although admittedly where USA management want the change now and India is blaming "language difficulties" :-) |

Well I for one would not want my name, address, phone number and email address going worldwide. In a day and age where we have to buy paper shredders to stop such details getting into the rubbish bin because some ne'r-do-well will use it for nefarious purposes such as ID theft or fraud, I'd call having said details posted on the worldwide interwebby thing one huge, major disadvantage - wouldn't you? |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember James Bendall saying something like: I'm guessing I wasn't the only one who e-mailed TheReg then :-) I would have done, but I was cleaning the paint out of my car boot. |

As I recall not all halfwit hapless halfwits sent their contact details in; in any case no more info than in a phone book (except email); most were trying to blag freebies or asking daft questions. what "heinous modern-day heists" are you having nightmares about exactly pizza boy?
