A dollar?
A whole bloody dollar?
And that’s in US currency.
Whoppedobedoo, I’m rich beyond my wildest dreams!!!
Look it’s nice to know I have to pay less than I had originally been told – but with that level of saving, maybe they would have been better to keep quiet about it [so I’d “discover” it by myself and think they’re a great bunch of guys, even though in reality I doubt I’d of even noticed it] or simply sent an email that didn’t feel like they were stating I’d won the national lottery.
And that ladies and gentlemen is the problem with CRM – especially computerised CRM – because what they think [or want to think] is important to their customers is about as significant as a small dry fart after a plateful of Baked Beans.

That’s my favourite use of a word that is no actually a word on this blog so far: Whoppedobedoo!!! I imagine you wearing pink speedos jumping up and down in that jacuzzi where you share some hot body water with Andy. Huhg. Too much red wine.

Priceless!
Comment by Charles Frith March 27, 2008 @ 9:16 amYou’re excited aren’t you Seb – what other reason could there be for your spelling?
And how could you tell I was wearing pink Speedo’s – I thought my jacket was covering my bits 🙂
Comment by Rob March 27, 2008 @ 9:28 amNot excited exactly. The reason actually was in my last sentence. Red wine.

Comment by Rob March 27, 2008 @ 11:05 ami love amazon. i love it when they drop the price. I love it when they tell me how much I’ve saved. I love it when they take as much effort to tell me that i’ve paid an extra $15 for my book than when i’ve saved $1. i love amazon.

The series finale is pretty good. A bit long but I enjoyed it.
