My phone call to google...

Me: When is my Nexus4 order going to ship?
Google: I don’t know
Me: your automated response while I was on hold said "all orders will ship within the time quoted when you purchased"
Google: Yes that is correct
Me: So my order will ship by Tuesday next week, as my email at the time of order says shipping within 1-2 weeks?
Google: No we don’t know when the next stock is going to be available
Me: So the automated/hold message is incorrect?
Google: No all orders will ship within the time quoted?

(This circular conversation went round a couple of times)

Me: So will the order ship next week?
Google: I don’t know when the next batch of stock is due.
Me: Ok, if you don’t think you will dispatch my order within the time frame I suggest you update your hold message.
Google: OK we will look into that
Me: OK, I’m guessing I won’t get it before Xmas then?
Goggle: "All orders will ship within the time quoted when you purchased"
Me: Thanks for your help goodbye

[I don't hold much hope of getting it before Xmas]

My Nexus 4 order is no longer "pending" on my credit card....

...But its not on my statement as paid now either??

She's the Chairperson of RoadPeace

http://www.roadpeace.org/about/trustees/

I thought I knew her name.

I'll send a thank you there, in her name, and will also send the entirety of this year's tithe to RoadPeace too.

If she has a Charity, I'd like to make a small Christmas donation.

Just to remain true to my word I've made a donation to roadpeace this morning, she nearly had me to tears re-telling her story in the office this morning.

Love the mother. She's done more good than anyone on the show.

What say we send some thank you flowers.

Can we figure out who she is?

If she has a Charity, I'd like to make a small Christmas donation.

Ordered - Glad they are now only letting you order 1 at a time

I cant see the estimated leadtime on my order?

Carphone Warehouse has the Nexus 7 32 GB down to £179 and stock in stores.

Nexus 4 SIM free also in stock @ £389 :(

The N4 isnt in stock in stores & they are taking pre-orders

                                  "FREE delivery to you(UK Mainland only)
                                Pre order - stock coming soon"

In the US Google started taking pre orders yesterday (With a 9 week lead time) - No news on when they are going to set up pre-ordering here though.

I'm also tempted by a Nexus 7 at that price.

Have you tried using rasterbator?

Anyone tried these?

Rainbow the way to go I think

"anvii" wheel AD: LED light painting on bicycle wheels - YouTube

I've got a set of the standard rainbow ones - I had them on an old Bridges Ride and CM (I was a early adopter). I have the design kit but only tried that once and tended to leave them on the standard patterns. (They havent been on my bike this winter)

They were cheaper than the competition at the time and came with 3 units to make a stronger pattern at a slower speed. They do add a bit of weight (9AA's + the units spaced around the wheel) and i got a pack of rechargeables to reduce the cost of running them.

I would recommend them, and anvii, but I've been thinking of selling mine as I'm not using them at the moment...

The All Saints Sale store in Covent Garden had some in last week.

I think the jacket was c.£100

I had one in my basket and got as far as the payment page then it crashed ;(

If it has sold out I'd rather just place a back order today rather than go through that again when the next batch are released.

I've been hunting around to see if i can get a guestimate of the Nexus4 order time, to plan my day tomorrow.

If they aline it with one time zone I'm guessing it will be PST, so that would make it 8am here (Which fits with the launch at the O2 if you want one on a overpriced contract (But if you are amongst the first in the queue apparently you get to go up the O2 and get a LG tv))

However if its CET, at midnight, we could order at 11pm tonight...

...But i doubt that will happen, and its more likely to be a case of hitting refresh on the play store every 10 mins through the day

I can make it from the dimensions no problem
when you want it?

Great I'll send you an email. (I'm not in a rush as I'm sure there will be a waiting list once Google start taking orders next week)

I want to put in an advanced order for a Nexus4 case? Will you need to wait to see one in the flesh or can you make phone cases using the dimensions available online?

KenCycle prices to double...

Thanks, Just unchecked auto renew on my annual fee, I'm not using it enough @ £45, but i was going to carry on with the subscription for the odd trip, £90 is a big hike for an infrequent user (like me) who uses it less than once a week.

I want to leave Apple, I want the Nexus, but i want more than 8gb

leak/gossip sites are saying that the first version will only be 8gb (& No card slot), and that a 16gb will be released at a later date.

*Edit looks like 16gb will be available from launch ;)

Carphone Warehouse has jumped the gun, putting the LG Nexus 4 up for pre-order on its website.

http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/lg-nexus-4-pre-order-goes-live-early-for-30-october-delivery-50009588/

However the links not on their site now. It was only showing a 8gb one, I'm hoping that they have more storage options on the release date though, tempted to move from apple for one...

Just had a Falafel in Leather Lane (Sara's Food Store & King of Falafel) based on this forum thread/recommendation - It was tasty, filling and great value.

Thanks

It was only a matter of time before the dailymash picked this story up...

My GF saw a mouse in the flat the other night, so we have had some traps down for a couple of days, but so far it/they have avoided capture.

We are shortly going away for 4 nights, do I leave the traps down while its quiet, The only concern is that if we trap one on day one, what state will it be in, by the time we return 4 days later?

(We are using traditional traps and peanut butter*, which last time caught 3 within 30mins of putting the traps down)

*Not homemade

Projector. Claira and I have this one, and it's ace: http://www.projectorshop24.co.uk/optoma-projector/optoma-es521/

.

I'm thinking of selling one of these (<500 hours on the bulb), was thinking £125...

If you decide to split let me know. May be interested in the wheels - what rims are they?

Wheels are the standard On-Ones ones

I'd rather not post, but if its not gone in a couple of weeks I might change my mind.

Would be willing to split but the frame will come with the BB (as its got French treads so its best they stay as a set)

Here's a brilliant news video from 1938.

That video's wonderful.

Looks like red light jumping was a problem in back in 1938 too...

@ 1:28 re stopping at crossings...

"...That’s how not to do it, by deliberately doing the wrong thing the children learn how necessary it is to do the right..."

Followed by "...isnt that so inspector?" [So they also had junction watch back then too]

So maybe red light jumpers are simply deliberately doing the wrong thing to learn how necessary it is to do the right.

A DUCK tour boat ran over one of our ride marshals in 2007, minor injuries and the bike was trashed.

One of those duck tour boats over took me with little room to spare on the way home tonight and would have pushed me into the curb/gutter or worse if i didn’t brake to let the beast in (I was in primary).

They don’t appear to have much visibility (but it is left-hand drive so the driver had no excuse, he just laughed when i caught up and called him a cunt)

What’s worse is those steps at the back of boat, they could easily wipe someone out – surely they can’t be legal on the road?

I'm thinking of placing an order for one of these

• I only need one but happy to order more to save on postage costs.
  
  

(or Has anyone found a UK supplier)

I've just ordered a couple of these, I only need 1 but got a second that I'll pass on for half the extortionate postage cost they are charging.
