[El Gordo]

So when do we hear the Garmin story?

When I gather up all my bile. I get so pissed off with these bastards. They admitted to me that the Forerunner 305 doesn't actually work very well, and certainly not as advertised. When I asked if I could quote them, they of course started rowing back from what they'd already said. In short, the altitude feature is totally useless, the calorie measurement doesn't work, and various features like virtual partner and the HR zone alarms are acknowledged to be implemented less well than on previous models. In short, it's an overpriced heap of shite, and I'm so angry with them, and others who promise one thing and deliver another. I can understand people and companies making customer service mistakes -- the law of averages says that logistics won't always work as planned, or people will misinterpret instructions. But it's when they try to defend their uselessness and cover up product defects that I get fed up. Don't get me started on Carphone Warehouse.

Eh? Did someone mention Carphone Warehouse? Now they really ARE a bunch of tossers, let me tell you about........

AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
