;D After reading  "GT RU's craziest Questons "i thought " raphjd " might like to be fore warned as to what may be ahead for him.  :laugh:
Thanks to all the Mods and Uploaders for making this site Great once more   Chris.

Actual call centre conversations !!!!!

Customer:    'I've been ringing 0800 2100 for two days and can't get through to enquiries, can you help?'.
Operator:    'Where did you get that number from, sir?'.
Customer:    'It was on the door to the Travel Centre'.
Operator:    'Sir, they are our opening hours'.
–---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Samsung Electronics
Caller:          'Can you give me the telephone number for Jack?'
Operator:    'I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand who you are talking about'.
Caller:          'On page 1, section 5, of the user guide it clearly states that I need to unplug the fax machine from the AC  wall socket and telephone Jack before cleaning. Now, can you give me the number for Jack?'
Operator:      'I think you mean the telephone point on the wall'.

RAC Motoring Services
Caller:          'Does your European Breakdown Policy cover me when I am travelling in Australia ?'
Operator:      ' Doesn't the product name give you a clue?'

Caller (enquiring about legal requirements while travelling in France
'If I register my car in France , do I have to change the steering wheel to the other side of the car?'

Directory Enquiries
Caller:              'I'd like the number of the Argoed Fish Bar in Cardiff please'.
Operator:          'I'm sorry, there's no listing. Is the spelling correct?'
Caller:              'Well, it used to be called the Bargoed Fish Bar but the 'B' fell off'.

Then there was the caller who asked for a knitwear company in Woven.
Operator:        'Woven? Are you sure?'
Caller:            'Yes. That's what it says on the label; Woven in Scotland '.

On another occasion, a man making heavy breathing sounds from a phone box told a worried operator:
'I haven't got a pen, so I'm steaming up the window to write the number on'.

Tech Support:      'I need you to right-click on the Open Desktop'.
Customer:            'OK'.
Tech Support:      'Did you get a pop-up menu?'.
Customer:            'No'.
Tech Support:      'OK. Right-Click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?'
Customer:            'No'.
Tech Support:      'OK, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?'.
Customer:            'Sure. You told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click''.

Tech Support:          'OK. In the bottom left hand side of the screen, can you see the 'OK' button displayed?'
Customer:                'Wow. How can you see my screen from there?'

Caller:  'I deleted a file from my PC last week and I have just realised that I need it. If I turn my system clock back two weeks will I have my file back again?'.

There's always one. This has got to be one of the funniest things in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the Word Perfect Helpline, which was transcribed from a recording monitoring the customer care department. Needless to say the Help Desk employee was fired; however, he/she is currently suing the Word Perfect organization for 'Termination without Cause'.
Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee. (Now I know why they record these conversations!):

Operator:        'Ridge Hall, computer assistance; may I help you?'
Caller:              'Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect.'
Operator:        'What sort of trouble??'
Caller:              'Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away.'
Operator:        'Went away?'
Caller:              'They disappeared.'
Operator:        'Hmm So what does your screen look like now?'
Caller:              'Nothing.'
Operator:        'Nothing??'
Caller:              'It's blank; it won't accept anything when I type.'
Operator:        'Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out??'
Caller:              'How do I tell?'
Operator:        'Can you see the prompt on the screen??'
Caller:              'What's a sea-prompt?'
Operator:        'Never mind, can you move your cursor around the screen?'
Caller:              'There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type.'
Operator:        'Does your monitor have a power indicator??'
Caller:              'What's a monitor?'
Operator:        'It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on??'
Caller:              'I don't know.'
Operator:          'Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that??'
Caller:              'Yes, I think so.'
Operator:        'Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall.
Caller:              'Yes, it is.'
Operator:        'When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one??'
Caller:              'No.'
Operator:          'Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable.'
Caller:              'Okay, here it is.'
Operator:          'Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer.'
Caller:              'I can't reach.'
Operator:          'Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is??'
Caller:              'No.'
Operator:          'Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over??'
Caller:              'Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle - it's because it's dark.'
Operator:          'Dark??'
Caller:              'Yes - the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window.
' Operator: 'Well, turn on the office light then.'
Caller:              'I can't.'
Operator:          'No? Why not??'
Caller:              'Because there's a power failure.'
Operator:  'A power......... A power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now.
Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in??'
Caller:              'Well, yes, I keep them in the closet.'
Operator:          'Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from.'
Caller:                'Really? Is it that bad?'
Operator:            'Yes, I'm afraid it is.'
Caller:                'Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them??'
Operator:            'Tell them you're too f --- ing stupid to own a computer!!!!!'

:-l Not only have RU lost a lot of new uploads but also downloads as well - i have not downloaded any new for some time here, at one time in the good days i had at least 20 new waiting to be downloaded,
This is very sad as RU WAS the best gay torrent site now the other sites are gaining from this ruling.
Sorry wont be able to attend RUs funeral,as i am to busy down and uploading elsewhere.

@derektheking:

this happened to me also around the same time….

i spent two weekends trying to upload ok i made mistakes but i got the last one right.I was 36hrs uploading and then told i was not seeding,and the torrent was deleted by the system.
In the last nine days i have uploaded 3 films to another site the firs one was snatched 3 times only after 2 hrs of uploading ( ok it was only 135 mb ),mainly to see if it was me or not.they have now been snatched over 1450 times.
Perhaps this is why there are not so many new torrents here ,have not downloaded any new from RU for some time.
Chris.

Thanks i will look into this

I was using VLC it was great but still had to use WMP and real for some files.
Gom plays all files including Real media.
The best part is you can access all you're folders while watching vids /select and watch(has its own playlist window as well)
no more stopping and searching
Has full KB control keys and mouse options ( jump back/forward -pic/sound - real time - plays back where you left off
there's to many to name.
great if like me you watch on TV. bye bye VLC. :chop: Chris
