I recently posted on cre8asite about BOTW moving in local search, one of the moderators posted the below stats - I thought I might need to refer to the later so I posted it here.

I have been with PayPal for some time and use PayPal payments pro for a number of website's, recently I needed to speak to someone about my account and spent 45 MINUTES trying to get through their stupid electronic phone system.

So to save anyone else in the UK trying to get through to PayPal here are a couple of numbers and a little tip:

0870 730 1880

0870 730 1881

TIP!!!

Now to actually get through and speak to a HUMAN..  Keep saying MAIN MENU until you get the main menu and then say AGENT this transfers you straight to a PayPal agent!

Just been reading up about the latest Marvel comic films coming out, so far we have Hulk coming out this weekend and on their way Wolverine & the new Punisher Film.

I've been looking into making a Video On Demand platform, sort of like the new IPlayer..  But make it skinnable so I could sell it on to new clients - While I was doing a bit of investigation, I came across so many acronyms which I had no clue about.. After a few headaches I found this great list

ADSL
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line is a technology used to convert an existing telephone network into a broadband network. ADSL typically delivers 500Kb/s - 1Mb/s, but up to 6Mb/s is possible.

Broadband TV
TV services delivered over broadband networks - basically the same as IPTV.

Digital Video Recorder (DVR)
Also known as PVR (Personal Video Recorder), a DVR is a Set Top Box that contains hard disk storage to allow a viewer to record content. Usually the DVR can be programmed in advance to record programmes in the future and set to always record particular series. In some cases DVRs have intelligent features so they can be set to record content of a particular genre favoured by the user or containing particular actors, for example.

DTH
DTH means Direct to Home and refers to satellite TV services where a viewer must have a satellite dish and receiver installed at their home to watch the service. More...

So I thought I had better respond and keep it going, considering the last few months I have been shutting myself away and working A LOT - To the point where I haven't even posted on cre8asite.

Web Stuff

Well unfortunately I have a disease...  I am obsessed with Web Design & Development, so even in my spare time I am still tinkering with websites and developing my companies SimpleCMS system.  I read a lot about ASP.NET nowadays, and also about CSS.   More...

I recently took the plunge and bought myself a 17" screen laptop - After searching the net I found an amazing deal Tesco's are doing...  £399.00 for the Acer Aspire 7520 Gemstone (Although its not actually listed as a gemstone on the acer website, it certainly looks like the ones in the pictures.)  Now whats great about this apart from the initial price is they were offering triple club card points, which means if you get those club cards points - it works out around £50+ off your shopping!! So in theory you actually get the laptop for around £349.99 which is an absolute steal!  They seemed to have stopped the Triple clubcard offer now, but you can use this promotional code and hopefully get the triple points with the order..
