UK pc con (sorry, i mean repair) man captured for TV show
nudone:
Uk members may have seen this already - from an ITV show called 'House of Horrors'.
the show aims to expose dodgy service people by enticing them into a realistic looking set up where everything is captured on film.
i've been waiting for the clips to appear on youtube and now here they are:
part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DsAwt8vf6Q
part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOrHS50Xkqs
look out for the car he drives - particularly what happens to it as he makes his escape - and look at the license plate, what a classic.
Darwin:
Thanks for that nudone - what an eye opener. Talk about caveat demptor... You're right, the license plate is the icing on the cake!

I heard about this yesterday from Martin, in my chatroom. I thought his description was hilarious, but seeing the actual video is great. ;D

I have tried to read what it says over & over and I still can't make it out. (it's a blur) :(
Carol Haynes:
It says "WTFN ME" I think ? It is a bit blurred
nudone:
sorry, i didn't realise that the license plate was so blurred (it was clearer to see on the original broadcast).
the plate reads WIIN ME
make of that what you will, but i find it kind of amusing that this bloke thought it a cool idea to brand his posh car after one of the biggest jokes in operating system history. does he think windows millenium is that cool.
of course, it could represent other things but the millenium reference seems the funniest to me.
