S4 Elite PVP Set - Not Updated to Reflect Winning Tier? PVP Community Forgotten????
MMO-Champion
I'm doing a rebuild of my rig. I live in the UK. It is impossible to buy CPU here in stores - preorder online is the only way to buy. I do not have the patience to wait 3 days for my i7 4ghz. So, I booked flight from London to Stockholm and return in the same day. I took off at 7am got to Stockholm at 11am their time and walked down master erick street from the Atlanta express to ignet pc store. I got their at like 12 noon... A guy who looked like a Viking served me and I gave him 3700 see for the cpu. I went on train back to airport, got flight and was back in my warm house by house in uk at 9pm. I then ordered a pizza and put this little Beaty in my shiny new asus me... Man, talk about dedication... Right now I hope it does not fail on me ...sry but uk will not stop me buying

I once flew to Denmark, bought a book, then went home and READ THE BOOK.
To further baffle you, the book was English, so somebody must have gone to england to get the book to the store in the first place.
Intense.

It's so true, London has no shops that hold CPUs.

I almost went there once. I had a 3 day layover in Dar Es Salaam. My boss told me to go to Zanzibar. I listened to my stupid employee instead who told me to just hang out in Dar Es Salaam and take a day trip to Bongoyo Island. Originally Posted by zoomgpally

Was still fun, but I'd love to be able to say I've been to Zanzibar.
'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Zanzibar does have a cool name and, as I have just discovered, is not off the coast of West Africa. Originally Posted by Reeve

So not only did you get ripped off on the price of the processor, you also stupidly wasted a ton of money on a pointless round trip to Sweden to get it...

Zanzibar is a drug trafficking mecca, you don't want to be seen with lots of stamps in your passport there lol. Zanzibar is kind of crap though, not sure of the attraction. I used to live in Dar. Coolest things about Zanzibar - Freddy mercury was born there and they were involved in the shortest war in history which lasted just minutes, go go british navy. Originally Posted by Reeve

Has nobody heard of next day delivery.
A lot cheaper than a round trip to Sweden.
I want to visit Sweden, but a day trip for a CPU wtf.

Well didn't the trip to Sweden cost more than the CPU ?
Sounds fun though.

Blog posts aren't really sufficient to have a conversation off of. If you want to just talk about your day and such, we do have a general off-topic thread in the chat zone forum.
