Warranty
From the little booklet in the box:
Off road riding extracts a severe toll on footwear. On and off the pedals thousands of times, lots of walking, days of 150 degree heat rotting the shoes in your trunk all means these shoes will eventually wear out. When the rubber is worn smooth off the bottoms and your riding buddies locate you by following the flapping noise of your torn uppers, BUY NEW SHOES. Don't return them to your dealer with your altar boy face on and mmble, "Uh, I only used them once and look what happened. Gimme new for nuthin." (sic)
Of course, if we screwed up and forgot to send you (sic) your particular pair through our patented top secret bulletproofing process and they come apart for no good reason, give us a call at the number listed below and we will see what we can do to remedy the problem or come up with another bit of creative customer relations to keep you happy. Just give us a call.
I appear to have just bought a pair of shoes from a company that not only regards its customers as a bunch of scroungers but also feels the need to press this point home in a rather patronising manner.
It's a shame - they are rather nice shoes.

Glastonbury tickets
Alex is currently wondering if the Glastonbury ticket website is run off of a beige box in the corner of someone's flat with a cat chewing on the network cable.
Honestly, what with all the pre-registering bollocks it's not like they were unaware of the demand. Why can't they design a server infrastructure that can handle enough requests?
