Sega grabs tech layoff baton and dumps couple hundred Euro staff

It's "A couple OF hundred"

Double plus bad

Lawyer guilty of arrogance after ignoring tech support

Of course not!

I once took a call from an angry client who's computer wouldn't power up. He assured me it was completely dead and that, yes, it was plugged in. Next morning I was promptly dispatched with a box of spares and spent 4 hours driving up to Manchester. Upon arrival I could see that yes it was plugged in and no it wasn't working. Puzzled I asked if anything had changed with the power cable, no was the response. Dropping to my knees and crawling under the desk i unplugged the cable to find the fuse compartment open and empty. "Ah", says the redfaced client, "sorry". Worked out ok for me though as Fridays were job and finish so there's that.
