Two different reasons
I used to be on the telly now and again. I quite enjoyed it and people liked me. Then I took my laptop into PCworld to get it fixed. now I try to avoid getting on the telly.


Paul Gadd

Again!

I should have added Mr Gadd to unexpected nudity. But you would have expected that.

I worked in that very store
Met the guy who clocked him.

Cribbs Causeway in Bristol, if you care :)

Could you ask him
what the blithering fuck he was doing looking through someone's private photo collection? Unless Gadd was such an utter retard they were blatantly used as Activedesktop icons or in a folder called "My Porn"... I mean there is absolutely no reason to search for images or browse through their personal folders if you're trying to fix someone's computer.
Much as I'm obviously glad that Gadd's gone, I can't help but feel sorry for him and pissed off at PC World.
And with this new Extreme Porn law in the UK this sort of rummaging- coupled with one person walking by who gets sufficiently offended by what they see to report the owner to the police- could have repercussions on people who are otherwise just average-joe porn viewers.

Such rummaging through files has lost PC World a good number of fixes from people who don't want some spotty oik nicking their bank records. Either that or I know a load of paedos.

Well actually...
I worked there for a long time (7 years), 3 as a technician in the very small repair office thing, and I can honestly say no rummaging EVER occurred (well, none I am aware of)

Gadd said he couldn't open his pictures, among other faults. Recent documents = fail.

Yes, maybe the technician could have made a new blank image and tested it with that, but when somone says they can't open THEIR pictures, you need to test it with THEIR pictures.

EDIT: The guy was traumatised to the point he had to leave his job and see a psychiatrist for years afterwards. I feel no remorse for that paedo cunt Gadd.
