Unfulfilled Promises

[kingandy]

January has come and January has gone, and Maelstrom has failed to materialise. Allegedly the mailshot has/willsoonbe gone out, but that's just not good enough. We were promised January. I demand my money back!

It's something I've found myself saying a lot lately, but is no less true for it: if you give somebody something for free they get annoyed when you take it away. And even if you know it belongs to you - you were being generous letting them use it for a time - you feel bad about depriving them. Especially when they look up at you with their big, brown doe eyes and say "Oh please Andy, I won't be much longer, I just have to finish chatting to everyone then you can have your computer back..."

Really, it's like kicking a puppy. Which is why I found myself watching the X-Men movie last night. Sigh.

You can hardly blame the organisers for the frothing fanboys who proclaimed Maelstrom the best thing ever as soon as Matt Pennington mentioned the possibility on pagga. So they're a bit late with the mailshot, does it really matter? It's not like they've taken our money and run or anything. I think the Grolsch adverts have an important point to make on the matter.
