Bloody Vending machine

Ate my money it did. :evil:

Probably my own fault, pressed the button I ususally press, but instead of saying "Out of Stock" or whatever, it does it's little dispense the food thing, despite the abscence of food, and then says "Thank You" and just takes my money and would have run if it wasn;t bolted to the floor.

Anyone got a glass cutter I Could borrow?

What kind of food?

And glass cutter = bad idea. Better see if you can find some foreign (cheap) kind of coins made of the same metal, and size&shape as British Pounds. I know a certain Bangkok coin works as a 2 Euro coin. The Bangkok thingy is worth like 10 ct too.

The problem with euro coins is that they are made from a mix of different metals, to make it easier for vending machines to do conductivity tests to distinguish fake coins from real euro coins. So, you wont easily cheat a clever machine anymore.

Of course, there's still those old school machines that just check for shape and thickness 8)

Under the soft moon shining,
In the wide open fields
Far beyond the toil and trouble
Of my busy mind.

Well, the food was little chewy lolly things, and the problem with similar coins is that the only foreign coins I regularly come into cxontact with is New Zealand ones, which are generally the same size, shape and denomination as ours, which doesn't really save me much. There is a machine in my biology building that apparently takes a certain type of metal washer in place of $1 coins, but they've gone and slapped a "All proceeds go to Princess Maragret Hospital "(The local kiddies hospital) sticker on it, and I'm just too nice for my own good. The glass cutter was to cut the front off the thing, and take what I rightfully paid for...

They're bluffing... They wouldn't be able to afford to donate it all to a Hospital...

Hippo, can you please update your site? You said before you couldn't because you weren't going to be online, but your online all the time. Even if its just to say "Were still here", that's fine. :wink:
