IN case you need a carpet that takes ages to install, turns blue every other day and needs to be updated weekly of course.

What, if any, are his options on these shares?
How much did he pay for them?
Does he boast about them at dinner parties?
Is his PC wallpaper a picture of Carpet Right?
What are his views on laminate flooring?
Do Carpet Right consider him important enough to manufacture him a suit made of carpet if he so commands?
Does he make carpet-based innuendoes to his wife/mistress/ladies-of-the-night such as offering them a deep shag?

If you cannot answer all of these questions in detail and offering a minimum of three points that show that your answers are correct, then I'm not reading anything else that you type about carpets, Maca.

it goes hand in hand when you get blue, you feel like kicking it, and you need kicker to install a carpet most times. so its Bill at his best good business venture.

wounder if the length of the carpet has to equal the license key - adds up to a 'magic number'

this all makes sense.
I bought a rug from carpetright, its full of holes i have to wait for a pack to be delivered to patch them.

I tried putting it over laminate from floors to go go, but it wouldnt sit right as it is only compatible with laminate from carpetright.

Maybe Bill bought into them to help develop wall to wall windows shag your pc (codename windows shagpile) after all windows is getter threadbare now against the opposition!!
I hear a rumour Bill's trying a hostile takeover, of Meat's ishit failure as a future windows development (they have the problem with implementing meat's drunk falling down stair programming technique and slamming motor in wall as an update feature) :beer:
