Strange request / Keychain!

[Gray]

Didnt know where to stick this so here goes anyway!

People in and around work have got these keychain/pullstring things, basically it connects to your keyring and has a placement were a creditcard sized ID Card fits [Basically an ID holder].

Work no longer stocks these, and you can only buy them in bulk of 500 to 1000, which is nothing like what i want.

Im having a nightmare finding them though, someone said Ski shops may sell em, but ive come up fruitless there.

They go under a few names, like..

Pull String ID Card Holder
Roller Clip Key Chain
etc

And various others... But im coming up blank. Its annoying, because i hate the Lanyard im wearing at the moment, and these pullstrings look cool. Also a sidenote, the ID Card you pull it and the string extends from the chain to wherever you want the ID Card, once you let go it twangs back.

Help!

Brooky may know what im on about since he work[ed] in the same place!

 

[mank!]

i think i know exactly what you mean but i cannot for the life of me find a picture or anything about them online

Do you mean like the keycard things the casino workers had in Oceans Eleven?

If so, no idea - sorry :\

Dont extend the string and let go! It hurts so much with the one I have (stolen from old workplace).

Seconding the ski shops idea. I got one a couple of years ago; used it for attaching a slopes passcard to my jacket.

IT’s all change



Great news! In September you’ll notice a change to the way that your IT problems are handled.


Not only should they be dealt with faster and more efficiently, more problems will be fixed over the telephone rather than you having to wait for a technician to come to your desk. You'll also find a more efficient way of purchasing new IT equipment as well as receiving an enhanced customer experience.

The changes will be delivered by a new IT service provider called ComputerLand who will be introduced on 4 September to replace Computacenter and The Lapworth Consultancy, the existing providers.

ComputerLand is an established provider of IT services and has been brought in to provide a world class desktop and server service for you and bring it in line with what you and O2 need.

For more information about ComputerLand, visit their website.

Note: The IT Service Desk number will remain as x 4120.

If you have any questions, please email: **********@o2.com. or for more information and Frequently Asked Questions please go to the Operations Website.
