  1. Ok no prob. Understand that some people believe everything they read in the forums and despite not being WOZ owners or Bumper customers had to come for a look. No problems with that as long as people introduce themselves. And before anyone takes this as an immediate invitation, please hold off, Bumper's new premises are a designated construction zone. We'll throw the doors open soon enough. No point letting the competition in on what's coming until then.
  2. This is Jamie at Bumper. I'm not hiding! I am using the Bumper account set up by David Stein because I just haven't had time to sort one out for myself yet and set up profiles and signatures. I earlier changed the profile to reflect my own ID but people on here asked that I not change David's signature as he had some respect in these forums, but it appears I did not change things back properly earlier to restore his historical record. I'll fix that now. But any messages using this profile/ID after early July are from me. Um forgive me for saying so, but I did not see your name in the post :cool:
  3. Pleased to do so, time permitting. Had 40+ phone calls, 60+ SMS and 20+ email across my desk today. Same day last week before this news broke was even more. Sorry guys, forum posts come second just now.
  4. There is a lot of work involved sorting all this out and dismantling the distributorship, both on our side and Jack's. We both have businesses to operate despite this issue making things more complicated for a while. As the amounts involved are quite large and made up of a multitude of different customers' funds, and nobody would want us to get THEIR payments wrong, please don't expect individual breakdowns of your own unique data just yet. You should by the way have your own records of what you paid and when! WOZ buyers have also recently been sent more regular emails with information and updates, all of which we stand by. Those emails come from a list management system that I set up soon after starting there, and it signifies a commitment to better customer communication in the new Bumper. Let Jack and Rob get things settled and then Jack can do what he has always promised - ship some more machines. Once the new structures are in place, we will have time to provide info for all the finger pointing that will follow.
  5. The list of buyers and priorities has twice been sent to Jack, starting two months ago.
  6. Nathan I think this thread was to discuss Bumper's new premises. Cheers Jamie
  7. Hi guys Sounds like Hotty browsed without speaking to anyone. You don't need to creep around! Had an introduction happened, we would have explained that we have all the space nearest the front door under the suspended ceiling, and other tenants like an electric car maker and high end housing development company will be taking areas to the sides and rear. Our area is slightly less than we had at the old premises but the new location has a much more efficient layout. Honestly, there was so much empty space upstairs at the old place that the tech department started up a manufacturing business to make some old fashioned, medieval style pinball machines. Sounds like madness, I know, but they just had so much space... So there's plenty happening here. Internal walls are going up any day and flooring is about to go down, then cabling and so forth can go in which will restore phone and email access to each department. While we wait for that, all phone calls are diverted to the handset I carry, hence occasional delays in answering calls as the one line can be busy, and email/internet are running through a slower wireless connection instead of the ADSL service we were used to. Communication is congested but this choke point will soon go away. The boys are hard at work unpacking and recategorising the parts section which has limited access to stock for the next several days, but the tech service area, party hire and online order fulfillment are already in full swing. Our bulky items transit through the gated side entrance around the corner. As things are for now, the whole site is still a construction area so public access has to be very limited. Our apologies for the inconvenience while we build a better Bumper. We'll let y'all know when the doors officially reopen. Cheers Jamie
  8. Yeah I noticed that sig change affected all previous posts. David has a great history. I will try to change it back and probably need to set up a new Bumper handle.

    Indeed. The pshrinks might have an opinion why people would rather speculate than contact the main party directly and have suppositions proved wrong.

    All right everybody. Bumper have something to say, watch this space Monday. Ye doom-sayers and salt bag carriers will finally find a resting place (rusting place?). From Jamie, posting on David's signature until mods allow changes. David by the way is doing well.
  11. Congrats on a great pinball. Franky is lots of fun and a real crowd pleaser when the monster flings the balls at you. Pity the double sized DMD didn't become a standard in Pin as they look great. One of the better John Borg designs.
  12. Funny you should mention this, they have made a serious offer to expand by sub leasing upstairs several times to the old and new owners. This is fact. Luke is right also, Upstairs was duly turned into a second lounge that did not please them at all. However this room has hardly ever been used and always after 7PM at the earliest way after they have closed for formal business. But they did fear this room being close to them and possible ramifications. I believe this has triggered them off.
