Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

I have lost weight and my trousers are too big. This could all go a bit Pete Tong.

I was reading the ebay related posts on the previous page of this thread last night and thinking how lucky I've been so far not to run into any serious issues myself. This morning the laptop that I took delivery of yesterday from an ebay seller packed in. FFS.

What's the laptop doing? There's a few tek-squaxx on here that might be able to help (me, f'rinstance).

[Rog69]

Thanks Noisy, the problem appears to be the graphics card / chipset, I get screen artefacts after the machine has been on for a while and it soon gets to the point that it's unusable. It could well be a cooling issue but I only took delivery of it yesterday and I've had about three hours use from it, so back it goes .

I've started the returns process, I'm just hoping the seller doesn't choose to be a twat about it.

I tied my belt tighter with a knot instead of using the holes and ate a packet of fig rolls. Thanks so much for your extremely helpful suggestions! *hugs*

Valuable extra careers lesson there, Cyberleader:  the non-supermarket retail and food prep sectors are not for you.  Nary a chair to be seen for 8-12 hours.  Creating unbreakable ciphers, on the other hand...

I'm still not entirely sure that Cyberleader2000 isn't a ficticious persona created by Roger Godpleton to fuck with our heads.

Slipped on ice and am just about crippled. The roads are clear - pavements like fucking ice rink!

I remember our school's PE teacher making us play rugby in a hailstorm.  Something about building character.

Mind you, maybe he was onto something.  He also ran a black market in cheap kit, and the rest of the sports staff consisted of one who could only talk in mock Cockney-Italian ("You are the Mars-a-bar! The Numero Uno!") and another who spent most of his time rotating his penis with his spare hand via his trouser pocket.

Characters they certainly were.

Those two were at my school as well, except one was a science teacher and would rub it through his trousers on the edge of the bench. It makes you wonder if these reports of time travel is true, and it's the same people? Should be on the life is so fortean thread.
