I have now found out that the CD with the customs charge I earlier mentioned (I had a few due in from the US so wasn't sure which it was) is the one that has already cost £50 
I already have an mp3 of the whole CD. Nearly Seventy quid for a hard copy is bordering on daft.
Also, lazy ebayers that take ages to post things.

I would NEVER buy a computer from PC World again. When mine broke, they completely sold me up the river with charges, I think they probably overcharged...it was £120 just to look at it, and ended up costing nearly £400 in total to replace the ac/dc pin because the f*ckers connect them to the motherboard. I could have bought a new laptop for that, but they neglected to tell me about how much it would charge until the work had been done. So I complained and they said I could have some vouchers. I never received them

I wouldn't have got my laptop back, though. They said to me that they don't always attach them to the motherboard, which is why I said it there, because it's sod's law that it happened to me The pin bent over a long period of time and would only charge if I contorted the wire into random positions. I think that I'm trying to say is that PC World's products are sh*t, as are their service. I would strongly advise anyone against buying from them, Currys or Dixons (same product, innit) or at least buying a non-PC World brand product (ie. not Advent).

I have an Advent laptop, and guess what? That's right, the charger wire is torn to shreds at the laptop end, and to make it charge, the laptop MUST be at least three feet above the rest of the wire, as it will only charge if the wire is left to dangle out of the edge of the laptop all the way to the floor. It is also resting slightly on my thigh on the way to the floor, and If I remove this thigh, it stops charging. And I'll leave you lot to guess what happens if I move the chair that the wire takes a short-cut over.....

just found out that dan (faye's ex) was set upon by a group of youths that he challenged for running over his car & pulling off the wing mirror
bruised his back, broke his jaw and his cheek bone.
had to have surgery to reset his jaw & insert a plate.
can't f*cking believe it, group of 14-15 year old lads
whacked him with a bar or something, got him on the ground & just laid in
w*nkers.
you just wouldn't do it.

Laptops are designed to be disposable products these days. It's crap, but they really don't last much longer than 3 years if you're going by your average one and that's looked after really well, kept in its case everytime it's not being used...etc. The one time I didn't use my case to travel it, mine's casing got scratched to f*ck by the plug which had manoevred itself out of the pocket I'd packed it in...so it looks like its been mauled by a tiger.
My power pack went a few months ago due to a loose wire on the pack to computer end. Without it, the battery life is under 5 minutes, so it was pretty much a dead computer. Luckily I found a replacement that was relatively cheap and compatible.
Still, I hate laptops. When I have the money and a stable place to live (i.e. after uni and with a proper job, etc) I am totally investing in a desk top.

I like IBM ones, they seem to build them to last. I used to have one of their laptops from around 1998 that lasted until 2007. It was a brick, but it was marvellous. By the end, it had been dropped, sat on, had things spilt on it and bits fell off regularly but it still worked. I miss it.
I have a T60 now which seems to be holding up pretty well.
Personally, I'd say it depends entirely on the laptop.
A cheap machine will be a cheap machine, desktop, laptop or otherwise..
But on the higher end of things, when high quality carbon or metal casing is used and the hardware is specced up for performance and the likes you can't really go wrong, its the sole reason I buy the machines I do. I want them to last for what I consider to be a reasonable timeframe. And also to be as capable in three years time as they were when I first bought them.

IBM/Lenovo make some really durable laptops. I have no idea why they last out everything, since generally they tend to be pretty average looking plastic built bricks which look no different to the equivalent competition.

this phone is an absolute c*nt to use. Also main reason i'm here - my rabbit is a filthy little wh*re. She has actually had a litter of kittens, hidden them too damn well, i thought it would still be ok to put the buck out with her, she stops dead, shoves her a*se in the air & he's had a whale of a time. Then tge other bloke got out & did the same. F*cking stupid. These will still be feeding when she has the next lot
