Sodding thing has peeved me off.

[porkycrook 466]

Well what a way to start off 2013, my bloody laptop has picked the 2nd day of the New Year to come and frazzle. Well if 2012 had not had enough time to stack crap onto my shoulders, it's nearest and dearest has chosen to join the party. So being one of the people that can't get everything paid for by the state, whether it is due to my colour or that i have paid into the system for nearly 40 years. But i struggle through still paying my mortgage, council tax, heating, electricity and the rest of my bills. People think that i should always be this happy smiley chap, but there are times when i think at some stage things have got to take a turn for the better but no.

So get to the point i hear you shout, as my laptop is down i will not be able to join in with the forum fun.

My laptop died to just before crimbo, the insurance are fixing it, do you have home insurance? My mate claimed when his stopped working and they have him a new one! Worth a try.

PM Inbound sire! Problem with claiming for a new laptop on your home insurance is that the premiums will rise, then when you declare you have made an insurance claim you car insurance will go up as well!

One single line, but doesn't it just some up this country these days.

Nip down the council and say you are a refugee immigrant.

 

You'll get a laptop, a PC and a cash voucher to buy a car. They'll throw in a fully furnished house, benefits, rent paid every month, settlement allowance. Council tax benefit, social funding for fridge, a cooker and a telly!

 

And you can laugh while Ian Duncan-Smith will call a homeless British ex soldier, scarred by war an embarrassment; or a hard working British man a pair of skiving scroungers who, through no fault of his own, has lost his job, his status, his credit rating and his family reduced to poverty, living off the state; while there are, apparently, well-paid jobs galore, just begging for the asking out there!

I had a friend who was made homeless by his ex he went to the council offices and the lady pretty much said if you were hooked on drugs alcohol were an imergrent or were out of work we could help

Basically if your white have a job and arnt a smack head you won't get help from them

 

Hope you get it fixxed mate

Roger is one of the nicest men on this forum that i have met personally and if anyone deserves that help he does.

 

He is a full supporter to this section and anyone in it.

Far better if you have a mate to have a look at it rather than try to clean on the house hold insurance far cheaper and quicker

Agree, plus you have greater chance of retaining anything on your hard drive.

 

It must be the season for broken computers. Ive fixed 2 this year already for friends / family. What I tend to do these days is set everyone up with the google cloud - so route all email via gmail, save documents in google drive rather than my documents, link pictures to picassa, contacts etc.. so that way if anything goes kapoot, you just log into google on your new pc and hey presto everything is automatically synced.

 

Hope you get it sorted!
