Re: Laptop buying time
Actually Joe.. that's not a bad thing to do as college girls are more likely to get a better discount and/or additional bits thrown in for nowt. When we change our mobile phones or tariffs, we send the daughter in to do the negotiations as she always gets a good deal

Re: Laptop buying time
Well done Joe! You win
So his mum reckons his need is more urgent than hers so No.1 priority is to get a new laptop for him, get a new touchpad on his, pass it on to his mum and when the dust settles, we'll see what's left for me
But if I ignore all that and focus on ME, I'll probably wait until August and get a 3rd generation i5 or i7 with W7 and an upgrade option. Perhaps I should look for one at Merry Hill and borrow miss Booker to negotiate for me

It's got slightly more complicated now as Cyberbrat has seen through the smokescreen of my old iPad and has caught the whiff of new technology in the air at Speedbird MansionsDaveB wrote:So.. what are you going to do then? Wait to see if you can get a good deal on an Ivy Bridge i5 or try and grab a Sandy Bridge cheap as chips?

I'm sure she'd do you proud Ian
Why not send Cyberbrat out to get a job enabling him/her to buy whatever they want with their earnings!

Are you serious? Who's going to save the World from aliens, zombies, bosses and terrorists? If I take him off the x-box we'll be overrun! What are you thinking?DaveB wrote:Why not send Cyberbrat out to get a job enabling him/her to buy whatever they want with their earnings!

Re: Laptop buying time
You're right of course
Should you ever consider dropping the suggestion into any future conversation, make sure you have a defibrillator handy ATB
