My computer has gone west i was reinstalling windows and it packed in half way through formatting my c; drive just died i am pretty sure i saw a flash come from inside the case and smelt a faint smell of smoke oops.


decided to take it back to CCL asp so Saturday i drove over with my shuttle pc in the boot thought i better take the windows xp o/s disc all original paperwork for the system build and the serial number for when they had to reinstall windows.


got over there and dropped it off saw someone on the service desk gave him a brief on what happened he wanted the windows certificate they use there own disc i didn't have it its at home on my disc case i showed him the original disc the serial number the receipt which i bought from them at CCL i was not impressed.

so monday whilst at work i had to borrow the minibus and shoot over to Tong near Bradford to take the certificate so the installation of xp can take place when they get round to fixing it that is which is between ten to fourteen days but i bet its more like three weeks.

Just outside Tong garden centre the exhaust started blowing big style was equal to the noise of a jet engine and the faster i picked up speed the more i had to keep popping my ear drums anyway made it back without getting stopped by the police without anyone being any the wiser it would have blown at some stage but it happened whilst it was not being used for works purpose.

The worst thing about being not online is going to have to watch crap tv and get totally bored out of my head iam going to crack up just know it
