A very nice person phoned from the PC World customer service centre to remind me that if my laptop wasn't back from the menders by the first of December, I should go back to the shop and claim my dues by the 28-day warranty rule, ie, I get a brand new one. I was quite stunned to be to offered this advice, quite unasked for.
Considering that I'd only had the 'old' laptop for 4 weeks before it broke, it seems wasteful to get a whole new one, but I'm tempted.
In other news I made an exceedingly rich fruit cake. I love recipes that stipulate two different grades of brown sugar. It's now steeping in brandy in a dark place.
eta: an interesting discussion on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yonmei's journal about the Ryairi Dougal rape case that was thrown out of court today, the guy who seems to have thought it was okay to have sex with a woman who was passed out drunk. Not only that, he was a security guard who was supposed to be making sure she got home okay.
