I'm hoping for more like 5 hours.

And my house has no hot water. I wonder if plumbers work today?

I wanted to be down the pub by now and instead I am here trying to sort out computer problems.

If only used for Internet browsing Try installing Linux, probably worst that can happen with Linux is that the home directory gets encrypted.

I used to hate Christmas, then I started ignoring it and it was a lot better. Unfortunately I've allowed myself to get sucked back in this year - and I'm really pissed off with myself.

That is going to be fun.

Might be good of you to mention that just about every adult site has been compromised since October so should renew that credit card once the banks are open again.
