They wouldn't repair the motherboard. I just got it back from Gigabyte and they did repair it. But it took them so long that I ended up buying another system, this time from a decent reseller (Kustom PCs). I decided to go ...

If I had not stopped drinking, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be married 7 years! It's been a great day. We got each other a woolly jumper from the sh...

The retailer had tested it for 48 hours and there were no issues. The new video card I bought didn't make a difference either, so I'm now down 30 quid for a video card that I didn't need.

I listened to the version read by Richard Matthews, a British reader and he read it very well indeed. Of course the book was originally written in French and I know not who did the...
