Bye, just in case like.

[GROWLER]

I have a new 2nd hand laptop now too and it's ace....ish.

Mind you don't cut your fingers on the slivers of broken glass in the keyboard. 

 

....and YOU, yes YOU, can stop bloody well encouraging him too.

[GROWLER]

I bought, YES BOUGHT, LEGIT like, this 2nd hand laptop for MM, not that she deserves it at the moment, for her to do her course work on, and her 'chatting' to her mates on faceache and the like, mainly to free this thing up for the rest of us.

However, Mrs G is already ranting and raving about the dangers of placing it on her lap. Dagerous electronic waves being ommitted or some other such shite.
What's the truth behind this latest wives tale of hers then?
Problee come from the MIL, as most of her garbage statements do.

[Miss Demeanour]

If she lets MM talk on a mobile phone and is satisfied this is not going to fry her brain, then what's the difference between that and her laptop ?

[Nick]

Make her a tin foil apron

I dunno. You ask me, I ask you.

Yet more mumbo jumbo from the archives of Mrs G's for me to decipher into probably utter scare mongering shite then I presume?

NEVER warns me about any potential dangers for anything I notice.

It is all bollocks Growler...

The perceived danger of sitting with a lap-top on your lap is based in the fact that a number have been known to burst into flames ..... this was a battery issue and has supposedly been resolved. The only other problem is that some lap-tops get very hot and some people have suffered burns to their thighs.

But of course the techies will say this is bolloxs. So I'll provide some sources for them to ponder.
http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dell-battery-fire.htm

In conjunction with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Dell and Apple Computer announced large recalls of laptop batteries in the summer of 2006, followed by Toshiba and Lenovo. Sony manufactured all of the recalled batteries, and in October 2006, the company announced its own large-scale recall. Under the right circumstances, these batteries could overheat, potentially causing burns, an explosion or a fire.

Most people seem agreed that using a laptop will not expose the user to any more "radiation" than using a mobile phone.


Of course if people would stop calling them "Laptops" which strictly speaking they ain't and start calling them "Notebooks" which is what they are ~  the problem would go away over night. 









 
Prepares for tirade of abuse for presuming to answer a computer related question.

Bollocks like I said then...? 

[GROWLER]

Bollocks like I said then...?  

....and me too.
Total utter pure as the freshly driven snow, unmitigated grossly incompitant scare mongering bloody  bollox...as usual, fresh from the annals of crap 'so called ' facts in Mrs G's clouded  mind.

She's just gone to work!
Sweet as a nut.

Apparently though, did you know, I said DID YOU KNOW, "nuts aren't sweet". It's a FACT..apparently












These Asda cashews are ssssso bitter you know, and as for the Honey roast ones, well what can I say?

Mind you don't cut your fingers on the slivers of broken glass in the keyboard.  

Stereo typing again are we DS?
Getting a bit mono tonous IF you don't mind me saying so like?

You have every right to feel miffed if I omit the  .

We all know really that the proportion of light-fingered folk round your way is much less than 100%.

Just like the proportion of snooty, overpaid shandy-drinkers down here.

Oh yes. Don't be offended. I'm being particulary snarly and reaching new previously unchartered heights of extreme bad temperdness with virtually everyone at the moment.
I have had the most unbelievably shitty bad week,both at work and home, and DO NOT ask what happened to me this morning on the way home from Asda that did actually push me 'over the edge' with rage.

" THE CAT" is getting his own back on me now, of that I'm sure.
