Unhappy Ninja

So my wife has a coke bottle that explodes near my step-son whilst using my laptop, which was later shut down by my daughter. The laptop no longer turns on...sigh. Who do I blame?

Hopefully it can be fixed without major dramas

Sue Coke for a Jagillion dollars and buy another laptop. That's the American way.

Where there's a blame, there's a claim

See a specialist injury lawyer.

Can't stand those adverts

Case clear. Don't let women touch your computer, cause this is how it always ends.

No thank you. I like my house NOT burned down

When it comes to hiring women, I think the decision should be mostly based on the woman's T and A

Talent and ability.

Update:

Laptop appeared to be pretty dead. I could have had it sent away for £50 for checks only to risk having confirmation that yes it is indeed dead. The power cable was working fine (registering a current) and my hard drive was saved onto an external drive in PCWorld so no upset there.

I've had the laptop for nearly five years and didn't game on it, only filing work, internet surfing, ITunes etc so no biggie (and it had Vista

).

Ended up buying a new laptop for just over £300 with Windows 8 and i3 processor.

Oh well that's life, I guess

That's just silly, the kitchen is where you stow all the empty Amazon and Newegg boxes. I built my computer in the living room.

Of course it is, but not yours. She's expecting delivery any minute.
