Short Story About The Laptop and The Bug.

Me and the misses have got a laptop which is now dead, unfortunately, it had gone through some rough times and one those is when it had a visitor. A little bug and no, it wasn't software, it was an actual real life bug/insect and what it had done was crawl behind the screen. So, we sat there waiting for it to come out but it never did so what does the misses do, POKE IT, splat. Great, now it's stuck behind the damn screen which later formed a line across the screen.

So, we get onto Dell about using their online chat service with a guy on the other end helping out. This was all good, however, trying to explain what had happened wasn't as easy as it should have been. We kept explaining that it wasn't a bug ON the laptop but a bug behind the screen. He was like 'OK then, let me take over your computer to see what the problem is'. Like an idiot I did, to see what he did, oh that's right nothing. He was even about to open the pictures folder but we hit escape before he did. WHAT an idiot, clearly didn't have a clue what he was doing.

After finally getting him to understand he said 'Oh right, we will send someone out and we'll replace the screen'. THANK FUCK FOR THAT. We got it sent away and about a week later got it back with a surprisingly better screen, nice high definition screen with a glossy finish. Shame I didn't take any pictures. Oh well. At least I'm not the only one.

My advice would be if you've got a bug crawling around behind your screen, don't press on it and someone looking for a laptop to not get one from Dell.

Ghost Story.

We all ask the question. Do ghost's really exist?

Well, I believe they do because 1 night me and my brother were watching a film called Billy Elliot at around 11:30pm, we were only about 11 and my brother must've been about 9 or 8.

Anyway, we were sitting there on these been bags and on the left there was a table with my empty pint sized plastic cup on it with a few other things. Then all of a sudden at the corner of my eye which I didn't think much of, I saw the cup move just a few centimeters. Now I didn't quite believe this as I was too busy watching this movie but I still had to move it back. Then about 5 minutes later I seen the cup move full on and it moved from the centre, up a little bit then it moved down to the edge of the table. It was barely hanging of.

I looked at my brother who had also seen it too and it looked like he had just seen a ghost. We both looked at each and said, "Did you see that?". I looked at the DVD and TV thinking, should I turn it off, but my first initial thought was, 'fuck it' and we both bombed it upstairs, leaving the TV on which had a coin meter and the DVD.

Now you might be thinking about this and saying 'What bullshit' but trust me and I swear on my mothers life that this is for real and it's defiantly something I will remember for the rest of my life.
