I've just got a new toaster.
It's got blue lights and you can fit normal sized slices in it.
Oh, and it has a wide slot. 
I've just got a new kettle that changes colour, blue and pink!!!! ! a smaller slot, but has a very friendly filter

I love my blackberry for that very reason,(one of many) its like a keyboard and no pressing a key a few times to get to the letter or number you want.

Ditty when I thought my laptop burnt out I bought a Sony Vaio I do not know if it was a one off but I had nothing but trouble with it I was on the helpline every night,I said to them I am sorry I never bought a mac they asked me how long I had it because if it was less than 30 days I could change it I had it 29 days I took it back to PC World and they let me change it for an apple mac it did cost more but it was well worth it ..you have a good memory

I only remembered because we daredn't mention Vaio's in front of MrDitty.. My daughter killed his beloved Vaio by spilling a can of Fanta over it.
Years on its still a sore subject
Vaios are, for want of a better word, cack 
I dunno if they just sellotape them together and hope for the best as they drop kick them into the van for delivery 
Only allow the 'diet' versions of fizzy drinks near laptops

Worst thing about it was.. it happened at a time when I had had a bad run of spilling lager over my laptops... and he had already said no drinks at all near his lappy. she wasn't using it.. I was.
But she did one of her spectacular falling over her own feet falls across the living room.. can in hand.. and the fanta homed in on the Vaio!

He didn't have it long enough to fall out of love with it.. so in his head he had the ultimate lappy & Ickle & I destroyed it
Given the long list of things he has accidently trashed of mine.. I am not losing any sleep over it

It is proper and fitting revenge for killing the Dyson

Oh Saz! While my Sony gently weeps

Yeah... I would say that, but I know what response I would get. I was a bit heartbroken about the Dyson, so as an exception to the "do not buy me domestic appliances as gifts" rule, he bought me the Dyson Animal as a wedding anniversary gift.
I cooked him a nice dinner
AND.... not long after all this happened.. the water tank in our loft ruptured, flooding the house. We both got new laptops with the insurance claim - we had alot of stuff to replace, and after much research we both chose Asus laptops as our replacements.
