Jeans Lenovo laptop went on a go slow last week. I tried all the things I knew to rectify the situation, and after all those failed I swapped over the hard drive from an old laptop and that worked OK.

So, I ordered a new hard drive from Ebuyer and it was delivered this morning.

Using my no 2 PC I fitted the suspect drive, and the new drive in a USB caddy, then using my laptop for instructions I cloned the slow drive.

Everything went smoothly, and now Jean has a fast laptop again, infact faster because I uprated the memory from 6GB to 8GB, swapping a 2GB for a 4GB from the old laptop.

This might be easy-peasy for all you IT experts but I feel good getting it done.

you lost me at hello

Just out of interest, why didn't you get an SSD?

Didn't need one, and a 1TB too expensive.

A normal drive does what Jean wants.

just happened to look at flightradar this morning...it's got very busy again...interestingly a lot more smaller planes than are usually flying.

sadly I think this will be incremental which will smear any cut and dried environmental statistics.

Pilot flew to Anglesey 'to go to the beach'.

costly little jaunt.....

in fuel probably about £70...but there may have been landing fees...

if he'd done it 6 months ago the fuel might have cost £200...

I think I'd want to stay for a bit of a swim after shelling out that much.....but it seems he more or less came straight back....I'm suspecting ulterior motives....

Being as he landed at a military air base without prior permission he was lucky to be able to get away at all.

I'm sure the MPs would have loved it if he had gone down to the beach.

You couldn't make it up!

Leak smuggling?

I'm sure he'll claim his trip to North Wales was 'reasonable'...

Just a couple of minutes to go!
