I'll have a side of BUGGER with that please

So, we all know how awesome I am with technology. Actually I'm pretty good but stuff just seems to happen to me.

In our latest episode we come across a struggling traveller whose laptop meets with an unfortunate accident. In that a speaker, amongst millions of wires is pulled down onto the screen of her laptop rendering it useless.

The poor weary traveller looks up to the sky and thinks - in the vein of Job but of course not being blasphemous at all - why dear God why?

Luckily the weary traveller has recently received money back from medical expenses in New Zealand and goes forth and buys a mini - less powerful laptop. Which is also in the Swedish alphabet - didn't think of that!

However, pictures of mine adventures, iTunes music and other sundry items are lost. In hope, she takes herself off to the local electronics store, but alas, in vain, they cannot access her computer hard drive.

Realising that in a foreign land she cannot do much she still looks to the light of the Anglo world and will trudge around with laptop until a brave Canuk can rescue her precious items. Failing this the back up plan will be to ship the damn thing home because the traveller knows of a brave knight in the land of Aotearoa who can always fix her troubles.

Disheartened at excess expenditure the weary traveller is reminded by a Swedish fairy princess that she has full travel insurance and may be able to claim...

and thus the story of the weary and disheartened traveller is TO BE CONTINUED....
