Bought a “brand new” Microsoft Surface direct from the store. Turns out it had superglued screws, water damage, and now it’s dead. Microsoft won’t reply. Anyone else had problems like this? @MicrosoftHelps@WhichUK#Surface#ConsumerRights#MicrosoftFail
@birchenall@MicrosoftHelps@WhichUK Not yet - they’ve basically replied once saying ‘it’s out of warranty, you’re on your own’ and haven’t responded since. I know it’s out of warranty but selling me a refurbed laptop as ‘new’ is a breach of contract!
In May, along with my brother and a group of friends, I will be driving a convoy of ambulances full of medical equipment to Western Ukraine to continue to support the people suffering from the conflict.

"This is my wife taking a nap. In an hour she will wake up, put on her scrubs and get ready for work.
The tools and items she needs to perform her job will be gathered and checked meticulously - her hair and makeup will be done quickly. She will complain that she looks awful. I will disagree, emphatically, and get her a cup of coffee.
She will sit on the couch with her legs crossed under her and try to drink it while happily playing with the toddler that's crawling all over her.
She will occasionally stare off blankly as we talk; silently steeling herself for the coming shift. She thinks I don't notice.
She will kiss the baby, she will kiss me and she will leave to go take care of people that are having the worst day of their entire lives:
Car wrecks, gunshot wounds, explosions, burns and breaks - professionals, poor, pastors, addicts and prostitutes - mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and families - it doesn't matter who you are or what happened to you.
She will take care of you.
She will come home 14 hours later and remove shoes that have walked through blood, bile, tears and fire from aching feet and leave them outside.
Sometimes she will not want to talk about it. Sometimes she can't wait to talk about it.
Sometimes she will laugh until she cries and sometimes she will just cry - but regardless of those sometimes she will be on time for her next shift.
My wife is a nurse. My wife is a hero."

@danny_robins Though potentially useful information - Luibeilt was clearly inhabited by a family called ‘Eliot’. This was in a bothy 5km to the East. Read the last paragraph.
@danny_robins Fabulous walk and really atmospheric place, but sad to report no poltergeist activity. Biggest excitement was crashing over a guy rope in the night…
@RiskSeeKing @elerianm@markets@economics Not how I’d interpret it. This is due to 2yr weakness, not 10y strength, so the market saying the Fed will have to go higher for longer to stem inflation, but the probability of late 2023 cuts is fairly unchanged.
@O2 this is two days in a row your store on Walworth Road has been ‘closed for lunch’ in the middle of the afternoon. Both times waited half an hour before giving up.
