I would've asked for a refund for the movie.
We saw San Andreas staring the Rock today. It was vastly improved by a special person (older man in a wheelchair) who talked with the movie.
Some examples:
Movie: "What have we got?"
Man: "Earthquake"
He also said at various times "no earthquake bad", "earthquake bad", "no", "yes".
All was perfectly timed with the movie, and it made an otherwise average movie much better.
It was even better given the women up the back who went off at a group of young girls who were talking during the credits. (They are credits you don't need to hear them) I was picturing her fuming at the special man.

Take it straight back and tell them it is "Dead on arrival" for an immediate exchange. Do not settle for a repair job.

Hrrmph. Left my glasses at work, so am squinting slightly at the screen tonight.
And in unrelated news (because I don't wear glasses when I cook) I have now got a nice slice in my thumb. The one disadvantage of extremely sharp knives.

No but three bandaids do. One along, and two across.

The trick is to have plenty of spare Specsavers glasses everywhere.
i have 2 sets at home and 1 set in each car and a pair on a rope around my neck, yes that is a tragic look but as my long range vision is perfect I can't see a thing up close, also another pair in the carry on bag for when we travel.

The annoying thing is that I have a pair of glasses I leave at work, and left my other pair there as well.

Returned the laptop. Of course it was the last one in stock. They've located one in another store but I cant get there till the end of the week. So right now I've paid for a computer I don't have...

Not sure of your budget or urgency. If you're not in a rush, get your money back and wait a little for the new Microsoft Surface Pro 4:

If blackcat20 is anything like me, then once her mind is made up, that is it! Decision made and no correspondence will be entered into.

The price points of the Surface 4 will be an interesting sticking point, too.
In addition, for the purposes that blackcat20 has in mind, one would have to factor in the keyboard addition to the price. I'm not entirely convinced myself.
$2.7k

And the fact I need to make the purchase by June 30 to claim it on my tax. Very happy with what I've chosen, aside from the dodgy pixels.

Wait, you were prepared to sun lounge but you didn't bring sunscreen?
Well, I guess you can at least buy sunscreen...

That's easy.
If I were you, it would be the one nearest the large (

.Also, if the red flag means no swimming, then you have plenty of time on your hands...:mrgreen:.
