Just got a couple of posts in and my new laptop decided all on its own to upgrade to Windows 8.1 and now its setting up so I cant use it. Oh, and we now have fibre optic in our village.

I missed Vista out, too many problems. I opted for Win7 when it superseded it. Had most of the kinks ironed out by then.

I have 8.1 but didn´t bother upgrading to 10 as a couple of people I know lost stuff, I have it set up so it starts up and looks like the old windows desktop, and although sometimes I click too far to the side and get all the gubbins associated with 8 etc on the whole I could be using my old Vista.
I can also quickly change from a Spanish to English keyboard just by pressing the
and the spacebar

Apparently I have a cloud now, how bloody useful. Some sunshine would be better. Or some virtual sex with celebrities. I could stick it in Madonnas gob to shut the silly cow up.

Well, everything I had before still works but then again I dont have any aps. Not sure what they are really. Patsy tells me they are APPLICATIONS. Can I apply for a blowjob please? 
Had problems with my broadband last couple of days so I had to phone them up. Scottish lady, I had to ask her to speak slowly. Anyway after some faffing about its now working again. Then she tells me I am on channel 1. She says everybody is on channel 1 but I will put you on channel 6, it will be much faster............ Hmmm, cant say I've noticed much difference so far.
