14:10 - Moarskrillex42: She said something about knowing why I wanted to move to Glasgow when she came in. She plopped down on my bed and told me to go ahead and open it for her.14:11 - Peter5930: So, she thought I was your lover and that I was sending you a box full of sex toys, and that you wanted to move to Glasgow to be with me?

Laptop died on me
Hence the distortion.
This place means certain death to computers everywhere. Have a look at your event logs, Peter. They should give an indication of what's wrong. And if you need help, post here.
