    Just finished my London to Brighton walk. Walked 100km over 25 hours in a 34 hour period. Absolutely knackered but my mum, my sister and I raised over £2500 for Cancer Research so totally worth it. Very emotional as my cousin passed away from cancer last week so we were doing the walk in her memory.

    Well done, Tom. You all should be very proud of yourselves.

    Just a quick cameo for me (I know it's closed season but needs must).

    Our daughter's college keeps all their notes and revision information online, so she needs a laptop to be able to access them while revising.

    Her laptop has had a fatal fit of the vapours and will need extensive (and likely expensive) repairs.

    If you're within ten miles of Southampton (or so) and have a laptop that you'd be prepared to lend for a fortnight while hers is rebuilt, you would help to save her exams and prevent her being branded a failure then ending up a broken shell living off government handouts for the rest of her existence (that's how she currently views the matter).

    Any spec would do - I know we all have odds and sods mouldering in corners but chez Vin there are no laptops. Hopefully there's one lurking somewhere in someone's attic.

    Please let me know if you can help.

    Vin

    Try Freecycle or Freegle. If I lived nearer she could borrow mine...

    They do but they're generally restricted to an hour - she just needs something she can use anywhere she is. She can use the PC I'm using here at home but she'll be in various libraries and study groups up until her exams so she needs something portable.

    Bloody kids. What's wrong with an Adidas bag full of folders and textbooks? Worked for me.

    I saw that Kite farm on the television once, where they had buzzards too. One scavenges and the other preys, so they went well together.
