Re: Looking to sell my laptop prize
Because all of my devices are Windows, and Windows and Apple don't always play together so well when you try to make them talk (At least, they don't when I try and make them - it's probably easy for someone who's less technophobic). Additionally I already have a "serious" laptop for my job...

Looking to sell my laptop prize
Hi all, sorry to post this here, but giving a few things a go for catching people outside my Facebook list. Part of my prize for winning the latest series was a 13-inch 128GB Macbook Air, 2017 version. It's a great bit of kit, I have no doubt, but unfortunately it's just not really suited to my need...

Re: Spoilers for 27th July 2018.
Think Bob is the best bet we've seen for octochampdom so far I think. He has a good wordbank for a non-apterite and his numbers are solid enough. Nevertheless, despite the difference in maxes, Alex put up a good fight and left with a decent losing score. Though , Bob's mannerisms make him remind me...
