# This makes me feel better!
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
I have had the worst fucking day. My new monitor was faulty so I had to return it to PC World.
£8 taxi down
They did have a replacement so I paid £70 more for a slightly larger monitor.
£9 taxi back
Monitor which I specifically asked to be as good graphics capabilities turns out to be piece of shite TV.
Decide to go to thenearer High St Ken branch to get a refund and buy my old monitor back online. They won't take it and insist that I have to take it to the Fulham branch
£15 tax to from home to HSK branch and back to Fulham branch.
Arrive at Fulham branch and tell them I want a refund or a monitor that is really the same spec as my orginal one.
They guy comes back with a brand new, boxed model identical to my original monitor. The one they said they didn't have.
£10 taxi home.
Total taxi:£42!

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I did get some really cool gaming headphones though.

EDIT: Ironically I did see a Windows Vista PC to PC back up cable for £20

IT was a posh looking crossover cable!

It takes him a while to answer though; every time his phone rings he pats all the pockets of his trench coat with a cigar in his hand and looks confused.
