SNOW! SNOW!!!!1

[rebness]

Ahem.

How I love snow. Just been playing with my dogs out in it. They love it as much as I do! Must actually get a camera tomorrow and take pictures. :D

So my laptop is a load of crap. It's ridiculously slow at processing and ugly and oh yes, it burns through chargers and won't recognise the battery so I have to keep it placed at a certain angle or it switches itself off. One tax rebate later, and I'm in the market for a new laptop.

I spent my lunch hour today checking out different sites. The best deal for the one I wanted was at Dixons (a UK electronics store). I started to fill in my details when I noticed this:

 

Immediately, I checked the site address. A phishing website, perhaps? A fake address? I clicked around the website to see if there were any other obvious errors. I didn't find any but I decided on one of two things:

1. It's a phishing website. Abort, abort!

2. Dixons is sloppy and also offends my sensibilities. Abort, abort!

I went to another online store and bought the laptop there instead. So, you know. A sale lost because of sloppy grammar. I am badass. And also a dickwad.

Also, I've just realised that the snow will delay my sexy new laptop getting here! Daaaamn.

LOL, awesome post. It was a good idea to walk away from them. Or as you so eloquently put it....abort! abort!

We got a smidgen of snow here yesterday and there is supposed to be a smidgen more on Sunday. It's just enough to be obnoxious, not much fun, but I'm glad you're having a nice time. I would love to see some pictures.

We have to stick up for grammar!

Yes, that's exactly it! I like it when it's enough to be pretty, not enough to destroy my life. >:)
