    I'd say that stuff from a big conglomerate like Curry's/PC World, just because you know it's a legit company (although they rip you off with the PCs!) that are well known.

    I wouldn't trust them.
    This is the charger, it was not branded and came in a white cardboard box. As you can see it was only rated for 4.9v (rather than 5V) which it could barely hit and for 600mA which afaik it didn't hit. It did have a Micro USB fitted, but it got turned into a desk fan last year (3" PC fan twisted round power).

    It would seem Kondor also make OEM chargers for decent brands, but I have a good feeling they will be made to a much higher quality.

    EDIT:
    Decided to take it apart (because why not?). Some real crusty construction in there. Pics turned out really damn good though.

    I've had a 30-pin Apple charger from them before, cable was good but the charger was measly compared with the 12W unit that comes with the iPad (family's iPad, wouldn't spend that much on a tablet unless it was a full Windows one) but it was decent.

    Changed the name and icons of my audio devices, pointless but just something I like doing randomly lol.

    I have a friend that calls me whenever he needs something. Even if its something really small that could easily be done by text, he calls.
    It irritates me. I hate being disturbed by my phone ringing, and then having to dig it out of my pocket and answer it. Just fuckin text.

    I think this TV may be broken in some way; these green dots appear regardless of the input, so we've confirmed it's not the freeview box.
    Oh well. It is a 12 year old LG; needs replacing anyway. When we bought 2 from John Lewis is was probably the best ones in the shop. The other one had a similar fate except it was a big black line in the same spot.

    My dad knows the same pain, except he runs a studio business. People ring him when their light-bulb broke or if there's no toilet-paper...

    All I did was go biking and I already feel like I should wear a jacket. It's 67 F for #^^#@%!#%'s sake.

    Anyone at least one state up is probably having a huge LOL at that.

    Umm...That's... Like... Regular summer weather... :p
    It reached freezing point here today. It feels insane how quickly it went from warm to not warm this year. I certainly haven't been feeling ready for it.

    One of many ways to refer to his evilness.

    Others are: Giant orange carrot demon, and screaming cantaloupe.

    Also, you misspelled my username in your sig.

    To old, used, thrown out pieces of tinfoil are winning our election, one with the skin color of my lunch, and the other one who had been in the "New York Times" being called "Grillary".
    Spoopy Stuff.
