How many times have you been on a night out, your mates are lined for a photo, often in unbalanced poses and pulling a funny but difficult-to-hold facial expression, and you’re about to take a picture and your camera just dies?

I admire some of you though – you don’t give up - you take the battery out and put it back in again and it always gives you a bit more juice.
What annoys me most about this is when your phone or camera is low on battery. It doesn’t try to preserve this power it has left - it screams and flashes at you until it inevitably dies. It’s the equivalent of someone constantly telling you that they are worried their voice is going.

So basically, if you don’t know the code, your phone dies even though it’s got reserves somewhere. Well that’s just great! Who do they think they are? This isn’t the same as that Grand Theft Auto game where if you press the Triangle and the X buttons seven times each, whilst doing a twirl, you can get a Bazooka - this could be a matter of life and death.
Why hasn’t the self-charging battery been invented? Surely there’s a way? Can’t the battery use the energy it produces and recycle it? I still don’t know how the hell fax machines can do what they do and they’ve been around for ages! AND they don’t need charging! Ok that’s slightly different.
Recently I bought this laptop, which I’m using now in Caffe Nero, and it’s great but I didn’t think I’d have to ch……..
