I arrived late my first night in Sicily and found a brothel open and had the best ride in my life. Few days later I went back and it was meh, it's luck of the draw who's working sometimes. 

You can see how the sex analogy works.

I have an Acer Aspire laptop. Bought it at the start of lockdown. Today the left hinge between the base and screen came apart. A quick google tells me that this is a common issue with this type of computer, and has been for years. I'm well out of warranty now. 

I can "clip" much of the screen back in to place but opening and closing the laptop is impossible now.

I went to Naples for 10 days and forgot to try a pizza. Shocking. 

Worthy of a red dot. However, reason enough to go back.

I could have sworn you typed brothel instead of pizza takeaway when I first read this.

Where was this? I'm in Sicily in 2 months time and need tips.

Piece of pish mate, 10 minute fix.

Cheers. I have been looking at these videos but none really get it. The issue is on the screen side, not the base side. 

Google "Acer left hinge" and you'll see the millions of posts.

West coast, Marsala. Loved it so off in a couple of weeks to Catania on the East coat, planning to travel around a bit.

I could ask the uni for a new laptop. They would give me one for free. Just not sure they would be happy with the disgusting filth I would fill the hard drive with.

Have you got a local computer repair shop to try first? It's annoying when it could be an easy fix for someone who knows what they're doing, and the manufacturers charge a fortune to get you to buy a new one instead.
