T-1000

I always wondered if they changed “Hasta la vista, baby” back into English in the Spanish version of Terminator 2 but no, Arnie says “Sayonara, baby” instead, that’s my interesting fact of the day… Getting rid of the orange laptop was a bit like the last scenes of Terminator 2, what with the desperate fight set in a factory, the shape shifting metal and the final lowering of the beast into an industrial smelting pit (ok a cardboard box back to England) but spine chillingly it's clawed it's way out and is in hot pursuit!! Thanks to DHL for their refusal to send batteries without a special package, it looks like the heaviest laptop in the world will be coming on holiday to Cambodia with me…at least I can be in contact with the real world…fuck it, there’s still time for an accident…

I had to go for a farewell dinner with the factory owners son and Charles, it wasn’t too bad apart from when Po was accusing Charles of being too harsh and I agreed. He looked quite surprised and hurt, but on average he does make at least 3 employees a week cry, so frankly he can shut up!! Anyway they dropped me off and the good byes were very casual as always, as we all know, I’ll be back (do you like what I did there, tied in another Terminator reference, you can never have too many!!)

Final view of the factory, which is always amazing (there are 9 more buildings the same size as this for anybody who's interested) The liquid metal pit and nanomorphing laptop are erm...behind me
