Help! Have just spilled tea on my Macbook Air. It's buggered (according to my techzone at work) and I need a new one. I have all my daughter's baby pix on there in the library thingie, nearly 5000 of them (only her most recent are showing up on Icloud) Are photos contained on the hard drive? If the hard drive is still intact will the photos be retrievable? Any advice gratefully received, am so, so gutted. thanks

It is likely the pictures will be recoverable, the hard drive is usually protected from spillages. It should be reasonably trivial for a computer repair place to remove the drive and copy files over to a new computer or external drive.


I'd definitely recommend picking up an external drive and making regular backups when you've got your new machine - will give you some peace of mind should anything like this happen again in the future.

      The Bishop

      By Sue · Posted

      There was a competition to name the old Uplands when it was taken over by the person  who owned the Bishop,  and "The Actress" won for obvious reasons 🤣 The Foresters was vile (in my opinion). I'm interested that there are still problems with the smell from the Gents, because in the Foresters days you could smell it as soon as you went in, and my memory is that  it felt like you were squelching your way over the carpet, though I'm sure that can't have been true 🤣

      Has anyone had food poisoning from icecream at Peckham Rye cafe?

      By Sue · Posted

      I had to phone King's this morning. The first thing you get is a recorded message saying basically that norovirus (I can't remember the exact words) is everywhere at the moment, and please don't come to the hospital if you have symptoms. I would strongly suspect that anybody with sickness and/or diarrhoea at the moment is very much more likely to have caught norovirus or similar than to have got food poisoning from an ice cream. Like COVID, one person in the family can easily get it first, and doesn't necessarily pass it on to the others, especially if they take appropriate precautions. I am very tempted to ask if it was vegan chocolate flavoured ice-cream, but I will resist. Oh, I can't 🤣 I hope your son gets better soon
