The backpacking sounds great, Gazzwa. It's a shame about the movie but I'm pretty envious of your trip. How long have you been saving up for it?
well i feel like a little bit of a tool about it, even 2 days before I leave. I'm pretty good at saving money and worked full-time for half a year to save up to go see Shep. I managed to save up about 3 times the amount I needed for that trip and of course, I wanted more adventure. So, as long as I managed to get another job for 4 months, I'd have enough money to go off again. Unfortunately for me, I'm seemingly completely unemployable and despite applying for countless jobs had no luck whatsoever. So the job centre's padded me out a little bit, and then my grandad, who I'd been caring for, died and left me a whole bunch of money, which I felt kind of weird using for something like a big trip, but then my parents split and it went a little bit shitty at my end so I thought what the hell, and the trip was on again. So I feel a bit of a tit because I haven't been able to find work for the last few months yet I'm still able to go backpacking.
To those of you in the know, regarding my dead computer - and I have no idea about computers really, it appears it's probably a hard drive failure. If this is the case, what's the likelihood of recovering files?
