My 9 year old wants a gaming laptop and my laptop spec knowledge is minimal. He wants to play Fortnite and Minecraft and the like, nothing fancy. Any ideas re good laptops to buy, or good places to look? I'm in the UK and my budget is 300 quid tops, ideally less.

    Santa Steps Out was wild.

    'Sex, Death, and Santa Claus

    His generosity is legendary. He has a devoted wife, a crack team of sky-borne reindeer, hordes of industrious elves, and the love of good little boys and girls around the globe. But what unholy desires now propel him into the lascivious clutches of a certain fairy? And who was he before the sleigh and workshop, in times forgotten?

    She munches on molars, summons drowned sailors to her pleasure, and recalls, sharp as a pinprick, her life as the most savage of ash nymphs. Why then is she stuck, night after night, hovering above pillows to leave coins for gap-toothed brats? More important, how quickly can she captivate the jolly old elf to the north?

    He's huge, fluffy, lonesome, and unbearably horny. On his Easter rounds, he contrives, as often as possible, to get a grip on himself and peer into interesting bedrooms. But who in the world will throw him down and ravage him as the lovers under his gaze ravage one another?

    Deadite Press is proud to bring back the ultimate erotic Christmas story from Robert Devereaux'

    I'm 42 and my uni debt was about 15k GBP, down to a couple of grand now as I've just been paying interest until the last 5 years when I landed a good job and started clearing it. Out of interest, what was the amount you owed in your country when you finished, and what do you owe now at your current age?

    Some guy who got a load of wire wrapped around his rear wheels and the car just sat up on its rear end like it was standing to attention.

    Made me think of The Melvins album 'Prick'. The final track has the intro 'And now, for your listening pleasure, a few moments of pure digital silence.'

    I'd be an awful person if I didn't like my family more than my job. Yeah, I'd love a better split of work and home time, but it is what it is. I'm home by 5.30pm or earlier every weekday, so there's evenings and weekends for family time, but we couldn't do things if I didn't have a job that pays well.
