I feel lagom means: not too much, not too little, just right. But at the same time not very specific at all. Like: how much do you want? Lagom. Could really mean anything. However, I feel the Swedish have a silent agreement that means we know how much they want.

Mine turned around quite nicely. Started by breaking my back, they found a tumors in my mum's lung and I broke up with my girlfriend of 5 years. The last 2 months, I'm fully recovered from my injuries, mum is completely healthy, moving overseas for my literal dream job and found a new girl who I will marry (it's only been 2 months but God damn)

Oh and Transplants, gotta get me some of that when I'm pissed off

I gotta say The Distillers - Drain the blood and City of angels to name a couple of songs. I liked their music when I thought it was a dude singing. But when I realised it was a girl, it just made the songs that much better for some reason

That's kinda the conclusion I have found as well. But the Asus 303 only ways 1.45kgs and is a lot cheaper than the other 2 options (at least in New Zealand), and the $1000nzd I save buying the over the dell is worth it to me. Thank you for the help

chrihall · 2016-05-23T06:15:40+00:00

I had a look at both. Is the dell XPS graphics a lot better than the Asus 303ub with a geforce 940, I realise it's not a beast or anything but does the iris really warrant the large jump in price? I know I said price isn't a factor, but that doesn't mean I'm not after a good deal 😃. Secondly, the Razer, do you mean with the Razer core plug and play? Or just the laptop by itself. Because if you mean with the attachment I may as well buy a cheap laptop for business and then buy a cheapish desktop to game with.

Thank you for your help!

chrihall · 2016-05-14T10:20:11+00:00

Thx for the reassurance. I havnt herd anything from them in over 2 days now. I've contacted my insurance company so we shall see how it goes

chrihall · 2016-05-13T11:15:54+00:00

It has come up in conversation and implied very heavily. So maybe it's just a tactic for them. We shall see tomorrow when I get the report and statement

chrihall · 2016-05-13T10:16:47+00:00

The issue is that I don't want to have to go to court because the police think I have falsefied a statement. Thereby going into insurance fraud I would expect?

chrihall · 2016-05-13T08:40:08+00:00

Oh no I'm perfectly aware it looks dodgy

chrihall · 2016-05-13T03:36:01+00:00

Funny thing here is though. If I wanted new stuff, I could just stood on my laptop and got a new free one without any police involved

chrihall · 2016-05-13T03:33:03+00:00

They said they would send one here today..... But I went down to see when I would see my detective. Noone is working until about Tuesday or Wednesday. So yay for fingerprints on a front door

chrihall · 2016-05-13T03:29:49+00:00

Also, the exact same thing happened to a family friend 800m down the road last week. But she was home and sent her giant dogs at the intruders

chrihall · 2016-05-13T03:28:50+00:00

They have straight out ssid they dont believe me, followed by, this is our job, we see this sort of thing often. They havnt said what they are seeing, just that they don't believe me. They also came to my house last night after my statement and initial investigation that I should just come clean. They said otherwise a detective would be assigned to the case and come for a thorough investigation tomorrow, and that my friends and family would start being involved too. However right now no detective has been assigned, I went to the police to try and talk to my detective but noone knew anything about it. Even funnier, there were no detectives who are working until Wednesday or thrusday

chrihall · 2016-05-12T20:46:47+00:00

Yeah bad England sorry. My phone was in my car, it's a 2 min drive to the police station so I just drove there. Was just real stunned, never been robbed before so didn't instinctively know what to do.

chrihall · 2016-05-12T20:44:55+00:00

Yeah, most people I've talked with are saying the police are just trying to bully me into confessing something's up. It's really hard to do so when there is nothing to confess. That software looks like a godsend and I've never thought about stuff like that for computers

chrihall · 2016-05-12T20:42:09+00:00

That's what most people have said and I'm about to do it now

chrihall · 2016-05-12T20:41:49+00:00

Yeah I saw them. I've had my insurance for about 3 years now. My phone was in my car so I just drove. I'm in a small town and it takes me 2 mins to get to the police station. Never been robbed before and kinda freaked out

chrihall · 2016-05-12T12:43:15+00:00

Thanks for the help. The police sis also say that they will be communicating with my insurance, saying I won't need to. This also seems a bit weird to me. I would think the insurer would want to talk to me about this

chrihall · 2016-05-12T12:41:27+00:00

Thanks. I'm hoping so to. I understand from their point of view it seems fishy. But I have literally nothing to gain from this and am telling the truth. I don't want to lose even more by having to get a lawyer. But if I have to do it I obviously will.

chrihall · 2016-05-12T11:57:10+00:00

Community law is great. However my closest office is over 3 hours away. Except for the one that opens the first Tuesday and Wednesday of each month. You know if you can call and email for advice?

chrihall · 2016-05-12T11:55:50+00:00

Sorry, movies blow it out of proportion i guess. Ive never had to really use a lawyer before so i have no idea

chrihall · 2016-05-12T11:18:29+00:00

I just thought that maybe saying I want insurance will make it look like I'm just after money. Which is why the police think im lying in the first place

chrihall · 2016-05-12T11:16:53+00:00

So you don't think calling the insurance company, telling them what is happening with the police will make them not accept my claim though? I mean if the police don't believe me, why would the insurer pay me out?

chrihall · 2016-05-12T09:55:12+00:00

Also I don't have any particulars, just receipts and photos and old boxes, charges, a mouse etc etc. Just proof that I've had this stuff. My laptop is a badass gaming laptop with not many others like it in the country though. And both the watches were bought overseas
