Behind you... Naked!
You know... For the last few years I have not been 100% in the head. I know this and I can cope just fine with it, but in the last 2 months I have taken it up a gear and I can honestly say that I truly am a plonker of the highest order.

I will give you 2 great examples.

1:

Mate has a PC, its a fairly good one, Hex core AMD 3.2Ghz, Gigabyte 990AX Mobo, 4GB RAM, 500w Corsair PSU, Xigamatek case but the HDs are duff and no matter what, after a few minutes of a fresh install, it kills itself.

I said that Id like the Mobo for my 8120 cos I had ju8st bought a 970 for it a few days back.

Anyway, after a while, he said would I swap his setup for one of mine.

I told him he can have my eldest sons PC. It was a Q9450 setup but it runs like a charm. It was the one in the far corner on the right hand side.

Now, I recently had an accident and I am unable to go to the LAN room, being stuck downstairs and so after some messing about, he came down and I realised a few things...

1 - The case is my Lian Li
2 - The CPU Cooler is my Titan Vanessa
3 - The C: is a 60GB SSD
4 - The GFX is an nVidia 260

So, I remembered it was a bit better than I thought, but I said its ok.

I was gutted.

Anyway a few days later, my mate phoned up as he could not put Windows 7 onto it. After some more questions it hit me... Its got 2x60GB SSDs as I was experimenting with RAID on that before my accident, plus its got a 2GB Brand new HD, plus its got the Q9650 and 8GB RAM FFS!

I was close to devastated.

Recently, I also gave another mate a Hexcore 2.6 CPU and Mobo and some RAM to get him started, only to realise that the RAM I let him have was a pair of HyperX that I have only just bought from the MM here less than a week previous, plus the RAM he already ha is DDR3 anyway so he does not actually need the RAM at all!

Then, to top things off, I gave another friend an old laptop only to remember that I put in a 120GB SSD and 4GB DDR2 ( yes 2 ) from my wifes Samsung, and now I have to buy those again cos my mate sold off the Laptop!!!!

My life is a long line of prat and plonk

If you 'friend' sold the laptop ask him for the money. Seems like you are misguided in you choice of friends if they are happy to do that to you.
 
So you have a wife and kids and you're allowed to throw money at so much PC stuff you can't keep track of it all? How did you achieve this fantastical set of circumstances? Tell me, dammit!!!
 
If we're talking about doing idiotic things, I had a great moment of stupidity last week:


- Kitchen sink is a little slow to drain. It's starting to smell.
- I take off the U-bend to clear out the gunk. It's full of brown stinking water and other unidentified particulate.
- "Better not spill any of this... I don't want it going all over the kitchen"
- Very, very carefully carry the U-bend up to the sink. Very carefully pour it down the sink. Which is missing it's ****ing U-bend.
- Hear splashing. Realise I've just done. Swear at myself. Facepalm.
- Stinking brown drain-water all over the sink cupboard and its contents.

HAHA YES :D
 
OP, take things easy while you recover from what happened to you. To recover faster, just transfer me £500 to my bank account. Thanks.

Duff-Man, you fool :D Best story EVAR!
