I live in Bicester and was wondering if anyone knows of anybody who fixes Laptops. My son has a Sony Laptop and it decided to pack up last week after only 18 months, called sony who said it would be £500 to send it back to them for repair, which to me sounds v.expensive. Any contacts would be appreciated.

So would I - I always wondered my Oxford doesn't have one when Reading has so many!

I've always found it amusing that Oxford didn't have any budget shops when lo-and-behold, Primark opened up at the old Allders site.
There is hope for a poundland shop yet...

MAD HOT BALLROOM
Thu 27th / 20:30 / Screen 1
dir. Marilyn Agrelo
An inspiring look inside the lives of eleven-year-old New York City public school kids who journey into the world of ballroom dancing revealing pieces of themselves along the way.
Told from their candid, sometimes hilarious perspectives, they are transformed from typical urban kids to "ladies and gentlemen," as they strive toward the final city wide competition.
Providing insight into the incredible cultural diversity that is the soul of New York City, director Marilyn Agrelo profiles several kids at a dynamic and intriguing age - when becoming that "cool" teenager vies with familiar innocence while learning the merengue, rumba, tango, foxtrot and swing.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Fri 28th / 20:30 / Screen 1
dirs. Paul Crowder & John Dower
'Once in a Lifetime' is the story of the American dream colliding with the global game. The Cosmos began in 1971 as a ragtag soccer team, started on a whim by one of the most powerful men in entertainment, Steve Ross, founder of Warner Communications. Within five years, Ross had convinced the greatest player in the history of the sport to leave his beloved Brazil for the nascent Cosmos. Under Ross, football legend Pele became the richest professional athlete on the planet and the Cosmos became the most celebrated club. In the summer of '77, with a serial killer on the loose and Manhattan descending into lawlessness and chaos, the Cosmos came from nowhere to be the toast of Studio 54 and the darlings of millions of Americans. They won championships, toured the globe and started a soccer revolution in the land of baseball, basketball

Just discoverred this great service and have used it avidly ever since.
It's also a distinct pleasure to see the coin ticket machines coverred up and inactive.
