So, a friend of mine at work thought his £2000 projector was broken. He'd had it a couple of years, though, and so he went out and got himself a much better one for around £800 - bargain.

I spent most of the day at Tintagel, in and around the old castle there, but I also visiting a small village just up the coast, for a spot of lunch.
