Red-Ring-of-Death has become Silver-Rectangle-of-Dismantlement.  

S & J between them have been "fixing" the xbox, a process that seems to involve taking it more and more apart.  Anyway, it beats binning it in my book.  Normal teenagers would just ask for a new one.  We're happy to be abnormal here.

Wonder if they know where all the bits are?

Quick, if brain-deadening, trip back today - risking the M40/M25 route.  The Red Kite is most definitely no longer endangered - there were flocks of them beside the M40.
