Yorkshire-based ebuyer.com are offering the Lenovo Ideapad 120S (14") for £139.97

The spec is pretty basic but it does come with Windows 10 - albeit the restrictive Windows 10S. Seems as though you can still upgrade to Windows 10 Home/Pro for free, although the laptop may struggle a bit with this.

Gets good reviews, might be worth considering if you're in the market for a new, low budget, laptop.

Parrot swears at London firefighter trying to rescue it from roof

A "foul-mouthed" parrot launched a four-letter tirade at a firefighter as he tried to rescue the bird from a neighbour's roof in north London.

Jessie's owner had asked for help after the multilingual Macaw parrot spent three days on the roof in Edmonton.

The RSPCA called in the London Fire Brigade (LFB) to rescue the bird.

Crew manager Atinc Horoz climbed up a ladder to save Jessie but was met with a volley of swear words from the parrot, which then flew off.
