Sorry Sparky !!!!!! rolleyes

Is this not that makes you money ? evil

I'm a brunette and would have to say.........if I was 20 and not nowing I would expect some sort of professonalism from you ! :evil:
I would have to say Blonde is playing on the situation and not being dumb. :twisted:
I will have you know that some men have not got 2 light bulbs that would inspire a connection for commom sense ! :confused2:

It's a light bulb, init ? To some that is the extent of their knowledge, hence calling in an expert.

When I used to teach people how to use computers, some of the students would be embarrassed about things they didn't know. I'd put them at their ease by telling them some of the stories from the early days of computers being used in offices.....
Such as people making a spelling error, & tippexing out the error on the monitor screen. And then getting very uptight when the text moved up the screen......... & the tippex stayed where it was.
A bloke who rang a help line to complain about the piercing noise coming from his PC. The chap on the other end of the phone asked him all the usual things......... & then asked the bloke if perhaps the noise was coming from his house burglar alarm. The phone went dead!!! lol

:lol:

As a trainer my favourite saying to deligates was, the only stupid question is the one not asked.
Put all at ease

Sparky,
Bayonet...screw..... what u talking about?????
why is it funny????
I once had to call a plumber out to fix the sink...... he took the u bend thing off and got showered with rice............. I'd cooked too much so put it down the sink
Called the gas man out............ but when he got here he couldn't mend the shower coz it was electric............ which I thought was unfair coz the hot water is heated by gas.
Could go on with these for ever...........
True blonde...........soz
