OK - technophobe Choon here. Got new PC - gonna see if I can do the switchover now.
Told me son to butt out - 'cos I know that if I let him in the room it'll be done in a flash and I'll not know WTF has happened.
So, screwdriver in hand (I do need one of those don't I? dunno

) ... I venture forth into the unknown.
I think I'll be back - not quite sure when.
When I do get back I'll be able to type twice as quick! :twisted:
Wish me luck.

OK - (cheating on the laptop redface

) - Got the internet connection back - I'd unplugged the router and forgot rolleyes

.
Not sure whether the PC is fully working yet as I gave up in favour of a certain sporting event last night.
It keeps asking me difficult questions like 'What name did your ISP give you?' :shock: :shock: :shock:
I tried 'That twat who keeps ringing us up' but it didn't work.
Plan B. I'm going to sit and look at it when I get back from work tonight - go 'Hmmmm' before I get out and get back in a again. That's what most of the IT whizz-kids I've seen do. wink

Stormie - which iceberg do you want?
Thanks fer all the best wishes and offers of help confused

Double rations of bollox on their way.

Trouble is, he wanders off out, forgets to attach himself to a safety line - and ends up floating around cyberspace for weeks on end. Eventually a cyberspace recoveryman locates him and hauls him back in again rolleyes

As I said, could take weeks, at least with the AA you can give a rough location and they'll come get you within 4 hours. When the only clue you've got is "cyberspace somewhere", it's worse than the proverbial haystack to locate him and tow him back to the safety of SH towers!! :shock:
Angelica needs to sew the safety line to him to stop him forgetting it - bit like them gloves on string that kids have :lol2:

Idiot mitts! rotflmao

Oh, the mental image I have now! lol

FB - remembers the last time Choon went missing in cyberspace.

14 Apr 2008

OK. Thanks for all the concern biggrin

But you are not going to believe this.
First of all - it is working perfectly. drinkies

:cheers: :swingingchair:
Plan B never materialised because before I could calmly stroke beard (what beard? dunno

) and coolly announce that I was going to get out and get back in again - I was going mad

in the face and the temperature had risen 3 degrees in the room.
Then me son knocks quietly on the door - comes in because he could feel the tension in the air - asks two questions (please note he did abso-bluddy-lootely nothing) and it starts to work perfectly.
Angelica says he's a genius - he just said 'No - it just doesn't like Dad!'
Anyway I'm back. And it's super - it's even got things written on the side of the keys on the keyboard to help numpties - I'm learning them by heart because I know Angelica will bury them in crisps and wine stains before too long.
Ooooh I also remember me sodjourn wink

in cyberspace a few years ago. That was desperate. It was a real 'Ground Control to Major Tom situation'! Missy was feeding me porridge through a tube that was 2 light years long!!
Thanks for the bit o' fun today.
Let the double bollox begin!! :twisted:

Whahaaay! He's back with both bollox!
Now, seeing as there may be someone wandering around in here who has a clue......
any idea why my laptop screen doesn't come back on when it's been shut/asleep? All the lights come on, but not the screen- It worked at first innocent

but I can't find the setting I must have changed dunno

Have you tried going into chat to see if you can type in there ? :giggle:
sorry winchy but that still makes me giggle kiss

14 Apr 2008

OMG! I'd forgotten about that! rotflmao

For those of you who weren't there- my PC wouldn't run webcam & let me type at the same time......
general vote was that the option the chatters preferred was the visual....... rolleyes

So I ended up holding up a series of hadwritten signs- eg:
" I can't Type!"
"oh, bollocks!"
Etc lol
