Hello, Good Evening and Welcome

Who said that?

Answers on a postcard please to ......

This is the third time I have attempted to post a new item but am obviously doing something seriously wrong - I am sure that the bottle of red wine I have just consumed is nothing to do with it!!

So as I am now seriously pissed (off) with this systen I will just leave you with a copy of an email I recieved today - which by pure coincidence is about a computer helpdesk!

happening...

Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore.
Helpdesk: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer?
Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer.
Helpdesk: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back.
Customer: OK
Helpdesk: Did the keyboard come with you?
Customer: Yes
Helpdesk: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another
keyboard?
Customer: Yes, there's another one here. Ah...that one does work!
