Me in the computer repair shop today.
« on: January 31, 2011, 08:42:19 PM »
Man behind counter: Blah blah...hard drive...blah blah blah...disc...blah blah blah...files...blah blah blah...memory....dongle...blah blah blah...24 hours...blah blah blah...hard drive dongle...
Me: It's a bit nippy out.

I'm still using my wife's computer and am amazed I managed to find my way here. I'm due back in the computer shop tomorrow. Should be fun.

Well just make sure you ask him how the weather is again.

Explain that you didn't go there to be ridiculed, insulted and generally treated like an idiot.

Don't forget to ask for a PC with a coffee cup holder.

Don't just stand there and let him blind you with science fella. Blind him back with a big stick.

Bil, you're going to have to explain that to him ;)

Okay, the laptop's been fixed and I nodded wisely while the chap at the shop explained what had been the problem. "Pfff!" I said " The ol' disc-flubbit".

Don't go to him again. There's no such thing as a disc-flubbit.

No, I shall let someone else have the honour of that, Lil.  ;D

Lil, I don't know why Bilthe won't just explain it, but the "coffee cup holder" stems from a story allegedly concerning a woman who said she liked her PC's coffee cup holder, (the CD player).

Malc & Lil,  the reason why I did not explain it was because it is an 'old' IT joke, although probably true knowing that there are enough people out there who should not own a computer.  Then again, they should be as easy to use as a VCR player.

I sympathise with Bilgepump as I also thought of it as an old joke that didn't really need explaining.
