Me: OY!

Laptop: What?

Me: I need to access some files on the PC in the office.

Laptop: So?

Me: When I try to connect, you just say that the network drive is unavailable.

Laptop: Have you tried switching on the other PC?

Me: Don’t be fucking smart.  I used to be able to access them, but now, for the last few days, I can’t.

Laptop: Have you tried rebooting?

Me: Don’t treat me like an idiot.  What is going on?

Laptop: Have you tried resetting the router?

Me: Hold on……….

………

Me: No difference, but now I can’t access the Interweb.

Laptop: You forgot to reset the address.

Me: Aw fuck!  I can’t remember what it was.  Now I have to phone my provider.  You’re a right bastard.

Laptop: Heh! 

………

Me: OK.  I’m connected again, but I still can’t see the other PC.

Laptop:  Have you been messing with the settings again?

Me: I haven’t touched the fucking settings.  I’m getting annoyed now.

Laptop: Oooooh!  I’m scared.

Me: Will you stop messing and tell me what’s wrong?

Laptop: Click on ‘Help’.

Me: You know that Help thing is damn all use.

Laptop: Have you tried Google?

Me: All I get is a load of propeller-heads who use language I can’t understand.  Will you please tell me why you won’t connect to the PC?

Laptop: Because it called me a jumped up little Tandy.

Me: Oh Christ!
