We all know a few things about our mate Roachie. A few of us know that Mrs Roachie is an excellent
cook. Those Anzac biscuits and Melting Moments are a real treat.
But please tell me why she would add a glass of
water to the Laptop computer especially in these times of drought. I really hope that you did it in your designated watering time.
I'm also led to believe that it wasn't an act of revenge either and that he still loves her dearly.
Please explain.

I was toying with saying that his Terminal is terminal but thought it might be a bit cheesy.

My inside information came from a more technical person from whom the Roach clan tried to elicit some assistance. Too late methinks

Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeady! there Spy who came in from the cold.
Don't you dare lag Member Blaze in as 'stool pidgeon' in this incident, otherwise your 50's will no doubt end up a 25's.
ROFLMAO x 1059 re the whole thread.
Can just see Roachie now pulling up at the front door and when apprised of the situation:
Aw! chit Nette, not in front of the kids. (LOL)

Hey Pesty.
Make sure you take a Video Cam so you can get the 'usual suspects' to do a re-enactment for the:
Forum funniest home video section
Just make sure you stand back so you don't get splashed.

Greetings to y'all (bloody knockers and blaspheemers!!!!).......
Unfortunately the said incident did indeed occur a couple of afternoons ago. Thankfully, _I_....... (being a computer wizard and purveyor of all-things "technical") was just pulling-up out the front, after a hard day at the office and was able to swing into action (just like Superman).......
The lights were still on but the screen had gone blank. It only took a moment for me to remove the battery and unplug all the cords that usually hang out of the said piece of equipment (like the tubes and monitors you see hanging out of every orrofice of a bed-ridden, terminally ill hospital patient). It was up-ended and after a short consultation with our private "I.T. Help Desk" (based in
Berri, SA), copious quantities of a nasty, ozone-layer-depleting substance called "ELECTROLUBE" were sprayed everywhere and anywhere on and in the errant machine.
One misconception I would like to correct if I may...... Somebody mentioned above that it was a gross waste of that most precious of commodities; WATER. You may be pleased to know that the water we use here is all recylced. As such, the challenge of getting the laptop to work properly again, was further complictaed by me having to use various small
tools and impliments to extract the "solids" from underneath the keys..... that was the really "chitty" part of the job!!!

Glad the lappy is up and running again.
I did hear that the account for the technical advice is way above the value of the machine. Knowing your IT Tech assistant, the bill is already in the post.
Pity the troll wasn't so easy to fix.

Roachie! Roachie! Roachie!
Maaaaaaaaaaate! why did you have to go and admit the 'recycled water' thingy for.
It's one thing for you and SWMBO to pee on the keyboard to stop it catching on fire when you two are firing off rapid responses to cunningly constructed emails elucidating the muck-ups perpetrated by the pair of you.
However you didn't have to tell all an sundry the one of you got a tad 'carried away' whilst in the midst of this unusual fetish.
Then again, Trevor(R) did identify that South Australians were 'fetish' prone.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Me thinks you two have joined the” laptopper stoppers” – just as mine did not make a great Maxtrac .
And wasting that valuable “
grey” water – no wonder we need longer mooring lines on our boats!!
Need a full investigation Pesty – could be fitting water injection to get the Chev to perform ?

Go back to bloody bed you misfit!!!
PS: still waiting to hear from you about whether you're coming to the xmas party here tomorrow? We'll be going to the Hotel Ventnor for lunch on Sunday (I've got clients to catch up with at Port Vincent, so will drop the family off at the beach for an hour or so while I go and "strut my stuff".......hahahahah)
PPS: how's the recovery coming along? You'd be used to being in a forced recovery situation, wouldn't you!!!!! hahahaha It's just that this time it is actually Lucky; not Lucy that is being recovered!!!! hahahaha

It is with sincere regret that I must inform you that Lucy is indeed GETTING MUCH BETTER. That means a huge increase in his ill-informed fact bending keyboard antics.

You three definitely need to go to the Toyota 'school of couth and culture'.

If only you dispatched of the Droopy and happened upon something capable of meeting and surviving the modules you verbosely indite above, you would petition the Owner/Operator of this site asking for the symbol of overpriced ostentatiousness to be obliterated from these hallowed halls.
Indeed if they were to be of the nomenclature "King" their first name would have to be WANG.
