My satellite signal is driving me insane at the moment, it keeps going for no apparent reason.
Lots of things round my house keep going for no apparent reason. Not least me. Still, as long as it keeps happening I try not to worry unduly.  Wink

Would you like me to rephrase?  It keeps stopping going...  Wink Cheesy

Funny how technology has moved on.  Not too long ago the standard fix for things not working properly was to give them a thump.  It usually worked.  Now we've moved on to switching things off and on again.  Or unplugging/replugging.  Ah, the ever-forward march of progress.

I can usually get by with just a stern, hard stare.

A memorable moment at work was when a CD got stuck in my CD drive.  A colleague came over and thumped it on top and it popped out.  He thought he was the Fonz for months.

Or calling someone over to watch it go wrong.

The funniest one as far as my old house was concerned was when the smoke alarm went off for no reason (it did this from time to time) and i would stand underneath it and shout "shut up" and so on.  I then tried waving a cushion at it (as if to fan smoke away, even though there wasn't any) and more shouting.  Lynn always thought it was hillarious!

Newly purchased batteries inserted just now.   Nothing.  Dead.  Extinct as the famous parrot.  Either the handset is buglared or something has been pushed by mistake and it needs resetting with the make of TV code.

Being a techno-phobe I will have to think about this and whether I am up to the challenge  Cheesy

I was about to say exactly the same thing myself. Cheesy Grin

Hope you get it sorted soon, Anth.
