Laurel and Hardy!

It really was like a comedy duo when these two blokes turned up earlier, to sort out my everlasting problem with the internet connection.

They insisted on taking the computer to their workshop for the day just to make sure all was in working order. Such a waste of time because it has been checked so many times this past year that I'm sure it's dizzy. No-one will listen to a mere woman though!

Anyway, it came back home around four o'clock, complete with it's escorts and lots of wires etc. Nothing wrong with it.........I held my tongue and didn't say 'I told you so', even though I thought it.

They decided to tackle the router to see if that was the cause. Lots of head scratching, wires here and there. The pair argued like fury too which would have been well funny had I not been so anxious. To be honest, things started to look quite good at around half past five and I felt quite hopeful. However, five minutes later it went belly up. Time for me to disappear down to the bar as my comments didn't seem to be helping!

It took them four hours to get it sorted and I'm left with wires all over the floor and my furniture scattered around the room but I do seem to be online, however long it lasts. Hopefully, they will be back tomorrow to sort out the mess and I'll reserve my comments until later.
