h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My mouse packed up about an hour ago, and being the resourceful type of chap that I am, I decided to have a bash at fixing it myself.

Encumbered by the fact that my tool kit is elsewhere, I pulled it apart and re-fixed it using just a screwdriver, bottle opener, pair-of beard-trimming scissors and some sticky tape.

Then I put it back together again. And it worked!

For about ten minutes. Then one of the resistors melted because my sticky-tape insulation apparently conducts electricity.

So I am now hootooing without a mouse. Which makes navigation VERY difficult.

how annoying god forbid you press tab one too many times.

i have a wierd relationship with mice. i have a nice optical mouse with blue lights, but for some reason i prefer to use the touch pad..even for graphic manipulation! all the more reason to appreciate my fab livejournal layout (though i think most would just appreciate the cowgirl boobs )

Ahem...

"What happens when you play with things too much"

Stop that, you'll go blind.






(I know you'd be disappointed if I wasn't the first to say that, B. )

*is upset that he wasn't the first to say that* Honest, its true, you'l go blind, truest me

Hoh Yus! its not only B who can lower the tone *turnes the tone down to an almost* inaudible low pitch

Gawd bless yer, Mr 2legs!

You mean a sensible chap like you doesn't keep a spare mouse?

My son would be most impressed! He is a devout follower of the Great God Sell O'Tape, which he firmly believes can fix absolutely anything from broken furniture to a dangling exhaust.

B sensible? I'm sure there's something wrong with that phrase....just can't quite put me finger on it.......

Mice? Blind? we know a song about that...

Stop that, or you'll go mouse.

Well at least it wasn't poor Bluey his subjected to that indignity!!

Nyssa: "god forbid you press tab one too many times."

Have you tried Shift+Tab, dear?

And I'm not sure I want to know about your relationship with mice. Is James aware?



I am now using a fully-functional optical mouse, the £2 old-fashioned-big-ball-in-the-bottom jobs that I used to favour apparently being /apparata non grata/ (look it up) at Currys now.

B

Hands up who else is pleased to know that you wont get a big ball in the bottom next time you visit Currys?

used to be the only reason I went

My sister works in Currys

Well, yes, she was the other reason I used to go there

Whereas B just eats curries.
