I recall a specific incident of finding a computer surrounded by a neat ring of crystals blu-tacked to the desk. Supposedly this was because the computer concerned was 'Evil'. So we swapped out the unit, cleaned off the coffee stains, tested and checked it, only to find the problem was "User Error".
It was a Social Services office in Rugby, Warwickshire.
I haven't the foggiest idea who "Oswald Pearson" is .. but he needs pulling-through with a large christmas tree, wrapped in rusty razor wire .. for having the most stupid voice I've ever heard ..
I generally phone me mate John who understands about computers and stuff. I know that he is on to something when he gets out the hair shirt and the iron tipped flail.
M K-J. That would be typical of civil servants. I've worked with some right numpties in the MOD as well. They would believe anything if you kept a straight face.
Seeing this video has changed my life! I now know, KNOW I tell you! That I need a pendulum to fix my computer problem. I need a very, very large pendulim though... And I'm going to smash it over the head of the next person who interrupts me while I am trying to get some design and installation work done. :)
