Re: Have you tried turning it off & on again?


 

To lighten the tone, not sure if I've told you this before.
My father was programming the video recorder & he got down on his knees in front of it to do this.
You've got to bear in mind he was born in 1928 & crystal radio sets were state of the art.
He programmed it up, with channel, date, time etc.
Then it turned off! & he said?
"Well what happened there?"
Meanwhile, I'd got the remote control in my hands & my mother beside me vigorously shaking her head & mouthing NO!
Then he programmed it up a second time & it turned off again! He said:
"Well, that was strange!"
It was bloody tough because I was in contortions with laughter, but had to stay silent.
Then he programmed it up a third time!
Of course it turned off again, but this time he slowly turned his head around to see me with the remote control & he said:
"Ouh, I might have guessed!"
Obviously, I then programmed it up for him. Mum & I had had our fun!
