Best excuse from Tony Spry:
I am sorry for being away for so long, but I was involved one day with wiring a garden pond pump and on completing the job I slipped and fell into the pond.
As I fell in, most of the fish jumped out or died of fright and I had to spend a long time going around pet shops that day looking for similar fish to those that had died, as I didn't want the owner, (who was away on holiday), finding out about it. Because most of the water splashed out of the pond when I fell in, I had to get some more. The only tap was about a hundred yards away and as I could only find a small bucket, it took a lot of trips back and forth to fill the pond.
Carrying all this water aggravated a back injury obtained many years ago installing some night storage heaters. Within a couple of days I was in bed in great pain and cursing the day I ever got involved installing that !!@*&)## pond pump.
Anyway, to keep myself amused I tried to get my wife to hook up my laptop computer in the bedroom, (mainly so I could look for the next email from Voltimum of course). Well, some women have it, some women don't, and I'm afraid my wife is one of those that hasn't. (Got any electrical know how that is). She can't hook up any thing electrical at all, so I had to struggle out of bed and try to connect it myself.
Well, no sooner had I got out, I trod on the laptop mains plug with my bare foot, this made me jump about a lot screaming and shouting all sorts of obscenities, I fell onto the bed and heard a sort of soft crunching sound. My laptop!!! I thought this was the end. I was near to tears when I remembered my Coverplan Service agreement. I got the wife to search for it and after many hours it was found, it had run out!!!
It also seemed she had been too busy to send the renewal cheque away, and had forgotten all about it.
More tears from my wife as by now she was nursing a black eye and was limping somewhat, can't imagine why. Well, after a few days recuperating I managed to get to the bank's hole in the wall to take out some funds for a new Laptop. It's now up and running and I'm surfing the net again.
And my wife? She's now living with the bloke who owned the pond and those bloody fish!
