No, but he is e-mailing me telling me I have double standards because I made a joke in the FrobozzCo thread about cigars rolled on the thighs of a virgin.

If I was talking about 6 year old virgins, he might have a point.

Congratulations to everybody who has reached personal posting landmarks in the 4 days since I was last here. I bow to you all.

To mark my 1905th post, allow me to share a historical fact about the year 1905:

The Russian Revolution of 1905 began on “Bloody Sunday” when troops fired onto a defenseless group of demonstrators in St. Petersburg. Strikes and riots followed. This event would eventually lead to the rise of communism in Russia.

FOR THE MARRIED OTers

Dear Tech Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in the overall performance, particularly in the Flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as: Football 5.0, Rugby 4.3 and Cricket 3.0.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs; it simply crashes the system.
I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Dear Desperate:

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package,
while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.

Try entering the command:
C:/I-THOUGHT-YOU-LOVED-ME
to download Tears 6.2, which should automatically install Guilt 3.0.

If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1.

WARNING: Beer 6.1 is a very nasty program that will create Snoring Loudly.

CAUTION: Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law. This is not a supported application and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I
personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck, Tech Support.

Dear Technical Support,

18 months ago, I upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from DrinkingMates 4.2, which I had used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off.

To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is incompatible with several other applications, such as LadsNightOut 3.1, Football 4.5, and Playboy 6.9. Successive versions of GirlFriend proved no better.

I tried a shareware program, Slapper 2.1, but it had many bugs and left a virus in my system, forcing me to shut down completely for several weeks.

Eventually, I tried to run GirlFriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to my hardware.

I eventually upgraded to Fiancée 1.0, only to discover that this product soon had to be upgraded further to Wife 1.0.
While Wife 1.0 tends to use up all my available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSexPlus and Cleanhouse2005.

Shortly after this upgrade, however, I found that Wife 1.0 could be very unstable and costly to run. Any mistakes I made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted.
They then resurfaced months later when I had forgotten about them.
Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary, Explorer and E-mail filter, and can, without warning, launch TurboStrop and Multi-Whinge. These latter products have no Help files, and I have to try to guess what the problem is.

Additional problems are that Wife 1.0 needs updating regularly, requiring ShoeShop Browser for new attachments and Hairstyle Express which needs to be reinstalled every other week. Also, when Wife 1.0 attaches itself to my Saab 93 Convertible hard drive, it often crashes.

Wife 1.0 also comes with an irritating pop-up called MotherInLaw, which can't be turned off.
Recently I've been tempted to install Mistress 2005, but there could be problems.

A friend of mine has alerted me to the fact that if Wife 1.0 detects Mistress 2005, it tends to delete all of the Money section before uninstalling itself...

Well yeah, same here - I was exaggerating, but it's still a shit state of affairs. And if you did go to ER (or A&E as we call it), you'll be waiting for 5 hours while blood pours from you head.

Psychologists on the other hand tend to be private (i.e not on the NHS) so you can get an appointment quickly beacsue you are paying through the nose for it. I'm sure the NHS has psychologists too though, and I'm sure you have to waits months or years to see them.

Having said all that, I love free healthcare (see how I got it back on-topic there?)

Computer Problem
Time
Update:

So I went home last night and got to work on the computer. I tried various combinations of unplugging a piece of hardware then trying to turn the computer on, etc, but no joy. I tried a similar approach with the main cable from the power supply to the motherboard, pulling it out, plugging it back in, trying to turn the computer on, no luck, try again, etc. Finally, the LED stopped blinking and the computer turned on and booted up and now seems to be working fine. So, in short, the computer is working, but I have a feeling there's something fundamentally wrong that will probably rear it's ugly head again soon. The most likely culprit is a broken/gay power supply.

Anyway, thanks again for the help.
