Precautionary disconnection
« on: March 14, 2008, 09:46:30 AM »
To curtail The Boy's illicit nbocturnal internet related activities Mrs Nick completely disconnected my computer last night and hid the box and cables at different locations around the house. eeek: She forgot where she had put some items Banghead

It has taken me TWO HOURS to find everything and get the bastard reconnected! cussing: cussing:

It may come to that yet. Trouble is, tbh, that the house is nearly 300 years old and the doors are original. Mrs Nick would not welcome me drilling holes in them and suchlike
