Absolutely.

The stage tech in my last job suggested that attitude was why I'm a Cabinet Maker and he's a technician.

Have filled up on Admiral's pie and am now watching the footy.

So far, it is not going well...

Our internet connection just went off for 20 minutes or so.

Finally solved it with a combination of bad language and waggling the coaxial cable.

I hope you were using German bad language so that the cable knew how upset with it you were.

Just wish I could remenber more of it from when I took it as a CSE subject at school (passed with a grade 1 = grade 'C' at O level)

No, not the pie, the football... Well, the first half, anyways.

If it's any consolation, so did I. I also failed it as AS level...

Shouldn't have eaten so much straight before football: that was never going to end well.

Our internet connection is down, I'll be talking to the provider in the morning, it was down when we got back from the club, tapping this out on the phone using mobile data.

Oh dear... mumble, mumble, mumble...

I got an A for my German GCSE...
