Some days I wish I was grown in a test tube.

Spent the last hour pissing around with dying laptops and TalkTalk disks trying to get my mother (okay, and me) temporary internet access until her shiny new computer arrives next week. Worth the effort, as it turns out, and I shall type very quickly before the damn thing bluescreens me again. Some things just have to be shared

That was very amusing (though less so for the emu, I suppose, if it ends up as dinner). Thanks for sharing and I hope the new computer turns up soon.

'I watched Rod Hull as a child, does that help?'
'Not really. I wasn't planning on sticking my hand up it's arse.'

That has just made my day, it made me laugh so much. Genuinely LOL!

Apparently there is an emu farm in Leicestershire. THat's north of Coventry. ::being helpful::

What a hilarious story and I love that it was all taking place on the telephone. The splash and hang up were hilarious, and then the explanation made it funnier still. Thanks for making me laugh.

Hee-- that is a little surreal!

Though there are a couple emu ranches in the area around my parent's old house in eastern Oregon. I used to see them when i was out riding my bike; very odd animals!

Funniest story I've heard in ages. Thank you for the laugh.

Good luck with your connectivity.
