When things just fall in to place?
I was online the other night and SWMBO was cleaning up the kitchen (please don't read into this, it was just circumstantial :-) )
Anyhoo, that 28 Days film with Sandra Bullock was just starting on the telly (an old telly on the other side of the living room, that has push buttons for the channels)
I expressed my displeasure at this screening, to which SWMBO replied that I'd have to change the channel myself as she wouldn't do it... So I said I'd throw something at it to do it, when swivelling my chair around from the 'puter...
She said no chance, I said if I miss at least it'll go through the screen... Unfortunately all I had on hand was a red pencil, which I sent the 4 metres across the room to neatly strike a different button!
Big deal if it ended up being the Greek news on a pubic access channel... {Just like my reason for hating highschool}~ It was the principal of the thing!!

:-) :-) :-)

LOL I'd say they should recruit you for the national cricket team... but given the thumping you've just given the Poms...

If I would have been throwing the pencil it would have gone through a ventilation slot and hit the probe capaciter, short circuiting the canon, thus blowing up the TV set with a magnificent poof!!!

I'd have thought that with you being Aussie, that you'd have a boomerang handy. At least if you missed, you'd have more than one throw.
