The problem with technology these days is that you can't just hit it to make it work again.
My first television - give it a thump and the picture settled down.
My first car - pop the bonnet and rap random bits of metal with a spanner (or hold a hairdryer over a certain part for a few minutes). Voila: it started.
If you like, Martin, I could pop round and give you a slap. See if that does the trick.
Put another shilling in the meter!

My first TV - wave the indoor aerial around lots, before ending up with it back where it started...
DeleteMy first car - spray some godawful chemical into the carburettor until life was restored.
This blog - I need to rediscover its (and my) purpose. Yes, a slap, basically.
