From my old and trusty (and that’s very old btw) Concise Oxford Dictionary 5th ed. (told you it was very old!):
Perplex Bewilder, puzzle, (person, his mind); complicate, confuse, (matter): entangle, intertwine
Hmm. Sounds a bit like my virtually permanent state of being.
So here we are then, my first contributions for this month. And be warned… I may well add one or two more!
Instruction Manuals, User Guides, why the hell do there have to be so many of the damn things? Wouldn’t it be far simpler just to have a sort of “Universal User Guide”, something along the following lines…
1. Switch on
2. Do the business
3. Switch off
How am I supposed to remember all these damn instructions, “tips” and whatnot… what with me an’ my crap memory an’ all? No wonder I can never remember which button does what with my head crammed full of different sets of instructions.
I’d really like to know why it is, when I’m thinking I’ve plugged my computer in, that some entirely unrelated bit of electronic gadgetry seems to start up of its own accord?
I’m confused!
Just as well I keep the computer kit and stuff out of the kitchen, else I’d find myself switching the kettle on for a cuppa every time I’m thinking of sending an email.
Hmm, now I come to think of it I suspect I do that anyway.
