    I banged my head where you said and now there's a crack on the television thing. What should I do? I'm also bleeding quite badly, so I hit 999 on the keyboard, but the ambulance hasn't shown up yet - any idea why?



    All the best!

    Tech Support: Hello how may i help you?
    Customer: I was on my computer typing and then the screen went blank
    Tech Support: OK can you check to see if the monitor is plugged in correctly at the back of the computer
    Customer: I am looking now, i cant really see, there is only a bit of light coming from the window, the lights went out with the power cut.
    Tech Support: OK i know the problem, you will have to put the computer back in the box and bring it back to the shop where you bought it.
    Customer: is it really that bad?
    Tech Support: yes, just do that and tell them that you are too stupid to own a computer.
