Jumping To Conclusions BBC Style:
yesterday I was trying to install video editing software from a disc on my computer. There was a number I had to type into their site to get my serial number for initiation of the programme. A long series of capital letters and numbers. Not difficult, but it didn’t work. No matter how often I deleted it and retyped it I got the same message ‘Wrong this number is already in use’. I concluded that someone had my software, and was using it. Was it the postman? No, it was delivered by UPS. Was it them? Unlikely more likely Joyce Meyer, Joseph Prince, Joel Osteen of tbnuk .org to prevent me telling people what is really written in the Bible, because the truth would surely affect their incomes. Then I thought it might be my nurses. Have they decided to make their own Christmas song complete with a dance video I wondered? Or was it the chancellor of the exchequer saving on ? I concluded it might be a foreign government or even a national football team afraid for the future of gays and lesbians. (Be afraid. Very afraid) Ed asks. “I’m assuming you managed to install the software Gordon so what was the problem?” The problem, was me. After three wasted hours I decided that the capital O was in fact a zero 0. That single little number almost started world war three. I was going to nuke Nicola Sturgeon and Co. at one point for conspiring to bring down YouTube.
