LATEST NEWS FROM NETHERTON.
This is the news From N.B.C
Good evening …News Just in.
Ah the plink, plink, fizz of a video recorder!
Good evening, there are reports tonight that Mr H. has hit
the roof although what the roof had done wrong to deserve
being hit has not been ascertained yet!.
On his return home from work, a Mrs S pointed out that the
video was acting strangely. Well for a video to even act at
all was something of a stunner for Mr H but on inspection
it was found to have a video inserted back to front and upside
down.
A Mr J. was stood smiling in one corner of the room.
The tape was carefully removed. However the video still fast
forwarded, stopped and played and stopped and rewound and
generally failed to work properly.
It was said to be "shagged".
As the video was a mere six months old and still under warranty,
Mr N. took the recorder back and is said to have told a little
white lie about the video working one minute and not the next.
He was told they would not swap the machine, they would send
someone to repair it.
The repair man duly arrived and Mr N. made him a coffee.
He promptly looked at the machine and how it was acting.
In a statement the repairman said, “that’s bloody strange”.
Then he took out his screwdrivers, etc from his toolbox .He
removed the back of the video.
By this time Mr N. was stood at the back of the said repairman
cringeing in anticipation.
Mr N. noticed the repair mans shoulders going in an up and
down motion, and then he heard giggling. “ You have children
don’t you” he exclaimed.
Mr N. suddenly felt guilty but still said, “ is there
a problem”.
It was at this time the repair man pointed out that it was
not videotape that caused the video to have a breakdown.
IT WAS THE 10p COIN THAT MR J HAD INSERTED
FIRST, THAT HAD LANDED SMACK IN THE MIDDLE OF COMPUTER CENTRAL
AND WELDED ITSELF ONTO THE CONTROL CHIP!
Mr N. is said to be waiting for the bill, with due exertion
and dread.
That was the news. Goodnight.
