Every couple of months he comes round asking me to help him login to his BT account to check his bill. The same neighbour was on holiday about 6 months ago and a BT Homehub arrived at ours. I knew the day he got back there would be a request to setup his broadband (thankfully it was straight forward and "just worked").<br /><br /> My issue here isn't the old neighbour, it's the son who gave all this tech to his elderly parents without showing them how to actually use it properly.</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41072.3&return_msg=41072.3" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41072.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41072_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_41072_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: 99% of gargoyles look like (MR_BASTARD)<span class="message_time">29 May 2014 09:06</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: cynicoid <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 30 May 2014 16:54"></span></span> <span class="message_count">4 of 48</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41072.4">41072.4</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41072.1">41072.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Your problem lies in the opening text.<br /><br /> This:<br /> N: Have u gt ne puter prts lying around ?<br /> M: Like what ?<br /><br /> Should be this:<br /> N: Have u gt ne puter prts lying around ?<br /> M: I'm terribly sorry, but I don't understand buffoon.
