connection terminated


i think roxy must have noticed me playing an old Mission Impossible game on a N64 i borrowed from the guys upstairs and decided that the international espionage life was for her. let me explain....yesterday we finally got our broadband connection up and running (after a couple of hours of plugging and unplugging stuff and calling the technical helpline).

all was fine and rosy until we walked into the room this morning. Roxy had infiltrated the other side of the room that is normally cunningly sectioned off by a surfboard. Here she was confronted by her first challenge- which wire to cut? is it the black wire or the white one? we can only guess that after minutes of nervous sweating she decided that it was best to err on the side of caution and chew through them both- the broadband wire and the phone cable. so ended our utopian internet connection. Fortunately those saturday afternoons as a child watching McGiver paid off and we were able to cobble together another connection.

we are certainly going to have to watch this one closely.

It sounds like you are going to have your hands full with that puppy.
Happy training!

Maybe you should have just gone for the blog!

I'm impressed you managed to connect the wire together....more than a History geek!
