He just hasn't brought me one of those hideous singing bulldogs yet.

Thankfully John, No....he is so technophobic it is untrue........anything that connects to the electricity supply, other than a halogen heater,a fridge(or stuff of that ilk) has to be dealt with by yours truly.
He has a dislike of instructions...never ever follows them(and wonders why things don't work for him).
If I hear the loud impassioned call.....Maaaaargaret, I know he has loused up the TV settings.........and he is sat there muttering under his breath 'it shouldn't happen'....to which I am inclined to reply 'what do you mean, mental inadequates being given the full charge of a remote control?'
He thinks the TV should just have on/off buttons and something to change channel........I have suggested that he returns to the seventies where there were only a few TV channels.......that he gets rid of Sky TV and this will save us a wad of money each month....and that if he can't stomach any of these things then he should either learn to operate the technology, or shut up.
God help him if I pop my clogs first.

There's an ad that is doing the rounds again, used to get my goat the first time they used, the one where the kid is running all over the house jumping on chairs and the settee screaming at the top of is voice, then his dad finds his glasses smashed, its not specsavers its another firm, but it really gets me going, the little brat
