Doesn't ITV have an internet player? (I did a quick google of Kyle and it popped up as an ITV show)

...can't rip their faarrrkkkking heads off.
I was called out to a customers Tuesday as the computer was slow. Turns out the thing is faarrrkkkked. Motherboard or something, but clicked something, live out the rest of your life and it still isn't doen. If you want to run an Administrative tool, then bad luck.
So I organise a nice new shiney 6th Gen i7 with Windows 10. Then I get the software from the customer, all original.
2 untouched, unopened copies of Windows XP Professional.
1 Vista Ultimate with the license sticker still on it.
Office XP Profesional.
QuickBooks from 2008.
His other software for his business (tradesman) has been purchased and downloaded from links in emails. From what I can see it was last done in 2009.
So then it gets better. Looking at the HDD from the old computer he was using Office 2013, talking to him it is Office 365. He doesn't know his Microsoft Account or any passwords. It's all kept in Norton Vault.
Looking through the old HDD I find he has old installation files for Norton Identity Safe. So I login to his ISP Webmail, then reset his Norton Accoutnpassword and login. His Norton Identity Safe subscription is expired, I can renew or delete his backed up files.
It's too late to call him, I can't get any of his software installed and he wants this back and working tomorrow morning. It's currently 22:10 and there is no hope this will be sorted.
Will have to put the HDD back in the old shitbox and hope I can get something out of it.

Tell him to drop Norton Blackmail and get Keepass or something similar instead

It's a bit late for that now: he needs the content first!

Spot on. He didn't ask you to keep a copy for him by chance?

Just one of those things that come up in conversation in the MAXXX household
What do YOU call it? Crayon or coloured pencil - or something else?

We're posh and have both. Coloured pencils are just that, pencils with a coloured 'lead'. Crayons are the wax things that get trodden into the good carpets and can never be fully removed.

I agree.
Except I don't have any good carpets.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

That's my take, too (although we don't have carpets, living in a posh Queenslander with wooden floorboards, but Mrs. Maxxx called them crayons in her youth, not coloured pencils.

I wouldn't want to be the one to tell her she's wrong - good luck !

I would say something about being uncouth, but taking into account that you're too far south, that would be considered socially insensitive.

I seem to remember my mother calling them both something along the lines of [snip - Decency Police]. It took sometime for my youthful self to work out that that was the only name of crayons/pencils when used to create impromptu murals in the living room!

I've known coloured pencils to also be called 'pencil crayons' but never just 'crayons', which are the waxy things.
