Hey, Anne, I was just thinking about our many American idioms and wonder if you Aussies have the same endless supply. My idea goes along the lines of something completely off the wall like:

"Another day, another fried electronic. My broken computer is not the sharpest crayon in the knife drawer short of a six-pack."

Not the exact words, of course, just the concept.

Or, a nursery song,

"Twinkle, twinkle, broken box,
How I wonder what's on FOX.
Now my PC's crapped out too
If there's help, it comes from you."

Again, not the words, just the idea.
