Well I can beat the lot of you.

the other night OH and I decided we would watch a video (nowt on telly etc etc)

We both sat, crossed legged in front of the machine, pressing various remotes and wondering why the video didnt shoot out the little tray thingy to accept the video!!

I said, it must be stuck - so pushed my finger into the appropriate apperture, only to find it was a flap!!! Errr dumbo!

How quickly technology overtakes us)))
