This has been foreign office policy for nearly 400 years. Keep the beggars confused, always speak English and talk louder when they refuse to understand.
Change the goalposts regularly, suck up to everyone and talk about them when they leave the room.
This is what made the British Empire what it was. We only lost the Empire because we brought them civilisation and then taught the blighters to read and write. There's gratitude for you...... 
Nancy, as an ex colonial, will be unaware of this state of affairs, 'cause it is a major part of the policy to not tell anyone of our master plans for domination.
The plans however are moving along nicely, and we have pretty much managed to lull everyone into a false sense of security. Phase two, will soon be started, and when that happens, just you watch how startled everyone will be. Then we'll show 'em....

Any ideas how to get into a laptop, seriously we have undone all the screws and it is open except for the bit where the plug socket thingies (techi term) are at the back. I do not like to just pull it in case I do more damage. |
They can be a pain and are very brand specific. What make is your laptop?

There is a rather nice story going the rounds, that may offend some but what the heck...
A British Airways Jet, Speedbird 737, is at Frankfurt airport and has just backed away from the terminal to go for takeoff. Leaving the terminal area the pilot comes to a 'T' junction and stops the plane to look at the airport map for directions.
After being parked for a couple of minutes a rather officious controller with a distinct German accent comes on the Radio;
Frankfurt Control: "Speedbird 737, are you having difficulties"?
Speedbird: (in best RAF accent) "Just checking for directions, old chap"
Frankfurt control: (irritated) "It is quite simple, dirrections are CLEARLY MARKED, have you not been here before"?
Speedbird: "Well, yes actually, twice in 1944, but I didn't stop...."

There will likely be a small screw got at from underneath the laptop. This will be in what you would think of as the 'middle' of the keyboard, once that is out it is a case of prising the little plastic lugs around the edge of the keboard to 'pop' it out.
