#0106. THE RUNNING COMMENTARY YOUR MUM GIVES YOU WHEN SHE'S SAT AT HER COMPUTER AND YOU'RE ON THE OTHER END OF THE PHONE, TRYING TO HELP HER.

MUM: "So, I'm just going to open Word… Word, Word, Word… Where is Word… No, it's all right, got it. Opening it up… now. OK then… Oh, Talking Paperclip. Shall I shut the Talking Paperclip? I'll shut the Talking Paperclip… Shutting that… now… Right. File… Open… Oh. It's gone off. Why has it gone off? It's just gone off… Nope, wait. It was just loading…"

ME: "Tell you what, shall I just look at it next time I'm round?"
