[...] Today, inspired by a little red boat - http://littleredboat.co.uk/?p=2282#comments - I decided to give my laptop a name. My laptop and I are very close and many mornings I wake up in the spare bedroom with my arm slung over my husband-cuckolding ‘puter. I gaze fondly into his unblinking screen and am sure he loves me back. He is definitely a male, by the way. I know this, by his inability to keep the kitchen tidy and unwillingness to ask for directions when we go out for Sunday drives and get lost. [...]

I’ll call Derek Acorah immediately and get that Marvin exhorcised!

Sami, you legend. I approve. *applauds*
I have reached the conclusion that my laptop is a gender-neutral inanimate object. Sigh. Trust me to get a dud…

I woke up the other day in the spare room bed but with an arm slung over my husband-cuckolding laptop. He doesn’t mind my morning breath and pillow drool. I haven’t named him, although he’s definitely a him. I can tell by the way he won’t do the hoovering which he considers woman’s work. And he won’t help with the children. But I love him yet.

Before you do anything rash, think of the times you and Marvin have shared. The highs, the lows. Perhaps create a mental montage with a “Wind Beneath My Wings” soundtrack. The hard-drive is not always sweeter on the other side of the fence.

oh and I misread the comment, in many ways. Serve me right for commenting on blogs at quarter to one in the morning. They should also have an apostrophe when striking cos they possess the strike.

As a grammar freak can’t resist commenting on that, also as I love telling philosophers they’re right, being one myself.

yes, philosophers have an apostrophe, not cos they’re striking but because they have a union cos it’s a possessive. And after the s also right because they’re a plural and if it was before the s they would be one philosopher and his own union - which is an - bugger I can’t remember the word. Letting the side down as a Philosophy & English joint honours graduate. An… an oxymoron. Hah.

I meant first two sentences. And while I’m on the subject, do philosophers have an apostrophe when they’re striking? I am troubled by this question, as I’d hate to have to kill myself for misusing an apostrophe.

Seeing the first sentence of the first comment, I couldn’t help but be reminded of the exchange between Deep Thought and the philosophers’ union reps -

PUR “If you’re not very careful, you’ll have a national philosophers strike on your hands”

DT “Whom will that inconvenience?”

PS - Marvin still lives while the heart-disk still spins

Today i’m not feeling particularly attached to my ‘puter. It keeps inadvertantly “forgetting” important things… such as USB drivers. I shouted at him today.
He makes me very angry. And don’t even get me started on his cousin once removed (via USB hub) - Epson (A3 printer).

All things technological are male. I needn’t have to explain why.
