35 Warming cold feet on
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Troubleshooting the female computer. Largely a question of putting the power cable back in after an irritably swinging Internet-auction-frustration leg works it loose. In extreme cases, a matter of pressing the power saving switch that the man instinctively flicked off earlier in passing.
