Playing chess
and reading the small print.
When, yonks ago, I was learning to play chess, our old Chemi master used to say "Watch the whole of the board, the whole of the time.".
She who must be obeyed suffers from a bad back, courtesy of hauling patients (Sorry "clients") around.
An "old body" by any other name is just as heavy.
We were down country wandering around "MAKRO" when we spotted a heat/massager thingy, which seemed like a good idea.
Turns out it was, does a marvellous job.
I saw the little label which instructed me to remove both securing screws before use to avoid damage.
I wasn't watching the whole of the board ... I scoured the house and the shed
Aaaargh!
and finally found no less than 3 sets of alan (Sp?) keys.
Tried a few from the appropriate sizes of both sets, removed screw #1, moved my attention to #2 and "Viola" there it was, in a wee packet, attached to the screw I went to remove second.
The old lad was right "Watch the WHOLE of the board".
