The thing is, I have other things to do at the same time. I know, I know, I ought to be able to multitask, but somehow I never seem to have got the hang of it. I just do everything fifty times slower when I try to do two things at once. I keep getting distracted and losing count. Please forgive me. I know you're more than ready for bed after two disturbed nights in a row (The Smudgelet's got a nasty cough which gets worse at night time) and I know you're sitting here waiting for me to be done, but I'm afraid the sixty-minute download of Thursday night's Ashes to Ashes which you missed because you were visiting your sister is simply going to have to take three hours and when it says "one hour fifteen minutes left", you have to understand that I may lose count and the next step on the countdown may say "two hours twenty minutes left". Counting brings its own challenges when you are computationally challenged as I am. Please be patient with me, and don't try to shut me down because I'll only sneakily turn back on again while I finish what I'm doing.
If only computers could talk.
