I can almost always work things out on a computer given a bit of time but it does seem to be a daily slog.

No thanks, by the time he leaves my home my head is ringing with him. He never shuts up, his phone seldom stops ringing and he's aye getting texts. Also he almost eats his way through my fridge. He's great with computers though.

Top of my list at the moment would be a 2.5lb club hammer followed by a bucket and a bag of quick setting concrete.

Much more effective than any of the so called 'Help' pages.
My solution is to put a face on like a slapped kipper, curse, threaten to throw my laptop out of the window, and then wait for HWMO to stop what he is doing and come to my rescue. (works every time)

A job in IT will be ideal for him.
