I've been tempted to kick my computer from time to time. Totally understandable.

Ach yer lukin at a faceful o'heid! Scrivens!

Er.. yeah.. I get that way at my computer sometimes too. Except a 'Glasgow kiss' is a wee bit more painful than a kickin' on the giver...

On pins and needles with baited breath . . .

("Baited breath" is a fun expression. I know its origin, but I prefer to imagine that it implies the breather has consumed minnows and earthworms previously and neglected to brush.)

So it's the Scot in me that leads me to abuse my computer? Interesting...

I always figured it was the Irish.
