Dear Daedra...

Ok, folks, I need your advice. Luckily this isn't the boring kind of advice that falls into the 'cup of tea and a chat' category. You will not require your serious thinking hat. You will not require kleenex (unless you happen to REALLY like hurting inanimate objects). What you will require, however, is a wicked imagination, a hatred of machines that don't work properly and a soul full of untapped rage. If you have none of the above please stop reading now.

Still with me? Thought so. Ok, here's the deal: after months of suffering at the non-existant hands of my utterly inept router I decided to bite the bullet and get a newer, better one. This new thing looks spookily similar in style to Eeeevaaa from 'WALL-E' and puts the old one to shame, practically glowing with monochrome efficiency while the old one looks on from its dust-covered lair of jealousy under the stairs.

Now, I'd consider myself a fair person. I happily accept people's flaws and often forgive to the point of stupidity, but in this case old router (or 'merde') has pushed his luck twenty too many times and is definitely in need of a damned good punishing.

So I need you, citizens of the interwebs, to decide just how I destroy this greedy electricity gobbling waste of space once and for all. I was originally thinking of an 'Office Spaced'-esque hands-on disembowling but feel free to let your imaginations run free. Post your suggestions to me on Twitter, facebook or myspace and the winner will see their brutal will be carried out and the resulting video posted on my youtube channel for all to see.

Can't wait to hear what you come up with, you sick, sick puppies.

Milly x
