Title: Technical Problems

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Ianto, Jack, Owen.

Rating: G

Written For: Challenge 346: Fold at tw100

Spoilers: Nada.

Summary: The SatNav proves less than helpful.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.

A/N: For my wonderful friends iantojjackh & timelordshines who had some SatNav problems of their own last week.

Much to Owen’s displeasure, he’d been sent with Ianto out into the countryside to retrieve a mysterious object that had appeared in a farmer’s hayfield during the night.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, halfway there the SatNav had gone wonky and after they’d been directed in circles for twenty minutes they’d been forced to resort to more primitive methods of finding their way.

When they finally returned, Jack was surprised when only Ianto emerged from the garage.

“Where’s Owen? Did you leave him behind?”

“No, he’s still in the SUV, trying to fold the map up again,” Ianto smirked.

The End

LOL

Primitive indeed! I'm sure Owen was very vocal with his displeasure too. *snickers*

[bk_forever]

They're enough to drive anyone nuts! Ianto was right to leave the job to Owen!

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

Owen's always vocal with his displeasure *grins* He's going to succeed at folding the map though - Ianto bet him a tenner that he couldn't do it!

Thank you!

He he, poor Owen. Those darn maps never fold back up the way they started out.

[jo02]

I bet Owen didn't even know they HAD paper maps in the SUV.

[bk_forever]

I think it's a conspiracy so people have to keep buying new ones!

Thank you!

[bk_forever]

He learns something new every day! Now if he can just figure out how to fold it up...

Thank you!

LOL I can see that map ending up in little pieces if Owen looses his cool with folding it.

great drabble

[bk_forever]

He'll be tempted, but he can't admit defeat, because then Ianto would win!

Thank you!

LOL yes that bloody Sat Nav became quite the menace at times. But we had more patience than owen,

[bk_forever]

ROFL! You overcame all problems in the end. Owen is about ready to tear his hair out though!

Thank you *hugs* Did you have a good trip home?

[iantojjackh.livejournal.com]

The flight was a little more bumpy than in used to and now I'm battling a bit of a cold and the end of jet lag.

[bk_forever]

I have LJ back! Yay! I can reply to comments!

*hugs* Hope you can shake the cold and jet lag quickly. The weather here has turned chilly and wet, hope it's better than this where you are!

Lol, never trust a satnav!

I'm so sorry we were late meeting you.

I blame iantojjackh for somehow jinxing the satnav. We had problems with it all the way from Barnstaple to Edinburgh and it was still playing up when we went to Glasgow. When I dropped her at Edinburgh airport I worried about how I was going to find my way back to the hotel without her to mapread, but the satnav worked perfectly. And it got me to my brother's house just fine and all the way home the next day with no problems!

[bk_forever]

Satnavs have minds of their own, I'm sure! At least you made it in the end, that's what mattered!

primitive method ????!
At least one card, it does not crash !!!! and remains valid long.
I always have one in my area in my car.

[bk_forever]

So do I, but my sister relies completely on her SatNav! I see Owen as being like her, totally dependent on the technology.

Thank you!

Arrgh, those maps are a pain! ;)

[bk_forever]

So Owen is discovering ;)

Ianto could field it up easily of course....
