The title of this blog comes from a Gaelic expression -"putting on the poor mouth"-which means to exaggerate the direness of one's situation in order to gain time or favour from creditors.
You been eating crackers near the keyboard? A crumb of some sort under the space bar in just the wrong place may be the reason, and easily fixed for nothing (sometimes), in my experience, with a bit of judicious (ie totally random) shaking at all angles, hoovering, brushing about with some bristles that can reach underneath, blowing and turning round three times while chanting abracadabrakamalazoo (or a braver person might dislodge the bar, thoroughly clean and then replace, but I am not sure if all bars snap off easily and replaceably). Worth a try. Worked for me once.
