I was embarrassed today, in fact.

I was showing a DVD and it stopped working about five minutes before the end, and I couldn't get it working again.

That has happened to me many times Eric. Students reciting grammar rules to the whole class when they find you fumbling over something they happen to have learnt so well somewhere else.
During my first years in teaching, I was so embarrassed when students corrected my mistakes but I have learnt that teaching is also a learning process.

II was showing a DVD and it stopped working about five minutes before the end, and I couldn't get it working again.

I was once using video and couldn't get the machine to work. The TV was on, but just showing static. Tried everything - took off the lead connecting to the TV and tried it in different positions, tried every channel, gave up with the remote control and opened the control panel, went and got a different cassette to see if that was the problem. Nothing - just fuzz on the TV screen. In the end after about 15 mins, gave up and pushed the TV/video trolley aside. The video plug trailed after it. I'd forgotten to plug it in.

Christ Susan!
That was one of those crazy days I guess.
