Ready or not here we go

We've been loaded onto the plane at Birmingham. We're waiting to depart for Dusseldorf. But the plane isn't moving. Suddenly the pilot comes on the tannoy "our apologies, there seems to be a problem with the planes computers. It might go dark for a moment because we are going to turn the plane off and then restart it, just as you do with your computer at home if it isn't working".

Hmm. Is it just me or does anyone else think this isn't the most reassuring start to a flight!
