Well, because your noun is plural, "do" is correct. But I have no idea what it's supposed to mean!

As already said, "do" is correct, though I also have no idea what that sentence means.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean by "For some reason my break is stuck"?

Have your packets arrived???

Hehe thankjs for your replies! Nice trhread! Hmm probably my phrase refers to cases you feel either that your brain was left home alone or in cases brain seems to not be working. What did you understand with my stupid phrase?

Ah, so you meant to write "brain", not "break"? That makes much more sense

It's funny how using the completely wrong word can impair communication, isn't it?

Maybe it's a reference to Packet switching - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia technology (where a message is broken up into 'packets' which are fed down whichever route is most efficient - when they arrive, the message is put together by the receiving node, and everything makes sense).

PS People have no contact with these 'packets', so if the expression 'Have your packets arrived?' refers to this technology, it's a jocular metaphor. It's by no means in common use, but I've heard it more than once, used between computer scientists to mean 'finally got the message' [that's a metaphorical message, of course. ;-)]

You are absolutely correct!! (absolutely used correctly?)
Thanks for all your replies. I had so much fun reading again my first post.
My brain was really stuck by that time (moment?) so using the verb break seem to me just the same).

;-) You're welcome, and your use of 'absolutely' is fine. I'm glad I guessed right - while I was writing my possible explanation I was beginning to think it was totally improbable. ;-)
