Hi Peta!!
Thanks, I think we need it!
It's only when you start peddling the bike yourself that you realise it's uphill through treacle. The back of the tandem is always the easier ride.
Hmm, I think I need more sleep and less tea.
Best go put the kettle on...

I'm not really here Posted Oct 17, 2011
Blimey, that's harsh.. Although that might have happened while I was still with the Beeb, moved to SSO.
It's so hard to remember.

Yup, but my shiney new italic account doesn't give me access to anyones e mail address.
The people manning [email protected] and [email protected] do get to see e mail addresses though.
But we couldn't really work out a way around that, and I / we have been careful with who I / give it to, and there's not very many of them. I've known them all personally for between 5 and 10 years, and I know where they all live and will hunt them down with a large stick if they abuse any information.*

Oh and there's only a small number of them. Which is why I haven't done very much work today.

I understand that if one is slanty enough, long enough, pokey-sticks can reach through all sorts of trans-warp-conduits ...

Z Posted Oct 17, 2011
Yeah. I can warp the space time continuum with my magical italic power and come and attack people on the other side of the world.

Yeah, but a kea vs duct tape and bluetak... you know we eat windscreen wipers for breakfast. And sheep's kidneys for lunch (from live 
).
Of course, I'm one of the more mannered kea
