I actually meant "faulty" to "fawlty" but you could change the rest too. Strangely enough I see that between my viewing the thread and pressing reply (which picked up your ID again at the top of "you are replying to"), you have changed your nickname!

That too I'm sure!
Off to the dentists now. I had to walk all the way home and back just to get my toothbrush!!! Not comfortable things to carry in your pockets I'll tell you. They get covered in fluff there too. Got some funny look in Law when I took it out of my pocket and put it on the desk.
See y'alls later.

Err, yes but being the most honourable man in the office is a comparative standard, it only means something if the rest are fairly honourable too. I mean, comapred to the Marquis de Sade, I'm pretty angelic...

I think i can safely say i can live without a tribble, thanks all the same...(said a passing man who knows that his sister in law has a bustbin sack full of the damn things in her loft. Don't ask.)
I've only just fouind this, entriely by accident. I won something... Raises my life average to a straight C... Next up, the lottery and and buying a small island in the Bahamas.

"Bear in mind he sits next to Sam!"
"Who, the Marquis de Sade?"
"No... Sam sits next to Ashley."
A moot point, certainly.

Err, it was who the 'he' was in "Bear in mind he sits next to Sam!" that confused me, along with where the statement came from in the first place!

I think perhaps the tribble might sit between Sam and Ashley.

Does that make the tribble a bear in mind or the reincarnation of the Marquis de Sade? You'd better keep a watchful eye on it, Lifson, until you determine which.

Whoa! Scary!!!
I was sitting in the last 15 min of my IT class yesterday when I read that I'd got the Tribble (having just got back from the dentist!). I just looked around and said "Neat! I've won a Tribble!" which managed to spark off a massive Star Trek debate and trashed the last 15 min of the lesson!!! It's causing havoc before it's even got here!!!!

No no i meant to put Ashley but I ended up putting Sam because I was thinking so hard about how honourable he is.

Ping! Suddenly it all makes sense. All, not it *all* obviously, deeper mystries and all that, but this particular confusion is clear now.
