"What's the point?" asked Raymond. "You'll end up destroying imagination, and with it the universe."

At this point Gill's right hand man cleared his throat and introduced himself," My name is Slapton Ley"he said.

"Where's that?" asked Janet.

'I was named after the place i was concieved' explained Slapton,'my father was a sewage operative in Devon at the time'.

Oddy heard about the computer company and got such a fright he nocked the giant jenga game over...onto him

"Excuse me", said Slapton Ley, "as I was saying, I have something very important to tell you"

"the new computer company will create a computer so greate that the people using it, wont even need to think, it does this for them"

'will it be clever enough to keep this homicidal alien off my legs?' asked Gill

"It may figure out a possibility, but t doesn't have the mechanics."

'Or indeed my elbow from my.....anyway, continue Slapton,we're all ears'

"Well," began Slapton...

"I just thought I'd let you know that actually I'm an evil dark lord and intend to take over the world, but have been doing it by inventing computer bugs as mother always says that it's not very nice to kill people."

There folowed a long silence.

"It's my day off" Slapton explained.
