    Has he got the "I-Spy Book of National Disasters That Make Gravitas
    and Statesmanship Important", or something??

    If he has, the Poor Bastard(TM) has a few fucking ticks in it by now.

    Not sure I'd call him a poor bastard (lowercase, avoids TM) - he was
    looking at a poor public image of him as grim and dour, but it's
    perfect for all this.

    speaking of which, I've finally got around to MP3-ing the Peter Cook/
    Chris Morris interviews of that name - anyone want a copy?

    Or if someone points me in the right direction (i.e. lets me know the
    login credentials), I could put 'em on the ukrm g-mail drive.

    I don't run a PC at home when I'm out, though.

    Did you give up on the PVR, or is that old news?

    "yes and no". I had it just about working, and everything tweaked
    nicely, and the CPU blew. I haven't rebuilt it yet.

    I bought a Pioneer PVR/DVD recorder instead.

    For most people, that's probably the easiest solution, but we tend to
    use the PVR box for watching downloaded stuff much more often than
    recorded stuff.

    Well, for those sick of handwringing ninnies, it makes a change to see
    someone who looks genuinely grumpy about Bad Things Happening. Brown
    has the perfect face for that.

    Well, really he has the perfect face for radio.

    Cool.

    TOG is Champ's bitch.
    Bonwick is TOG's bitch.
    Adie and Eddie are Sweller's bitches.
    DR is Fr Jack's bitch.
    Auvache, Steph, Christophile, LN's kids, Elly's kids, Elly and my own
    daughter are all my bitches. WUN only wants to be, but he's proved a little
    gun-shy to date.
    Horse is Gyp's bitch.
    Dodger is his own bitch[1].

    And many more. You can be next, if you fancy.

  18. I honestly don't remember actually going for a ride in your chair[1],
    although I would put myself firmly in the group with WUN as a wannabe.
    In fact I am still waiting for you to announce you are taking it for a
    trackday so that I can volunteer.


    [1] Although given the circumstances under which we usually meet I could
    have been a little tired and emotional at the time and thus have an
    excuse for my lapse of memory.
