I'll be your friend Ned.

When do I get my monitor?

Skinny, why don't they do coloured brake fluid? There that's made his day.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

No wonder universities have to charge top up fees- upgrading peoples monitors!

Is there any actual need I wonder?

I work in I.T.

By the end of tomorrow I will have spent 2 weeks making print queues!

If it wasn't for having the Radio4 play of The Lord Of The Rings and The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy on tape I'd have gone mad with boredom.

If I finish the rest of them by tomorrow I firmly to spend a lot of time next week off sick! Probably with an illness that can only be cured by spending a lot of time in the garage!

Cheers,

James
