Incidentally, if anyone out there is wondering about how they might make a major melodrama out of a tiny substanceless peanut, I'll be glad to pass on some tips.

Sometimes merchandise gives out a message that only you can hear.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your application form. Unfortunately our resident Peanut-to-Melodrama guru is currently unable to reply, as he was last seen running around the office smashing the furniture with a sledgehammer, screaming that his pen had run out of ink.

Yours faithfully, etc ...

YOU'VE HEARD IT TOO!

[knight66]

Yes, seemingly I heard it being spelt incorrectly. I have a very discerning ear.

[Elgarian]

The game's up, eh?

[Dr. Dread]

The game is a foot.

[Elgarian]

The game is a foot.

The game is 12 inches long?

[knight66]

A short game then, as games go. Three could be run simultaneously out in the yard.

Just had one of those coffee-spraying moments. Nice one Mike.

[Elgarian]

Look, I don't want to make a big deal out of this, but you do realise that when my newly ordered bargain bottom ten Hyperion disc arrives in the post, it probably won't do so until Monday, and then I won't be here to enjoy its friendly plop onto the doormat? I mean, I'm being brave and all that, but I just want it recognised that I'm under a lot of pressure here.

[knight66]

You ordered ALL bottom 10! I had assumed possibly one or two of them.

I think an intervention may be in order. You can avoid this if you redirect the package to me, unopened.

No no! Disc. Disc. Not discs. I'm not that far gone, thank goodness!

[knight66]

As you say, 'thank goodness'. I did wonder how 10 discs would plop, as against damage the parquet.

OK, I have called the dogs off....fir ra noo.

Mike

[Elgarian]

Phew.

[Dr. Dread]

The game is 12 inches long?

No! The game has five toes.

Ah, Brian - not when I was trying to prove to myself that I am a Man of Iron Will Power, it's not. That list of theirs will be the ruin of me. It's turned me into a feeble flab of a person who can't just say no. 'Oh, only one more,' squeaks the little internal voice, and over the edge I go.

Good thing you don't know about Naxos Direct's $2.99 sale.

[Elgarian]

Good thing you don't know about Naxos Direct's $2.99 sale.

Crikey, yes. I'm glad I don't know about that.

[Brian]

Crikey, yes. I'm glad I don't know about that.

In that case, I absolutely, positively, will not link to it.
