    I gave up putting comment things under posts as a waste of time as they would mostly show 0 comments (like yours) If you click on where it says "last commenty thing" at left. brings up the last one I could be arsed to do.

    PS That video has some bicycles in, I note. Too deep for me otherwise, must be a zen thing again.
    Insightful. Well, it was a team building thing. The others, and the editor in particular, didn't quite get the artistic vision. So it's as close as I could manage.

    This is all part of your latest cunning plan isn't it ZG. Build hugely inneficient devices to warmt he planet up enough that Giant Alien Lizard Kind will find it hospitable enough to colonise permanently!

    They've a new photocopier here. It came with 18 cds. Well it's a printer and scanner too. But 18 cds?

    Anyways, they've spent all week setting it up, and it's still not playing.

    The Engineers, three of them, have gone for lunch, so I've just been and removed a piece of plastic. I'm sure it will help.

    It probably got broken off when somebody was photocopying their nether regions; those things really aren't strong enough to take a 23 stone woman sitting on them.

    Have you washed your hands, or rather claws?

    But the photocopier seems to work better without it rattling around in the cogs.
    It's probably some manky paper guide or something. I'd say you were wise to remove it, theres usually lots of spare bits on a photocopier that aren't actually used!
