The bearings have gone on mine. The later versions with the balance
shafts don't vibrate as much but lack the soul of the old patois with
its whirling eccentrics and governor balls.

It all seems a bit forced to me. They're one stop short of "You don't
have to be mad to work here, thobut."

As for the one who insists on ROT13ing the word 'work', I almost
despair.

Oh, that's a standard in the shed. And no one ROT13s is anyway - half

No it doesn't, although mine gets hot enough to keep a drink warm if
you're using lots of the functions.

Fine phone, apart from some software bugs that are being ironed out.

And it was a free upgrade 'cos I use it lots and the contract allowed

It's still a 4-letter word even after being ROT13'd.

They seem mostly harmless.
And it's probably better that they're allowed to continue with their

I could, but maybe it hasn't occurred to you that I might want to read
anything that turns up in urs, just in case it's an interesting
newcomer, whereas you obviously don't want to read what we write.

It seems a shame. We're *usually* on rather good terms with the bikers.

It's not that I don't want to read it. I just don't want you to write
it. Or, rather, I don't want there to be people who would write it,
because it's kind of sad and it cheapens humanity a little.

There's a problem with that. Or two.
