If they've still got that texturing, the machine's either new, they change the keyboard weekly or they've just bought it to show off on trains.Louis Barfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500085182214151483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-6769905507309602112009-05-18T12:47:00.000+01:002009-05-18T12:47:00.000+01:00ALG - Maybe the vcr was being used as a cache by s...ALG - Maybe the vcr was being used as a cache by sophisticated urban squirrels.

On opening it up, I found a considerable quantity of pipe tobacco and boiled rice inside it. The tobacco I can almost understand, but I'll never get my head round how the boiled rice got in there (and I can't stress the boiled part enough.)Apres la Guerrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08990463198243979385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853971.post-31484232364869311302009-05-17T20:16:00.000+01:002009-05-17T20:16:00.000+01:00I can’t compete with that!

I played it nonchalant, angled the screen so no one could see it and mimed typing all the way to Paddington. Happy days.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13538704661369505931noreply@blogger.com
