I'm still in shock Orcs said something that was
A) coherent
and
correct.

Well I just had this chimp knock on the door with the complete works of Shakespeare he said he and hos mates had typed up !

The line Cold news for me, for I had hope of France (spoken by the Duke of York) occurs in two locations in Henry VI part 1. Does your simian scholar have any opinion which is correct? The text is obviously corrupt.

I do question the reading Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,//Or serve bananas to our English dead. How much is Cheetah asking for his edition, anyway?

The opportunity to buy some genitors direct is great. Thanks for that, Dave.

I can not offer more comment, on the basis I typed B then Bracket.

Orcs wins because of the stupidity of artificial intelligence.

As Leon has already said any money I get back I'll pass to Phil to get more figures done.

Does anyone under 40 actually possess a cheque book?

[Techno]

We've still got ours. (Yes.....I know we're not in the under 40 bracket).

But I'm d*mned if the Inland Revenue are going to force us to use online banking, so it's easier for them to get paid.
They can make do with a cheque !

Reminds me of the Bohemian refugee looking for a safe haven: "Can you cache a Czech somewhere here?"

  On the news this morning it mentioned the fact that HMRC won't take credit card payments any more (and I don't think the DVLA will either) thus a cheque book is now a necessity again (EU legislation has made charging for using a credit card illegal - that's how skinflint the British government is!).

I think the no credit cards thing is something to do with not putting tax payments on credit rather than anything to do with the fees.  I don't know the full reasoning behind it, but basically you have to pay your taxes immediately, rather than the bank paying them and you potentially defaulting on the credit card payments.

Maybe he's trying to introduce it as his catchphrase? A fifteenth century version of Shut that door! or Stupid boy! maybe?

They ('we' 11 years ago) don't want people taking on high interest debt to pay tax.  When I was a Collector we we weren't just debt collectors - our aim was to get you on a stable footing so you could continue to earn, we didn't go for a quick hit.  The best way to treat me was to be honest and co-operative. There was a grey area of what you would offer, what I would take, and the line I couldn't cross. The more honest and co-operative (and that means keeping to promises) you were, the bigger the grey area.

In what will surely be a vain attempt to bring us back on track, any photos yet?

I've got them here to do, just not had chance yet.  I've got the Ancient Greek sculpts and some more WWII painted vehicles to photo as well.

Good god, man. What sort of lunatic are you?

Sometimes the pills wear off, and you just do these things.
