Ani — Sounds like a fair deal. *passing hacksaw*

Angelalala — At the third swoon, the time sponsored by An Unreliable Witness will be … oh damn, my watch is broken.

Lillipilli — You and me both.

2ndhandsoul — Fortunately, my watch is broken.

Andre — Hallelujah, praise the Lord.

Jack — The problem with BBCi is that pages just take too long to appear. It’s not nearly as much fun repeating pressing the refresh button in a state of excitement.

Ben — Lying in bed talking to the speaking clock, looking at Ceefax and listening to the shipping forecast? Gosh, I just had a flashback to my entire teenage life.

I’ve gone all nostalgic for things I’ve only half done. I want to spend a stormy evening, like this one, lying indolently in bed talking to the speaking clock, looking at Ceefax and listening to the shipping forecast.

You capture that nostalgia as a whole upsettingly well.

Ceefax used to speak to me. Especially page 251, that filthy tart.

BBCi just isn’t the same.

“This is your life and it’s ending one minute at a time.” Beep beep beep.

All that stroking and speak of teenage hormones, I’m off to wash the sheets.

Gosh. I’ll stop short of that and just *swoon*, if you don’t mind.

Anyone got the time?

Makes me want to hacksaw your skull just to place a kiss on your cerebrum.
