"That oh-so-modern BBC"

Thought I'd get that nice BBC ticker. You know, the one that fits on your screen and scrolls the news.

But no. I can't. Because they don't have a Windows XP version. Um...how long has XP been around? How many people have XP?

Good to know my licence fee is being put to good use. Well, not my licence fee. My parents. Although I do pay 1/5th of a licence fee up at uni, which I use for the O.C, Simpsons (both C4) and Neighbours.

So I'm basically paying a Neighbours subscription. I reckon they should include a free XP ticker in with this Neighbours subscription, that's all.

Pepsi Max sucks, by the way. Trying to spread the word. And the word is Coca-Cola.

I was going to use Coke as the word for the spreadage. But I might have got banned, maybe. Probably not.

Pepsi sucks.

Right, good. Remember though, you're the face of the business. You've got the looks and charisma, that's the rumour.

Enough with this, I've got to give blood tomorrow, so I'm off to sleep.

They give you a free biscuit, you know. And some stickers. You have to ask for the stickers if you're not a kid. But they still give them to you.

Yeah, and with slavery worse = better, so it's win/win really.

It's a viable business venture.
Cuts out all that heating / cooling red tape that would hold the whole donkey thing back.

So it's agreed, we're going into slavery?

If Brian Blessed makes Pope, that is.

If it weren't for slavery, black people would have no culture and nothing to complain about. In a way, we're being kind.

True that. Ofdonk comes down like a ton of bricks on any reputable hot-donkey salesmen if there's been an outbreak of socialism in the area. Perhaps we should think about packing in the whole donkey business.

I hear slavery is making a comeback.

Only if it's a "tear and share" donkey. But we won't be doing those. It's an American phrase, which when translated into English means "With this product, your selfishness is directly related to your satisfaction upon completion".

Exactly. These kind of business ventures don't usually have the right donkey-heating equipment to begin with.

You'll have tepid and luke-warm and eventually room-temperature donkeys all over the place. And then you'll have people catching socialism and sodomism and suicidism all over the place.

Solutions:
1) No refunds.
2) Backs to walls
3) Freezers.

I'm telling you, frozen is the future.
Easily transported, and you can put little bits of fruit in the ice.

Everybody wins.
Except, perhaps, for the donkeys.

But they were hardly on a roll to begin with.

A tepid donkey can lead to diseases. I heard that if you eat a tepid donkey you catch socialism.

I know you both - you won't be able to keep those donkeys hot for very long.
A tepid donkey is the worse than anything.
