> After Jason’s announcement about attacks on the board I have stopped reading the board at work. Having spent the better part of a week cleaning up after a virus infection I have no wish to be - however inadvertently - the cause of another. This is not a comment on Jason’s efforts with the board, but a reflection of the fact that if I cause a disaster at work my **** will be had for ******* and I will probably end up with various parts of my anatomy spread across the office. And nasty comments in my next review.

He had made some comments about the woman being like a scarecrow, but with better hooters, which Amber felt was a little unfair. She had in fact seemed quite attractive - if scantily dressed.

Hatman remained behind to negotiate and try to form some plan for getting the immature humans to safety, while the rest of us played for time by going off to find the components.
