This one's for HarryT...

montsnmags · 04-14-2008, 10:03 PM

...mostly, so I hope he's paying attention.

Mate, if I was filthy, disgustingly, revoltingly rich, I'd buy you this in a jiff for your efforts:

HarryT's on holiday at the moment, I'm afraid.

maybe we could start up a collection and surprise him with it when he gets back

Maybe we could tell him we started a collection, and then surprise him by not having actually done so.

Don't you reckon it's pretty flash though? I'd love to own (and use) it.

Cheers,
Marc

you're right, maximal surprise value there.

also far more likely to actually work.

I aim to please...or disappoint...just so long as the reaction isn't "[meh]" I'm happy.

Nice choice of words.

I could make a copy of it for about 20 grand... chair extra of course.

zelda_pinwheel · 04-15-2008, 08:19 PM

only 20 grand ? pff, we should get two.

Hey I'm not talking francs here... oh sorry you got Euros now.

Okay make it three and we have a deal!

Oh, I forgot, shipping is also extra.

Seriously, I'd love to do such a piece. They're pretty popular here but no one wants to pay what they're worth.

Maybe we could make a model of the desk in virtual reality and have his robot avatar writing at the desk.

ha good idea, that'll cut down on the shipping charges

but his avatar is really a dalek, so maybe best *not* to put it anywhere near the desk, it will probably "destroy" it...

NatCh · 04-15-2008, 11:19 PM

I think you mean "exterminate" ... that doesn't really apply well to desks, I suppose ... unless they have termites or something ....

ha, oops, i knew that didn't sound quite right... but, as for it not applying to desks, aren't daleks pretty indiscriminate about what they exterminate ? i wouldn't want *my* desk near one...

Zelda, shush your mouth! First you misquote the dear little things, then you accuse them of being indiscrimate?! They are indeed discrimatory, in that the only thing they will exterminate is something they consider inferior to them - that is, everything that is not them (occasional story arcs notwithstanding).

I wish I was a Dalek; then I'd always be at the front of the icecream queue, and get my two scoops of cinnamon and pistachio icecream before it all ran out (then I'd exterminate the icecream man).

(My spellchecker is telling me "icecream" is not a real word. I believe I shall have to exterminate it for such wild insubordination)

Cheers,
Davros...no, EXTERMINATE! Marc
