Hugo?

*silence*

Hugo??

*more silence*

Hugo?!

What, Lefty? I'm trying to read...

Why's there all this heated debate in the llounge lately?

About what?

Region and stuff... it's getting everyone up in arms...

Oh that. That'll probably be to do with publishers imposing idiotic and frankly ultimately self-defeating geographical restrictions on where the books they publish can be bought and sold. I'm sure they'll eventually see sense. Although the film industry haven't yet, what with region-limited DVDs and everything.

Oh right. Thanks.

*5 minutes later*

So... Hugo?

Yes, Lefty?

This Cheeses person they're all talking about? Are they using an anthromorphic personifcation of all the big cheeses in all the publishing houses to make it simpler?

Probably, Lefty... wait... what? Who?

Cheeses. And something about an organisation that may or may not have been named after or founded by him.

*sound as of sock hitting self on forehead*

I didn't know you could do that, Hugo!

It's not Cheeses, Lefty, it's Jesus. And it's religion, not region. And you're probably best off staying well away... Lefty... Lefty, are you listening to me? Lefty - I don't like that look in your eye...

To be continued?
