      Funnily enough, I came back home, having been out since early morning, heard it on the tele, plugged the lead into the stereo system and did just that.

      It was book sized, book weight and inert, like a book. It was...

      A nationwide strike by the union of philosophers, sages and allied luminaries would br disastrous. For a start there wouldn't be any trains running because trains are certainly uncertain and with nobody to speculate on whether a train might exist, since it couldn't certainly exist then it certainly wouldn't exist. You might be able to ask Deep Thought but who would wait 3.5 x 10^6 years for the next train.

      A day.. they were there for all of 60 mins 1 day, 90 the next... that’s a long expensive trip needing a UK visa. to fly and give up sightseeing so easily... I think the credibility of Russian cover stories was better before trotting out these two... they’ve pretty much admitted to it.
