July 21, 2008
It’s not “What have the Romans done for us”, but the Indians, you know the Curry, Bollywood Indians, as apposed to the Tipis, Sitting Bull Indians. Anyway it was a long time ago, speaking of which… time we had a look (little in joke).

Wonders of modern science… will it never cease. All the same I’d like one, not sure what I’d use it for though.
