Even radio 4 takes the piss out of this. Anyway, we loved this post, especially the 'Yes! I have, I’m here, doing one of your jobs myself and arguing with a computer which is doing the other.' bit. Ya know, when i was in Singapore, i asked my momma how to fill up her car with petrol, should the need arise. She replied: 'What are you talking about? Just sit there and the man will fill it up for you!' Those were the days.... ‘unexpected item in the bagging area’

Vero, I did come looking for you, and I put a comment somewhere on here telling you that Kioko sent me to the place where you USED to work, so I missed you. I declined when the staff there offered me your mobile number: I thought it looked abit too sleazy already with this old Mzungu bloke stalking a beautiful young Kenyan girl.
