# Arthur Dent and Marvin the Paranoid Android
taking a holiday in Devon. Arthur is delighted at the prospect of cream teas in quaint tea shops, and is salivating at thinking of the Darjeeling and yummy scones. Problematically he can't actually locate a tea shop anywhere in the small village he's staying in, and the teasing and denial is sending him a bit loopy. Marvin is so utterly bored and depressed at the lack of anything to do and the mind-wrenching monotony of it all that he has gone into screensaver mode, and is just sitting there with his lights blinking in mesmerising patterns and playing lift muzac through his speaker grill. An old lady is using him as a makeshift bench whilst she waits for the once-daily bus. Arthur has just passed out from tea deprivation, and a small child has pissed in his eye (the left eye).

No, I wrote it a couple of hours ago (in gedit), and just couldn't be bothered to keep watching the board in order to pounce. I took the first best opportunity.
