# It's the word tumbledryer in the sentence.
I was going to say the more logical vacuum cleaner but tumbledryer seemed somehow funnier.

The mystical realm of words for you there.

# tumble
is a funnier word because of the b. Vacuum = no hook letter. Yawn.

# we could be at risk of offending the b3ta censor here
but the fact is that the slight decrease in my probability of scoring is not the source of my present frustration. That source is in fact: the abysmal office i have been put in as a postgrad (and the fact i will have to move in a month anyway) and i've got a cold.

# I know so little of Uni life
But from what you are saying I conclude that you have a work placement as a post-grad and it's crap and not beneficial to your future prospects. Am I close?

# um no work has nothing to do with being a postgrad
i've just started and i've been put in an office one step up from a broom cupboard and the facilities are particularly poor (shared computing facilities for a start) in the school of maths and stats, compared to other schools (like physics) in the faculty. FUCK YOU SCHOOL OF MATHS AND STATS, POSTGRADS WERE PROMISED BETTER. I HAD MY PICK OF UNIS YOU CUNTS.

# I sometimes think about getting an actual usb port on my neck.

# I don't know, it was more just an irrelevent build up to somehow point out that a port is also something with boats in.
Though I'd imagine having one of them in your neck would be quite an awesome superpower. Especially if you stretched around it as a massive super tanker emerged out of your head.

Actually if I could connect my central nervous system with anything I so would, I can't say I'm a massive proponent of the technophile stuff but the ability to port Golden Axe into your brain would be quite nice.

# Oh, I just assumed 'standard shipping' was some computer jargon I didn't know.
Pun doesn't really work -- you should have said just 'port' and not 'usb port'. A port can be either a usb port or a harbour; a usb port can only be a usb port.

# I know, hence why I was questioning whether a usb port would have enough power to control standard shipping.
Like one of those little usb fridges you get...except a port.

# Yes that would be a bad idea as I predict that this would have
been like me having a SCSI port tattoed on my neck - technology changes too fast for tattoing to stay relevant.
