Bloody hell.  Is that the one that's been chasing me around Whetstone
and Finchley for the last three years ?  It worked fine last time I
saw it -- there's a problem with the power inside the case (a dry
joint or something).  Every time I got as far as opening the case it
started working by itself -- I could never get it to go wrong for
long enough to find the problem.

It's probably a different one, though.  Bon Chance.

Simon.
