And far more dangerous - with rum smuggling you only have to deal with half-wits who stick within the law - with smuggling intellect you have to deal with quarter wits like Peter Mandelson and Gordon Brown (oh go on PDR - you know you want to).

I could never agree they were quarterwits. As an engineer I would insist on the use of proper rationalised units in the SI convention, so I demand that you properly describe them as "in the 250 milliwit region". As the thread mentions Amazon I'd like to use it as an excuse to point to my two favourite amazon pages (in both cases it's the reviews rather than just the product description). Firstly there's THIS ONE which has to be my all-time favourite review (a work of genius). The second one gets the hutzpah award for the most outrageously priced ethernet cable ever, and the reviews are hilarious. PDR
