Progress on The Machine: Lattice tower now installed and fully rigged, with only minor injuries to engineering crew. This should enable 'remote access' over much larger distances. Unfortunately, haven't found a way around the Heisenberg uncertainty principle yet; the clarity of the message conveyed is inversely proportional to the distance from the tower.

Preliminary tests expected this afternoon.


The tower (left) and control rigging (right).  Once connected to the Omni-view it will allow direct insertion of information into the subject's thought-stream.  May not work on BNP and UKIP supporters, for obvious reasons.

Update: Success!  Time for a nap, I think.

I wasn't referring to your government's policies in particular; sport has been going on far longer than New Labour, as I'm sure you're aware (and sport stars are obviously direct beneficiaries of the minimum wage...).

I'm not low, simply... pensive. And short, of course.

Thank you all the same, though.

There was a time before New Labour? Heaven forfend, that people should have lived in such dark days!

If you're that short, I may forgo the effort of pulling out the sofabed and simply push two armchairs together.

You know there was; you had to create New Labour, after all, or would you prefer the public to forget how you revolutionised your party for the 'good of the country', hmmm?

A sofabed will be fine, thank you.

Oh we shadowy figures of parliament are used to having our due credit given to someone else.

Well get up, if you can do so without toppling over again and help me remove the sofa cushions. There's bedding in the bottom of the cabinet, over there.

If you insist.

I am more than capable of getting up without toppling over... and here's the bedding.

*Cough* I suppose I should... should thank you. Admittedly, I have done numerous times throughout tonight, but... well... just... just thank you. And, of course, sorry for interrupting your nap however many hours ago it was.

Well done.

*Unfolds sofa bed and starts to do the sheets*

I'd make you make the bed yourself, but I suspect you arms aren't long enough to unfold the sheets. You do the pillows instead.

I know I should be offended by that statement, but you making the sheets up does mean less effort on my part...

*glare*

I'm sure your arms won't be too short to reach the kettle and a packet of tea tomorrow morning.

Good night.

I'm sure they aren't.

Goodnight, Peter.
