a cool new mouse, in fact 2 for the price of 1. Black and silver....very stylish.

Well, it was your idea...

Do you have 2 computers?

I though all computer mouses (sic) were black and silver these days.

John...No. Have you?

Richard....No. My old one (the one with the doughnut extracts) was red (perhaps because of the doughnut extracts)

So getting two mousey mouses wasn't really a bargain then?

yes it was, John. It was 2 for the price of one. Do try and keep up

But the two for the price of one was a little bit more expensive than the other brand one which was being sold singley.

But it was still a bargain cos now you can use two at the same time.

If you have two computers that is.

Did you say that you do have two computers?

If ones male and the other is female you could breed from them then you wouldn't have to buy a new one ever again

I can see you're all getting more confused with the minute. I explain, huh?

The two mouses for the price of one were still cheaper than the next most expensive single mouse. The assistant couldn't seem to explain why some mouses were 9 quid and other 29, therefore I sensibly went for the 2 for 9 quid offer.
I am hoping that mouse life span is considerably shorter than computer life span so that at some point in the near future (assuming Mr Head's theory is correct) my 2nd mouse will be springing into action.

There will now follow a short questionnaire.......

Why do you want one mouse to break quickly just to enable you to use the second one?

Surely the second one is of similar quality so will also therefore break reasonably quickly if the first one does?

Mice surely??

If you turn them over, unscrew the ball cover, take the ball out, clean all the bogeys, cake, coffee dribbles, insects and scum off the rollers and put it all back together you won't have to buy anything unless you're going for a twizzy infra red wireless affair like mine which just eats nine batteries an hour.

But what you can do with your spare one is throw silver paper balls for the cat and then when it chases it, whirl the mouse round your head and lasso the cats legs.

Mice are furry things. Although I admit there might be some black and silver furry computer mouses knocking about.



Stone age Kev

Then skin the cat, chop into pieces, in the pan and you have an authentic Mucky Mary's chinese curry, job's a good 'un.

Being paedantic MOUSE is an acronym (Manually-Operated User-Selection Equipment) so MOUSE is already the plural. Most people pluralise acronyms by adding s, so it would be MOUSEs.

PK being "Out-Pedanted"?!

Priceless!

"How to spark off yet another Bunker controversy without even trying"

Well, it's all Richard's fault....he said I should buy a new one, (an entirely profligate idea which confused John into the bargain)....when all I had to do was take the ball out and lasso the cat

Tossers.

The lorroyers!!

Never mind, pet

I've just read, that whole thread

I must be so bored

They were probably made in China at gunpoint by handicapped babies chained to workbenches in sweat shops and fed on raw rat occasionally and paid seven jiao an eon anyway..............

It's the spelling of the word "paedantic" that worries me the most!

Who's the generous employer?

I'd have only paid them three

Oh come on, Leicester. Where's your sense of frivolity

It concerned me at first.

But then I realised that it was referring to PK so it all became clear.

To paraphrase Mr John, did i shite say you should buy a new one. I said you should try a different one.
And that isn't being paedo-antic!

It was Bank Holiday Sunday.......... Double time and a third. Two rat breaks.

Shouldn't that be two rice breaks - oh yes a DOUBLE play on words, I IS TEH KING
