Notices by Cadbury Moose (cadbury_moose@wandering.shop)

@cstross "Extremely satisfied customers", this moose would add.

(Eagerly awaiting the next (and unfortunately the last) Laundry novel.)

@cstross My linisher is smarter than that (and a damned sight more useful).

@cstross The Russians haven't changed since WW2.

@cstross But it's great when it happens. 3:O)>

In other Laundry news: Audible have just cancelled my preorder for the audiobook of "A Conventional Boy", citing "Delayed Indefinitely" (Big River still have it listed for purchase, of course.) Ah well, the hardcover should (Ha!) arrive tomorrow and I can read that. 3:O)>

@cstross

Maybe they just like Swede Porn?

@feorag @cstross

This moose just uses a mirror and nail-clippers. (Plus, the local barber includes an eyebrow trim FOC when necessary.)

3:O)>

(But in Charlie's case: "Yeowch!".)

3:O(>

@cstross @midgephoto @waltman

Propofol FTW! (The only thing this moose noticed was a cool feeling in the wrist as it was administered, and then the pattern of the ceiling tiles suddenly changing as they'd moved me to a different room while I was "out".) Amazing stuff. 3:O)>

@cstross

Worse than "Cooking Whisky"? A friend bought a bottle of "Loch Dhu" at the Duty-Free on his way back to the UK, years (Decades?) ago, and eventually opened and tried it. It was a "Black Whisky", utterly disgusting, and his verdict was "I wouldn't clean spoons with it". I suspect he's regretting trying it even more now, since the perpetrating distillery is long gone and collectors will pay stupid prices (£250) for an unopened bottle (the best kind) of it.

John Steinbeck"

Proceedings of Mice and men.
Smoke on the waterfront.

H.G.Wells:

A short history of the world series.
The war of the worlds worst
The time wasting machine

@cstross The High Window Cleaner. (Chandler)

@cstross The Dental Dam Busters.

@cstross Not sock storage (with built-in teleport so they randomly disappear or move between drawers)?

@cstross The Telcos _really_ need to do something about VoIP and "offshore" calls.

1) Tag "International" calls as just that (this used to happen).

2) Tag VoIP calls as VoIP if they're external to your network (if BT, not 21CN or UK businesses, etc.)

3) Set up a reporting method and _DO_ something about the rogue VoIP providers. Exchanges are all computers now and have billing systems, so calls are trackable to the originating telco. If they're supporting abuse, block them.

@cstross You did it with Starstreak though... 3:O)>

@cstross

Such as this one? 3:O)>

@cstross @nyrath

...and eventually it killed him. (If there had been any kind of support network in those days he wouldn't have run out of food and shot himself, being unwilling to ask for help.) 3:O((>

@cstross It's not Pattern 105 so I'm not interested. (Not that I'd be able to afford Milspec USB connectors, of course.)

(Do I dare go and look at the F.C.Lane website to see if they exist?)

@cstross

Looks do-able over here. You'd want the side-art to be of Cthulhu in green leather though.

I agree about the wallet executing the HCF instruction though. 3:O(>

One that would hold your MacBook and associated tech would be seriously neat. (Probably set a metal detector off like that scene in "The Adventures of Barry McKenzie" though....) 3:O)>

@cstross @feorag @phlebas

Ditto: Old age and related problems qualify this moose for the "Flooster". (Though not the Shingles vaccine, bugger it. I fall in the gap for that one.) 3:O(>

@cstross

Badenoch is bad enough to keep the Tories out of power for the foreseeable future. (I think this is a great choice.)
