The handle is useful for hanging your keys from, as every time you move
your head they remind you where you left them.

I wear an allyhat while at the computer. Blow kitchen foil, fold it

there's even the smallest hole, the helicopters will find it.

Are you sure about that? I use two layers of Tesco's Finest -- a bit
more expensive, but I thought it was well worth it. You've got me
seriously worried now. But I do wear rubber-soled shoes, so maybe the
transmissions won't get a good circuit.

Some of you will unforget that in the early days of Zetnet and for a few
years I managed the e-mail etc for Nicholas Besley
, and posted in these august columns from there,
but signing them as myself, which confused a lot of people no end.

Well, yesterday, I put together four windows Nick gave me when his house
was enlarged, and with them I made a sort-of large bell-cloche/small
greenhouse arrangement for the chillis I've got coming on. So, much to
my surprise, having just finished the greencloche I received a phone
call from Nick. I haven't heard from him for a year or so.

Talk about allyhats?

If they can't find bin Laden, they won't find anything the size of
liberty caps - unless they fit them all with little transmitters innit.

Or is that what the nipple on top is for?

And it's important not to fall for the brilliant Cold-War thing they
apparently got the Russians to believe. (Sorry: warning, I'm actually
being serious here.) You _can't_ read somebody's newspaper from a
satellite image. What a specialised sat can do is read the infra-red
signature of an area: if they can get the resolution, this can within
limits tell an expert what kind of vegetation there is. I don't know
how fine they can go, but I'll be astounded if it gets down to the
lawn at Number Thirty-Two in any detail. I doubt if anybody's
cherished psilocybes or skunk are in any danger of surveillance from
space.

If that farmer doesn't like people checking, he doesn't have to take
our money!
