Yes, but even our dearest TXL couldn't find the whereabouts of the plaque in order to save the shop.

That's hardly computational perfection, dear friend!

I did apply to be a security guard but the wage I was offered sucked. I think it was just the wrong position at the wrong time.

However I used to dress up all the time as a kid and somewhere we have a picture of me done up as a Sam inspired night watchman. *Grins*
