Huge Sheets of Rubberised Paper.

Surely they shouldn't be sending data around in vans these days.

Highly Spiced Rice Pudding?

[CdM] I read that as 'High Speed Rice Pudding'. The pudding-mistakes compound themselves because I read Rab's post thinking of a Dutch dessert called 'vla' (basically cold custard), and a Limburgse tart called 'vlai'. And I'm bloomin' hungry this morning.

[INJ] Do not underestimate the bandwidth of a transit van full of DAT tapes.

(Packet rate's lousy though.)

[Simons] Reminds me of A Fire Upon the Deep, where the protagonists get transport on a spaceship whose "cargo" is a one-third xor of a one-time pad.

Oh, come on, I know y'all are just PUDDING on a show of your favorite puns!

I read "vla" as "via" and thought of a company called Viasat and thus, thought of pudding being sent through outer space.

[Kag] And what if I gave a tart response denying that claim? ...Oh, bugger.

Well that ended very messily, didn't it? Is anythinjg nice happening this weekend? I have to admit, I'm bored, bored, bored, this weekend and not even entertained by the thought that I can actually hang washing outside today. Roll on work on Monday.
