Ha ha! And you could have got it for £14.99 only a couple of weeks
ago.

I bought my first for £19.99. Argos always reduce the price after a few weeks.

Of course, they blindsided me with the reduction to £14.99, which means they
have £5 of mine that they shouldn't, but I'm STILL NOT BITTER.

He is "Both" or "Beefy" - I doubt very much whether he would take to
being called by a diminutive form of his name.

An incorrect plural in normal English usage.

I find that is only the case up to a point. Then flerbal vuency starts to
become a problem. Mathematical agility does change though - number of
pints said to be drunk moves from a linear to an exponential scale.

I wasn't quite sure either, and I don't really like to accept this
sort of thing at face value, so I'm planning a series of tests and
experiments over the course of the next few weekends.

I see a good opportunity for a for a 16 (or 17) day test in the not so
distant future. Working out a north-corrected back bearing should at
least prove one half of the hypothosis :-)
