Well, Snortin' says they sound like a fan bearing going out. Sort of a
"Biiiinnnnng...............iinnnggg.......iinngggg" kinda sound. I reckon a
fan bearing going out would sound like
"rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkrrrtt", or something. I say my
theory - that George has moved to larger premises, and forgotten about it -
is the most sensible.

I wonder if Snortin' thinks that vinegar smells like a fan bearing going
out? I wouldn't be surprised.

I've never tried them myself, but I hear that 'Micro Chips' (tasteless,
cardboardy shite that you cook in a microwave oven) are a very liquid
commodity in the domestic fast-food arena. The three of you know nothing
about the holy chip. Or the sounds it makes.
