That's right, blighter, blame the damn cat. Odds are Robin buried the
thing under a pile of papers or tripped over the wires so it won't
function. I am of course projecting my own slob-side behavior onto
Robin, which is patently unfair, but since no one will patent it, I must
do so on my own.
Steal a modem? Absurd.

Actually I can believe Boris might have eaten the modem, but since cats
do not have opposable thumbs, the only way the can express their
opposition is to break or eat the object of their displeasure.
I am more intrigued that the UK is surviving Boulter, Prince, Hamilton,
and Collett (sounds like a solicitors' firm), rambling about the
countryside and getting into trouble. Wondrous, wondrous.
