Caravan Harriet is totally pissed off.

She recorded a whole heap of vocals last night for this fight - but her stupid father left the stupid computer's "record" button on and after she went to bed he discovered that he had recorded an hour of ambient noise and the computer said "jam this up your arse" (or something similar in 111100001110001 language) and the computer froze up, so he turned it off and on again, which cures everything - and the vocals had all disappeared.

she might try again

So, no Dad involved in this fight BUT I do have a Ford's Theater Disaster offering that literally wrote itself and dragged me kicking and screaming to the computer record. :-)
