well sparkout im quiet willing to explain im not an expert by any means
im just computer literate
and tech savy
warning techno gabble included mostly spolier
the people at work are still in the stone age
last month i did some over time taking calls for missed packed parcel/requests for extras notcied the printer wasnt working i
looked
at the printers installed and
noticed it was the old printer the one that had been replaced a few months back since a game on there had also gone i assumed
the tech people had simple put an old image of the computers drive back on i just told it that the printer i wanted to use was on the network called stockton-color3 and low and be hold it worked
when it came for me to go the supervisor who's job id been doing since he was busy driving and delivering papers came to replace me and said oh you got the printer working then it wasnt yesterday...

I'm sure another puzzle concerning underground railways
with pictures could be arranged
Or something like "If 3 people and locked into cupboards, which one screams first?"

Well -- that started me doing some Googling... Didn't recognise the name Mark Benton but I know him from the adverts - making the TRUTH funny.
And the creation of Barton Swing Aqueduct earns it's place in Clever s*ds cause that is nice (and not particularly high).. Puts me in mind of our own Tyne Swing Bridge. (Not particularly high at all)

SEE. Perfect side view of interesting bridge. Good choice Clvrlad.
And just so you can all join in on the joke, this is Mark Benton

But what is the connection between him and bridges?
Am I being thick again?
