Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] lasultrix! Did those Five episodes ever reach you?

BERTHA!

Bertha, lovely Bertha, what a lovely machine...

Please please please tell me the names of the two ladies who do the packing and stacking. I remember Panjit with his forklift but not the ladies' names and this is the kind of thing I half-remember in pub arguments and then no one wins because no one else can remember either.

Ahem. That was a slightly overenthusiastic response for a TV programme about a anthropomorphised factory machine.

Oh, there was a massive collective shriek in my house, from both girls and boys, when we realised Bertha was on DVD. It is fab. I was worried watching it now would spoil my memories but it's even better than I remembered. I think I might have been subconsciously influenced to do a physics degree by the lovely blonde engineer.

The women are called Flo and... maybe Patsy? Will listen out for it.

Flo and Pat was my guess, but we never got round to checking.

DVD, you say? That is all too tempting.

Totally off-topic butting in here, but you did a physics degree? Me too! Which university?

:D University of Glasgow, BSc in Physics & Astronomy. I did a couple of rubbishy office-bitch jobs, then ended up as a secretary in my old physics department for a year and a half before coming here to Kent. I got fed up trying to find something physics-related I could do without a PhD, and decided to go into a different branch of science.

I wonder how many secretaries there are across the country with physics degrees?! That never gets mentioned in their graduate employment surveys...

Nell? Good lord. Who've thought?

MY FLATMATE CHECKED THE POST, PICKED THEM UP, AND FORGOT TO TELL ME ABOUT THEM UNTIL THE PARTY LAST NIGHT.

In other words: Doyle rules, my flatmate sucks. But it's her birthday now so I'll forgive her. :)

Thankeee!
