Unpleasant combination of work stress and house stress at the moment. I've decided to abandon both and go and live in a small hut on an island, from where I can shoot at passers by.

Have you decided on your weapon?
You don't want to have the passers by at the wrong range.

I was thinking of the ballista-harpoon, as recently mentioned on radio 4. Apparently a famous composer hated cats so much that he shot them with an arrow with string attached to it, then reeled them in. While I dissaprove of this being done to cats, it seems quite appropriate for much of humanity.

I like your way of thinking.

What are you planning to do with the reeled in humanity?
Slave labour for you giant particle accelerator difference engine? With elite shock troops in orange boiler suits?

Do you happen to remember which programme mentioned a ballista-harpoon? I'm intrieged and want to see if I can find it on listen again.
