Tampered with? You mean, I haven't edited it since I posted it.
That's because it was perfect the first time. Oh, well, I did notice ONE LITTLE spelling error which I fixed before hitting submit. So, I guess it wasn't PERFECT on its first run-through.

Only one l.
I didn't know about this...

I guess that's because I've always stayed put. <grin>
It's just Britain's way of making sure paper was more scarce due to all the extra letters that have to be added.
And nowadays they use more bandwidth.
And nowadays they use more bandwidth.
Ironically I don't.

Seems fitting, you have lived twice as long as the rest of us apparently.
I don't know if I can hit the high notes with this cold of mine but I'll try...
It's like trying to phone sooooomeone, when you don't have their number.
How ironic!
Oh dear! I'm afraid it's not only the bins some people will be raking through... Horrible images of polluted swimming pools come to mind, or a re-hash of one of the "Captain's Chair" drabbles
(I don't usually have that kind of mind, but reading lots of drabbles has a deep, underlying effect on the psyche)

Welcome to another week of Abraka Drabble, the weekly drabble competition where we invite you all to submit your drabbles, what's a drabble ?
A drabble is a short story of exactly 100 words (Excluding Title) and for the purpose of this competition it is set in the elite : Dangerous universe and to fit the theme picked by the previous weeks winner.
Last week's drabble was riobbed and in horrific style by Eric Marcaigh, who 'recycled' one of Franks old drabbles, and of course joint winner Alien with another win... no seriously... yes Way.... yes way... no weigh way!... and as a nod to the dispicable crime commited by Eric, the new topic for this week is........
"Recycled Topic"
Now we do have some rules...
1. Drabbles must be 100 words exactly (Excluding the title)
2. Over-use of-hyphens-to keep your word-count at 100 is very amusing but frowned upon.
3. Keep it as clean as you can to suit the family forum rules here, so no frogs attached to anatomical parts
4. Only the first 20 entries are guaranteed a place in the weekly poll
5. 1 entry each, you may write as many drabbles as you want, but it is assumed that your first drabble is your chosen entry unless otherwise advised. But please mark Drabbles that you don't want entered as such
6. If your drabble is under or over 100 words you will have a chance to correct it before the poll is erected, at this point, your drabble may be DQ'd if other drabbles are available to take its place.
7. Drabbles must be set in the Elite Dangerous universe (as loosely as you care to make it)
8. It should try to meet the theme in some arguable way.
9. If there is more than one theme you must match at least one, but can gain extra votes if you meet more.
10. It's all for a bit of fun, so enjoy yourself... Enjoyment is mandatory!
Sometimes it's difficult to know what constitutes exactly 100 words. Out arbiter is
www.wordcounter.net
It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Its count is the law.
So submit your drabbles in reply to this thread, and the first 20 will be guaranteed entry into this weeks poll, and read out on our live Show Friday night.
Entries close at Random O'clock on Thursday evening (or sometimes if we have 20 entries earlier). All Drabbles submitted up to Friday Afternoon will have a good chance of being read out on the live Drabble readiing show.

With "Recycled Topics", I can go back in time, pick a topic that I never got to write on, and write my very own drabble this week.
