Stupid Things We Said (Almathera)
During the 1990s Jolyon Ralph worked as Technical Directory of Almathera Systems Ltd, a software development company producing software for the Commodore Amiga. During those years a few daft things were said. Those that had nothing better to do at the time recorded these for posterity in a text file. Here is that file, rescued from an eight year old gold disc.Cast includes:

squeak out.'"
