Where did I put that mp3 ... ah, yes.

Don't just tease us with what sounds like an excellent listen, where did
that MP3 come from?
Well, I could tease you by mentioning such things as the fact that the
speaker is (or was) a self-employed Civil Servant; or that as Captain,
he's the last one out of the plane, and if he passes you on the way out,
you are to assume the rank of Captain.
Or I could just mention the name "Qnivq Thafba" and leave it to you to
do the appropriate bit of giggling, as well as to fork over the nine
quid or so the CD will cost you ... (plus shipping, that is.) Looks like
they'll re-release it in a week or so.
I happened upon enough details about twelve months ago that I could
order my own copy of said Clue, having listened to it at University
from vinyl owned by a friend of mine about fourteen years previous. It
got to the stage where we'd listened to it enough that we could actually
quote large sections of it on demand. He was in the OTC at the place,
and seriously liked his planes, and I think I'd like to collide with him
again, if ever I get the chance. Not seen him for a good while, for
miscellaneous reasons.
Anyway, a few days later, the package arrived. And so I now have a copy
on tape.
D'oh! Ordered the wrong media, didn't I?
It mp3s better than I thought it would, though...
