[sdiy] Major Score in the Dumpster at work!

[Paul Maddox]

Jim,

hehe, I have the same problem...

I work for DERA , Deffence Evaluation and Research Agnecy, part of the
MOD...
some of the stuff they chuck is just plain criminal, I could use soooo much
of it...

  But its a dismissable offence to take it from the bin, it has to be
disposed of correctly (ie, ANHILATED!) shame.....

  Paul
