excellent work dispelling the myth that we do bugger all.

What we really need is a complete lugmaster replacement, can it be on
first name terms with the curry house staff?  will it have *really*
scary jokes? can it sip coke in a comedy manner?

how random is the whrandom lib? is it random enough to ensure we meander
meaninglessly until the code word 'dirty sanchez' is uttered?  

I understand that new phrases can be added at any time but there is a
disturbing lack of real filth we have come to require in a lugmaster. 
How can any lug last more than a matter of weeks without a joke about
turds that lasts a fortnight, isn't very funny anyway, but 'floats' the
conversation. ;-)

we need a road map for the progression of the lug master program before
we go public with a beta version.  
  1) add 'wacken' phrases
  2) add 'dirty sanchez' keyword
  3) add script to update website 
  4) get the beard colour to accessible levels (at the moment we are
having complaints from the colour blind that they can't see the beard
and have some trouble distinushing bot from botmaster) ;-)
  5) add extra botmaster jokes to database
  6) <a title="Rimming Peter Oliver" id="Rimming Peter Oliver"
href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=rimming+Peter+Oliver&btnG=Google+Search">rimming Peter Oliver</a> (for no better reason than we can)

As long as we don't stray too far from the road map I see a fully
functioning Python lugmaster being available so all lugs can replace
aging wetware models no later that tuesday ;-)

PS - I tried to code a quick replacement in DOS but couldn't find a
memory model able to hold the ego thank god that we don't have the same
problems in linux.

PPS - reporter has just said 'f**k it' live on SKY News ;-) see Dan I
told you there was a reason for watching it ;-)
