Subj : into the bin To : All From : Alexander Koryagin Date : Tue Aug 18 2020 08:15:08 Hi, all! In The Gun Seller, by Hugh Laurie, I read this: (Part 2) -----Beginning of the citation----- I arrived back at the flat and went through the usual answerphone routine. Two meaningless bleeps, one wrong number, one call from a friend interrupted in the first sentence, followed by three people I didn't want to hear from who I now had to ring back. God, I hated that machine. I sat down at my desk and went through the day's mail. I threw some bills into the bin, and then remembered that I'd moved the bin into the kitchen - so I got annoyed, stuffed the rest of the post into a drawer, and gave up on the idea that doing chores would help me to get things straight in my mind. ----- The end of the citation ----- Did he mean that he threw his mail on the floor? Bye, all! Alexander Koryagin --- * Origin: nntps://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0) .
