Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and you expect me to do homework. Call that job satisfaction? ‘Cause I don’t.

LISTER: Holly?
HOLLY: Yes, Dave?
LISTER: If I give you my Cat dictionary, can you translate this for me?
HOLLY: Oh, I'll give it a go, Dave.
TOASTER: Why are you always asking him? I'll do it.
LISTER: You're a toaster.
TOASTER: Yeah, I was thinking of packing it in. It's turning me into something I don't like. I'm not a moaner by nature, you know.
LISTER: No, by nature you're a toaster.
TOASTER: Yeah, it just strikes me that there might be something more. Something greater. Something unimaginably more splendid than heating bread.

RED DWARF PING!

I'm still looking for a lightweight plastic "cap" looking like a dalek, to mount on these things. The early style with the toilet plunger.

Anyone have the manufacturing skills?
