Ah. Possibly the logical flaws would have bothered me, but the writing style wouldn't have, quite so much?

You seem to have been bothered by the same things as me. But it was useful for killing some hours in the Philadelphia airport, and on the plane, and in Heathrow, so I can't complain too much. I can't say that I really regret the dustbin, though. Particularly since it was actually recycling.
