33 - Technodependency

In the Old Pull and Push tavern the good companions are sitting around, ignoring their pints as they tap assiduously at their iPads. Oud Ramonides is lost in an online yiddish translation of Eliot's long lost 'He do the Policemen  in Different Voices' whilst Samuel Quinine is updating his MySpace profile, wondering why no-one has contacted him there, and Hasib is scribbling obscure prose-poetry. The evening passes peacefully until Malvolio Claxendell looks up from his clockwork T-reader and mutters, 'Lucky we haven't got to talk to each other, innit!' However his observations are interrupted by a clatter of gold and plastic as he inadvertently drops his dentures.
