awesome teaching - nacht
too late for last week, but it kind of works ...

~~wavy~~

many years ago I was an undergrad at a West London Uni that most people think is in Bristol. being a bit of a high-flier I was on an Eng-with-Management course with all the braying fools that entailed. I later dropped down to MechEng & then dropped out to geekdom - most of the others ended up doing Accountancy. anyway, meh

so, back to the story. our intrepid heroes had hired the SU minibus for an hilarious student trip to somewhere or other. on the way home the bus needed fuel, so they pull into a service station. fule #1 gets out & attends to the pump. what's this says he, "the nozzle does not fit!" fules #2-8 gather around & proclaim "we are the future of British Engineering, clearly this multinational oil company [from whom we are all begging sponsorship & careers] has it wrong! it is our duty to right the wrong & then they will clasp us to their corporate bosums & shower us with thanks (& ££)"

& verily, a 2l plastic bottle is found from within the minibus, the bottom cut off, & the fuel funneled into the tank

so off they go, the foe of the fuel filler vanquished & the secret safe with them to share with their future [hopefully] employers in the hope of future bounteous reward!

5 miles later & the minibus dies. AA man comes out & says "what twat put diesel in the petrol tank?"[1]
