And the file, from those obscure ranges,
Contained none of my most recent changes.

I saved a spreadsheet onto my C:\,

For 3 bells chime and I must dash,

For, so swiftly it was saved, the sight

For those of us wishing Mackenzie Crook would take on the Showrunner role in Doctor Who, it's worth remembering he's already played Servalan in 'Blakes Junction 7', so has form.
