Transmission Accomplished


PRESS RELEASE

I'm delighted to showcase for you today this first of TELEDRONE's base stations and a significant investment in the UK. I should like at this juncture to thank the UK government for all it has done toward this ground-breaking development, which was a free sausage roll at Manchester Airport under the 'Eat Out to Help Out' scheme we benefited from during the pandemic. I should also like to thank Percy Adcock for the use of his angle-grinder on a bank holiday.

The transmitter (removes black silk cover to whoops and hollers, but the dry ice generator has failed) is a Futaba T16SZ that with the help of NASA ('s baseball cap) has been heavily-modified in order to control flat-cats, and which we've christened the T16SZZ-TOP.

As Steve Jobs and I used to say over enlarged prostates and carrot juice, not what you add but what you take away that counts in life... and as a gesture this day I've asked for our vending machine to be taken away because it's costing too much.

Accordingly a top-of-the-range ZZ-TOP has all switches and dials removed by angle-grinder ~ as we're known for with coffee-makers ~ leaving only those controls you need in life...

A THROTTLE, A SIDESTICK AND A SLIDER!!!
