Magnets? Fashionable rubbish. We didn't have magnets in the Crimea.

I'm starting to wonder how seriously magnets work. Some of the magnets I've known work just long enough for a 40 hour week. Others have been known to work round the clock with no sleep.

They don't work seriously at all around here. Bastards are always sniggering to themselves and whispering behind the boss's back. :nono:
