A tight squeeze

Oh the names they give these hard disk drives: Gary Clinton at Bibby International Logistics was looking for the impressively-named 60Gb Quantum Fireball Plus on eBay, or at least that’s the story he’s sticking to.
But the racy moniker seems to have persuaded eBay that his tastes were more exotic than a little extra data storage.
‘Similar items from all eBay sellers’, it said. ‘Sexy black fishnet tights XXL Plus size 50in – 60in hip’.
We have no evidence that Quantum has diversified into this line of work, but frankly if it did, we might be tempted to write about it a bit more often.
‘I wonder what the capacity of XXL fishnet tights would be?’ asks Gary.
If anyone has a picture of these particular garments on your XXL legs to provide the answer to this question, please send to us. We’ll believe you when you tell us you just went into the shop to buy a hard disk drive.
