This thread reminds me of that story about an Australian who tried paying his electricity bill with a picture of a spider that he drew and valued at the same amount as the bill.

The World of staplers is fast moving. Therefore, it is imperative that the thread is left open in case of sudden movements in the stapler market.

Staplers are the new biscuits.
I'm really impressed with the stapler woman.

See Ted L Nancy's 'Letters from a Nut', and Dom Joly's 'Letters to my Golf Club' for starters. The Ted L Nancy one made me guffaw loudly on a train once.
Cheers for the reference - not heard of Ted L Nancy, a quick wiki search showed Henry Root at the top of a list with Robert Popper. Henry Root was one I'd swear by, but you'd have to be familiar with a lot of 70's figures. Robert Popper is another I like & he does some great phone calls under Robin Cooper on youtube.

Could be short for Melanie? I pictured a Librarian-looking woman, but you may be right especially if it's industrial staplers.

I was picturing a Charlton Heston or Red Adair type.

It is indeed short for Melanie. Threader, Melanie ([email protected]).
