David has sold my beloved fruit machine on e-bay for £10.50 "to make more room in the office" for our new joiners, he might have a point. But! Matt and I nearly killed ourselves carrying that thing up the stairs! And in doing so we bonded with 'fruity' in a special way.
So with a heavy heart I turn to the words of others to express my feelings on this impromptu break-up :(
"And although we might say that we're alright,
it's clear that we've stepped out of time.
There's something quite telling just there at the edge of your smile.
And its not that a heart has been broken.
It's just sad when the flames start to freeze.
And the sparks that we had can no longer light up our debris.
It's just part of us all growing older.
Facing things that we don't want to see.
Like a heart is a thing ever changing.
And love, is a thing that will come and go with the breeze."

This will take you to a new window.
A fruit machine isn't just for Christmas, you know. And like the parent who fed and watered the family pet after the initial novelty had subsided, I was the only one who ever played the thing. Most of the time it just sat in the corner gathering dust.
I think the burly Essex men who towed it away will give it much more love than we ever did.
