[Petra Fyde]

[Barian]

Pot.....kettle......black

 

[Seasseragh]

Good Point, Barian

Good Afternoon, all!

 

[Kiminality]

My kettle's white...

Hideous, white plastic kettle of sprinkling-boiling-water-everywhere-but-where-you-want-it.
Like, my bare feet...

 

[Nilrem]

Ah, but at least it does in fact boil the water...the feet thing just requires the judicious use of wellies.


Afternoon/evening all

 

[Seasseragh]

Like, my bare feet...

*claps* Don´t let those minor inconveniences deter you! Bare feet ftw!!

 

[Barian]

Mornin peeps

 

[Seasseragh]

Morning all!

 

[Barian]

Where da Babble at ?

 

[Petra Fyde]

went grocery shopping. Cupboard no longer bare.

 

[Barian]

Good Babble morning peeps

 

[Nilrem]

Good morning all.

Just had the pleasure of draining the radiators, which is always fun (especially as I had to repair the trap door into the loft first).

 

[Petra Fyde]

g'morning Expecting the youngest to visit today, not sure when he'll arrive so I don't want to start anything I can't abandon in the middle.

 

[Kiminality]

Ordered curry last night.
Standard fare, including plain naan, and poppadoms.

So...
The cat's mooching around, looking for something to do, when I break off a bit of poppadom.
She then perks up, and trots over all gleefully, like I've just opened a gateway to the land of unlimited meaty treats.
I turn her away from my food, naturally, at the same time my partner breaks off a piece of poppadom in the other room. Off she scampers, with her head full of glee, and I remember something.

There was no mistake on her part.
When she was younger, she used to love poppadom, when we ordered curry. Several years ago.

Does anyone remember being asked to write "what I did in my holidays" when they were at junior school?


Here is my version:


1) Went pony-trekking with my sister and her kids. Everybody got wet through to their underwear.

2) Went coasteering with the above, and the Bunnis Minor. Everybody got wet.

3) Went on an expedition to watch the seals at Worms' Head. More soggy boxers.

4) Family cycling followed by a pub lunch. Asked to eat luch in the beer-garden as we were too wet to be allowed in the pub restaurant.

5) Canoeing, (in the rain). Wet.

6) My sister having major diabetic hypo, which was possibly the most frightening thing I have ever witnessed. (At least I didn't get wet.)

7) Jumping into a lake for the amusement of others. Extreme dampness.


Now, just in case you're thinking that I have exaggerated the moistness of my fortnights holiday... I have been off work since 2nd August, and it has rained EVERY BLOODY DAY.



*books holiday in the middle of the Sahara for next year*

 

[Barian]

Monsoon in Sahara next year then?

 

[Petra Fyde]

Youngest came, youngest went. I now have working microphone and have logged in to connector for the first time. Only trouble was I then had to persuade someone in irc to log in and talk to me so I could find out if/how it worked.

 

[Nilrem]

*stops doing the rain dance*

Afternoon all.

Sounds like a fun, if slightly damp week Fluffi

 

[Barian]

Mornin peeps

more or less...

 

[Nilrem]

Afternoon all.

Just had the wonderful news, my nephews managed to kill his PC...(well maybe not kill, but it's not booting).
Going on past experience I expect the fun of a new hard drive and windows install (it sounds like a drive issue, and the drive is about 4-5 years old).
Joy.


Anyone doing anything exciting today?

 

[Ithilkir]

*stumbles back from the wilderness*

Gazooks!!

Been a while since I managed to get onto these forums I tell you... Hmmm, need to mess around to get a nice dark skin for the forums again *mutters and wanders off to the control panel*


*waves to all*

[Fluffi]

Petra,

Where do the Europans lurk in Stratics Chat?


After delighting all the Stratics OT 'merkins with my delightful lilting accent, it's probably time to confuse all the Europans who expect me to say "there's lovely boyo" and sing Men Of Harlech.

 

[Petra Fyde]

Dunno Fluffi. I had to get someone from irc to log in to connector just so I could find out if it was working. No one in OT, no one in ultima-online.

 

[Barian]

*spots OB lurking*

*reels him in through the Revolving Door*

Got another one.......

 

[Petra Fyde]

I think you only got him as far as the boards, I don't think he's made it into UO as yet.

 

[Barian]

First things first......

 

[Nilrem]

Give it time..


Morning all

 

[Barian]

Don't just stand there.....help me nail him to the floor.....

*hammers*

 

[Nilrem]

*fires up the compressor*

Should I use the 2 inch or 3 inch nails?

*PHOOSHTHWACK*

 

[Barian]

*ducks*

Watch where you're pointing that thing.....................

 

[Nilrem]

Don't worry, i'm sure Petra has some earings on her vendor that can cover the hole in your ear nicely.

 

[Helbrass]

*Peeks in*

 

[Nilrem]

*PHOOSHTHWACK*

Damn, missed he closed the door.

Got to practice my fencing today, the old man wants to repair the back fence

 

[Barian]

Nailgun should come in handy then.................

*passes coffee to Petra*

 

[Nilrem]

If only, it's a wire fence (should be handy for the new shed though :evilgrin: )

Jammy dodger anyone?
