Afternoon scum and a Happy New Year to you all

Good afternoon David, good festive murder spree?

Another frosty silence rick. Back to the bunker for you again. Might need to start importing appeasement hoes from China at this rate.

Pretty much Shah, this is why I like our morning interactions, people just don't try any more around here in the afternoon.

They are all having a snooze I reckon, old farts.

They either lack the wit (sean), the energy (julius) or ability to tap keys (tino without morphine).

Chicago Town Pizza oven baked and a can of coke.

9/10

Fair points Shah, I am guessing DAVE is busy dismembering or immolating victims.

Chicken and sweetcorn soup, bag of Seabrooks beef crisps, and a cup of Bovril.

7/10

Your stomach must feel like an oil drum after that. And Hallo union happy new years mate how are the mighty junions?

Leftover Christmas Ham in a sandwich, might have been on the turn, I have a feeling I might be painting the walls brown later on.

1/10

HNY2U2!

Junions are all good, the new one spent the whole time with a huge grin on his face and no idea what was going on, bit like myself really. Apart from the grin, of course.

Roast Chicken baguette, Thai Chilli Crisps, Apple Juice and a small bag of Tangfastics.

As long as he loved it and didn't have cause to turn into a raging psychotic 5 years down the line you've done well with him.

That is a good combo. Mayo with the roast chicken?

First agent galtomir galtova and now you. I'm beginning to think you guys don't like me.

The silence is deafening so I hope that it's because you don't like me and not because serial dave has caught up with rick.

I like you Steve.

Thanks onion, you're my only friend on here.

Morning Shah, I live another day...

FIst

Thank F*ck for that. Thought I'd have to break in another infidel to pretend to laugh at my jokes. How's life in the bunker?

Not bad mate though wet and windy, how goes the south?

Same. Dull start to a dull week. I'll be looking forward to joining the gym next week. Exhausted already even though I had an easy day in. Rereading the codex alera series so not entirely a loss. Did you make the mistake of finishing your work early and now sitting around twiddling your thumbs till V-Day?

I have an unfortunately busy week, lots of audit and handover cack, once that is done I can freewheel to the end with any luck.

I am hoping that this place bucks up so I can fill my remaining days with engaging conversations and the search of knowledge. Plus I can steal sean's GOSPEL sex stories for my new place to look cool.

I have not read an actual book for months either, need to sort that out, as my reading list is growing all the time.

Lets use this opportunity to fill the culture cup with serious discussion maybe it'll prompt tino to get his f*cking house in order. Give us a little detail about what you do.

What I do for a living? Basically I look after and negotiate legal contracts/EULA's/SOW's etc with regards to IT specific companies such as Microsoft, Adobe etc for a large scale enterprise

But I also tend to get dragged into quite a few enterprise wide legal contracts regarding resource and equipment that will impact day to day working.... Because reasons...

I feel that this is missing a man sausage joke somewhere...

You'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to deny that man sausage to sean. Even in this worrying absence during a boozy period no willy is safe.

Where is the boy michaels? Maybe he is quitting the cup for the new year?

20 working days left until my holidays. Not that I am counting obviously. Morning.

Good morning.

Dyed in the wool Alky that one. No way he's giving up the sauce.

Morning Tino. What's the damage this morning?

ShahenshahG wrote:Morning Tino. What's the damage this morning?

He was asleep when I left.

lol out loud I have not got the time or the willpower for resolutions, though regular gym goers who complain about the new people generally annoy me.

We didn't complain when they were coming in our pubs over Christmas.

It was unkind of you not invite Sean to those kinds of pubs. Probably having a massive sulk now.

You finally discovered the benefits of unnecessarily administered allergy syrups then?

Morning Tino, wish I was asleep now to be honest

Just keep reading.

I'm off to HK in a couple of weeks, Shah. I'll be around to talk to you in the mornings. And riCKO. And I can spend hours talking to LD. Lucky him.

I'm going to be first every f*cking day that week.

Excellent news for ER in herts. Business trip or escapism?

Business, but it amounts to the same thing.
