h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

 A man turned up in a van this morning an unloaded a new "Drinks Machine". It looks very 50's retro with a huge clear water bottle on the top. This now means that I can have coffee on tap all day, and whats more, it's on the first floor within spitting distance from my chair!. Of course this close proximity to my station will also have a down side. The position is likly to cause a build-up of bods trying to extract drinks, which will intern distract my concentration, which will inturn mean that less work will be produced. Ho Hum... my cup is empty!!
 

You need to watch these things. One day you'll get home and think "Why should I have to suffer a mild chlorine taste and uncomfortable warmth when drinking from the tap? At work I have chilled, beautiful, morally superior water and by the throat of Ottewell I shall have it at home, too!" and spend all your money on posh water from the shop. Maybe your bosses watch too many US sitcom things based in offices where a great deal of work for the good of mankind is performed by people with their sleeves rolled up relaxing and sharing a cup of water by the cooler. My father recently had US-style water installed in his workplace and immediately began resurrecting the little water carboniser cylinder-thing that has lain dormant 'neath his sink for a good ten years. Soon the water companies will use this as an excuse to not bother fixing all their leaks. Be wary.

Thanks for the warning shot of your wisdom!
Our water comes from the foot-hills of the Himalayans, filtered by grandfather time and young misty maideds pouring it through the cups of their bras!...

No offence intened, yours with anticipation, Sid

Filtered by Grandfather Time's kidneys? Old people's kidneys are generally knackered, so I doubt that does much good. Essentially you'll be drinking slightly diluted maiden-sweat. If this does anything, it won't make you work more productively. Pheremones, you know. Nice images, though.

I was once told that "image was everthing"...., and it certainly works for me!

How about.... *thinks for a while*

National flags shouldn't be made up of the colours of the flags of the countries subjugated to be included in the country but should be the maidens of the country rinsing water through the bras of their national costume. It'd do wonders for tourism.

Young, firm breasts being gently cupped in a training bras, as the misty maiden wash there long flowing locks in the tumbling waters from waterfalls cascading into fresh water lakes at the foot of a tropical rain forest... Sounds like a shampoo advert!

Sid this is outrageous !!!

I'm a Gemini....

Well in that case it is totally acceptable - you may continue

I have every intention!!

Want to join in!!

what with being a Gemini - could be difficult my birthday is in February!

Happy belated Birhaday!

Im off home now, where I will ponder on the days events...

See ya tomorrow....

Mmmmmm..., 26 years old, I'm a hunter gatherer!

you are a crafty fox that's what!

Tut Tut, I would never embarrass you.

that was embedded half way down a conversation with Smiley - how did you find that?

Byeeeeee!

It is like trying to catch a particularly slippery trout - oh Sid come back here!

You calling me a Trout!

a brown trout - ie very rare and to be conserved, loved and nurtured at all costs!
