...15-30...

Aaahh...

that was a good lunch!

Now for some coffee, please!

*nothing happens*

IIEM, give me some coffee!

*IIEM refuses, due to abusive language*

I'm sorry!
Could I have a cup of coffee please?

Thank you!

I'm on a different time zone to you cos i'm having 'levenses

*to IIEM* Tea and...mmm...how about Hobnobs?

*sits down and starts dunking*

Sorry, but I didn't quite get that.
"'levenses"?

I don't speak english daily, so my understanding of non-standard words/phrases is rather limited

*BS finally finds time in the w*** schedule to pick up a late cc((~))*

Double espresso, please IIEM.

*Takes cc((~)) and goes to sit down with a cigarette.*

Morning/Afternoon/Evening all .

elevenses = 11 o'clock am. A traditional time for tea and biscuits.

*dunks biscuit a bit too long and stares in disbeleif as a large part breaks off in the C(_) and sinks to the bottom*

Yo Blue, hows it hanging?

*stands on chair and does bad Bill & Ted impression*

Gmorning y'all!
Snata, he meant "elevenses". I thought I knew what I meant until I opened my mouth to speak. It's a snack time. Or else it's a light brunch, or an early lunch, or a pre-lunch drink.

Help!

Please continue to use the IIEM for the moment -- in less than 2 hours I have a clutch of workmen arriving to clean the air ducts and vents, a job which will take most of the day. I'll be back online as soon as they get under way and don't need me.

See you later.

Hi & Bye Lil

Hanging cool now, superdreamer, hanging cool. A bit hectic earlier but there you go .

'spose you could call it brunch. It's at the right time. But 'levenses is best as you get tea & Hobnobs...mmm'licious

I Know the feeling. I actually did some w*** this morning and my boss is here now must pretend to work. will chat later and show you my impression of a bad J.Satriana Apeggio lick.

'dios

Good morning! *stretch*

IIEM, a double dark roast, please-thank you!

*ox takes her double and the sports section from a newspaper on the counter to a chair near the door*

Ugh....

Meetings are boring!!

Well, it's over now, so could I have a cup of coffee to go with my cigarette, please?

*gets styrofoam cup from IIEM containing something that almost, but not quite, tastes completely different than coffee*

*sip*

Oh well...

Did I tell you I asked the IIEM for ristrtto and got risotto instead...I mean how are you supposed to dunk biccys in a rice dish?

*runs in having read the backlog, updated the links, posted this bookmark. Changes the filters on the IIEM, realises he now has no time left Orders a cappucino 'to-go'. All is well with the IIEM again. Waves apologetically to all and runs out again, coffee in hand, mumbling about connection costs*

IIEM, could I have a chocolate steamer please?

[flood of steam from IIEM and cup appears]

Thank you.

*sits down with a very boring long winded mathematical paper and tries to understand how the first equation "simply" gets to the second one*

*Feels Sympathy with Cidhis*

*also feels sympathy with Cidhis*

IIEM, lemon tea, please.

*tries to ignore queue in computer room*

*joins Joanna and Superdreamer in sympathy for Cidhis*

Another cup of coffee please, IIEM?

Qeues exist to be ignored!

*Cidhis appreciates sympathy and wonders aloud*
what on Earth does "obviously" mean when referring to rearranging a set of non linear partial differential equations
*shuts up at laughter from real life office sharers*
*whispers*
especially when this paper was written by my boss's PhD supervisor

IIEM, could i have an aspirin and a glass of water please?

Thank you
