Today is quiet here.
― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:17 (eighteen years ago)
Ssh,quiet. We're trying to hear what the crickets have to say.

― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:23 (eighteen years ago)
So how are you doing, Mark?
― nathalie, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:23 (eighteen years ago)
Not too bad, as they say. Been working away from home all week, but am getting home at a reasonable hour so family reunion at five thirty or so!
― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:25 (eighteen years ago)
Hurrah! So why did you have to be working away from home? You otherwise work at home? I am pampered: our house is just across the street. No traffic jams or having to sit in a train listening to endless chitchat.
― nathalie, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:28 (eighteen years ago)
Noh, normal working place is within 4 miles. Not 270.
― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:30 (eighteen years ago)
Ek. So you're staying in a hotel?
― nathalie, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:35 (eighteen years ago)
yeah. Nice, but.
― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:38 (eighteen years ago)
There's a smell in my office, it smells like food and sometimes it's kind of nice, but I don't know if it is food and I don't know if I should be enjoying the smell of it. In fact now I feel a little sick.
― *rumpie*, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:42 (eighteen years ago)
ha, last night they were irrigating (or something) the fields next door. It didn't smell muck like food, put it that way!
― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:45 (eighteen years ago)
much like food I mean. mind you...
I'm also a bit sick. Hormones probably. Ever since being pregnant, I have been smelling poop. :-(
Mark, how many stars is the hotel? Can you take from the room bar (or whatever you call it)?
― nathalie, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:46 (eighteen years ago)
DO SOME WORK.
― Matt DC, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:47 (eighteen years ago)
Work? Are you mad! I can't anymore. Don't have the energy. I wish I could just lie on a bed but I keep the shop open and sit behind the comp posting away.
― nathalie, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:48 (eighteen years ago)
oh, it's four star, no room bar (but then, every room bar is a rip-off, oi oi oi)
Been nicking the Aerochoc drink sachets for the kids though.
― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:51 (eighteen years ago)
I heard a rumour that farmers are going to start spraying their fields with human excrement. I hope it stays a rumour.
― *rumpie*, Friday, 14 September 2007 09:57 (eighteen years ago)
Can't be any worse than cow shit, right?
I've been trying to finish my first Harry Potter book (first book). It's okay. So what are you guys reading?
― nathalie, Friday, 14 September 2007 10:00 (eighteen years ago)
Just finished "The Story of Crass", excellent book!
― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 10:02 (eighteen years ago)
cows are herbivores, therefore their shit is about 50000 times more acceptable (and bacteria-free) than the omnivorous human variety.
― Just got offed, Friday, 14 September 2007 10:03 (eighteen years ago)
So they can use shit dumped by vegans?
Story of Crass? Who's the author?
― nathalie, Friday, 14 September 2007 10:03 (eighteen years ago)
Human poo is excellent for the soil and a wonderfully efficient way of fertilising it.

Not my poo it wouldn't. end of that.
― Mark G, Friday, 14 September 2007 10:13 (eighteen years ago)
Yuk.
I'm reading The Granta Book of Travel. Nice bite sized tales, great for my lunch hour.
― *rumpie*, Friday, 14 September 2007 10:27 (eighteen years ago)
I'm really hungover. It seems that I only ever come on Ilx to go 'hai guys, I'm really hungover' these days. Even a picture of that Crass book is making my headache worse.

It's really quiet...
― *rumpie*, Friday, 14 September 2007 12:28 (eighteen years ago)
Why is it so quiet?
― Jarlrmai, Friday, 14 September 2007 12:51 (eighteen years ago)
It's because people aren't posting much.
― StanM, Friday, 14 September 2007 12:52 (eighteen years ago)
Oh, ta.
― Jarlrmai, Friday, 14 September 2007 12:53 (eighteen years ago)
:-)
(don't know, maybe it's the days getting shorter syndrome and everyone'll post once it's dark tonight?)
― StanM, Friday, 14 September 2007 12:58 (eighteen years ago)
I'll be drunk by then. I've never posted drunk before (I don't think)
I make little enough sense sober.
― *rumpie*, Friday, 14 September 2007 13:33 (eighteen years ago)
hooray! I was going to send one to you, glad I did it. If you like it maybe I'll send you some later ones. I'm still on my second re-read of number 7.
Don't be quiet today. I'm alone in the office. :(
― Ms Misery, Friday, 14 September 2007 13:42 (eighteen years ago)
Sam, it's hardly complex stuff - what on earth makes you want to re-read it? It's fun the first time but the book is all plot and fluff, so once you know what happens there's almost nothing left to encourage you back (until, I'll admit, the books have become a distant memory, but that can't be the case here).
― Mark C, Friday, 14 September 2007 13:51 (eighteen years ago)
t's hardly complex stuff - what on earth makes you want to re-read it?
I haven't finished the re-read because I'm stuck in that stupid protracted camping trip. I raced through it in two days so now want to read it again more slowly, to get a better grasp on my final opinion. Currently it's propping up my bedside lamp.

I'm all in favour of quiet at the mo.
― Matt, Monday, 17 September 2007 11:31 (eighteen years ago)
I need distractions, work is boring today. I can't be bothered talking to my colleagues. Not their fault, I just can't be bothered following up attempts at conversation.
"Nice weekend?"
"Yeah"
"....."
― *rumpie*, Monday, 17 September 2007 11:37 (eighteen years ago)
Sam, no need! I already ordered the second book of HP. I quite like it. It's not earthshattering (for me anyway) but very entertaining.
I'm now reading an analysis of Xuxa.

They get better as you go. The first one (I think) is the most kiddie of them.

salt + caramel = an amazing flavour combination
― just sayin, Thursday, 24 December 2009 13:42 (sixteen years ago)
Well, I googled and there's a recipe for shrimp poblano so maybe monkfish would work? However there is also a recipe for mole poblano made with NUTELLA so I'm going back to stage three and four of stuffing production before I fwow up.
