*hands over glass* will you be my friend too? Give me the purple pretty things.

(

Pretty purple

sparklies... me want...

Edit: I have no Ribena but I've got 3 flavours of Robinson's Fruit and Barley

Pink grapefruit?

my favourite!

(djmothra, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:41, archived)

Yup!

plus Orange and Summer Fruits.

(

Batsgirl, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:44, archived)

I don't like Ribena...

...but I like those sparkly purple things.

(help! I have too much work and not enough hummus... I feel like a non-playing member of b3ta at the moment!)

Don't...like....Ribena?

I can't live without it!

when I was a kid

we only had ribena at xmas as a special treat, It was too expensive the rest of the time.
FACT.

(

pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:43, archived)

It still is

TOO expensive.
nice though

(djmothra, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:45, archived)

True.

but I've given up smoking and need a substitute.

thankyou

i don't feel quite so poor now. You know what? When my mum was small, her family used to buy mushroom stalks, instead of the whole mushroom - whole mushrooms were for rich people. And that actually is true too.

(

I generally cut to the chase and go for beer.

or wine.

or single malt whisky.

(still got some of that 25yr old Bowmore, Pep... shall I save you a dram?)

chaotic_illuminator proud spacehopperist, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:43, archived)

yes please - now i feel bad about my post below. Didn't mean it :)

(

pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:46, archived)

if you loved us

you'd quit work and b3ta all day, Mr Fairweather friend.
hahahahah! Not really. poor you. Not working now, surely?

(

pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:42, archived)

Finished work at 9pm.

Started at 8am.

Not working now, but have to get up at 5.15 for the first flight down to Heathrow in the morning.

It's a bit insane at the moment.

edit - never a fairweather friend, though! That stings...

(

chaotic_illuminator proud spacehopperist, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:45, archived)

Fucking hell mate

that's rough. Hope it doesn't happen too often...

(

bob dinosaur, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:47, archived)

I try not to start till 9am...

and I try to finish by about 7pm.

But I do that early flight most Thursdays... and have been doing it for over 2 years.

I have a shitload of frequent flyer points on BMI though...

(

chaotic_illuminator proud spacehopperist, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:51, archived)

Do BMI

fly anywhere decent so you can at least get some cheap holidays out of it?

(

bob dinosaur, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:56, archived)

They fly to a lot of European places....

...but they have "partner airlines" that you can redeem points with.

Ms Illuminator and I are going to New Zealand in the summer - I got one return ticket free with my BMI points, which can't be bad. And I still have some left...

Nice one

and, on that note, g'night. Time for this dinosaur to put his head down.

(

bob dinosaur, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 23:02, archived)

blimey.

the worst thing about that is that I'm actually a bit jealous. No one at work at the moment wwould actually notice if I got runover outside the office, got carted away and never came back. Sigh.

and you know we love you.

(

pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:50, archived)

aww... we'd notice if you disappeared!

and of course I do...

Just feeling a bit fragile and thinly spread at the moment...

I'm likely to stay in town next week. Holborn, probably Wed night, so not far from your office... fancy a pint?

(

chaotic_illuminator proud spacehopperist, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:53, archived)

damn -

I can't do any day next week - for some reason I've actually got stuff arranged (as opposed to this week where I've hardly done anything). Bums. Another time tho, definately =)

(

pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 23:00, archived)

I'll hold you to that...

I stay over once a month or so.

(

chaotic_illuminator proud spacehopperist, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 23:06, archived)

ok cool!

just let me know.

(

pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 23:16, archived)

I've been too busy to b3ta

much during the day recently. I'm feeling the withdrawl symptoms.

(

Craymen, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:45, archived)

I didn't think I'd seen you for a while

we were having withdrawl symptoms too.

(symtoms is a weird word to type. Doesn't feel right...)

(

pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:51, archived)

That's 'cause there's a 'p' in it

symptoms

(
