I don't really have anything to say
but with the absence of spill your pointless thoughts here and maybe talk about what you're having for lunch a HSH thread I'm going to wibble here.

My eye really hurts as well but as my boss isn't here I'm mainly just pretending to read documents while having my eyes closed. There is a risk I'll fall asleep but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

I was playing Descent (oh yeah who remembers that pile of AWESOME!) till like 1am as well. Maybe I got laser in my eye.

I'm not winking at you either.

In the absence of HSH
I'll join you on the *urgh Monday* front.

My random wibble - when I used to work at Starbucks I worked my way up to an 8 coffees a day habit.

It now appears that I can only drink 1 coffee per day, and if I do it before about 11am, it does NOT agree with me. My tummy goes all rumbly and I get VERY wired. Boosucks.

8 Starbucks coffees
is the equivalent of about 1 nice coffee. So you didn't do yourself any harm.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 18 May 2009, 10:22, Reply)

Yeah,
But I'm now a wussy can't even drink 1 coffee type - what happened to me?????

No it is not!! Their coffee tastes like shite, and they don't understand the concept of a nice lot of foamy head on a cappuccino.

And the only starbucks to get coffee from is on Eldon St, near Liverpool St station. Coz even some Starbuckses are crap.

AoE?
Total war = armies facing each other across the Moravian gap, a la cold war. I'm amusing myself by investigating information asymmetry with mobile army defending against insurgency.

Descent was AWESOME
I remember playing deathmatch games across the NHS network with some guys while I was doing work experience with my Dad.

I whupped them senseless, then challenged them to some Duke Nukem 3D, where I spent the whole time shrinking them and stomping on them.

Tachyon: The Fringe?
