I'm out of tonic water!
How can I cope with such an emergency?

I can't handle with the rapidly approaching Monday sober!

I'm out of paint.
Why can't I buy paint on a Sunday evening? Fucking stupid trading hours. I'll swap you tonic for paint.

I always run out of paint when the shops are closed
what colour do you need?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 19:36, Reply)

White
matt white emulsion for the walls and white satin for the woodwork. If I go to B&Q tomorrow though I might be tempted by the garish, seductive colours on display and my hall may end up some bold, whorish shade of red.

That'll match the bold whorish shade of red on my new house's floor
The bedroom carpet to be precise. Your whorish walls and my whorish carpet should meet up at some point.

do they have to pay each other,
or would there be some kind of mates' rates?

I'm guessing that it would be a "for profit" venture
With the resulting DVD cluttering up many a 15 year old lad's bedroom.

Can't help you there, I only have magnolia, green, purple, pink, red and magenta
I vote red for the hallway.

Trouble is,
I have a red wall in the kitchen, in the bathroom, and in the stove alcove.

I am currently tempted by grey: Quartz Flint 2, which seems a geologically redundant name for a paint.

The Dulux paint page is a bizarrely interesting way to spend time online.

I once had an awesome nail varnish called Anthraxite
It was slate coloured and I loved it dearly until I spilt it over my GCSE certificates.

When I was
deciding on colours for the front room I couldn't have the colour I really wanted as I would have had to buy something called 'expresso'.

Do you think it's right to phone customer service and shout "it's eSpresso you shits"?

I had that problem last year.
And I did say something.
(Psyche finishes work at the end of June! Yay!!!, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 20:02, Reply)

And what did they say?
Or did they just look at you funny?
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 28 Jun 2009, 20:03, Reply)

The "why would you give a shit" glare was duly given

In fairness
any person who is 'customer facing' can do naff all about anything like that.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 28 Jun 2009, 20:11, Reply)

Drink it neat or mix it with whatever else you have?

OH MY GOD!!!
Get some ginger beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gin Ginger Beer is the BESTEST. And can be sung along to the tune of Chim-chiminee from Mary Poppins as follows:-

Gin ginger beer, gin ginger beer, gin gingeree,
When you've had a few you will be tipsy
Gin ginger beer, gin ginger beer, gin gingeroo,
And then you'll feel happy and you won't get flu.

(Or rhymes to that effect)

Nooooooooooo, it'll turn white and manky
Just a thought, maybe that's what happened to Michael Jackson
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 19:55, Reply)

nope
just scoffed double quick.

Also a Director, senior lab technician, forest manager and dumb old me couldn't work out what the shape is of the box a toblerone comes in!

(have since googled, its a pentahedron)

I guess
this is the reason they sell tonic water in such small bottles.

If you get through an entire bottle before 7:30 then it's Sainsbury's way of telling you that you've had too much to drink.

I have tonic but no gin. But I do have rum.
So instead I made myself a homegrown mint mojito. Extra ice. Managed to hit my thumb when I was crushing the ice but it was worth it. I'll probably live.

Edit: Just checked the forecast: 29 degrees tomorrow here. Must stock up on limes.
