Lemsip - any flavour
I bloody hate it. It makes my beer taste all lemony, or blackcurranty or orange and winter fruity. What's your favourite flavour?

ALT Q: I am facing redundancy. Will you give me a job and if so what as?

You're not supposed to put it in beer.
Problem solved.

Imagine being paid beer to be with a dog eh Jeff? That'd be your dreams come true!

Internet Dog Fucker,
I can't think of anyone better qualified.

Can you?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 17:04, Reply)

You might entertain the dog, but, in doing so, make a mess in the room.
50% fail Jeff, sorry.
(Cave Duck, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 17:07, Reply)

I'll clean up after myself.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 17:09, Reply)

Even the fishpaste?

(Cave Duck, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 17:20, Reply)

Especially the fishpaste.
If I only get paid in beer, I'll need something to eat.

I'm sorry, are you asking me what my favourite flavour of Lemsip is?

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 17:01, Reply)

Are you suggesting this isn't the best question you've ever been asked Noel?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 20 Oct 2010, 17:04, Reply)

I may be implicating that, yes.
If I must answer, I like my Lemsips flavoured with disappointment and sexual regret.

Whilst you may be implying it, you almost certainly are not implicating it.

Because I can.

I used the wrong word. It was a mistake.
Now how about you get off your fucking high horse and stop being a pretentious bell-end because, christ, you can be droll sometimes and it pains me you can be amusing and so frustratingly irritating at the same time.

I don't recall any Calpol-induced hallucinations
Though it might have explained my peculiarly overactive imagination as a youngster...

It was a Drugs-QOTW-related lie. Entertaining.
Overactive imaginations are more trouble than they're worth, especially with hallucinations. Gave me a right fear of wardrobes they did.

My dad started a company taking screen shots for computer game magazines
so we had, variously, Acorn, Dragon, BBC, early IMB-AT PCs, Spectrum 48k, Amstrads, loads of stuff. The mags used to send us tapes and discs of games to play where the programmers had given invulnerability, infinite lives etc so I used to spend hours running around these games while my dad would take screen dumps with custom hardware one of the employees mocked up to the computers. I'm gonna be 35 in a few weeks. Edit: First was a ZX-80 in 1981.

having Calpol when I had the 'flu. I had hallucinations then, but I think that was the 'flu, not the Calpol.

Maybe that's just what they want me to think.

I negotiated redundency from my prior fulltime job. Best. Thing. Ever.
Walked out with six months pay and started writing for them the next day as a freelancer.

Half a year of working occasionally, sending invoices, completing old computer games and mid-morning coffees with fellow freelancers ensued.

I tell you, it was like the promised land.
