Brit Dope Winter 2003

Sorry I’ve missed out on this morning’s witty banter; I’ve been stuck in a dim, airless room auditing immigration files.

Do you guys have the U.S. sitcom Drew Carey? Well, in case you don’t: it takes place in Cleveland, and the characters come up with a brilliant idea: a coffee-flavored, caffeinated beer. (It’s called “Buzz Beer.”) Then the big beer companies steal their idea. Much hilarity ensues.

Amazingly enough, the anotated Pratchett files seem to have nothing to say about the name “Angua”

That’s ok.

:slight_smile:

It reminds me of a couple of userfriendly comics about a new cola:

What’s in it?
Caffeine
And?
“And”? There is no ‘and’. It’s caffeine.

[cola on desk]
Damn! I just rewrote the entire linux kernel.
You? When did you learn to code?
Today!

I think that’s a good thing. Googling it seems to come up with it being a Celtic name meaning “posessing great strength”. My real name is Arabic for “leader” or “vanguard” :smiley:

WANT!!! :smiley:

How about a beer flavoured caffeinated beer instead? That sounds merely like Irish Coffee or similar. :slight_smile:

What? No, I’m not always at the computer. I’m just avoiding some maths atm.

‘Leader’ as in ‘going first’ or ‘leader’ as in ‘behind a big rock, wearing the only really arrow-proof helmet’?:smiley:

BTW, what is your name?

Hmmm… At least I have a believeable excuse!! :slight_smile:

The former. Obviously. :slight_smile:

See my webpage :slight_smile:

Christ - and I get accused of flirting with her! :wink:

But garius, dear, you do! :wink:

Even if you’re not the only one who does.

welcome back to the shade/angua weblog flirt party thread.

on a different note, should i go out drinking tonight? i’m skint, but i can credit card it. i’m in a quandary…

breathes deeply in an attempt not to say something nasty that I’ll regret.

I’ve given up my evil ways, it’s garius’s and angua’s party now :slight_smile: Anyway, we were talking about WATs.

Do you know when you’ll be able to pay it off? How about having a couple of drinks at home and then enjoy a social evening with a minumum of drinking? A couple of my friends get an almost-free evening that way, though it relies on other people drinking to get you into pubs :slight_smile:

He’s being sensible! Stone Him! :wink:

Go out and have a few - thats what plastic is for. Just don’t hit the card too much.

And don’t get blatted and try and stick it in the fruit machine.

Did he mention the “J” word??!!! :wink:

Better idea - stone the one that caused Shade to be sensible in the first place! Rooting out primary cause and all that! :slight_smile:

It was a question! How do you know I wasn’t going to follow up with “Best drink it while it’s there, then?”

Now who’s being sensible?

Stone her!

<I will not be out-geeked>What if multiple people contributed to the cause? They might outnumber you.</>

whats the ‘J’ word?

fuck it, i’m off out. 2 weeks to get paid and no money. sheeit.

oh, and angua, say what you want. i wont be offended. nor do i bear grudges. especially to people with home baked goods.

It’s a Monty Python reference: http://www.frost.org/~robl/stoning.htm

Elder: You have been found guilty by the elders of the town of uttering the name of our lord, and so as a BLASPHEMER…
Crowd: Ooooh.
Elder: …you are to be stoned to death.
Mathias: Look. I’d had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was ‘That piece of hallibut was good enough for Jehovah’.
Crowd: Oooooooh!
Elder: BLASPHEMY!!! He said it again

gotcha. you may now carry on talking about summat & nowt with angua and garius. i may return later. thank you.

I’ve been banned from making Monty P references by Garigirl - sorry. Its part of her plan to de-geek me. She also won’t let me dye my hair blue or pink anymore. :frowning:

<sub>ni!</sub>
