* penguin42 comes to the conclusion Evri have just stopped delivering here | 01:35 | |
* zxmpi breaks out the last of the crimbo jaffa cakes | 12:44 | |
daftykins | :O | 12:45 |
---|---|---|
daftykins | they will lay down their lives for a worthy sacrifice | 12:46 |
zxmpi | now pondering whether supervalu, tescos, aldi or lidl shall win the bid to replace them | 13:01 |
daftykins | hmm sounds like you need penguin42's price tracking to extend its' coverage to Ireland! :D | 13:03 |
penguin42 | I dunno, perhaps zxmpi needs wholesale levels | 13:03 |
daftykins | could be, he might begin to act as international broker to davef | 13:04 |
daftykins | lots of money to be made there | 13:04 |
zxmpi | ::listens to lawyer whispering in my ear:: there's no jaffa smuggling opertation here | 13:05 |
zxmpi | and i'll airdrop a tonne of jaffa cakes on the person who keeps making these acqusations if i ever find them | 13:08 |
daftykins | death by jaffa-airdrop! | 13:10 |
zxmpi | do it enough times and davef will be at the scene of all the crimes and get blamed :-P | 13:11 |
davef | 🤨 | 13:17 |
daftykins | *ahem* alleged crimes | 13:18 |
daftykins | ooh a bit of rain for a change | 13:18 |
daftykins | but still below average they say! http://water.gg/waterstoragegraph | 13:19 |
zxmpi | ireland has caught up on the rainfall average after a dry spell | 13:20 |
daftykins | just noticed my water co. doesn't do TLS, shocking! | 13:23 |
daftykins | and my electric co. deleted their non-www A record, not the first time either o0 | 13:25 |
zxmpi | the internet is a series of tubes and they know their tubes :-P | 13:26 |
daftykins | i like the animated characters on the Guernsey Water vans, featuring for example "Fiona Fatberg" | 13:50 |
zxmpi | sounds like a fun bunch, do they have timothy typhus? :-P | 14:08 |
daftykins | haha, i will have to check! | 14:10 |
zxmpi | and of courseand they should have a tribute to the birmingham lion :-P https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-39799098 | 14:14 |
daftykins | wowzer | 14:16 |
zxmpi | just so you remember the chance of been mauled to death on the toilet by a lion is low but never 0 :-) | 14:20 |
daftykins | if you'd have told me that in the pub without evidence, i'd have thought you were... Lion | 14:22 |
zxmpi | it's the tooth | 14:25 |
daftykins | :D | 14:27 |
davef | So when can I expect the first airdrop? | 15:01 |
zxmpi | arranging a lease on santas sleigh now it's finished it's yearly run | 15:03 |
daftykins | my advice, don't kick the tires | 15:04 |
davef | We want to be sure that the airdrop will function as expected for the next run. Therefore we must perform a number of dry runs with actual product so we can test and to make sure it drops without a hitch on the day. | 15:07 |
zxmpi | that's easy, just use the unused coal still in the sleigh for a strafing run | 15:08 |
daftykins | sign me up for an early short-haul test run, i will be sure to verify the product | 15:08 |
davef | No, it has to be actual product. Real jaffa cakes. The parachute must be properly calibrated. | 15:09 |
daftykins | i concur | 15:09 |
zxmpi | i never mentioned parachutes... | 15:10 |
daftykins | you're going to just let those poor jaffas fall to their deaths? D: | 15:11 |
zxmpi | i was aiming for there to be something soft on the ground to break their fall | 15:11 |
daftykins | oh yeah like a Brit expat | 15:12 |
zxmpi | can you think of anything softer? :-P | 15:12 |
daftykins | hmm... | 15:14 |
davef | https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/T9utEa0I/WaitWhatSomethingsNotRightGIF.gif | 15:16 |
zxmpi | you could use the inherent aerodynamicness of jaffa cakes to make a jaffa launching cannon... | 15:27 |
penguin42 | they'd make good flying suacers | 15:28 |
zxmpi | discs of dooooom | 15:28 |
penguin42 | transmitting beams of orange power | 15:29 |
zxmpi | i was thinking kinetic shrapnel but ok... | 15:50 |
zxmpi | jaffa cake stash at 50% | 21:49 |
daftykins | at least those Dublin orphans are getting a good education in the phases of the moon | 21:50 |
zxmpi | even the poorest orphan in ireland has access to jaffa cakes. we are a civilised land... | 21:58 |
