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