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