[00:00] <penguin42> so, this is xmas
[00:00] <daftykins> less and less each year i find!
[00:19] <zxmpi> you need to stuff a selection box into a crimbo stocking along with a bunch of cheap junk to feel it
[00:22] <zxmpi> if you're not wondering if the curlywurlys are getting smaller every year, is it even crimbo?
[00:24] <daftykins> very true
[00:24] <daftykins> although toblerone is of #1 importance
[00:24] <daftykins> just imagine of jaffa cakes suddenly shrank in diameter though :(
[00:25] <daftykins> *if
[00:25] <zxmpi> i can imagine the riots alright :-P
[00:26] <zxmpi> the best chance to get larry the cat running the country
[00:28] <zxmpi> of course you can be a real rebel :-) https://www.tastemade.co.uk/videos/giant-jaffa-cake/
[00:32] <davef> Last chance, boarding in 1hr
[00:32] <davef> zxmpi: Curley werleys are getting smaller. 
[00:34]  * zxmpi emails scotland yard that the jaffa cake bandit is landing soon
[00:37] <daftykins> :O that big jaffa
[00:40] <penguin42> hang on while they update the facial rec systems to detect people eating jaffa cakes
[00:42] <zxmpi> you can tell your doc that you  bring 1 jaffa cake for lunch and be honest :)
[00:43] <zxmpi> suprised no manufacturer sells them tbh. even one 4-6" would sell well i'd say
[00:46] <penguin42> yeh I've seen individual ~2x size bourbon creams and jammy dodgers for sale in coffee shops etc
[00:47] <daftykins> ooh
[00:47] <zxmpi> giant sausage rolls are sold everywhere
[01:33] <zxmpi> "your computer is so old, it doesn't have a UART, it has a THOUART" -seen on mastodon
[01:40] <daftykins> xD
[03:24] <zxmpi> tomorrow all the unsold selection boxes will be on sale so i shall get my curlywurly :-P
[03:25] <daftykins> ooh my
[03:25] <daftykins> supermarkets won't even be open here i reckon
[03:40] <zxmpi> half the places will be open for a few hours on st. stephens day. in my first job i had to work 3 hours on crimbo day in a corner shop.
[03:40] <daftykins> D:
[03:40] <zxmpi> we sold a lot of ciggies, matches, bread, milk, eggs and batteries. all the batteries. every battery in the shop
[03:44] <daftykins> figures :) lack o' planning
[03:47] <zxmpi> no one thinks to get batteries
[03:49] <daftykins> these days you have to fire up the gadgets, charge and download updates
[03:50] <zxmpi> don't worry sony and ms will both crash update servers for all the shiny new consoles
[03:50] <daftykins> :D
[03:51] <zxmpi> in my day it was finding a plug i could steal and put on my speccy :-)
[04:05] <daftykins> best hit the hay, got lunch to attend tomorrow at the olds
