It's not 'Send', it's the 'Culture Cup', stupid.

Not sure, depends on whether the client opted for the basic park in the back option or stumped up a bit more for the cuddling option as well.

I have been to both Reykjavik and Zurich.

Me too apart from Zurich.

Gutentag Notcherinos

Morning, Shah.

And congratulations to Julius on his excellent weekend michaelsing.

My phone now prompts me with "michaelsing" when I type in "mic".

Morning Galterino

All good in the hackers hood?

All splendid thanks Shah.

And how are things in the beautiful and historical village of Luton?

Morning all.

Morning, Rick. Good to see that the shame of using the phrase 'client-facing' hasn't driven you away from the cup forever.

Morning all,

Yes indeed, Galted.
I supose rick could have used "front ended a client" but that might have sounded too confrontational.

Nah, I have no shame Galts, I work in Law for the sake of f**k.

I have been out of the office, so just getting back in now.

Everyone worrying about "Wannacry" today, which is nice. Morning TLD.

Hi ricko!

Yeah... I don't Wannacry.
We are all such vulnerable creatures but then again it seems they're targeting some bigger fish.

What's Wannacry?

Some malicious cyber ransomware virus.... apparently.

We are obviously too small to succeed in becoming one of their victims.

Which is good to know.

rick_dagless wrote:Nah, I have no shame Galts, I work in Law for the sake of f**k.

Very good and quotable post-opening.

I may use it the next time I'm mate-facing although I'd have to change the bit about law.

Oh - is that what's it's called?
It's useless, media-friendly, witless names like that that make me wanna cry.

We're all cyber-friend facing to the max on here today.

I've given up on shame and guilt. Life is too short.

Just listen to Trump. I he can do and say one thing and then deny it a day or two later... well then we have the same option if forced into a corner.

Just remember the poker face when you are subject facing someone... and the rodent snarl.

Not quote sure why the NHS is getting it in the neck over this, there are probably more substantial and riskier victims out there.

Feel free to quote away Galts!

Cheers, Rick. I shall be sure to reveal the source of my quote as I fear the legal profession.

Morning P*nanis

Morning Shah, how is the beautiful garden town of Luton?

Morning all.
Will you be spending time with clients today rick?

Good morning all this evening.

They might be on gardening leave in Luton, Julius.

Having a microdermabrasion session on the firm. You know... after all that legal eagle facing.

Today I will be mainly facing Oracle Jules, who are definitely not a client.

Morning both.

We do get free massages apparently TLD, but you have to be quick off the mark to get there, which I have never managed.

Oracle the database software giants rick?
Ask them why their 'restore and recovery' procedure is so much more complicated than SQL Server.

Sounds like a great perk, rick.
It wouldn't hurt to get some body parts worked on at the company's expense. Go for it... in your own special discreet way.

I left a few tiny crumbs of birdseed for the yank on the election thread. Let's see if he nibbles...

I will prioritise that question, Jules, and report back with an answer.

It does sound great in principle, TLD, but I have a sneaky feeling that the PA's rotate it between themselves.

I am more interested in the new Pasty shop, which has opened up the road from here.

Do you enjoy rubbing pasties in your face, rick? Is that good for the pores?

Custard I can understand... but pasty?

Ha ha... no... I can see the appeal. You're on a great wicket from the sound of things.

Morning Lads, All good in the hoods?

By the way... someone pie-faced a CEO live on camera the other day.
The Qantas boss. Not much of a fan of him at all. He's going to sue the pie-facer "on principle".
What a dirk. Just cop it Irish fella!

Hi Shah. All good here. No dogs barking at the minute.

It depends, If that pie wasn't cooked properly I would have punched him in the face repeatedly, then stamped on his twitching corpse.

Just did some research. It was a lemon meringue. Soft as.

Loved your fascist comment on the other thread Shah... that went down well!

Does the new pasty shop also sell buns and cakes?

I don't believe so, Jules.

I will investigate and let you know.

Hmm a lemon meringue. For that I would only bum his wife once while he was watching. The rest of the time the chair he was tied to could face the other way.

It was getting too touchy feely so I thought I'd end it. How's the down under treating you

Lemon meringue pie is my favourite type of pie.

Good. In fact really good. Perfect weather of late but a bit of a downpour expected heading into the weekend.

Had bloody car troubles again. The plus side was a pleasant trip into town, over the bridge... and a short period of loitering under the northern approach near where my mechanic has his garage.

Is it becoming more springlike where you are? I see it's getting hotter on the continent.

Cornish pasty from the newly opened pasty shop, Dr Pepper - 9.5/10

Actual recognisable meat, veg that was cooked right, and the gravy was lovely.  The pastry was light and tasty as well, loses half a mark because the drink was slightly warm, and lack of clunge serving.

Yes

Scorcher in UK terms today, LD.

22 degrees and the sun is visible, might get the white Speedo out later.
