Tea? (Part 1)

[Landslide]

Hi Renard!

*Passes tea*

Dr Tinka, that's the one!
Though strictly speaking it's "How to be topp" (as any fule kno... )

 

[Landslide]

Mebbe it's how teabags are produced - the entire world supply started out as just one bag which has since multiplied by binary fission!

 

[tdr1nka]

Wotcha Landslide, Reynard & Speicher!
I'm a bit *ahem* young to remember the HTBT books but having a brother nine years older meant they were around and I read them years ago.

*slurps tea*

Dr Tinka? is that tinka as in 'to tinker', fettle etc. Or tinka as in travelling tradesman?

 

[tdr1nka]

Ahhh I've stumbled upon a bizarre tea based genetic experiment. Are these the building blocks of our universe? I blame global pot warming.

Worst news is that Mrs. tdr1nka now says she found a triple bag yesterday but threw it away because they wouldn't separate in to individual bags!!!!!!

So it's in your bin. Dividing as we speak! Be afraid...

Depends what mood you're in!

I seem to remember "tinker" being used to describe someone mischievous. Also there was Lovejoy's sidekick...

Take your pick!

 

[tdr1nka]

ie; Cheeky tinker!

I can live with that.


*imagines closing scenes of Kubrick's 2001. Dave looks down and over the edge of a monolithic flip top kitchen bin, 'My God, it's full of tea!'. Cue long shot of white room and a knitted monkey floating in the fetal position.*

 

[TheDoctor]

'Open the tea caddy door, Hal!'

'I'm sorry, Dave. I can't brew that...'

 

[tdr1nka]

*Dave's teeeeeeea, Daaaaaaaaaave's tea, give meeeeeeeeeee yoooooooour answeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*

Can you imagine how much you'd have to edit out of that film for a modern audience with an attention span of 5 seconds?

 

[Milo]

Hullo all servers back then.)
Did 50 miles today
Tea?

 

[Landslide]

Aye, cheers miloat.

Good ride? Any highlights?

 

[Milo]

The village drunk sat on a dry stone wall on the road in to village. Shouting BIKE repeatedly was quite amusing.
Great ride.

 

[Landslide]

Sounds like my commute!

 

[wafflycat]

There's situations where heated perfume is quite...stimulating. Anyway, it's only black tea with the lemon built in.

How's you after the exertions of the last few days anyway? BTW, I've just seen the photos of waffley Minors new bike. I may stop flirting with you and go after him instead . That bike is stunning.

The exertions continue. I went out today too. Shorter ride but worked harder as I stayed in a higher gear than normal and specifically did some of the local lumpier bits. Orf owt agane tomorrow.. I now have thighs of granite - just surrounded by a significant layer of blubber

Thinks... since Monday will now have done over 100miles so far this week
