Tea? (Part 2)

[mr Mag00]

*tut* made my own brew, there is some here!

 

[Landslide]

Morning all!

It's got a bit chilly here...
I may dig out a nice long commuting scarf so it can trail behind me as I zoom downhill to work...
(And then stow it in my bag for the appreciably slower trip home... )

 

[wafflycat]

Did someone mention tea?

*offers mug forward to be filled with fresh brew please*

 

[Archie_tect]

Just got a new mug... need to test it's tea enhancing porcelainicity!

 

[mr Mag00]

*hands out hot beverage*

 

[TheDoctor]

Huzza, time for a Tea break!!!
And I face an evening of leafy goodness with barely-concealed glee

Speicher
It's your evil twin. Therefore you must be 100% good

Hummph Rikki, what do you want?

Chocolate cake, or pecan pie?

 

[Chuffy]

You mean that wonderful example of charm & civility, Hugh "The Polar Bear" Rowland. Obnoxious isn't he. He's had his comeuppance already in this new one. It was a joy to behold.

Damn, damn, DAMN! Go on, what happened?

 

[wafflycat]

Damn, damn, DAMN! Go on, what happened?

It was *excellent*

This season they're doing the Dalton Highway in Alaska from Fairbanks up to Prudhoe Bay. It's not flat road. It's ice highway cutting across the mountains. So it's up, down, wind, ice, whiteouts, moose, 500 foot drops, corners.. To be allowed to drive the road, no matter that you've done ice trucking elsewhere or for how long you've been a driver, you have to go through an induction course and drive with an instructor alongside before you are allowed to drive solo.

So along comes Mr Polar Bear in his usual swaggering mode... Mr Polar Bear passes the pre-driving induction bit. Mr Polar Bear resumes swaggering and boasting about he's the best yadda, yadda. Mr Polar Bear now gets to the bit where he has to drive whilst being observed by an instructor. Mr Polar Bear gets in cab, doing his usual shouting, boasting, arrogant stuff and sets off, promptly going far too fast, as per usual. Instructor observing remarks, on more than one occasion, about speed, telling Mr Know-It-All Polar Bear to slow down. This is ignored. Mr KIAPB carries on - comes to a bend and promptly almost loses it by taking the bend too fast. Instructor tells MrKIAPB to stop the truck. Cue puzzled look from MrKIAPB who stops. Then cue bearly concealed fuming, combined with the embarrassment of growing self-realisation that he's just made himself look a twit on international TV as instructor tells him to get out of the driving seat and get in the passenger seat for the rest of the trip.

It was a delicious moment.

 

[TheDoctor]

Never watched this, although I may have to start...

 

[wafflycat]

History Channel..

 

[TheDoctor]

Is that Channel no. 5?

[/coat, door, taxi]

 

[Landslide]

...It was a delicious moment.

Ha!

 

[tdr1nka]

So when asked what she wears in bed, Waffles replies, 'nothing but History Chanel No.5'?

This is one mixed up world.

Leafy goodness expectation meter is almost at it's highest reading! I topped it up with a brew in the company of Ianrauk yesterday! Very nice.

Needless to say the rain meter is looking like showers in 'The Smoke' for the evening.

For those who haven't a clue what I'm on about, I'm sorry, I have a code.
