Morning Phil.

Sorry, can you sit down and lift your feet up if you're staying in here to drink tea. I need to hoover for the Hootenanny.

Anyone got time to cube a container load of pineapple? I thought I'd ordered chunks, but they've arrived whole....

No problem, I can quickly put together a 10 ton press, How big a cube do you want?

Morining .............. Come on potsy get out of your pit and get out

Calm down Phil, some of us have just woken up.

 

[Arch]

No problem, I can quickly put together a 10 ton press, How big a cube do you want?

oooh. I think 26.27mm will do, give or take 0.01mm.

Right, well, if you're doing that, I'll start something else. Better check my list:

Whittle cocktail sticks.
Cut out doillies.
Line sausage rolls up on baking trays ready to bake.
Ice cakes.
Mix punch in laboratory grade glass bowls.
Decant industrial size dip portions into little bowls
Cut crudites.

Ah, NT, can you adapt your press to cut carrot sticks too?

 

[Night Train]

oooh. I think 26.27mm will do, give or take 0.01mm.

Oh, I thought you wanted the pineapple in one big cube.

You mean diced by any chance?

 

[Arch]

<sigh>

Yes, I mean diced.

Look, it's early.

Ok, it's half eleven, but it's before lunch!

I'm not sure one giant pineapple cube will work, unless I reconstitute the cheese I've already cut up... Still, it would save on the whittling, making one giant cocktail stick...

 

[coffeejo]

I overslept and missed the last group ride of the year so stayed in bed until well past midday

Shall be going to village at some point this afternoon to get milk. Do we need anything else? A plate the size of Sussex to host NT's pineapple sculpture, perhaps?

 

[Arch]

Yes, thanks a huge plate would be good. Will you be able to get it in your shopping basket?

Now, what to put in the dainty little sandwiches. Eggmayo, ham, cheese of course, but any other requests?

 

[coffeejo]

Turkey?

I thought I could put the plate on a skateboard and tow it behind me.

 

[Night Train]

I've had a headache, slowly feeling better now.
Got

 

[Arch]

Funnily, there's no turkey leftover. We had a breast joint just the right size for the family...

Pringles! I've forgotton to get Pringles!

<rings up Emergency Dial-a-Pringle service>

Hello? Can you send some Pringles? How Many? How many have you got? Yes, send them all, please.

<click>

How many IS a gazillion?

 

[Arch]

I've had a headache, slowly feeling better now.
Got

I hope you feel better soon. After all, you're DJ tonight! I imagine a disco run by a DJ with a headache might be... subdued.

 

[coffeejo]

How many IS a gazillion?

Enough for me

 

[Night Train]

I might just put on a compilation album and then retire to the shed....
