# I don't like Ribena...
...but I like those sparkly purple things.

(help! I have too much work and not enough hummus... I feel like a non-playing member of b3ta at the moment!)

# when I was a kid
we only had ribena at xmas as a special treat, It was too expensive the rest of the time.
FACT.

# It still is
TOO expensive.
nice though
(djmothra, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:45, archived)
# True.
but I've given up smoking and need a substitute.

# thankyou
i don't feel quite so poor now. You know what? When my mum was small, her family used to buy mushroom stalks, instead of the whole mushroom - whole mushrooms were for rich people. And that actually is true too.

# I generally cut to the chase and go for beer.
or wine.

or single malt whisky.

(still got some of that 25yr old Bowmore, Pep... shall I save you a dram?)

# if you loved us
you'd quit work and b3ta all day, Mr Fairweather friend.
hahahahah! Not really. poor you. Not working now, surely?
(I helped save b3ta! pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:42, archived)
# Finished work at 9pm.
Started at 8am.

Not working now, but have to get up at 5.15 for the first flight down to Heathrow in the morning.

It's a bit insane at the moment.

edit - never a fairweather friend, though! That stings...

# Fucking hell mate
that's rough. Hope it doesn't happen too often...
(I helped save b3ta! bob dinosaur, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:47, archived)
# I try not to start till 9am...
and I try to finish by about 7pm.

But I do that early flight most Thursdays... and have been doing it for over 2 years.

I have a shitload of frequent flyer points on BMI though...
(I helped save b3ta! chaotic_illuminator proud spacehopperist, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:51, archived)
# Do BMI
fly anywhere decent so you can at least get some cheap holidays out of it?
(I helped save b3ta! bob dinosaur, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:56, archived)
# They fly to a lot of European places....
...but they have "partner airlines" that you can redeem points with.

Ms Illuminator and I are going to New Zealand in the summer - I got one return ticket free with my BMI points, which can't be bad. And I still have some left...

# Nice one
and, on that note, g'night. Time for this dinosaur to put his head down.

# blimey.
the worst thing about that is that I'm actually a bit jealous. No one at work at the moment wwould actually notice if I got runover outside the office, got carted away and never came back. Sigh.

and you know we love you.
(I helped save b3ta! pep, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:50, archived)
# aww... we'd notice if you disappeared!
and of course I do...

Just feeling a bit fragile and thinly spread at the moment...

I'm likely to stay in town next week. Holborn, probably Wed night, so not far from your office... fancy a pint?

# damn -
I can't do any day next week - for some reason I've actually got stuff arranged (as opposed to this week where I've hardly done anything). Bums. Another time tho, definately =)

# I'll hold you to that...
I stay over once a month or so.

# ok cool!
just let me know.

# I've been too busy to b3ta
much during the day recently. I'm feeling the withdrawl symptoms.
(I helped save b3ta! Craymen, Wed 26 Feb 2003, 22:45, archived)
# I didn't think I'd seen you for a while
we were having withdrawl symptoms too.

(symtoms is a weird word to type. Doesn't feel right...)
