Polite request - no jokes for the next 20 minutes, please

[huwevans]

There has been a very silly mood in here today - we've had tea-pun threads, people's ancestors fighting for Polish rabbis, or something, throwing things at fans on bedroom ceilings - even goats have come back to haunt the forums again! Anyway, several of us have already had some nasty keyboard-covered-in-hot-beverage-type accidents.

Well, I've just made some coffee and now I'd like to drink it. It's nice coffee - my favourite Columbian beans, freshly ground, Demerara sugar, and all that, and I've gone to a lot of trouble - I even had to wash up the caffitiere first, because I'd forgotten to do it the other day. So naturally I want it going into my mouth, and not getting sprayed all over my monitor and keyboard. Clear?

So, anyway, please - no sneaking side-splitting jokes at me without due warning for the next twenty minutes or so. Thank-you - I'd appreciate it. :-)

You cant eat coffee at 5:30 pee em!!

Having said that, I have just consumed my lunch...a cold tin of baked beans...

[bagpuss]

You student, Ermintrude!

[bagpuss]

I really fancy a coffee now, Huw. But I'm not allowed after 6pm, as it counteracts my sleeping pill.

[geepee]

No jokes for 20 minutes while you have your coffee. Are you trying to filter our content? What grounds do you have for that? This might percolate through all the threads.

As I recall, I slept, doodled and text messaged through most of my lessons.

Well done, btw. What are you studying again?

They're young, Erm!

[huwevans]

Just too late - I finished the last mouthfull a couple of minutes ago. :-)

[huwevans]

Okay - thanks everyone, finished now. As you were. :-)

[geepee]

By the way Erm, I have just remembered that you are now famous after being mentioned by Chris Gatcum in AP 9th September issue.

Yes in APAnswers Chris was answering a question re Bridge or DSLR cameras. He mentions the Canon Powershot S3 IS. The last paragraph reads :-

'Ermintrude', a regular contributor to the AP forum, certainly seems to have nothing but praise for hers.

[Benchista]

Sounds like the perfect coffee to me!

[huwevans]

It was - and I didn't spray a drop. Picking the slack period when a lot of people would have been stuck in the evening rush-hour and not being silly on the forum was probably the right move. :-)

[geepee]

and not being silly on the forum

Pot kettle and black spring to mind.

[huwevans]

You're not suggesting... no, surely not! I'm quite put out by that. ;-)
