Ooo good luck with that Fishy
You could make a good case for Stanislav Petrov, too (“if the Americans are making a first strike, why are we only seeing five launches?”).
“Please stay on the line. We’ll be with you as soon as we can.” has a certain poetic ring after the first forty repetitions…
Please stay on the line. We’ll be with you as soon as we can.
Tracy is still throwing up in the break room; I told her last night the Widow’s Kiss was a mistake.
If you sound male, you don’t want to talk to Alice in her present mood.
And I am only waiting for Cathy to arrive so that I can go and pick up my “coughing” child from the nursery.
Please stay on the line. We’ll be with you as soon as we can.
Jeez, that’s going to be sticky…
Baggsie I don’t clean up after Tracy
It’s not my turn
I cleared up after the boys celebrated their win at Lara Croft against the mortgage accounts helpline

Still Hissing it down here

Did you get crap music too?

Perseverin’ sort of Fish. Glad it’s been explained. Annoying about the phone, though.
I have just had two cheese & marmite scones. Really rather good.
Very oppressive faux-musical loud noise, anyway.
That Bird has located a refurbed Nokia which seems to be just like the previous one, and is therefore likely to have vaguely familiar control routines, which would be a mercy. The new Thing is not intuitive…
It’s French. It’s what they do. (Only, being Alcatel, it doesn’t make up for it by being stylish.)
(Am in pub garden under cover.)
Have one for me wee birdie
Hailing here. Again.
Sun is streaming into the window by my bed
