    I was walking home from a nightclub in Brighton on the night of the storm. We thought it was really funny to jump in the air and land 3-4 meters up the road - a great way to travel when you're drunk. It wasn't until we noticed that a tree was following us that things got serious...

        Porridge done, coffee maker has stopped burbling, computer on, 150 emails from last night freshly baked and ready to be dealt withanswered, and so on to coffee assembly phase: sugar, coffee, milk. Except the coffee looks a little thin. Thin as in, it's just hot water. Maybe adding some grinds to the filter would help improve the flavour :doh:

                I suggest strong words, spoken loudly, to your robot. Mine (who resembles me closely, just minus the consciousness) is now reasonably well-trained. It knows there will be punishment if the coffee is not prepared properly.

                    Tried that - same message. It's probably an ISP/Referral related thing. A proxy server got it though.

                      When home, we have a very good system. Mrs Wife usually rises before me and goes and puts the kettle on for her tea and switches on the coffee machine. I then have 5 minutes to get up and find the coffee. I only drink espresso and so have to wait for the water to heat up to make a coffee. I make my coffee, then start getting breakfast ready. By the time we have breakfast I have my second coffee and the world swims into order.

                          That's the problem with coffee: the more you need it, the less able you are to make it.

                            I'm not good with mornings either. Yonks ago, we had a hurricane - which I slept through. Next morning, up and off to work. I was taking the bus in those days (the motorbike was waiting a part) so I picked up the bike which was on it's side, blamed the local kids, and climbed over the fallen trees to get the the bus stop. I stood there for half an hour. Fallen trees across the road to my left, fallen trees across the road to my right. No sign of bus. Went home, climbing over fallen trees. Got indoors, and thought of coffee. Put on the filter machine. 5 minutes later, check machine. No coffee. "Strange" I thought. "I'll give it another 5 minutes" It took another 20 minutes before I realised the power was out as well. I'm not good with morning either.

                                        :-D Glad to please! There was a little girl Who had a little curl Right in the middle of her forehead. And when she was good She was very, very good But when she was bad She was horrid! I try to be very very good but bad seems like so much more fun! ;)
