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:

Looks like once you have it, it'll work. But first time it gives an access denied foff message.
Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

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.

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...

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

delete this;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.

:wtf: :omg: I thought I wasn't a morning person, but you take the cake! Were you tired, or had your brain not booted up and logged in yet?

My Angels are the same. Normally quite good but when they are naughty it is mostly in a cute and lovable way. I'll have to stop calling Maximus my baby now as she hit the big 1-0 yesterday and is now "grown up" [her words not mine].
