Pudding, Modzeriao. It's all about pudding. Why, only the other day, I flavoured myself with elderflower cordial, them covered myself in custard and cream. Alas, it turned out that I was just making a fool of myself.

Were you trying to "plump for Tattva"?

I think UK idiom is confusing you. "Plump for" means to support or endorse. Tattva is the only song you can play on invisible spoons, for reasons that remain obscure.

Haus;

In everyone's life there are defining moments, when the workaday cares of the workaday world seem to melt away gently, to be replaced by something higher, something finer.

And it's all too easy to let them slip by.

So don't. Relax, savour and enjoy - your thoughts on dessert mean the world now officially owes you a living.

Mmmyesss. But I already mentioned that.

It isn't unfeasible that you could endorse the playing of Tattva on invisible spoons by covering yourself in pudding. There is, though, likely less messy ways to do it!

Fool.

Is that what you covered yourself in, Disgraced?

Alex, could you have a go at explaining this one? I'm off to sleep. Good luck, best of British, all that.

02:09 / 23.08.04

Good night Disgraced!

Alex, can you explain?

Yes.

Well or possibly anyway. Possibly, possibly.

Ok then...

I'm sure you're hip to this already, daddy-o, TCI, but Haus, by immersing himself in the ingredients, literally made " a fool " of himself.

When it's all over, a long time from now, if St Peter's being difficult about who they let in, that gag alone is a pretty much solid gold passport to the VIP lounge, I think.

No, actually. Never knew that a "fool" was a "dessert of fruit puree with cream or custard". It took your previous post and my dictionary to figure out the gag. Guess I've learned something new today--hooray!

Quite clever of Disgraced, really.

Right. It's late-ish, I've decided, so is anyone about? I'm on holiday and will probably fall asleep in 10 minutes, though. When I have to work, I go all insomniac. When I'm on holiday, I fall asleep despite myself. It's a pest.
Anyone? talk to me!

Just little old me, who will be more than happy to lull you to sleep if you're not already.

i'm about ari - are you still there?

Ariadne

21:07 / 23.08.04

I'm here! i thought everyone was still at work or something.

Well, *I* am, although not very efficiently - balancing working and sleeping is, I have decided, simply not going to be possible this week. If I sleep, I won't have time to do everything, and if I work I'll be too tired to get enough done.

Bwaaah!

Ariadne

21:15 / 23.08.04

Why do you have so much work to do?Are you working for yourself, or being abused by some evil employer?
I find myself working long days at the moment and it's not so fun.

its time to make a withdrawel from the sleep bank

Ariadne

21:28 / 23.08.04

My sleep bank is a bit miserly and irregular in its payouts.

either that or avoid the last vestigaes of pretence and actually move into your office.

I keep wanting to ask what eveyone's doing tomorrow and then remembering you're going to work. My cycling has been scuppered for the week (rain, injuries...) so I'm planning thrilling things like throwing out old clothes. We're bying a flat with less storage space, and i have far, far too much stuff.

21:39 / 23.08.04

Ariadne - it's a big week for my employer, basically - lots of financial stuff going on, much in the wind. All quite hectic, and a bout of insomnia last night has left me banjaxed before we even started. So what are you up to?

Ariadne

21:44 / 23.08.04

Work wise? I'm on the business desk of the local paper. It's okay, but starts ludicrously early and continues until quite late in the afternoon.
Otherwise, well, at the moment I'm on hols and annoyed I can't ride bikes. I'll no doubt mention that quite a lot as it's really annoying! Otherwise, I'm just trying to catch up on my life, my sleep, and see some festival stuff.
