The totally off-topic thread

[VPS]

When someone once discovered that I dont drink softdrink (just the occasional mixer) they asked what on earth I did drink. Tea, water and wine was my answer...what else does one need in life?

Gin and hot chocolate. Don't drink tea, coffee or any soft drinks except tonic in my gin (and not too much tonic)

It does confuse people when you don't drink tea or coffee

Tell me about it. I'll have tea with Asian food but that's it.

I'm sick of refusing marshmallows and assorted cough that comes with a hot chocolate.

Went to the warehouse to raid the broken, changed packaging products area to restock

And creepy cat has been replaced by befuddled bird.

This has been on our doorstep twice now. Fed it water and food today. It can fly, walk, move around and it prefers our front step and the rear step of my car. Looks young, wonder if it was kicked out of its nest.

Befuddled sounds about right.

Yours ... or the bird ?

The bird can handle the wet feet easily.

The bird is starting to freak my husband out, as it was watching him through the window.

When he went to have a nap earlier, he closed the front door as it was watching through the door.

Marshmallows are an abomination and should be banned from being anywhere near hot chocolate

Looking at a new office coffee machine and was considering Nespresso but they dont have hot choc pods. This is unacceptable, we need hot choc in winter!

The Nestle Dolce Gusto does hot chocolate, and the Nesquick hot chocolate.

And they are excellent little machines too. Hot chocolate is the best.

A little OT but does anyone else have trouble booking flights on the LAN Australian website.Go through until the complete page and it comes up with this transaction has not been completed.

 

[Denali]

Only booked with LAN once, remember having to try a couple of times. Sometimes dates were blacked out or return dates not avaliable.

I recall having trouble with it once.

Sanity-saving tip, Do not EVER call their contact centre, unless you are fluent in Spanish.

Pretty sure that’s what we had at Tokyo Station Hotel last time. (This time it’s an ordinary room). Had a nifty set of pods with one for choc/coffee and one for hot milk.
