A combination of the brilliance of Daniel Kahneman, creativity of Thom Yorke (no misery) and package of Ryan Gosling. Terribly hard to satirise. Frightening, really.

Sweet potato fries available but not recommended.

Let me know, I may need to reserve the back room if numbers increase above the current eight or nine.

Time, place and date non negotiable, so don't even try.

Bloody typical, I arrive the day after

Well, yes, I know that. My last proper job was for that firm. A real job, I had, with a T4 and all!

My lack of mental agility is going to get my invite revoked. I will try harder.

I don't think so. The level of referential obscurity on some of these threads blows my mind as well.

It's mostly my fault (and dbd's).

Good luck with that - I wish I was going. I got a surgery date of July 5 so I may take 6 or 7 days and drive to the left coast. After the first week of June the Kootenay skyway is usually safe. Novo could be the one with the smarter wife, Iâ€˜m just guessing. Was it like Big Bang Theory with a Geordie accent?
