COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

Good evening all how is everyone keeping

Hey there Stranger.
Nice to not see you. How are you doing?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Don't worry I am training some fire flies to take up residence around the board so no more tripping and falling hazards ( yes I have done all my health and safety training)

Hmmmm.
Fireflies?
Hmmmm.
Poking jellyfish with sticks is the usual here.

You were right, we will get along great!! Vodka is my choice liquor too [emoji6]

[emoji1] i like mixing it with lemonade in the summertime

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Explain “snap” to me please

If one of us posts something in reply to a post and then someone else independently replies with the same answer, one of the two will post 'SNAP' like in the card game.
If the post's almost the same we post, "SNAPish"

 

[Bambam1989]

Explain “snap” to me please

Think of it like when two people say the same thing and they say "jinx". But overseas they say "snap"

How’s this for cute, Kathy?

Pity the guy is spoiling the cuteness.

Yes but that takes effort and if it's really dark you can't see them to poke them.
I think fire flies could be a useful addition in the very dark corners and the sign for the bar!

Goodness!
And with that, I have finally caught up!
Well done, Roommates, for keeping this Room running so busily while i've been away!
Brilliant on welcoming new Roomates and giving great tort advice to them and each other.
Not so good on letting the One-Legged Pirate and Leprechaun Substitute get away with murder, the place being overrun with meerkats and eating the Wool Spider (if she existed) .
I've enjoyed reading through all the trials and tribulations, travels and trips, postcards and potted plants.
Sorry to hear about the problems and health issues some of you and your pets have been going through.
But proud of your kindness, team spirit and the support you give to each other.

And it's interesting to note, that since I returned, the male Roommates have all just about vanished.
Never mind, i'm quite happy sharing the Cold Dark Room with a dozen lovely ladies!
Love you all, Roommates. (men and women) .

And we love having you back with us again Adam.

And who's going to keep the bar stocked, serve behind it and keep it clean, I wonder?
It'll cost a fortune.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Hmmmm.
Wait a minute!
I could charge!

 

[Bambam1989]

Hmmmm.

I'm kinda for BYOB

I will definitely post a pic. I doubt it will be today though.. hubby ordered a gable fan and it arrived today, so it's getting installed really right now. I'm seriously on the verge of just dragging everything into the dining room and working there. If he wants to eat without staring at a pile of clay, I bet he finishes rewiring my lights!

Come on hubby. We are waiting. How does that cheering song go? Why are we (Bambam) waiting?
Why are we (Bambam) waiting?
Why are we (Bambam) waiting?
Why are we (Bambam) waiting?

Actually, that's a bit of a sore point.
The whole of Fes has run out of Jiffy bags and I need some to post things to people.
It costs much more to post boxes.
I went to one shop and asked and the man said, "Ah, you speak Arabic?"
"A little" I replied modestly.
"Are you a Muslim?" he asked.
"No" says I.
"Then i shall not speak to you" says he!

The first time this has happened in 13 years!

How rude. And dare I say it....racist.

 

[CarolM]

Hmmmm.
Compliment or insult????
I think I'll take it as a compliment!

Thats how it was intended.

 

[CarolM]

And it was about 15,500 posts i had to read!

Well done.

 

[CarolM]

i'm rather afraid I have a cat problem too.
They use my hallway and in front of my door as a toilet, fight and scream all night long, make noises like thunder as they run and brawl on my neighbour's plastic roof and look repulsively mangy.
i have tried all sorts of things to chase them away, but nothing works short of killing them. And that I'm not prepared to do.
Just have to grin and bear it.

Use your staff!

We can have a rota to serve behind the bar. We will just charge cost price to buy a drink which we will then use to replenish stocks. Won't cost a penny!!

Well, that's how it's always been.
We always have the coffee machine brewing and there's a hot drinks machine and soft drinks dispenser and about 800 bottles of Mountain Dew because the Pirate added a couple of extra zeros to an order for Ed, but alcohol was usually only rum to pay the pirate and a drop or two of spirits and a bottle or two of wine for special occasions. I do get beer in for special events as well, but it never lasts very long.
