It's roasting out there and it's only midday - where are you

[Minnie_the_Minx]

yeh, it's on now

See, there's probably loads of us jealous of you right now, but only for an hour

 

[scifisam]

well you almost did

It took me well over a year of detailed searching to find this one, though. I'm sure other people don't have such difficulties doing something as simple as buying a sofa.

I do, haven't got a lot of money, but need a small one to fit into my tiny living room, ideally a two-seater sofabed, but all the ones I've seen that I like are expensive. The cheap ones all look... cheap

My new French word of the week has been "canicule" - from the latin - "dog day". It's hitting the mid-30s on the continent and health warnings have been announced.

 

[kittyP]

Bloody hell.

I only went out on to the patio to give the plants a little extra water and

My feet are still stinging from the tiles!

Excellent, a good reason why El Jefe shouldn't go outside.

Isn't that normal weather over there for this time of year?

Yep.

And people commenting at Libération are pointing out that it's a darned sight warmer in parts of the USA ...

Sounds like all the stick the British get from across the world when we get excited about a bit of weather.

Glad to know it's not just us

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Fuck, ok it's hot now. There is no way I am leaving the house today.

This one was only £130 and seemed like a good one in the shop - seemed comfy as a sofa and as a bed. It's not tiny, but not huge either. If it ever arrives then I'll let you know if it's any good, because it really is so much cheaper than any other I've seen (except for a couple of incredibly uncomfortable and ugly futons).

2 seater?

 

[twistedAM]

Dear Minnie,

I am sitting in a cool cellar.
Can you please advise whether I tick air-conditioned office or other?

Faithfully,

twistedAM

 

[Intastella]

I went outside with the lappy for a while, but it started over heating and playing up, so i came back in. Bloody hot in here as well tho...

 

[Upchuck]

Park at lunch, now indoors.

 

[scifisam]

2 seater?

Yep, but two reasonably big seats.

In a lorry somewhere nearby. I've even passed the deliverymen on the street and spoken to them in person, but they haven't got round to me yet. TBF the reason they couldn't deliver it on Monday is that the delivery man broke his arm that day, which is a pretty good excuse.

Dear twistedAm

A non air-conditioned workplace is option no. 2, although as you like to spread yourself out, I'm sometimes not convinced you even have a workplace in your cellar

Minnie


PS: You can do away with the commas after "Dear Minnie" and "Sincerely".

PPS: An exclamation mark should not be underlined.

Hm, my friend bought a sofa off the back off a lorry. When they delivered he realised what a piece of shite he was getting. Apparently loads of other people fell for the "Italian leather sofa"

 

[El Jefe]

Dear Minnie

I can verify that twistedAM does indeed have a workplace in the cellar - a small, messy, sticker covered workplace, but a workplace nonetheless.

Yours etc.

Dear El Jefe

If this is indeed true, could yo uplease ask twistedAM to use the cellar as his workplace and not to use the pub as his workplace.

Yours etc.

Minnie


PS: Why's it's so small, messy and sticky. urgh!

 

[El Jefe]

Dear Minnie

it's called hotdesking

Get with the fucking programme

Dear El Jefe

Hotdesking is apparently sooooooooooooo 80s. More to the point, hotdesking is normally carried out in the workplace, not in the pub.

PS: You should be watching Monk anyway

This thread is now terribly out of date - perhaps you should ask a mod to update the title.

Much love,

AH, no, this is from a real shop with a website and everything and two physical shops, and I've even seen the sofa in the delivery lorry. Besides, it's not Italian leather, because they're nasty.

Dear Fogbat

Having just looked at the current weather, it would seem that 10 minutes ago it was still 28 degrees and it is therefore still roasting. I will grant that it is no longer midday.

Thanks for the love

Minnie

Hm, so why aren't they getting it to you?

 

[twistedAM]

Dear El Jefe,

We've got ourselves embroiled here, haven't we?
Personally, I've never been to a venue or pub that is unstaffed?

A selection of things cluttering my office:
- a handbag full of spiritualist books, candles and incense belonging to one of the Magic Numbers
- an angle-poise lamp belonging to Milloy
- an amp belonging to Super Nashwan
- a William Elliott Whitmore album belonging to you

Cheers,

twistedAM
