Another pointless thread

My espresso machine blew up terminally over a week ago. Confirmed it was terminal and so eventually we ordered a new one.

I have been without my daily espresso for over a week now.
Today my new machine arrived. Hooray.

Gasping for a decent cup of coffee I open the box, take it all out, read the instructions. Go to plug it in.....hang on a minute. Where's the cable? Search the box, the accessories, check the water tank. No cable.

Now in e-mail discussion with the shop about a bl**dy cable for it. They say it must be there and I say it isn't.

I am not a happy bunny.

I need caffeine......so I can look like this again.

Edit - they have just replied to say they have ordered one from the manufacturer - it could take two weeks .

If I am a bit snippy in my replies you will know why.

Why do we get the stupid clown?

7086 reporting in.................had the CT scan after having to drink 1 litre of aniseed flavour water !!!! Barfed most of it up in the loo on the way to the machine - ooops! Iodine injection,lay down,few photos ( not Pentax - I did look ) thankyou and goodbye.................results Tuesday.

On off rain,cloud,sunny spells and dull and warm here - new Cyril on the block - just about hanging around for a thrown peanut but getting braver - left some on window ledge for acclimatisation !

Getting through a "Jack Reacher" book a day at the moment - 16 in the series and 7 read so far - Amazon love me - tee hee.

And 11298 I think - joclick !!

I am eight shots from finishing my latest roll of HP5, and I need to take another six photos for my "2010 in pictures" album project before the end of the month.

Just in case anyone's interested, one of my xmas presents was a Polaroid "Pogo" printer. This produces business card-sized photos with self adhesive backing. Shortly after I bought a Moleskine photo album - like their smaller notebooks but with a concertina-style page arrangement that opens out as one long strip. To fill it, I plan to take ten photos per month (two per page) printed with the Pogo and stuck in.

Shooting the Welsh Wilderness with K-m, KX, MX, ME Super and assorted lenses.

What the hell has any of this to do with stacking wood in the woodshed...get a grip man and follow the thread!!

In fact as a result of your blatant efforts to divert this threat I suggest that you now go off to a dark corner and thrash your own buttocks repeatedly with a suitably thick copy of some photographic journal or another.

I wrote 'Divert this threat...' was this perhaps an -albeit somewhat obscure- Freudian slip one subsequently now wonders?

Hooray! You're back . Aniseed flavoured water sounds nasty. Nearly as bad as the stuff they make you drink before a colonoscopy (truly foul stuff). Hope you get some good news on Tuesday

My other half is a huge Jack Reacher fan. He has now switched to e-books which are a bit cheaper.
Me, I'm in to some Nordic Noir at the moment, particularly enjoying Arnaldur Indridason and Jo Nesbo, with a bit of Keef's autobiography thrown in for light relief.

Oh and my husband is my saviour - he had a computer power cable which fits my espresso machine so I have dosed myself up with caffeine. I probably won't sleep tonight as a result but I don't care.

I'm really glad you spelled that correctly

I turn my back for 2 seconds and look what happens to this seriuos thread...

...did I just say that?

Just dropped our Swedeish friends at the airport, they've been here since Monday and had a good time.

Now I need to give the liver a rest..

..so only one beer tonight.

bah, too many beers in Helsinki and Tallinn on Wednesday... urgh.

Anyways. Google+ works well and the forecast for the weekend is 25+!

Hiya Gwyn,

glad you finally got your "fix" - I`m actually drinking less with the medication , but still enjoy the odd Nespresso Lungho black and no sugar.

Reacher is addictive I must say , and I`ve done the Jo Nesbo Harry Hole books so far - really very very good.

The new Cyril decided to "claw" his way up the UPCVCPCV window frame to get at the bird feeder today - soon stopped that by bringing it inside - will leave some nuts on the ledge and see what happens - little tinker !

Forecast here is - would you believe - wet ?
Hey ho .................

best to all

Tony

Blimey, two archaeologists in the PUF...

If you haven't tried him yet then when you run out of Reachers try Indridason. Set in Iceland they are wonderfully written books. It is ages since I read a book at a single sitting but I did with my first one and now I have to force myself to slow down and do other things rather than devouring the next one.
