Hey Jadey! Welcome to our humble bar. I know it is just a little place, but we do have replicators, a DJ and dance floor, a childrens menu, a sushi-chef, and even a bathroom. What we don't have is a kitchen or a cure for hangovers, so take it easy on the virtual drinks, okay?

Tismey! I sympathise entirely. I still don't have my ISP up after a whole two weeks, and am using my dad's account. What gets me is that they can cut you off if you slip over your plan by one day, and when you do pay online they can put the charge to your credit card in under an hour, but then it takes them at least a week to re-connect you. They will not be getting any more money from me! More's the pity, since they were the first ISP I've found that NEVER had a busy signal or dropout.

Oh, and dig this... I just took a tour of my local IBM data-centre yesterday. It was boring as hell because they wouldn't actually let us see anything. Not the mainframes, not the networks, not even the tape library or print room. All we were allowed to see was the cafeteria and the call-centre.
What got me, though, was their promotional video. There was an IBM programmer working at a PowerMac G4 with cinema display in the background of one of the shots!
And when the guide turned on the big projector, it came up with the TV running "Diagnosis Murder". There was some girl in a very skimpy outfit acting all flirty, and the guide couldn't work out why his audience his trying hard not to laugh while he talked about career options.

It's great. How many other TV shows can boast 9 Van Dykes? Well, 9 is the most Van Dykes that I've ever counted in one show. Obviously we're a little behind on it over here. Maybe there's one that's been shown in the States which has more than 9 Van Dykes in it?

Hey Waiter!
do you have Becks Beer her??? No??? Ok. What do you have???
And how bout some chicken wings???

[ulrik]

Sure we have Becks hier, in Herve's, you get whatever you like.
(I won't pass judgement on your taste of beer )
Well, Becks is alright, I still prefer my Eichbaum Ureich, allthough it is only available in small parts of southern Germany...it tastes a bit stronger than Becks, which is already a rather "nordish" beer if you ask me...like Jever...

So, since the bartender seems to be out installing MacOS 10.1.3, I'll make you some Chicken Wings, but beware, I am feared for my Chicken Wing and Barbecue Sauce! I once killed a whole regiment with just one spoon of this stuff, so you better like hot stuff!

So, relaxing from that "may I cus"-thread, yeah?

Timsey! morning coffee please! :-)

If it doesn't compile, disable error or warnings during the compilation and when it crashes, use the Microsoft philosophy: "It's not a bug, it's a feature", which means the same as "we had to finish the software, so we turned of the warnings in the compiler"

Just came here from the cus thread. This place is so beautiful it makes me want to cry.
