This page is now officially the highlight of my Thursday (highlight of Monday being GNW, highlight of Tuesday being reaction posts at LiveJournal, highlight of Wednesday syncing my iPod with the new podcast…life? What life?).
I was wondering, though – in our office, at coffee break time, we all sit around reading the papers, making fun of the politicians and other idiots in the news – what do you guys talk about during your coffee breaks?
Thanks again for the spare laughs, fiona
Glad we can provide a highlight in an otherwise unhighlighted day… I will not pass judgment upon your life. Usually I try to get this stuff up by Weds but this week other work kind of swamped the schedule.
In coffee breaks of course we get most of our best work done! The rest of the time we talk about music, the show, or some of the million and one other projects we have on the boil together or separately…
Cheers, Wok
Glad they’re keeping you busy. I don’t know if you’ve seen a programme over there (I’m in Edinburgh) called Lead Balloon, with Jack Dee as stand-up comedian Rick Spleen who spends most of his time with his co-writer failing to come up with stuff and drinking coffee. You sound like you’re having much more fun.
GNW is getting better week by week, by the way.
Must be about time to put the kettle on. Bests, f.
