I find myself in a quandary.

Well, quandary is perhaps too strong a word. I just feel vaguely indecisive.

One day I may reveal my true identity.

[NickFitz]

There's nobody else here (well, I think there's one chap round the corner), I have no work to do that can't be disposed of in a few minutes tomorrow or even next week, and nobody cares if I actually stay here making up the time.

So I could leave and have dinner in the pub, or I could stay and carry on reading interesting stuff on the intranet.

[NickFitz]

If I leave for the pub I will start drinking rather early (for me), thereby potentially jeopardising my early start tomorrow. On the other hand, nobody cares what time I get in tomorrow.

If I stay here I will be too late to eat a proper meal in the pub and will end up having a sandwich or something, then being so hungry that I buy garbage from a takeaway on the way back to the hotel.

[NickFitz]

Neither of these are optimal.

[NickFitz]

I have two (yes two) 300baud acoustic modems somewhere.

What I don't have is a phone that fits the cups.

Here you go.

That's your Xmas present sorted out

[RandyW]

I already have a chilled glass of wine in my hand.

[NickFitz]

That sounds almost as painful as being on the horns of a dilema...

Interesting that people refer to being on the horns of a dilemma, when "dilemma" is from the Greek meaning "two horns"... so it's a bit like PIN number, or ATM machine...

Who is that masked man?

It's the Lone Arranger.

I could take my camera up to the next floor... they have a very good view over Covent Garden towards Wesminster... put it on the tripod and take a long exposure shot, just for experimental purposes...
