Merry: Don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.Originally posted by doodab View PostI think we can safely assume that at this time of day I've already had breakfast and a three course lunch. It's a bit early for dinner.
Pippin: What about elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?
Merry: I wouldn't count on it.

Am I on holiday?
I have a short gig overseas, it turns out today is a public holiday that I wasn't informed of until last Thursday after I had taken the decision to stay here over the weekend, so I'm stuck in a hotel (miles out of the city centre) with no access to the client site and not much in the way of civilisation locally
Yesterday I went for a stroll around the old parts of the city, which is a bit of a trek and a nightmare to return from after dark (after the last bus had gone it took 1 1/2hrs to locate a taxi), so I'm reluctant to do that again, what shall I do instead?
I have already researched loudspeaker drive units rather thoroughly.Tags: None
