Ah, you might well have fallen for it.  We'll see after John makes his 
move. :)

Very much.  And I'll have the rest for lunch today.  Only problem was 
that it was a bit too wet - we didn't let it simmer long enough to cook 
off the liquid.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.

That's certainly true.  Which reminds me, I need to get the oven going 
for the naan for lunch.

And your bank says?

BTW Since Mr. T likes to be called "The Donald". Why aren't people 
calling him "the Duck"?
Suits him (and he wears one).

Sorry I'm late lads. Bloody meeting went on for hours and, at the end of
it, all that had been agreed was the date for the next one.

That's the No. 88 to Oxford Circus. By your leave.

<Sigh!>

Yes.

It is a nice phone and shiny. Try Google cardboard and report back, 
sergeant.

That's quite alright - life happens, even in the middle of a game of 
MC. :)

Hyde Park Corner, but without the moped this time.

Nice.  :)

We made pizza from scratch last weekend - going to probably have another 
go this weekend, as it was the first time we'd done the dough from 
scratch as well, and it was a little puffy.

Mine was tasty, but sadly A's was burnt (needed a little longer and we 
lost track of time).

Homemade tacos tonight, though we're not making the tortillas from 
scratch, as that's just silly. :D

Surprisingly, it also says I have a subscription.

Nobody would insult a noble creature like a duck by doing that. :)

(We are talking about someone who literally picked a fight with a baby 
earlier this week)

No, no!! I have new $SHINY, therefore it needs more new $SHINY to
complement it. A Gear VR headset would be about right.

John (also thinking about a wi-fi charger)
