Workshop Booze Up VII - New Year, Same Plague, Same Booze Up, Deja Vu

[Jubal]

Do you Americfolk also use the term coaster for a mat you put your tea mug on? Because I did a double take at the idea of a coaster park for a split second.

[comrade_general]

Aye. It's just short for rollercoaster in the sense I used.

[Clockwork]

Pretty sure we use the term coaster to mean rollercoaster here as well Jub

[Jubal]

Probably, yes, I just never get to talk to people about rollercoasters

[comrade_general]

Well come to the states and we'll go.

[Jubal]

I'm not sure if I'd take well to rollercoasters...

That said, I guess there is only one way to find out

[Pentagathus]

I suggest you sit next to an annoying child the first time you rollercoaster, that way if you spew you can find it amusing because you'll be spewing on someone who deserves it.

We should release a compiled book of Exilian Life Advice someday

I'm wondering whether I should start a new thread, with the title "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the train". I've been in Spain for 4 days so far, travelling around by train as usual, and it's rained, often quite heavily, every day. The temperatures aren't marvellous either - 15-17C (low 60s F). Typical British weather, in an untypical part of the world.

[Jubal]

It's been quite warm here! Though I haven't been out in it much, and I'm mostly just annoyed at the high pollen counts still. I had a grim nosebleed when I woke up this morning, which was unpleasant and meant I had to wash my bedsheets (which I'd literally done a day previously, just to maximise the inconvenience).

[Pentagathus]

It was really sunny and warm and not very windy here today and I had my last exam and it was a good day.

[Jubal]

Nice! Are you free for the summer now then?

[Pentagathus]

No

[Jubal]

What does life hold for you now then pray tell?

[Pentagathus]

I've got a lab placement up here, should be interesting and is definitely good for the experience but it means not much holiday for me.
