Here we all are, the main ILX is down for maintenance, or poxyfuled, or something.

Is there something about that displacement which means that the questions don’t come as easily?

Or is it that people don’t want to waste stuff on here that may disappear? Keep it for the ‘real’ place?

Only the addicts are here, not the random googlers and the newbies, it wouldn’t be the same :-(

NO WAY. let the silliness beginneth!

Is that what’s happening? I’ve been away on holiday for the last 10 days and thought maybe it had died again.

So wh’appen?

The database is broken, is my understanding.

killed by Dancin’ Balki!

It’s been broken for ages. perhaps we should take this time to prepare for a possible dry spell before the real nu-ilx launches.

okay nevermind. it is really broken.

poor server. anyone know how long it’s going to be down?

I think Andrew’s dead busy, but is looking for help.

yes he has said he cannot fixed it and has asked for someone else to ste p up.

Oh noes, I hope ILX is not fatally wounded :(

Between like 1500 and 1600 EST yesterday I was able to post, but no one else was, it was very creepy. Now I feel like all this may be my fault.

Yes! It’s all your fault!

OK how I am going to waste this afternoon now? Anyone know what’s going on?

uh, the VMAs are on tonight.

Oh, OK, I guess if they show that over here it’ll be on at 5am or something.

I’ll settle for listening to Cansei de Ser Sexy and trying not to fall asleep after my 3 pint lunch...

after my 3 pint lunch...

sounds like you have the afternoon covered.

Yeah I love working here...

I’m getting to finish work at 1.30 tomorrow to go to the pub! Hurrah!

this weekend, I tried to convince some people in my department that we should go to a nearby “pub” at lunch and actually drink beer. None of them were as adventrous as me. pussies.

I can’t think of a question!

Never stopped you before, Mark.

My last place was like that, we’d all go to lunch and maybe 1 other person would have a pint. Maybe.

Here there’s at least one extended pub lunch a week! There’s a whole gang of pissheads, I’m not even close to being the worst. Last week the girl I sit next to got totally shitfaced, which was actually a bit of a nightmare as I had to try and pester her to drink coffee all afternoon.

I’m not very good with lunchtime boozing, it just makes nme want to snooze all afternoon. Plus I have to drive home so I can’t drink unless I’ve pre-arranged for someone else to collect me.

this is a holiday weekend coming up here, my boss will be gone tomorrow and I commute by bus. I *must* find someone to lunch-booze with me tomorrow!

I wish I could lunchbooze you, er, with you.

My boss keeps cans of beer in our office fridge.

oh man, if I lunch boozed I’d come back to the office and actually tell people what I thought of them. eep!

This one girl at this one bank I talk to often totally called me out the other day. I slipped and called her “dude”, she was like “how many beers did you have with lunch?”. Also she has one of those phone-cute voices and I really want to meet her.
