We have a guy who works with us, he lives in Ireland and works from home most of the time. He comes over for a few days three or four times a year.He landed at Stansted yesterday morning, got in to the office...then at the end of the working day got the train in to London to stay with his mate where he always stays. And will be working 'at home' from there, due to the tube strike. Then he flies back to Ireland on Thursday evening! So he's come over for three days, and he's going to have to work at "home" for two fo them
That's exciting I hope it's not too much trouble with the tube strikes and all that..

Tube strike has been a non-issue for me today. I usually get a train (standing room only) into Charing Cross then a tube up to North London.
Today I got a seat on a nice, empty train into Charing Cross, then a bus straight away up to North London with no problems at all, maybe took me 5 minutes longer in total. Although the Northern Line is running so I could have got the tube (which apparently is empty 'cause no-one thinks it's running) after all.

Shock horror, I've actually organised to start learning mechanics with someone tomorrow, setting a personal record of a grand total of 6 days before the exam. That's the only reason I'm doing chemistry tonight...

Hah - I assume not *that* type of mechanics
I've always left all study until the last minute and always somehow done ok. I didn't even bother revising for my final Maths for Engineering exam back when I was in college - I scraped it by 1%
Funnily enough, my first music exams are the only ones I'm taking seriously since I did an IT qualification about 6 years ago. Odd, that!
I am drinking nice tea, made by me. I wish the forum members who have complained about the quality of my tea in the past could see me just now and observe the wonderful warm beverage that I am contentedly sipping from my fabulous IKEA mug and saucer. I would love it if they asked, "Matthew, could we share in your fine tea?", so that I could say "NO!!!".

As long as it has some milk in it (quantity not wildly important), and no sugar, I'll drink and enjoy it

I congratulate you on making a satisfactory cup of tea. It's a skill I have never mastered. Largely 'cos I can't stand the stuff myself.
So rest assured that I will not be asking to share in this beverage, and do enjoy it.

Barry manages to drink anything that's put in front of him.
This contrasts with Misterjay, who makes his own tea in self-defence, and just about every other visitor to the house who will have any drink other than my tea....
As we live miles from each other , it's unlikely that this will happen Katyjay, but if I do pop in, I'll have to make my own cuppa Only drink tea.

Well, in 25+ years of marriage, my OH has yet to make a really satisfactory cup of tea. He usually drowns the T bag in the pot, and doesn't wait long enough for it to brew. (He drinks only coffee you understand) Then I swear he puts half a cow in the cup before putting the weak T in afterwards.
Consequently, when he brings me my morning "T" in bed, it's usually coffee (we have this arrangement because he's a lark and I'm an owl!)
