Ant Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 *opens one eye, peers with some malevolence at the loud thinker over in the corner, closes eye, resumes previous supine position and returns to slumbering behind a copy of a newspaper that might rustle, should it move, but that does not move, not even a little bit, no matter how long you sit and stare at it in the conviction that it must, soon, surely, fall to the floor* Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/286-quiet-room/#findComment-5345 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe likes dinner Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 *crunch of ryvita and beef shudders through heart - what! 4 30! i've missed lunch - heart begins to race and breaks into nervous sweat**ah, whats this? DM's finally stopped tippy tapping on the bloody laptop only to throw the house copies of the joy of sex and the Spectator at myself and mikewbate and seems to have stolen cushion from young chumasterp mistaking it for her handbag. No surprise, the saucy content of the Spec is enough to put even the most gentile of lady folk in a fluster.**looks around the room as many consider the content of DM's forgotten handbag.. odds on, batdog lives in there, not heard from him in a while* Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/286-quiet-room/#findComment-5360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
