I'm just popping out, does anyone want anything from the shop?

[brum]

Simply enjoying a very spontaneous conversation with you, that's all. My bed can wait.

[brum]

And when will your hair be dry?

[PinkyB]

I'm already in my bed. Hair dried hours ago. I'm all ready.

[PinkyB]

For bed.

[brum]

And what about the choco wrappers? Or will you just leave those till morning?

[PinkyB]

I'll toss them over the fence into my neighbour's garden.

Unless you want to take them home as a souvenir?

[brum]

Would you toss mine over too? What the hell.

[PinkyB]

(toss)

[brum]

That's better.

[PinkyB]

Do you want to make the obvious joke or shall I?

[brum]

Please, be my guest....

[PinkyB]

I always feel better after a good toss.

[brum]

I have to hand it to you - you said it better than I could.

[PinkyB]

Aythangyew!

[brum]

Slurring your words means you've obviously found the Lion Bar I left you under the pillow. Enjoy!

[PinkyB]

Oh no, I wish you'd told me earlier, I've been sitting on it and it's gone all soft.

[brum]

Au contraire!

[PinkyB]

I think you must be mistaken. I'm looking at it right now and it's definitely gone all melty and sticky and soft.

How long do you reckon we can keep this up?

[brum]

I always let the lady fall asleep first. It's the right thing to do. With chocolate still oozing from the corner of your mouth.

[PinkyB]

That sounds like a challenge!

Well, I have no plans for tomorrow... I don't need to be up early, or indeed, at all...

(to self)

Yes, that's definitely the thing to do, wait until he's completely exhausted and can't fight back... HA HA HA!

[brum]

Indeed, a ploy that would work on a poor helpless boy - but not a man of honour, of steel and of insomniacal tendencies!

[PinkyB]

Damn, my little bluff failed!

You will almost definitely win, then, 'cos I'm usually tucked up in bed asleep by midnight. Soon I will start rambling, then lapse into my native Portuguese, and finally fall face-forward into my laptop in a pool of dribble.

[brum]

Yes Miss Moneypenny, indeed it has (raises one eyebrow, sideways smile)

[PinkyB]

A boa noite, e agradece-lhe mantendo me companhia, mim apreciou cada minuto sujidade-enchido!

[brum]

Ah and so it has come to pass. I can't make it out but I should say thanks I enjoyed our chat too - I think.
