LAST PERSON TO POST WINS

It's 42 degrees Celsius here in Doha but I still have tea every single day

Proper one, not even iced one

As for PG tips it isn't the best tea ever but their big boxes are definitely the best value (for drinkable tea I mean...) and the most convenient ones when I go shopping (I have no car and mall is far enough from my flat to make it pretty impossible to walk there in this heat...). Though at work I always drink much better tea, like Twinings or Lipton or whatever is available.

Also we have mint growing in the Embassy's garden so when we have a collective tea break with other services we often have proper Moroccan Mint Tea with fresh mint leaves

Minty Mint-Tea

It's nice here today too, but more 26 than 42.

It was only around 29C when I first arrived, and last week it suddenly went from ~30C to ~40C, a bit tiring at first but it's ok now. I'm not exactly looking forward to reaching 50C in a couple of weeks though

This is super crazy. I had 3 cups yesterday, also! What are you doing over in the Middle East, Cal?

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Fri May 21, 2010 4:06 pm

Working at the French Cultural Centre. Not teaching anymore but working basically as a link between admin staff here on local contract and my bosses, who are Embassy staff like me but mostly working from the Embassy and who are a bit too absent for my colleagues' taste. Using tea, biscuits and leet mediator skills as my main weapons to glue the team back together as when I arrived a couple of weeks ago there were too many flame wars going on at the office but now things are getting a bit better.

Also when drama isn't wasting too much of my time I do my best to finally get my actual job done, aka teachers' training and course designing.

What about you, what do you do to keep yourself busy these days apart from drinking tea and eating biscuits?

I'm still working on my bloody PhD. Don't ever do nuclear physics. It takes forever.

Almost done though.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sat May 22, 2010 5:21 am

I'll keep that in mind

If I ever did a PhD it wouldn't have anything to do with physics anyway but more with languages or something.

Anyway, Dr Golbez will be a cool name, better than Totally not Golbez

I have nothing to add to this conversation, but want to be winning.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 7:36 am

You've been winning for too long :O

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 10:43 am

This winning business belongs to me for the time being.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Jun 05, 2010 11:01 pm

Somebody (with lots of spare time) should calculate who's won the most

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Jun 06, 2010 12:35 am

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Jun 06, 2010 8:46 am

No, I think I should delegate.
U!

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Sun Jun 06, 2010 12:28 pm

Teagame

I remember the last time I was winning like it was now.

That's some fault memory you got there.

Cybernetic Empire · Post by **Cybernetic Empire** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 4:05 pm

Well when you posted wasn't now so I wasn't winning. Now it is.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 8:51 pm

Here because I hear somebody posted.

eightman · Post by **eightman** » Wed Jun 09, 2010 9:16 pm

You heard a post whore?

You posted a herd of whores?

Whores heard you post?

Well I've posted you a whore.

Because I anticipated a hot hot summer impending I have ordered an air conditioning unt which has arrive today. It is 15 degrees out and raining... I feel foolish.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 12:52 am

And that is why you suck.

eightman · Post by **eightman** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 1:57 am

For ordering it or feeling foolish?

You suck for not being clear. Clearly you suck at clarity.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 2:52 pm

Air conditioning is important, so you shouldn't feel foolish. It's difficult to appreciate a hot cup of tea during the summer without it.

Cybernetic Empire · Post by **Cybernetic Empire** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 7:56 pm

FUCK your tea drinking! THERE! I SAID IT! Win~

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sat Jun 12, 2010 5:42 am

That was so fail. It may have won the thread, but it was a major fail of a post.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 12:49 am

Maybe you suck for both reasons?

eightman · Post by **eightman** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 9:16 pm

And maybe you suck for being indecisive?

.... Oh shit!

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Jun 14, 2010 10:46 pm

Maybe, but probably not.

The RDM supposes he knows you're answer to "anything good?", then.

Yes.

Drinking.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 12:24 am

Nah. I just drank in a dump.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 12:25 am

Blargh, then.

The RDM's neighbor's car burned down last night.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 2:58 pm

I've just been in Manchester.
They have the drunkest, craziest girls in the world there

Cybernetic Empire · Post by **Cybernetic Empire** » Tue Jun 15, 2010 6:13 pm

Are they attractive?

I got a new job yesterday.
Gotta work one month of notice here and be checked out by police before I can start.

Sweet.

Have fun being investigated.

If they're anything like the people who investigated the RDM they'll be very thorough.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Jun 19, 2010 11:51 pm

I'm not worried. Pretty sure I buried the bodies deep enough.

Anonymous · Post by **Anonymous** » Mon Jun 21, 2010 12:53 am

They don't care about the bodies.

But speeding tickets.
