No, it's a Half Yard of Ale.

Evidence


a yard being 3 feet so some 90 cm. 45cm of beer? I feel drunk already :D

A yard of ale is 2 1⁄2 imperial pints (1.4 L) so 1/2 a yard is 1 1/4 pints (O.7 litre) C'mon even you can manage that :-)))

of course I can drink it. I'm just not sober any more afterwards.
Ok, ladies and gentlemen, have a fine weekend.

Oh just imagine coming into the kitchen after telling your better half to clean the floor and find he's poured a bucket of soapy water onto the tiled floor because 'that's how I learned to do it in the navy'

Well I'm seriously considering setting up camp here for a while.
I don't deal well with some stuff, so I'm quite put off main.
Yep, he got to me. Or the aftermath got to me.
Might be a gender thing.
Which means I'm so angry at that [censored] that I'm crying. What a stupid reaction.
You could argue that I shouldn't be put off by the likes of him, but hey, I have feelings too!

If you're talking about who I think you are, well, I've never plonked anyone on any of these boards, but he's a likely candidate to be my first.

Just accepted your friend request at Seti, although it had me thinking for a bit, because of the bad press your name-sake caused at the end of series 4, in the TV series Haven. How'd you dare do that to poor Audrey, just as she'd finally returned, again? ;-)

LOL. ( I had to read up on the series first, though I don't think it makes sense unless you watched it all :D)

Sorry Chris, you ended up in 9 as I wasn't up early enough to vacate 7. And I'll have the grauniad if you don't want it.

Anybody care join me for a late full fry-up?

Oh darn. Oooh darn. Oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn, oh darn.

I had instructed Yvette specifically not to let anyone in cabin 9 until we're sure the renovations on it were done. Those aren't ready until mid-February 2016. I'm so sorry.

Please carefully pick up your stuff, don't try to disturb the dust, as it isn't dust but very fine [censored]. Believe you me, you wouldn't want to breathe that in. Remember that part of the cabin was built and used in the 1960s and they didn't mind using [censored] at that time.

So so sorry. You will of course be reimbursed for this first day, while we move you to cabin 12. That one is definitely refurbished. As is cabin 7, by the way.
Of course, if you already are a sufferer of [censored], [censored], sniffle-sneezes, [censored], hot-spots, [censored] or [redacted], you could willingly stay in cabin 9, but if you don't mind, please sign the waiver, here, here, here and there. Also on page 17.

Thank you.

Checking in (preferably to cabin 17; I understand it has extra privacy) ahead of the outrage.

It is a little early; they'd been sticking to a Noon-time(for me) downtime, which 9 am for them.

Going down this early must mean something but the question is what?

It means that Jeff is doing the maintenance this week.

Jeff has also been working through the last two weekends preparing for Green Bank Telescope data, so there might be more components from that to be installed at Beta.

I have now forbidden her to go near the kitchen with any electronics in front of her for the next month. That'll last 2 days.
Edit: it didn't even last 2 hours. Just found her doing the dishes while reading a book on her tablet. Sigh. Learned nothing of me cleaning the kitchen after she messed up. Why didn't I let her clean the kitchen, then? Because then I still wouldn't have started dinner, as she wouldn't have been finished.


You ever consider getting a jammer?

They are illegal here in the USA but we've seen them advertised in Europe.

Some are shaped like Pepper dispenser. You turn the knob on the top of them and it turns on, turn it again and it turn off.

They advertise it as a way to get kids off the electronics for sitting down to dinner.


Edit..

That is too simple of an answer and makes too much sense I'm looking for something more nefarious.
