What was the soil doing in your shower?

Probably came off of me.


(Yes, I know)

No, this requires a different approach. More like...

no no no...coders = developers...they are best dealt with like this

Oddly, we do.

Pretty much all meals are at the table - occasionally (maybe once or twice a fortnight) something like pizza or a takeaway are in the living room.

There's no TV in the dining room, and there's also a "no books or electronic device" rule while eating to the table.

Even for stuff like BBQs the options are stand up or use the outside table and chairs.

We do stop short of dressing for dinner though...

We eat at the table every night, but don't dress for dinner, either.

Still curious what a BBQ looks like in Britain.

Nude Dinner?

 

[AngryHobbit]

Nude Dinner?

There is such a thing as a nude gardening day, so nude dinner seems tame by comparison.

@gpseymour is a big fan of pumpkin spice everything, so this accurately describes how I feel around this time of year - between him and other pumpkin spice crazies.

Just don’t spill the soup....could be painful

so....I'm guessing this is your house this time of year

And keeping with the spirit of the season

I believe you mean coders == developers? Unless you are magically transforming coders into developers

Yup.

No. In my case, coders are not developers. Coders are medical coders who put procedure and diagnosis codes on medical transcriptions to send to billing.

Probably much like one in America.

Like a tray for holding fire, and a grille for holding lumps of quadruped or winged biped.

Sometimes there is a risk of Pimm's, more often a risk of rain.

Oh...well then...forget the hammer....just go for this

I don't know. Somehow, I think you guys would British it all up. One too many pips and a few Cheerios to kill it completely.

Seriously, though, when you say bbq are you talking abiut grilling or actual, low temp bbq ribs, pulled pork, or brisket or the like?

As a quick appendix, I'd be leery of generalizing bbq even in america. Usa is big. Lots of different flavors of wierdo....

Ah. The ones who mess up dx codes a bunch?

I'm entirely unsure that I've ever used the word "cheerio" outside of a breakfast cereal conversation...

Grilling is something done with heat from above - like cheese on toast. Difficult to do with charcoal...

The traditional way to cook with a BBQ appears to be to put stuff like chicken lumps above flaming charcoal until it's black outside and pink (preferably with running blood) inside, serve with lashings of rain and spend the next 4 days yelling into the toilet.

That's not my method though...

 

[granfire]

To be honest, I kind of miss people dressing for dinner. Maybe not full formal... but something. And why is it that there are wear jeans Fridays but no ballgown Fridays?

Guys look ridiculous in them.

 

[granfire]

no no no...coders = developers...they are best dealt with like this

expert opinion I suppose...

Isn't that a Russian thing, after a day in the Sauna?

 

[pdg]

And why is it that there are wear jeans Fridays but no ballgown Fridays?

Oh, office work with it's ridiculous efforts to try and instill a sense of camaraderie using pathetically tiny "rewards" that nobody really cares about - how I miss that.

Oh.

Hang on.

No, I really don't miss it. At all.

Every day is "wear whatever you like" day for me now.

Although, a ballgown would make ladders difficult, and might get caught in the mower...
