Chip's havng a quick Pringle.

Roscoff is slightly excited as tonight I'm meeting up with the producers and director of 'Tea at Five' my radio play to have our first listen to the edited version. It's not quite Tom Stoppard-esque but it's all my own :)
(At some point I'm going to have to break it to my parents that the two main characters are based on them. I may be written out of the will :( )

Thank yoooou. :$ And as far as I know, Ben, they haven't! They are exceptionally well behaved!

Have you heavily sedated them with animal tranquilizer? It works for my lot. Congratumalations by the way. Next step-assembly!

Ben was horrified to find that his breakfast order from the canteen included a big, fat dead fly. He's not planning to get them shut down or anything though. The swiftly made replacement breakfast was enough to placate him.

You have a work canteen? Where do you work a 1970s Carry On movie?
(is secretly jealous as has a fridge and microwave)

Is sat at work, waiting to go rip to pieces (sorry, analyse) a proposed new software package.

Weirdly just delivered the latest build of software to a client, hopefully it's not mine you are ripping to shreds. :D

Surreptitiously? Your own, or a colleague's? What flavour?

Very cool, man! Hope you're pleased with the results. :)

As for your parents, make sure you're in the room with them when it's broadcast, and cough loudly over the awkward bits.

Sick

Not too horrified to scoff down the replacement, I see. :)

Maybe they'd misheard you, and thought you'd ordered a flied breakfast?

Well done!

I can show off but I can't really take any credit. It's all come about from the press team for the gig in question. I'm not saying I'm not good, but the reporting of 'hype' certainly feels disingenuous.
