Sleepy:
What a hideously busy day at work. I nearly ran out of the door screaming several times. I couldn't decided whether to run, cry or carry on. Partners and CAD monkeys, the lot of them.

Detlef Sping:
Are the buildings falling over?
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:19:50 pm)
Sleepy:
Not as far as I know. I quite fancy going to visit the new Selfridges building in Birmingham. I had mocked a proposed work outing to see it, but now it actually seems quite good. It's a groovy new building.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:21:44 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Nothing smells like a new building.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:26:10 pm)
Sleepy:
Exactly.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:26:28 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Has it cooled down a bit there?
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:27:03 pm)
Sleepy:
I'm still toying with Lasik eye doings. Should I fear it?
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:27:26 pm)
Sleepy:
It's midway between cold and quite warm.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:27:53 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Get the No touch, no scraping kind of eye surgery if you can.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:29:03 pm)
Sleepy:
That sounds like good advice. This is Selfridges in glorious Birmingham: 
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:30:10 pm)
Detlef Sping:
It looks a bit like the work of Gaudi.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:31:25 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Nice, are those bottle caps imbedded into the wall?
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:32:10 pm)
Detlef Sping:
I always wanted to do that with pennies and then burnish them up to catch the sun.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:33:08 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Pennies are almost useless for anything else.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:33:49 pm)
Sleepy:
15,000 aluminium discs, apparently.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:34:39 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Nice use of aluminium discs.

Mrs Dr GB:
Sleepy!
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:35:24 pm)
Sleepy:
Mrs Dr GB!
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:36:14 pm)
Sleepy:
Yo. To you.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:36:25 pm)
Sleepy:
I trust you are all safe.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:36:37 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Yo yo yo. I saw 15,000 aluminium discs for sale on e-bay but no-one bid for them. I wondered where they'd end up.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:36:53 pm)
Sleepy:
Ha!
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:37:17 pm)
Detlef Sping:
We call them aluminum pop cans.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:37:28 pm)
Sleepy:
£2 and an old sock. That's all they cost.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:37:42 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Yola to you both.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:38:04 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Aluminum. Please: don't get me started.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:38:26 pm)
Detlef Sping:
A rainbow sock.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:38:32 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Too late: can you not pronounce it properly? Can you not spell it properly? And what's with "meer"? How do you get "meer" from "mirror"?
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:38:55 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
And "flarn" from "flan"
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:39:05 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Hey I'm Austrian.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:39:26 pm)
Detlef Sping:
No duh meen?
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:39:49 pm)
Mrs Dr GB:
Well, Austrian is fine. I don't think you mispronounce anything in a way that irks me.
(Fri Oct 3, 2003 - 2:40:49 pm)
Detlef Sping:
Chimbly.
