Give me Cornetto - Give it to me

I Love Cornetto
Satisfaction. At work - sitting at my desk listening in to a boring conference call. Beautiful day outside my window. Watching the remarkable lack of traffic out there - down on the Broadway. Passers-by in t-shirts, shorts and summery dresses. Some carrying ice-creams. So I put the phone on mute, carefully put the handset on my desk and popped out to WHSmith and bought myself a Cornetto. Strawberry Cornetto. Got back to my desk, picked up the phone and took it off mute. And nobody noticed that I had gone. I love you Cornetto: bq. "Too doot doot dooooo -- yeahhhh, ---- too doot doot dooooo- - ohhhh As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May Just as hate knows love's a cure You can rest your mind assured That I'll be lovin' you always" George Michael & Mary J Blige

I am so jealous!

However, I did spend lunchtime sitting in a pub garden drinking a pint :)

Hey - well I know that devouring strawberry Cornetto whilst attending a boring conference call could be viewed as an enviable act of escapism - but sitting in a pub garden drinking beer is where I'd rather be!

In fact, from the background noise I could hear on the conf call - it would seem that all the other participants were sitting in a pub garden drinking beer too!

Best regards - Jag

Hey, was that MY conference call you went off during?? I WASN'T boring, but no wonder you weren't there when we really wanted you. Hah. Last time I invite you to something useful.

OOPS!

Actually Malcolm - it wasn't *your* conference call. At least I don't think it was! :-0

No - today has been ONE BIG conference call. (Actually - sometimes life feels like ONE BIG conference call).

No - your conf call had the privilege of me attending whilst on my beloved Route 79 bus. Consider this a privilege indeed! (Only one signal drop remember? And not a chance of hopping off to get a Cornetto and getting back on again in the time that I was out. Believe me.)

Thanks for stopping by to both Rob and Malc!

Best regards - Jag
