Are they actually in administration, no clue to that on their website?

I have some contacts in the legal world who inform me that this is true -

By the way that is one seriously disturbing website, having been a retail mgr for nigh on 15 years, I can safely say that if that company is really that bloody happy, they must be putting some high levels of happy juice in the staff milkshakes....

They are very happy! It's surprising I can tolerate them really!

I can't believe it, get me actually caring about a product I have never had and would never touch with a bargepole (who the hell puts vegetable oil and potato starch in a freaking milkshake!!!) I am just worried that it is more than Matt can bear, I think he needs a rhyme to cheer him up-

Roses are red
Violets are blue
someone'll love you one day
although god knows who!!!

There we go, I think that is one of my best pep talks, he'll have a spring in his step now I tells ya, a spring.

How is that job of yours at the Samaritans going?!

Thanks for that very funny, though "day" doesn't rhyme with "red" so poor show!

I always assumed that 'roses are...' rhymes are in ABCB pattern, but you are looking for ABAB, hmm, I will have to work on that, I will do it after my shift at Childline tonight.

In fairness my experience is limited in this area!

STOP PRESS! STOP PRESS!
I know, I'm not due a weekly update but I have some very sad news to report.

Shakeaway the world's best milkshake store has gone into administration 

And a number of stores have been closed down, including my local one in Angel, Islington 

http://www.shakeaway.com/england/index.php?page=news&id=47

And now my nearest still opening store is in Croydon 

I will be having two minutes silence as a mark of respect at 11am tomorrow which I invite you to join in.

As you can appreciate this is very sad times in The Tale of OG Gamers - High Elves and so it may take a while to get back to my usual cheery level of posts.

This makes me very sad. I had plans to go weekly into my local GW and use their paints on hobby night while nomming on shakeaways. Now they may not come to pass

nomming

My new favourite word...

[cunningmatt]

nomming

It is a VERY good word, I will try and use it more often. In fairness I am not sure how Australia's Shakeaway's are affected - fingers crossed!

[Garzini]

how are you going to paint without a blue and yellow stripy cup for inspiration?

Quite a few in the uK and many abroad are franchises, so they should be alright what ever
