After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Brewtus Interruptus
Brewtus Interruptus (n)
When one is interrupted by an unavoidable distraction seconds after hitting the brew switch.
It happens to all of us. We're making a coffee when disaster strikes, usually when the elusive godshot is apparently in progress.
This morning, it was my turn.
Seconds after hitting the switch I notice my boy waddling towards me with a suspicious bulge in his undies.
"5-one-thousand, 6-one-thousand, 7-one-thousand..."
Looks like a care package from below has landed... And is about to be distributed liberally around the house.
"9-one-thousand,10-one-thousand, 11-one-thousand..."
Still on the tiles. No spills yet...
"13-one-thousand, 14-one-thousand, 15-one-thousand..."
Oh oh - turning in the direction of his carpeted room with bedding, toys and lots of ground-based, bond-destroying potential.
17-one.... Nope, 'ristretto' time!
My wife wasn't so lucky - no time for milk, she had to wait about 15 minutes before I could start again.
