Nige’s dinner disappointment

Nige came back from the canteen around 12.30;
Me: “What have you had for your dinner then Nige?”
Nige: “I’ve bought a pasty. I was going to have dinner down in the canteen with Mel (his wife), but she wanted to go on the internet instead.”
Lorna: “Don’t worry we’ll talk to you while you have your dinner.”
Me: “Well actually, I thought I’d go on the internet at dinnertime too.”
