"I successfully out-bored my girlfriend's Dad"

Now I hate to be unkind to the man, because he's a nice bloke...just sometimes he tends to go on about stuff for too long. I'm sitting round his house, abusing his broadband via the network he set up for me, and doing unmentionable stuff to his daughter, so I probably appear as a right to$$er for this, but today he was boring me a tad to much, so I tried it on him and it worked! The topic in question was pop-up blockers, but I successfully got it onto table lamps, and continued on and on about a lamp we have at home, until he eventually got up to make a cup of tea and left me alone! Hurrah for me, and my lamp.

Yes, you can use a lamp when the sun is obscured by the moon, or any cellestial body.

This Dad probably thinks you are mighty wierd, talking about lamps.

He probably went off to find his daughter -

"You're not marrying him."
