Ian:

[seeing my desktop background] Did you take this picture?

I did, yeah.

Ian:

Is this your view from the window?

me:

Yeah. I just took it from out on the balcony.

Ian:

... This is a nice picture.

me:

Oh, thank you.

Graham:

Wow. That's high praise, coming from Ian. He doesn't usually give such high praise.

me:

I know!

Ian:

... Maybe it just looks good because of your monitor.

Graham:

See?
