Evening all
Come on in for the evening, grab a bean bag and settle on down. And have cake. Can't forget the cake.

So
How are we all this evening?

My internet wasn't coping well with the number of replies in the other thread.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:35, )

That has helped, PoD
Nearly 400 replies did make for quite a bit of unnecessary refreshing.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:38, )

yay, a new home!
Penguin!

And cake!

woo!

*hugs Penguin*

edit: and k2k6! woo!
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:38, )

*stumbles in, blinking*
ooh, are we here now?

Cake? Mmm, thanks

nyom nyom
(TheWeeWitch avoiding DIY for safety's sake .., Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:39, )

How are you both?
*Hugs hlt*

*doesn't hug k2k6*

I'm well excited, as I only have 4 more days of work this summer, tomorrow, and then three days next week. YAYS!!!
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:40, )

*gasps*
no hug from PoD?



*cries*
(TheWeeWitch avoiding DIY for safety's sake .., Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:42, )

*Hugs TWW*
You hadn't appeared by that point in my typing. Are things well in Edinburgh?

edit - Right, off to get my drumkit back from a friend. Back soon.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:43, )

Now then
I've just changed my profile pic, at the request of certain individuals.

Edit: Thanks for the non-hug, PoD. Appreciated.

*manly nod*
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:44, )

Aaaw thanks
*hugs*

All fine here in the Cantonese speaking Jewish Traveller's household.

You? Not many days left at work then back to Uni I assume?


Edit: ooooh, K2k6 - nice kilt. Maybe sitting a tiny tad high on the waist? Sorry, picky picky. Which tartan is that?
(TheWeeWitch avoiding DIY for safety's sake .., Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:45, )

@TWW
If I remember correctly, it's the Ancient Gunn. No connection whatsoever with my family - I just liked it.

It does actually fit properly, as it was made to measure only a couple of months before that photo was taken. It's just that I have a high waist and disproportionately long legs!
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:52, )

Aaah, that'll be it
Of course, I'd have to see you in the flesh *coughs* to check properly .....

Next April, you know what to wear. I'll be the one in the mask (to preserve anonymity)


Edit: Bye folks. Might be on later, but I doubt it. Friend is visiting from Manchester so it'll probably be a late one.
(TheWeeWitch avoiding DIY for safety's sake .., Wed 27 Aug 2008, 18:55, )

@K2k6
Yay! for kiltige.

I have wine and have ready access to two pictures of men in kilts. My evening will be lovely.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:04, )

Found on Craigslist:
re: What is Love?

Love is a pernicious illusion, foisted upon us by Percy Shelley and his ilk and perpetuated by Hallmark for the sake of selling cards with blitheringly idiotic banalities written on them.

It is nothing more than an excuse to open yourself up to grievous injury and betrayal. And the passion and adrenaline rush from contact with this other person will fade in time, subject to the Law of Diminishing Returns like everything else, until one day you realize just how much happier you are when you're alone.

It's also the one thing in the world we all crave more than anything else.

Sucks, doesn't it?
(The Resident Loon Don't worry, we're from the Internet!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:14, )

@BGB
I don't know whether to feel flattered or slightly seedy! :)
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:15, )

@Loon
I wouldn't know : (


@K2K6 - definitley seedy.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:18, )

@ TRL
I disagree entirely with those sentiments.

Love is caring about someone else more than yourself - putting their needs before your own out of choice.



Notice I didn't go with my original idea that love is a baby's smile - even I thought I might vomit.
( chickenlady Official Antelope keeper and trainer for 2009, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:21, )

Cake
Who said cake?
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:22, )

Note that
this was FOUND on craigslist.

It's a bit bitter even for me.
(The Resident Loon Don't worry, we're from the Internet!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:22, )

@BGB
That's OK then.

*lifts kilt very briefly*
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:25, )

TRL
I did see you found it - we all know you're a confirmed romantic!


It is bitter and rather sad.....hope whoever wrote that has got over it by now.
( chickenlady Official Antelope keeper and trainer for 2009, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:26, )

Love is .......
Scary.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:28, )

Love is
A delusion-inducing neuro-chemical inbalance.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:32, )

love is...
an illusion invented by bank managers to make us spend all our money
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:34, )

@Kaol
You can get drugs for that....right.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:35, )

Love is......
When you bang your head against a wall for several minutes and you feel better, not worse.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:36, )

Love is
-being willing to kiss someone's scotch breath.

-warm lips on sensitive places.

-a pair of eyes that take your breath away.

Or, if you're not in a romance mood:

-a big plate of cheddar and bacon fries and a cold beer.
(The Resident Loon Don't worry, we're from the Internet!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:37, )

You can, yeah
But they make you feel like shit.

On a slightly more optimistic note:

Love is something I have no experience of yet, but I'm willing to give it a go.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:37, )

@Kaol
Your a braver man than me Gungadin.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:38, )

Love is...
... not being told off when you lift up the kilt!
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 19:41, )

Hahaha!
I'm here for the evening now, how goes it?
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:04, )

@Kaol
Well if your here for the evening then I'll stay and chew the fat.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:06, )

Yep, I'm making a picture
Other than that, I'm here.

T'was good to meet you the other day!
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:07, )

Same here : )
We didn't get to talk much. If the Loon gets here at the end of September and we get down to London then we must try to meet up again.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:10, )

I want to meet you all even more now
I want to know you're all real.
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:12, )

Oh tulip we're real alright.
I know it seems amazing that a group of wonderful people like us could exist, but we do.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:13, )

Yes indeed
Another meet-up would be good!

EDIT: I certainly exist. Very much so.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:15, )

We don't actually know that though
I mean, Rotating Wobbly Hat could just be very good with Photoshop, or could actually be assuming multiple identities on here!

Anything is possible on the matrixinterweb.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:18, )

K2k6
Come the Edinbash you'll believe I exist. Hard.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:19, )

@Kaol
I'm already expecting the full face-rape experience...!
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:21, )

Nooooo!
Believing that Kaol exists HARD means he's going to be doing man-kissing.

*hides*

I am now returned with my drumkit, so I can actually play it now, which is grand.

TWW - Finish work soon, and then have 3 weeks off before I go back to uni. It will be well sweet.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:22, )

I'm not sure...
You're not really my type...

Mr. PoD on the other hand...
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:22, )

be gentle with me
at the Edinbash, won't you!?

I'm not sure I'm real at teh moment.

edit: oh noes! interval!

*dives behind bar*
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:23, )

I'm incapable
Of making inappropriate moves on women...

Too much of a gentleman.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:25, )

People are generally attracted to me



That isn't true actually.

DRUMKIT!!! It makes me happy.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:25, )

Hallo!
I have eaten Faj. Fajitas, that is. I think I am feeling better!

How are we all?
( Devil_In_Tights - A cheese and onion union jack tickler it is!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:36, )

Evening...
...all! I'm in London, I've got a Henry (my dog) at my feet. I'm watching the Daily Show on More4.

And there's no:

1. Typhoons
2. Chinese people
3. Banks

Here!

W00t!
(Edmund <something funny>, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:37, )

Evening Ed, DIT
Good to see you both. Glad the uk is treating you well Ed.

I am now carving up lots of boxes as they are no longer needed. What fun.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:42, )

Hi Ed!
Keep the fourth week in September free. I might be bringing a merkin down to London to visit for a couple of days.

Is Hong Kong all a bad dream now?


@POD - There's always a need for boxes.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:51, )

End of September...
Got it.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:52, )

Not these boxes
There were like 12 of them, and all far too small. They are now in pieces. The big box they all go in I am keeping for other reasons.

Is everyone well tonight?
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:55, )

@PoD/BGB/all
I'm out of Hong Kong now and it's not a bad dream yet. It's just like a really bad curry - it just keeps coming back like today I got an email, paraphrased below:

"Errr, Mr Ed, please, what is the t-test and why did you choose chi^2 to prove that the pools work"

I've not answered yet but the short version will be:

"1. You're a dickhead. Go back to Hong Kong University and ask them Mr-I'm-so-great-I-got-a-first-in-statistics
2. Chi^2 is what the regulator wants, asshole"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

/rant
(Edmund <something funny>, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:56, )

*bounces back in*
w00t!

bar is closed, box office is closed, see I am but a blur.

hi Ed! welcome back to blighty.
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:59, )

*strokes Ed's forehead*
Calm, you safe home now. Don't let the naughty foreigners upset you.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 20:59, )

Woo
Great new image challenge! =o]

and with that... hi and bye... see y'all in the morning!
(No3L this crackling is really moreish, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:00, )

Hello
I have returned!
What have I missed, is there still cake?
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:00, )

Still much cake
*proffers*

How are you today Mrs Bin?
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:01, )

mmm, cake
and there's fizzy fizzwine waiting for me at home.

edit@ BGB - you could come north and bring the loon to Scotlandshire!
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:02, )

@BGB
....ahh, thanks for the headstroking action. Much appreciated.

Henry is doing his normal - sleeping at my feet here, and looking very cute about it too!
(Edmund <something funny>, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:05, )

@HLT
Fizzyfizzyness ftw!
(Edmund <something funny>, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:05, )

@Tulip
Well if everyone is busy in London I may do that. We were planning on going to Cumbria so carrying on further north would not be a problem.

I just figured he could kill two birds with one stone and see the London sights and some B3tans at the same time.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:06, )

yay, people coming north!
London sucks, don't go there. He's probably seen all the best bits on the telly anyway.
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:16, )

Well!
How rude!

Maybe I shalln't come to see you after all...
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:17, )

Congratulations on the new word, Kaol
Much better than "shan't". It's a rubbish word.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:19, )

Yep
I like it much better.

I tend to do that with words.
Like "I'lln't've".

It's pretty much Newspeak, with a hefty twist of lazyness.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:19, )

I know we have got an Embra bash lined up for 09
But would anyone be interested in meeting up in Embra before then?
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:22, )

Quite possibly hlt
Since I'm pretty close. Well, I am when I'm in Glasgow anyway.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:23, )

Maybe...
I fancy going somewhere cold in December.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:23, )

Much as I'd like to
I'm booked up for the remainder of the year. Saturdays anyway.

I'm rubbish like that.

@Kaol - Edinburgh's not much colder in December than it is just now. Actually, I should say that it's not much warmer now than it is in December.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:27, )

Will it snow?
I want snow :(
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:28, )

prolly not
It'll rain though. do you like rain?

right, show's over. I'm off.

*snogs everyone*
(happylittletulip has invented Pringles Hockey!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:31, )

Hmmm...
*rethinks*

Not so sure now...
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:32, )

'night HLT
*snogs back*

*snogs other parts too*

@Kaol - we have only about two small snows a year these days. Usually in January or February. Very rarely before New Year.

It's pish.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:35, )

Rubbish.
This re-affirms my desire to go to Moscow.

They have a term for the dead homeless people that they find in the April thaw. It translates as "Snow-Drops".
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:36, )

I think I'm going to have to start selling my furniture off
To pay for all these bashes. I've got one in Manchester and hopefully one in Leeds to pay for. I'm trying to get to Derby as well to mix with the non-qotwers.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:37, )

More steak tonight
Ballsed it up though. Forgot to leave it out of the fridge for 30 mins so it wouldn't get tough when I cooked it.
(scentless_apprentice takes two bottles into the shower!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:37, )

Friends of mine
were in Moscow for St Andrews night (30th Nov) a couple of years back. They went for a walk. They made it about 100m from their hotel before their trousers froze solid. It was -35°C, with a windchill making it feel even colder.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:39, )

*grins*
That's proper cold weather.

It'd give me an excuse to wear my seal-fur trousers too.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:40, )

St Andrews night or not
I wouldn't be wearing the kilt in that weather.

Unless I had polar bear skin boxers or something underneath.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:43, )

Yeah...
In other news, I want some of this:

www.medem.com.br/admin/produtos/LEBW4543689484.jpg

Oh, and in other other news, I'll be away tomorrow, site visit-fun-ness.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:45, )

That's brilliant
If I ever see any of it, I will buy you it.

I like Scottish winters. The winter of my first year at uni was lovely and cold and dry, and did actually snow at one point. It was loverly. However, since then it has rained a lot the next two years, and I fear this year shall go the same way, at least if summer is anything to go by.

In other news, my bass amp would appear to be dying rather quickly.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:56, )

I like the cold and snow too.
I'm just not a summer person.

I hate the rain though.

This rainy summer has really pissed me off.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 21:57, )

What's up with the amp PoD?
Sounds rubbish.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:03, )

I used to like cold weather
but not now. Summer's much better. I was getting used to 30°C days on holiday.

I do prefer cold frosty weather to wind and rain in winter though.

In 2006 it was mid December until I had to scrape ice from my car windscreen in the morning. At least we had some frost in October last year.

Global warming's crap. We're just going to have one big long season in Scotland soon. It'll be permanently 12°C and raining.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:05, )

The volume knob is playing up
And it doesn't give out sound sometimes. I'm presuming it's a connection problem, but haven't got round to opening it up and having a look at it yet. I will though.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:06, )

Could be a case of
The Ol'dirty pots.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:07, )

Kaol's right
Almost certainly a dirty or damaged volume pot. I fixed a Roland amp with half a dozen collapsed pots. It had suffered some damage and the pots were only held on by their shafts - the PCB was not otherwise supported.

Or possibly a poor contact on the normalling contact on your effects return jack, if it has such a thing. That was always a favourite failure point on Carlsbro combos.

Anyway, on that technical note, I think I'll be off to bed.
( K2k6 has seen Lesley Garrett naked, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:11, )

I'm up way past my bedtime.
Woo!
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:15, )

Ning everyone
What's all this London's shit, Edinburger's great? Who's hosting the next Olympics I asks ya?

and paying through the nose on council tax
( beckyjsbx http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/console_lines.png, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:15, )

Cheers guys
I've never really worked on amps much before, know some electronics but haven't ever done that much to be honest. Will have a look and try and do it myself, will see if anything looks out of the ordinary.

Evening becks, how are you m'dear? Feeling better and managed to eat anything?

Edinburgh FTW!
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:19, )

Hi becks
feeling better?

4th week in September. Mark it on your calender. Hopefully I'll be visiting London with the Resident Loon so we'll have to meet up one night.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:19, )

Feeling a lot better thanks
even went out for a bit as the neighbours were struggling with the keys for the rabbits house. Pretty much back to normal now :)

If you're going to be down here in September, can we maybe combine Ethelred's minibash with Loon's visit? Would be lovely to see you all in one place if that's possible
( beckyjsbx http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/console_lines.png, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:25, )

Ello everyone
I've just finished work and am going to have dinner now.

Miss Blouse - you're up late dear. Red wine gone to your knees?

EDIT - Re bashes - I shan't be up for another London one just yet, and there's the Southampton one at the same time as Ethel's, which seein' as I'm organising, I can't abandon. So I shall still remain ignorant of teh charms of the Loon.
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:30, )

( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:30, )

Hello blousey one
I have been...um...

looking for funders, reading funders criteria, discarding funders, rewriting my gumtree advert for lodgers, arguing with lodger, drafting legal agreements, drafting an offer to designers, arranging some paid work, trying to find a car to borrow to get to paid work, buying showers, running round in circles...

And that's all since 5pm.

I'm so glad I've soup in the freezer.

How's you miss? good journey back home?
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:34, )

I can't be doing with this
only having one computer business.

I turn up say hello and then hand the computer over to himself!

2 hours from London to Leeds and 1 hour from Leeds to my place.

I have a new car. A BMW. Tis very old and worn but goes like the clappers.

Like me! Yay!

Congrats on the car BGB
Evening ancrenne. Sounds like you have been far too busy.

I look forward to being older and hopefully being referred to as a designer. I think it will make me happy.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:38, )

oh miss blouse :)
that made me laugh :)

PoD - what do you design, or hope to? these are fashiony types i'm talking to...
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:41, )

PoD
No point waiting to be older.
It's not as much fun as you think.
The year after graduating has sucked...

Let's hope year two is better.
It's off to a good start, I've met a lovely lady, had lots of b3ta bashes and got some exciting new songs written.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:42, )

There's a Derby bash soon, a Manchester bash and maybe a Leeds bash so get a bloody railcard.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:43, )

Well I have two years of uni left still
Then that graduation thing. I would like to design either:
- Technological stuff
- Music equipment
- Outdoor equipment

Don't know if I'll actually manage any of those, but hopefully I will.

It's good busy honest :) I hope I don't sound like I'm complaining as I'm not, it's what I've wanted to do for ages, but setting up a business takes a shit lot of effort and work. And I helped people set them up before so I knew it would be like this, I just hadn't realised quite *how* like this it would be :)
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:47, )

I might...
...come to the Manchester bash. I am quite shy and I worry that I might not 'fit in'.
(scentless_apprentice takes two bottles into the shower!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:48, )

S A
You'll fit in fine.
Bring lube.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:49, )

Scentless
the only thing anyone seems to need to fit into at a bash is the 'i'm worried that I won't fit in' mould.

And then most people realise pretty fast that the mould is flexible. And we are all lovely.

Honest :)
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:50, )

I have signed up
for the beer and tents bash in Essex.

I'm not sure when I will be there as I may or may not be working.
I won't be staying as I don't have a tent.
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:52, )

Bloody hell, you've been busy A
I'd call that a successful year Kaol. Did you ever hear back from that cool sounding job in Bristol out of interest?

Edit: Trust me, if you fit in on here then you'll fit in even better in real life. I wont be at the Essex one :(
( beckyjsbx http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/console_lines.png, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:52, )

Sod it
I've put my name down.
(scentless_apprentice takes two bottles into the shower!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:54, )

@SC
Fit in....fit in....

If your on this website and no-one has told you to fuck off then you'll fit in.

Right, I'm off to bed.

Sweet dreams my young friends.
( big-girl's-blouse Wake me up when it's January, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:54, )

Hello becks, Mrs bin
Mrs Bin - which day will you be there? I'd love to meet you but am wondering if anyone will actually be there on the Saturday now.

You feeling better becks? progressed from toast?
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:54, )

G'night BGB
I won't be on tomorrow, on a site visit, so catch you Friday.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:55, )

Night BGB
I'm more apprehensive due to Kaol's threats of face rape. I don't want him to rape my face. It would make me cry.

I hear you had quite the night at the bash ancrenne.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:55, )

@ancrenne
I could go for Saturday.
It really all depends if I have a job or not.
Either way I'll not be working Saturday.
I think we could make that a date.
*is excited that someone wants to meet!*
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 22:56, )

Yeah, feeling much better thanks
Have gone for bananas and croissants this time :)

Edit: God you lot are on form tonight.

Night BGB

I'm sure some of the guys enjoyed the face rapes more than they let on PoD ,)

I want to meet you Mrs L
( beckyjsbx http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/console_lines.png, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:00, )

Night BGB
Quite the night y'say? Well. Um... I did get a bit well really quite a lot squiffy. And showed people my previous drunken injury. I did not wee myself though.

And Mrs Bin - COURSE I want to meet you! I really love putting names to faces and properly meeting the people I witter away at all day long!

Bananas ans croissants becks? Top choice!

*hopes Saturday works for more than just us*

*nonchalantly shouts vegan biscuits*

*whistles, still nonchalant like*
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:04, )

Mrs L...
If you get ancrenne, you get me :p

PoD, I'm lovely really, ask anyone who met me before!
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:04, )

*squeaks*
Are you going to the beer fest then Becks?

edit - so Kaol, you are saying that to meet Acrenne I have to put up with being face raped?

edit v1.01
vegan biscuits? Can do!
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:04, )

Mrs. L,
As I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread, I'm incapable of making inappropriate moves on women...

Too much of a gentleman.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:08, )

I think he only goes for the guys
Are you tender, Kaol?

Yay for rubbish programmes on sky 3. Love them.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:09, )

Tastes of win
I was down to go to the camping trip, but wont be able to afford it now. Will hopefully/probably be at the minibash Ethelred's organising though.

Edit: Bed time, night all x
( beckyjsbx http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/console_lines.png, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:09, )

PoD...
Are you tender?
*licks lips*


*shudders*

Ok... I've creeped myself out there.
*twitches*

Oh, g'night Becky!
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:12, )

Night becks
Mrs Bin, I promise, you are safe from Kaol. Bearded boys especially are not, but you'll be fine.

Sky 3 Pod? I have real trash on five US... An action thriller with Steven Seagal...

EDIT - oh, and PoD - Kaol actually is lovely. He tries hard to look like it but he can't hide it. Well, he can disguise it ;) But not for long.
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:14, )

@ancrenne
Did you ever try the Toad in the Hole?
Also, can you cook with 'Pure' just the same as you can butter or marg?

Night Becks

edit - If I bring Mr Bin will he get face raped then?
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:15, )

I have no beard, so feel slightly better
I also typed 'bread' instead of 'beard' at first.

I have Road Wars on sky 3. It's really quite awful.

Yay, I caused Kaol to be freaked out. I'm proud.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:16, )

To be fair,
I did it to myself...
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:16, )

Mrs Bin
I use Pure for baking, frying, making sauces. it cooks to a high temperature quite happily, as does oat milk and even the Sheese pretend cheese I get. I use the green one, the soya one, as it;s fortified with b12 and all those things.

I haven't tried Yorkshires yet - been so busy I have eating things on toast or stuff I've frozen when I've been organised :)
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:22, )

@ancrenne
Thanks, I shall make some vegan biscuits in that case. Hurrah.

*worries about Mr Bin getting face raped*
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:24, )

He's perfectly safe.
Although I like his pretty illustrations.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:25, )

hooray mrs bin!
Might be worth doing a taste test - Pure hasn't the flavour of butter, so I often add a tiny bit of salt or some cinnamon or something to sweet stuff.

Road Wars PoD? That beats Seagal hands down.
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:28, )

@Kaol
And why would you not want to face rape him?
*jokes*
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:29, )

Because I don't want you to beat me up :(
I know what Ipswich women are like...
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:30, )

I might live here
*worries about the amount of information Kaol remembers*

but I'm not local.
You can tell, I don't have any extra fingers or toes.
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:32, )

I remember huge amounts of information.
Unless alcohol is involved.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:33, )

I think I have seen almost all episodes of it now
Very few of them are good.

I'm still happy about having my drumkit back now. I can now set up my musical corner of my room in my new flat, which will get even better if I get round to buying the PA kit I plan to.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:35, )

If all the places that people
accused of being inbred in the UK actually were, would there be anywhere left over?
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:35, )

i can't remember anything
except useless information that is only good in a pub quiz.

*edit* Ancrenne. The number of children that where haemophiliacs at my last job was quite upsetting.
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:36, )

There's a village near me
And they really are very inbred.
There're three families in that village.
About 200 people.

Lots of them are very short (about 5 foot) and very stocky.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:40, )

people round here are very short.
Mr Bin is 6ft 4 and people here sometimes stop and stare!
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:44, )

Ooohhh
I wasn't doubting it, no no. I'm from Wales, and the valleys, by nature of their geography, can cause some problems. EDIT - in one place about, um, twenty minutes from me in Wales, there were three main surnames (I'd say 60%) in a district with up to 600 people.

Just wondering if there are are as many places as people suggest as everywhere seems to have their local 'normal for Norfolk' equivalent.

I mean, I *have* been to the isle of wight ;)
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:45, )

Yeah,
I remember walking down the high street and feeling pretty big.
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:45, )

In Norfolk
they refer to people at Beccles as being inbred.
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:48, )

I keep feeling short these days
Although I'm not really that short.



What a rubbish sentence that was.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:49, )

I generally feel
tired these days.
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:54, )

I spent most of today at work
Being very, very angry.

Waiting for someone to email me back.
Then when they did, after I'd sent a shitty email to them, they appologised.
Because their office is in Texas... And they'd just got there for the day...
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:58, )

And so to bed
night all.
(Mrs Liveinabin is not ill anymore!, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:59, )

Oh dear Kaol
those pesky time differences and pesky memory lapses...
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Wed 27 Aug 2008, 23:59, )

Nobody had told me!
It was for the East Anglian something-or-the-other Magazine.
And the guy was based in Texas...
WTF?

EDIT: G'night Mrs. L!
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Thu 28 Aug 2008, 0:00, )

That's just strange
Why be based there? Makes not the sense.

Nevermind the buzzcocks ftw!!! Woo.
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Thu 28 Aug 2008, 0:02, )

Night Mrs bin
I'll be off soon, I can;t stop yawning.

This Seagal film is too poor even to be so bad it's good entertaining.
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Thu 28 Aug 2008, 0:09, )

I'll be off soon too
Driving to Brighton in the morning.

Woo...

And I miss the new QOTW! Yay!

*grins*
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Thu 28 Aug 2008, 0:12, )

Night all
Or both, as I think it is now.

Have fun in that place that I've forgotten that you're driving to tomorrow.

It's nearly the weekend!!
(PenguinOfDeath is still looking for cheap drums, Thu 28 Aug 2008, 0:15, )

Yeah!
Nearly the weekend means it's nearly back-in-Southampton-time!
(Kaol - Slicing your meats into bite-sized chunks, Thu 28 Aug 2008, 0:16, )

Right
I can't stop yawning

or typing yawning as ywaning so I clearly need sleep.

Night *waves*
(ancrenne pimpin' www.gothcloth.co.uk for a mate, Thu 28 Aug 2008, 0:18, )

G'night!
I'm off too.
