UK Watercooler Whatever: Searching For The New Sound

Though aren't you Scottish? You're supposed to be able to laugh at sub zero temperatures and arctic winds! It's Socialist to have everyone the same temperature as outside!

Hi, JB. Sorry you're feeling rub. It's that time of year, there's a lot of it going around. Go home and do something that you really enjoy, that you can really lose yourself in.

I was probably playing mine all wrong. But I suppose you can't really go too far wrong with three strings...

Can I post some more cute pictures, or should I get me to a Shush of Crame thread?

Mmmmmm, cake. We should have had cake last night. But then again, I was stuffed after the pielettes.

... and after you've had a wank, things will look better! Or you'll be sleepy.

Cake's a good idea though. Banana cake always makes me happy, I'll make that. I think I've got some bananas that are just about to turn, so perfect for cake.

Somebody's birthday at work, sio I've just been given some saisbury's snarties chosolate cake. ALl bought cakes arew a travesty, but this one is really wrong, like a badly-phrased metaphor.

It's the one on the left, isn't it? Pointy nose, looks like Alex Blur (in that pic)..

Amirite?

Oh wait, he likes Jazz. OK, I can live with that. He will have to listen to jazz in the shed and keep it in a cage because I diapprove of jazz running around free.

Anyway, here is a better picture of that dress:

This would be an AMAZING shirt. I would quite simply love it as a shirt. But she has forgotten to put on trousers! Go home, girl! You look cold!

Really? Unless you mean in the sense of "a moment ago I was horny and orgasmic, now I'm neither". Though if you're miserable already I can see how it might contribute to a further feeling of deflation.

It looks better on her as well.

Hi. I second the bananas advice. Over the last few years, natural "remedies" (e.g. bran cereal & yogurt for disgestion issues, turkey for insomnia) have worked well for me.

That is some GOOD paisley. Especially the way it clashes with the wallpaper. Shame about the weasley little tosser in the background, though. ;-P

I thought that said Pipettes.

Does anyone want to see hot fuzz next week, possibly on tuesday?

Oh, that reminds me (eye bending paisley) that I finally brought in the picture of my mural, so I should post it. It's almost the same colours as Julian's shirt there.

I was stuffed after the pielettes.

I thought that said Pipettes.

I thought you said pilates.

it could be a beautiful dress, but it just looks uncomfortable.

(x-post - no, "that hot" for me being eg louise brooks, but I do think she is pretty, & has nice legs.)

I always intend to buy kippers but I never do!!

Anyway, thanks to Gooblar, here is the wall in my bedroom. This was intended for "art in your home" but that's in the Other Place now.

Did anything interesting at all happen? Apart from that dress?

HEY! I'm supposed to be working. I am in the maths groove.

I'm sure I put some 5ive on those dvdrs.

After reading that short biog I looked up expecting to see Ned's name there for some reason...

Also, isn't flying from Dublin to Glasgow for St. Patricks Day a bit... backwards?

LemonGinger tea has no caffeine. I need to keep a drip. Hence the green tea methadone, which has less tea than either coffee or black tea.

I am going to go home and eat my last avocado of lent. :-(

Oh dear, we are such geeks.

Just realised why S's CD went missing - she gave me TOTALLY the wrong post code.

KILL KILL KILL my entire family needs their heads knocking together.

Why, what are your family doing now, Suzy?

This is the same one you met. He was on a flying visit to Dublin yesterday and the day before.

Also, isn't flying from Dublin to Glasgow for St. Patricks Day a bit... backwards?

'Tis the beauty of the thing. Ever since they Americanized Patrick's Day, well everyone just goes out and gets really drunk. In the old days everyone just stayed home and looked at the rain.

I just got asked for the Oracle passwords, ha ha, it's kinda pathetic that I'm really the only person that knows them. What if I was hit by a bus?

(No, seriously, he's a hound.)

It does seem daft that only one person in your office has those passwords.

Most things the Sys Admin can just hack into. But not the old Oracle system. Mwah hah hah hah. They actually had to dig out my old workstation out of storage to get back into it - I only recognised it because of the curry stains on the front.

x-post me, too.

I don't know what is the best thing to do.

Wait, does "hound" mean like "dog" as in unattractive or "dog" as in slut?

If he's a slut, that means he might not be very choosy which means I might stand a chance at getting laid and... no wait, STOP that thought right there. La la la la la. Oracle programming, green tea, funky dollar bill, la la la la.

I mean, to use my mother's terminology, that he would get up on the crack of dawn. However, he likes ladies who are prepared to run around after him, sit by his hospital bed, and listen to his endless stories about how great all his comedian pals are, so I would advise against him.

Boiled sweets no good. It is a chesty, inhalery kind of a cough. Like spasms. I guess I'll just see how I feel when I get there and if I'm coughing too much I'll just leave.

No, I don't like high maintainance boys who have to be too looked after. That's no good. I think I just need to get laid, not actually have to run around paying attention to someone, bah.

Ah, is it the coughing fit, can't stop kind of a cough? I've had those all week and the only thing to do about them is leave the room and gasp for air and maybe drink some cold water. Yuck.

I too had pancakes for supper!

Kerr, some of teh Glasgow folks are meeting for a wee pint tomorrow night --> Shall We Try Glasgow Some More?
around 7pm. You should FAP.

Suzy you will be about and around when I'm there, yes?

OK, I am finally out of the maths trance and I have sorted out that stupid bloody HowAmIWanking report. Bah. Now how can I goof off for the rest of the day?

btw I forgot to mention on monday that my dad got his car back. Never heard anymore from police or insurance company about the lorry driver. So Looks like he got away with it.

Oh hell yes. Your place (I assume), the 8th. How many people can we get in there?

Accentmonkey - how long will you be in Glasgow, if you come over? Would be nice to meet up since we all arsed it up so badly the last time.

Seriously, 10-15 I guess.

(Ed, I need some Zermatt advice.)

Yes, it would. I don't know yet, but mostly likely Friday till Sunday, with for definite being at Full Mooners on Saturday night, except that I don't know where it's on.

I did go to the theatre last night and didn't cough too much. I did almost punch the people next to me, though, who didn't really get Mamet dialogue and whispered theories to each other about what was going on all through the second act. Stupid people. Of course I suppose (she said snobbily) that that's the risk you run when you go to see plays that have TV people in them.

To get there get the train from the airport (both geneva and zurich have stations in the airport). You can get what is known as a Swiss Transfer ticket from http://www.sbb.ch/ which is cheaper than an ordinary ticket which covers you from the airport/border to your final destination. If you fly with Swiss they can check your luggage through to the railway station at the end of the journey.

You can buy passes in advance on-line, but it costs a little extra for the reusable rfid card, see http://www.zermatt.ch/

For good apres ski, get to the Hennu Stall on the last run between Furi and the main town.

In the evening Paperlapub and the sneewitchen seem to be pretty reliable.

Any thoughts on which end/part of town to stay in? Last time I was there was five or six years ago, and I'm finding it difficult to differentiate Zermatt memories from Val d'Isere ones (I remember the caipirinhas quite clearly, but after that all is a blur :).

My colleague has intimated that he may not be around much longer, and that I might want to lock in some vacation sooner, because it may be difficult to get time off later.

It's -20 out today and somehow skiing is just not exciting me much, but I can't find anything else particularly interesting or reasonably priced for mid-March. :(
