Actually, ignore everything I say as I actually mean MONDAY

Yes, the new Shimuras Line-up:

When is "Higher than a Kite" single coming out btw?

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Grrrrr. I wish I came with an erase button.

Like, when something is really, really, REALLY winding me up, I could press that button, and the irritant idea would just go away.

I know that now is not the time to be dealing with this, and it's something which needs to be resolved after the next few days are got through. But it's just so hard keeping a lid on that anger.

Some people never quite grasp the idea that their actions have consequences. :-(

Argh! I keep forgetting when I go into Flickr, I can't look at my contacts because Aussie Kate has NAKED PEOPLE on hers. Blimey!

Blimey indeed.

They are VERY naked.

They're not just slightly naked, they're *extremely* naked.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Now, I wouldn't mind if they were, you know, pointy nosed boys in their birthday suits, but they are very naked ladies!

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:42 (seventeen years ago) link

If you go back through her stuff she does have a mostly naked boy painted blue.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 15:49 (seventeen years ago) link

That is her brother, pretending to be Krishna, I believe. I have already seen those.

I don't just want dancing boys on stage. I want them in every aspect of my life, following me around and dancing and being all hott and stuff. OK, they might get in the way in the office a bit. The rest of the time they could just sit behind me and fan me with palm leaves or feed me dates or something.

Why was I not born a Pharoah? It just isn't fair.

How can you be slightly naked?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

You can be slightly naked, as in you have no clothes on, but your bits are still obscured or covered by other aspects of your limbs and stuff.

Or you can be VERY naked where everything is, just like, you know, hanging out there on display.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:38 (seventeen years ago) link

As in... Christine Keeler, slightly naked:

Look, they can do the Banned Stronger Dance, too:

Bring on the Shimura Souzaphone.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Our new polka direction...

Especially if we get dancing boys that hang upside down off each other and slap each others' asses in leather pants. Yeah!

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:54 (seventeen years ago) link

polka dot dresses are nothing without beer pretzels and tight trousered arse slapping.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I feel faint at the thought.

And PBW keeps posting pictures of Cthulhus. I'm very tempted to send him a link to Hello Cthulhu but that might be mean. Then again, sometimes a squid is just a squid.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Apropo of absolutely nothing... I've been reading Ian Sinclair! Even though I decided he was rubbish, I gave him another chance.

And the first Rolling London M25 Walk he does is up the River Lee Or Lea!!!!!!!! With Bill Drummond!

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:00 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost, perhaps you should offer him cookies and ribbons

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got some leather trousers, but they're not tight - they're a bit big for me.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I think he might object. He doesn't seem to approve of being crushed on. I think it confuses him. (Or maybe it confuses me.)

What is the point of leather trousers if they are not tight? Have them taken in, FP.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

For the life of me, I cannot find the lyrics to "Studying Economy", dammit.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Isn't it time for "WC" number -1 yet?

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:41 (seventeen years ago) link

No. Because that would be admitting that we might be here for some time. Use the foldback option.

(OK, this annoys me, as it means that cute boys disappear every 50 posts, but still.)

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:46 (seventeen years ago) link

anyway we should be increasing by SQRT(-1) as thehold is imaginary

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 17:58 (seventeen years ago) link

I wonder if I dare sneak out 15 minutes early. OK, I finished the thing they asked me to do way early!

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 18:10 (seventeen years ago) link

So the next thread would be Watercooler i? Or Watercooler j?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I have used both expressions.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 19:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Watercooler i would be cool. I've nearly finished my book about the zeta function now, so it would somewhat appropriate.

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 20:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Engineers use j because i conflicts with something else, I can remember several other uses for i.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 20:38 (seventeen years ago) link

It's "current" in electrical stuff, isn't it?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:33 (seventeen years ago) link

yes, upper case I is second moment of area in mechanics

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

current is CAPITAL I

xpost

― nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:39 (seventeen years ago) link

from wikipedia

'the variable for electric current. Sometimes both "I" and "i" are used for static and small signal respectively. Therefore the imaginary unit is represented by j instead.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 5 December 2006 22:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey All.

Anyone bought the new Circulus single? Rise Above are expensive and I don't think HMV.co.uk have any left of the colour vinyl.
Want to know what the b-side is like and if the a-side is remixed and different to the album version.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 08:32 (seventeen years ago) link

No but I did get tempted into the green vinyl delia derbyshire record from boomcat yesterday evening.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 08:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Rise Above have a 2nd press colour vinyl of the Circulus album now.
I did order the Witchcraft 7" a few weeks back from them. If they had the Circulus 7" then i would've combined the order.

Has anyone heard the new Ghost album yet? It's great!

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 08:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't even listened to a CD for months, let alone any vinyl. It's all digital these days, folks.

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 09:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Morning!

I have just ordered someone a bouquet for the first time ever! Cunningly timed to appear at her house just as her ex is visiting. She does know about it, though.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 09:20 (seventeen years ago) link

TSM got in the NME albums of the year list.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 09:52 (seventeen years ago) link

I remember the first time I ordered a bouquet for someone, it was cool. Didn't work tho. But isn't ordering it just as the ex is visiting known in technical circles as shit-stirring?

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes. The recipient approves of this, though - we have discussed it.

Me: "I'd better not send you flowers if he's visiting you"

Her: "Oh, don't let that stop you, it'll keep him on his toes!"

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Me: "Can you untie me now"

Her: "Wait until the wax cools!"

hi / bye all! off to airport soon. see someone at the SC gig tonight, i hope. i will look like this only more tired and probably vaguely deer-in-the-headlights-ish.

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Hey!

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Mitya! Might you come to the gig on Saturday?

― g000blar (g00blar), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I am quite curious about the circumstances which would cause someone to be using the imaginary unit and the symbol for electric current in the same context.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:37 (seventeen years ago) link

likely but cannot promise, g00b

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:45 (seventeen years ago) link

OK cool. Safe travels!

(and good morning!)
