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

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.)

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

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

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.

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

― 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.

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.

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!"

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!)

― g000blar (g00blar), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Mitya, are you coming to the FAP tomorrow?

― tissp! (tissp!), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 10:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Ribs update not that anyone's interested :

nu X-Ray sez 3 cracked, 1 semi-sprung, but not as bad as first thought.

Quack : you won't be playing for 3-4 months
Mrs. Dr. C : so it's time to finish for good then.

So I've set my comeback for our traditional boxing day game. I've played in it for the last 20+ years and I'm buggered if I'm missing it this year.

In case none of you are reading the SC thread - Kate 0, food poisoning 1

(I don't mean none of you, I mean some of you)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 13:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh noes! I'll go and give my condolences . . .

mitya, see here:

thread for hstencil being in london (FAP, King's Arms, Waterloo, Dec 7th), and also for hstencil, aldo, ailsa and many more being at ATP and making PLANS to DRINK BEER (or cider)

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 23:48 (seventeen years ago) link

FP stay away from THAT thread (not the one above, you know the one I mean)

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 23:57 (seventeen years ago) link

Morning! Too late!

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 7 December 2006 09:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello! You will get a reputation now!

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 09:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, like I haven't already...

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 7 December 2006 09:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Well , you have now.

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 10:15 (seventeen years ago) link

HAHAHAHA

Tissp commented on that list I posted and someone replied

no. 24 is a great album. I may have spoken to this person on the Secret Machines forum on Last.fm. She's one of those fangirls.

Who do you think they're talking about? ;)

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 10:37 (seventeen years ago) link

ha ha ha ha poor kate.

Is Kate still ill? Or is she "ill"?

(Oh, and how was SC last night? Did she turn up? And did anyone puke?)

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 7 December 2006 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Kate must be legendary in TSM circles.

I hope Benjamin wasn't there and she didn't puke on him.

Hello, I'm back and somewhat slightly worse for wear.

Went out for dinner with Dare on Tuesday night to a super duper posh restaurant (when it's on Pop, it's on Pop) and had an amazing slap-up posh meal - roquefort and leek souffle, wild mushroom rissotto... split a bottle of wine between us and home on the tube by 10.30.

At 4am, I'm woken by blinding stomach cramps. Started vomiting at 5am, didn't stop vomiting until about 1pm. Great bowels of fire. It's not a hangover, trust me, I know what a hangover feels like, there's no headache, no fuzziness, just racking pain and vomiting. I thought I was going to die. :-(

Anyway, I'm finally trying solid food this morning, for the first time in about 36 hours. Just hope that I keep it down. Ginger tea is my friend.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 11:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Glad you're ok. Did the gig go ok?

How does it feel to be a TSM legend btw?

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 11:58 (seventeen years ago) link

My girlfriend was also sick the other night, Kate. It seems to be going round (I don't feel too good either). Hope you'll be feeling better by tonight, though!

― tissp! (tissp!), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:00 (seventeen years ago) link

No, it didn't. I really don't want to talk about it.

I'm a TSM legend? Ha ha ha! I'm not even the squealiest fangirl on the board! That would be Mel or Lisa! We are legion.

x-post no, it's not a catchy thing at all. Dare didn't even have so much as a hiccough. My stomach feels a bit weird for having solid food in it. But I hope it shall pass.

― masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Or you hope it doesn't..

― pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 7 December 2006 12:12 (seventeen years ago) link

It's a real shame you can't see this at work Kate
