That space shuttle photo is indeed very cool.

I'm in firefox and we get an image broken if half thing. Like this, but without the green smiley thing:

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Monday, 11 December 2006 16:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, dagnamit.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Monday, 11 December 2006 16:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Exactly like that, in fact!

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 11 December 2006 16:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I do apologise for my outburst.

I can simply no longer keep up with FP's conquests and it's making me jealous sick.

If I am not having sex, and cannot even foresee the possibility of sex*, it's quite difficult to listen to people bragging on and on about their various conquests.

*Unless of course, the collective members of the 'Cooler send round a collection plate and approach PBW, asking "PLEASE, for the love of GOD would you sleep with Kate and put us out of her misery. We will pay you. And bribe you with this barrel of ::your favourite tipple:: and the Tom Waits box set.

Oh noes!

What Strokes member are you?

I think FP enjoys being the watercooler sex god.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 11 December 2006 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh! BTW, Ed! If you are still reading.

Dare is back in town - I asked her if she fancied Magpies Nest, but she's bursting full of gossip, so I suspect that we are going to go somewhere we can sit and chatter and now worry about disturbing other people listening to music. Coz the two of us are pretty much incapable of being quiet when we are together. :-)

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sorry, Kate, I'll shut up.

I can't see myself ever being any sort of sex god, Kerr.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:17 (seventeen years ago) link

It's OK, FP. That's just why I'm trying to make a joke of it, rather than being properly cranky.

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, K.

Ed (dali), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Don't let the iguana poison you again.

Ed (dali), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:24 (seventeen years ago) link

The iguana wasn't even there last time! I am going to INSIST that we do not eat in the hotel. I may even grab a pasty before I head over.

She wants to go ice skating.

Oh a completely different note:

Errrr... no comment on what little drummer brother is doing, but wow, blimey, look at that smile. Megamillionwatt smile brighterthanthesun supernovadazzlingdentistry. I wonder what magnitude Henrietta Leavitt would have made of that.

::melts in little pool under desk::

No, go away, I'm not doing any more financial analyses today, I'm being a little gooey girl.

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Bimey, that's big! Actual size, perhaps!

Would someone mind smallifying that? It wasn't that big on MySpace!

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

That's what FP says the goth girl in his office said.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Quit it!

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Jill was talking to the woman who lives in the house behind us. Apparently her son (the guy from that "neighbour trouble" thread I started a couple of years ago) actually moved out a couple of months ago, and now lives w/his g/f a mile or so away from us. Life gets a little better sometimes, eh. (though I pity his new neighbours)

Norman Phay (Pashmina), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:16 (seventeen years ago) link

The iguana was paying therefore it is his fault ;-P

Ed (dali), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Apparently the iguana is doing a photo shoot tonight.

Like, a proper photo shoot where they're going to be, errr, *styled* and shit. This is why Dare is escaping to go ice skating cause she says if anyone tries to put makeup on the other little drummer brother, he will actually punch them.

Oh, thank the gods of phuck, Pash. He's someone else's problem now. Hopefuly your neighbourhood can sleep a little easier now.

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:21 (seventeen years ago) link

How come Canadians always have so many TEETH?!?!

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:22 (seventeen years ago) link

...and don't say Canadian national dentistry. ;-)

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Dude was born in Clapham!

g000blar (g00blar), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, my cousin was born in Ireland, but he's got Canadian teeth like that!

Ha ha, I can call him Fake Britishes now. (Jim, not my cousin.)

Oh, and BTW, I found my green card - it was tucked safely inside my passport so I'm not fake Merkin any more. Well, *legally* fake Merkin.

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I live five minutes away from Clapham and let me tell you, most people from Clapham got teeth from the Big Book Of British Smiles.

That is Canadian dentistry at its finest.

Shit, I gotta get out of here and get to Kensington. Ah well, at least they're not in the Dorchester this time.

masonic boom (kate), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Quit it!

Nah I don't get the impression she said that to him.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Monday, 11 December 2006 18:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Gargh, I have been struck down with some kind of gastric lurgy, I've had to curtail my evening.

Ed (dali), Monday, 11 December 2006 20:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello there.

Someone tried to kick one of my car windows in last night. The driver's door window. Whilst I was sat in the driving seat. I hate this town sometimes.

No, I mean all the time.

Kate might be interested to know that one of my goth friend's male friends is ginger, freckled, pointy-nosed, and plays guitar.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 08:56 (seventeen years ago) link

The car has started splooging oil out of the bottom of the engine. It looks like it's going to be expensive.

Norman Phay (Pashmina), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 09:43 (seventeen years ago) link

I sweated a poor sleep last night and I feel pretty grim this morning. Cheer me up.

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 09:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Pfunk boy, I received gifts from the faeries last night but I haven't had a chance to listen to them yet. I wasn't feeling up to it. I haven't even spun the shiny green delia derbyshire record yet.

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 09:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Did you hear about the herb that didn't pay his mortgage?

He ran out of thyme and the bayleafs came round!

(did it work?)

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 09:47 (seventeen years ago) link

It is certainly helping.

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Uuuuuuhhhh, JB, that was a classic. It made my entire department groan.

Oh no, Ed - gastric flu? You mean maybe it wasn't food poisoning that I had? Rubb.

Bah to car trouble and chav trouble.

This morning I am mainly squabbling with my actual brother about Winter Consumerfest. What funs. He thinks I object to the baby jesus. I'm fine with baby jesus, I just object to the national obsessed with debt and consumerist frenzy. Soon we will be arguing about economics, and I'll call him a Tory and he'll call me the L-word. Hurrah!

masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:05 (seventeen years ago) link

How's your bronchial trouble - Norman?

Dr.C (Dr.C), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:18 (seventeen years ago) link

could be, last night turned into a bit of a bust.

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I've just had a hot chocolate and that appears to have been a bad idea. I forgot to bring any peppermint tea in with me.

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed, two words: GINGER. TEA.

How's your ribs, doing, Dr. C?

Bah, it's like a casualty ward in here with us lot!

here is a smily DDB to cheer me us all up:

Though ha ha, I narrowly avoided being dragged back into the restaurant that started my whole ordeal by St00g3s last night. Ron got me in a TISSP-lock and tried to drag me into the elevator going "come on, Kate! it can't hurt you just to drink up there!" and I was all noooooooooo and ran away down Kensington High Street. :-)

masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:25 (seventeen years ago) link

(I would not reccomend making tea out of Benjamin, even if he is ginger, though. He might squeak a bit when you got him in the pot and poured boiling water on him. Though redheads don't feel pain, do they?)

masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Ribs are not too bad, thx Kate. But I think I have aggrovated a long-standing back problem by continually bending and stretching awkwardly to keep the ribs protected. I could hardly bend down last night, but it seems much better now. Time will tell. I have two targets to be fit for a) nu-band rehearsal next week and b) rugby on boxing day.

Dr.C (Dr.C), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi all! Finally got round to registering.

Sorry to hear about people's bodily and automobile troubles etc, but also always happy to read a good pun of a Tuesday morning :)

I seem to have spent more time at the ante-natal clinic than at my house this last week - was measuring a bit small so many scans followed and I might have to be induced early due to low levels of amniotic fluid :(

Will find out what the consultant wants to do this afternoon - I may be a mum in the next few days!! Arrgh!!!!

Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Omigod, so soon, Arch! Still, I hope everything goes OK and you and Junior are as healthy as possible. At least if you are induced, then you know approximately when baby will arrive, as opposed to unscheduled delivery (hunh hunh) on Christmas eve...

masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:53 (seventeen years ago) link

The pun went down well among the pun fans in our office too.

(ie, me, and Karen the accounts supervisor)

Good luck Archel!

If the sprog *was* born on Christmas Eve, you could traumatise him/her tell him/her that he/she was brought by Father Christmas!

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 10:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Good (late) morning, all! Best of luck, Archel! Baby soon!

I wrote a whole song last night!

g000blar (g00blar), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 11:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Hurrah for songwriting! What's it called, what does it sound like?

masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 11:42 (seventeen years ago) link

It's called 'Rest up for Night', I wrote it in like TWO HOURS, and it sounds like POWER POP (ok, at times I was sure I was ripping off the following bands: the pixies, guided by voices, spoon, the smiths--no joke--but by the end, as usual, it's safe to say it sounds like none of these).

g000blar (g00blar), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 11:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Yay to baby archel, and mummy and daddy archel, come to that. Many good lucks - I'll ensure everything is crossed for you.

Yay to power-pop songwriting indeed - I hope it's a keeper, and not one you THINK is great, but you'll look at this evening and go "nah, it's nonsense".

I've been whistling "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" all morning. I realise now that I'm part of the problem rather than the solution.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah serious, JB. That's happened so many times, of course. I'm gonna do a little demo today which will hopefully help me determine whether it's the best song of all time or merely yet another drop in the ocean.

g000blar (g00blar), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 12:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Wow, I almost never get that feeling. If a song survives long enough to get written properly, then I almost certainly know it's a keeper.

masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 12:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed> You're welcome. I think Kate will love love love those gifts from the wizard.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 12:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I have no idea whether I am Ill or just hungry now.

Ed (dali), Tuesday, 12 December 2006 12:20 (seventeen years ago) link
