Well done!

Better?

That is definitely not as bad, yes.

Could someone please remove that image? Mods?

My TWO (count 'em!) accrued holiday days went on ATP, which probably kick-started my body's collapse.

I am investigating the possibility of claiming incapacity benefit for a week right now but the forms are hella long for the sake of £60.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 10:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I'd fill out long forms for £60.

First result on a GIS for pointy nose

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:04 (seventeen years ago) link

that looks like a round of catchphrase.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:07 (seventeen years ago) link

It does, doesn't it? "Is it pointy nose, Roy?" "ah, it's good, but it's not right"

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, I can't even be bothered to google for pointy noses. I looked at some Dylan Morans and some Jared Harrisses and just couldn't get a care on. Even the Pointiest Boy in the World doesn't really seem to do it for me right now. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Though that could be because at the moment, he's just another person who doesn't return my email. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Or he is running around catching up with old mates in americky, and has little access to a computer?

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:50 (seventeen years ago) link

I would still send an email going "I gotcha email, but don't have time to respond to it right now..." like I did to him last week.

I just think I should end the thing now before it turns obsessional and horrible.

But I am in "withdraw before anyone else can hurt you" mode right now.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Some people are fundamentally rubbish at email. Sometimes people just don't do it when they're away. I know I try not to when I'm on holiday. I go as far as turning off the Blackberry sometimes.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:57 (seventeen years ago) link

for future reference, kate, never write me an e-mail.

― substitute, mitya for him (mitya), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 11:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Perhaps he does not have access to email at all and cannot send you even so much as an apologetic email?

(I shall be interwebless for FIVE whole days next week!)

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:03 (seventeen years ago) link

No, no, no, this is mixing up about 3 or 4 different situations with different people into one giant thing which is not actually a giant thing but a combination of different little things.

This is the problem with being a systems person, that you collect everything into patterns, whether they belong in them or not.

I feel so naked without my phone, too. I've given my mobile to my mum for the week, so I don't even know if people are calling or texting me. And because I don't know, I assume they're not, which is also spiralling me down into EVERYBODY HAAAAAAATES ME!!! territory. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Some people are fundamentally rubbish at email.

*waves*

I've upset several people in the past by not answering email straight away - particularly on one site whose internal messaging system shows you whether or not your sent mail has been read by the recipient yet.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Should I go to Edinburgh and learn to be a Brewer?

http://www.postgraduate.hw.ac.uk/course/118/

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:11 (seventeen years ago) link

x-post This is absolute rubbish, and creates more problems than it solves.

For every "oh, he just hasn't read the mail yet!" there's a hundred "oh, he's READ it, he just isn't replying - because he HAAAAAAAATES me!"

I'd just rather not know whether they've read it or not.

But I am taking a whole bunch of other upset about other email which has not been responded to, and instead of dealing with it, in those situations (because I just don't know how to) I am taking it and projecting it onto the totally innocent PBW who really has done nothing wrong. (Except not fancy me.)

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:13 (seventeen years ago) link

That looks like the best course ever, Ed!

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:14 (seventeen years ago) link

In actual fact I posted on this thread in error; for some reason I got it mixed up with the Joe Barbera thread (?) but Mark E made a relevant comment and I responded to it without clocking where it was.

It is not an error I propose to repeat.

For future reference, however, I would like to state that I'm not going to be dissuaded from speaking to and with people I like on these boards by bullies, particularly by one who should consider herself extremely lucky not to have been kicked off these boards altogether months ago.

Also, what is all this about "the history between us"? There is no "us." Deal with it.

End of transmission.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Anyway... what would you do with a brewers degree, Ed? Start a microbrewery? Surely you would drink all your profits?

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe I could have my own farm based microbrewery, brew beer and feed my pigs the spent malt after mashing.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:23 (seventeen years ago) link

And cheese. Gotta figure out a way to make cheese, as well. Perhaps some apple orchards, and do a sideline in cider? Plus, you could feed the excess apples to the pigs.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Everything on the internet I see today is annoying me for some reason. Maybe I'll get some work done, eh.

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Bah, I know the feeling, Pash. I always hope it will help me get work done, but I'm kinda compulsive and can't stop looking at things that irritate me. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Mmm, drunken pig sausage.

"Hello, Kate, I am a pointy-nosed cheese farmer!"

― suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:32 (seventeen years ago) link

You misspelled "cock farmer" there, Suzy.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Awww, Alex. :-)

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41008000/jpg/_41008910_alex1_203.jpg

He's Country Life's new poster boy. They say that he's going to do the farming report on Radio 4 from now on. I might actually start listening to Radio 4 in that case...

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, there was a big article in the MOS this weeken'

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Not even Alex could make me read the MOS. My mum bought the Sunday Times and I found even that tough going.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:48 (seventeen years ago) link

When all else fails, there is always Alex:

http://www.nme.com/images/84_AlexJames_L060406.jpg

I wish he would sell his cheese outside the Cotswolds, though.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:51 (seventeen years ago) link

You have to be up mighty early in the morning to catch farming today.

I got a thingy from liberty offering an extra 10% off sale prices till new years eve. I think I know here I'm going on the morning of the 27th.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:52 (seventeen years ago) link

Oooh! My mum and I want to go to the Liberty sales. I still have to get her a shirt. Next week. Without fail.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:53 (seventeen years ago) link

MOS definitely not, ewwww. Was it sandwiched between two articles telling women that all the world's ills are their fault, or the fault of IMMIGRANTS?

Ailsa, I've known Alex for 15 years. He exists to be nice and to rip the piss out of Demon All-Bran whenever necessary. Ed met him with me once and was also v. impressed.

― suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 12:53 (seventeen years ago) link

And now the long stretch of the post-lunch afternoon.

I've eaten too many tangerines and feel slightly sick.

I wonder how much mum is.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:01 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm guessing $1.99?

suzy, I am aware you have met some famous people. I was. however, making A JOKE.

― ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:04 (seventeen years ago) link

Jokes are funny and the teller does not have to explain they were making one after the fact. This is basic.

― suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Ok, I sent the Rainbow photo to the nationalist Beer company. Now I just have to wait for the beer.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I am not paying attention to my spelling. I wonder how my mum is.

I am not feeling very well, so I hope she is OK.

Rainbow beer. Is that gay?

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

party at yr place soon then, Ed?
