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.

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.

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!"

You misspelled "cock farmer" there, Suzy.

Awww, Alex. :-)

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:

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?

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

But first some coffee...

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I believe it is only an 8 pint mini cask, but, why not.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

I hadn't thought of the rainbow connection. Mwahahaha.

― suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I have stopped drinking coffee on account of the fact that I am not sleeping. But the reason why I am not sleeping is that it is a side effect of the prozac I'm taking. But still, I am sure reducing my caffeine intake will help.

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:10 (seventeen years ago) link

the rainbow connection

first song in the Muppet Movie, innit?

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed loves Muppets.

― suzy artskooldisko (suzy artskooldisko), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

I am supposed to not be drinking so much caffeine, but I am cold and cranky and coffee makes me warm and ... cranky. So there you go.

What time of day do you take your prozac? I cannot take SSRIs right before bedtime because they make me funny. I tend to take mine just after dinner. Then the funniness has worn off by the time I go to bed.

Eight pint minikeg? Well, that's a bit of a chiz.

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

Free beer is, well, free beer.

― Ed (dali), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Free beer + camera to be sold on eBay = Profit

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

Yes, you can use the profit to buy... more beer!

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

the doctor told me to take them in the morning to alleviate the insomniac effect. But it only alleviates it; doesn't get rid of it completely. The only other side effect besides butterflies in the stomach for the first few days is that lights look brighter, especially artificial ones. When I told the doc he was surprised as he hadn't heard of this happening to anyone else. He wondered whether it caused dilation of the pupils.

I've just had a big dinner and now I'm knackered.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

A different antidepressent made me over-sensitive to light. I couldn't stand bright lights at all, and daylight was painful. I told the doctor, who told me I was making it up. Then I read the little pamphlet that came with the drugs, and it said photosensitivity was a rare but known side effect.

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

That was quick:

I'm supposed to take the tablets for 3 months and I am about four days into the second month. Doc reckons I'll be right as rain when I've finished the course. I don't share his optimism.

― MarkH (MarkH), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Hrrrmmmm. Seems a strangely short course - I was told to do 6 months as a minimum.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Apropos of nothing: my Google Mail ads are currently trying to sell me a Freemason's Coat for £99. I'm not sure if the freemason knows.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Ed, why is it at #1?

Sorted by date submitted.

I fucking hate people.

I utterly and absolutely hate people.

Especially anonymous fucking bastards who hide behind their own anonymity to kick people when they're down. There's a special fucking hell reserved in their own minds for them.

If I were feeling better, I'd say "I can't be bothered" but right now I feel like saying "Show your fucking face so I can kick you in it, you coward."

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

But that's really made up my mind about cutting people out.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I know, in my head, that it's 99% likely that it's Marcello or some other trolling asshole leaving these comments, but cannot shake the fear that it's one of my so called former friends, which makes me re-examine every single friendship I though I had, thinking "Is it you? Is it you writing this shit? SAY IT TO MY FUCKING FACE THEN."

And I can no longer trust anyone.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

But, like I've said repeatedly on this thread, I *AM* an asshole, and I'm no longer making apologies or excuses for it.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Awwww, my boss just found me crying in the loo, and bought me a bag of chocolates.

OK. Not all people suck.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:47 (seventeen years ago) link

You know what I do hate, tho?

Those stupid MySpace icons that come up and tell you that someone is online. Those really suck.

― masonic boom (kate), Tuesday, 19 December 2006 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I just hate MySpace full-stop.
