Is the last fm watercooler the same thing as the last fm ILXOR group?

No, it's another last.fm group - it's called "UK Watercooler".

thought you ripped all your music to mp3 and sold the cds because of space issues.

Oh heavens no. I just ripped the stuff I didn't listen to anymore. (Which was about, oh, a thousand CDs to start with.)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:12 (seventeen years ago) link

How many cds do you have????

pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Ned will be back in February, Kerr, when he's finished counting them all.

Norman Phay (Pashmina), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Hahahaha.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Instead of selling them you should build a boat. A very shiny boat.

nklshs (nklshs), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:26 (seventeen years ago) link

At highest count, something like 5000 CDs, I think. I believe I'm down to around 4000 and probably something like...*thinks*...not sure, 500 mp3 CDRs? More?

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Is that audio cdrs or data cdrs?

pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Why would anyone have 500 new Star Trek cdrs?

C J (C J), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh dear.

Pfunk -- the latter.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I used to have that Ned until I got a dvd writer. Holds a lot more.I have 100 dvdrs I think.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:41 (seventeen years ago) link

This is why I plan on a MacMini soon.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Too much.

Gerry Watt (nu_onimo), Tuesday, 15 August 2006 18:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Too young.

OH GOD, THE NEW OLD ILX SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED POXY FULING ALREADY! ARGH!!!!!

I am listening to Can today, because I finally got my staff copy of Plan B and FMM had a big article about them.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 09:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello. ILX isn't working for me today.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Wednesday, 16 August 2006 10:02 (seventeen years ago) link

OH god, I'm counting down the hours til I get to go home and just die.

Who controls the British crown?
Who keeps the metric system down?
We do! We do!
Who leaves Atlantis off the maps?
Who keeps the martians under wraps?
We do! We do!
Who holds back the electric car?
Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star?
We do! We do!
Who robbed the Irish of Home Rule?
Who keeps ILX in POXY FULE?!?!?
We do! We do!

I have been forced to take this week off work (actual reason, working too hard) and have spent the afternoon teaching myself that Oliver Barbieri tilt-shift photography thing. Some are obviously the work of a beginner, but I have a couple I'm really pleased with and will post in the thread if ILX ever comes up again.

Tomorrow I am going to play with my new camera.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Hurrah for new cameras.

I've just got in trouble because my colleagues made me sing the American national anthem, out loud, because none of them could remember how it went (one of them thought it was Land Of Hope And Glory, ha ha). Oh, what hilarity.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm a bit scared of my new camera. 8Mpixels seems like an awful lot (supports A3 photo printing, apparently).

And the garage have just phoned to say I need to pick up my new car tomorrow.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

New camera, new car... blimey.

I've got a new... errr... skirt.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Camera was a birthday present.

Old car literally falling to bits, ex-wife sells house and gives me the money I've been waiting on for SEVEN FUCKING YEARS, script writes itself.

much_aldo_about_nothing (much_aldo_about_nothing), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Happy birthday for the other day aldo!

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Great! You can drive me to Skye, then!

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 14:52 (seventeen years ago) link

happy birthday for the other day aldo! I didn't know and no-one told me *slaps Onimo rounds head*

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't know until someone told me afterwards! *gives ailsa a knuckle sandwich*

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Some "friend" you are, not knowing people's birthdays. (Consider your virtual slap retracted)

'Mini Indians in a mini Jaipur street' works best, I think.

nu_onimo (nu_onimo), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:28 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't really understand this whole craze.

masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 23 August 2006 15:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Bah. It's way too early to be poxy fuled. Tell us what it's all about Benjamin?

I've had no sleep last night. Up at 5am with stress dreams and even hot milk couldn't get me back to sleep. I'm exhausted from lugging heavy bags of equipment across London at inappropriate hours, fighting commuter traffic.

Not being a raging bitch or anything but... wait, I'm Queen here, I can do what I want.

THIS THREAD IS FOR CHATTER. AND BENJAMIN. IF YOU WANT TO POST WEIRD PICTURES THAT LOOK LIKE MODELS START YOUR OWN THREAD.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:01 (seventeen years ago) link

early? its been down since about 7pm last night.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:02 (seventeen years ago) link

I wasn't here last night. I was sitting on Ed's couch listening to our single on a really, really good stereo.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Right, I finally upped and ordered the single!

Ooh, it'd better be good! :)

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:20 (seventeen years ago) link

On Ed's stereo... well, Ed's stereo sounds SOOO NICE that everything sounds good on it. But well, it was the first time I'd actually listened to it and really felt... PROUD.

Like, "wow, we made that!"

So if you don't like it... get a better stereo! hah! :-P

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:22 (seventeen years ago) link

(I've ordered a better stylus, funnily enough)

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:28 (seventeen years ago) link

Hello there. I went to the pub on Saturday afternoon, for a bit ... and got back last night. Hurrah!

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Was wondering where you'd got to!

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I need a new stylus, I only have an old (10+ years) Sony hifi with a record deck. But as its old the stylus i need is about £40 at least.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:32 (seventeen years ago) link

I need to get a record player, fullstop. I totally covet Ed's (well, more likely his speakers...) but totally out of my budget.

I have so much I have to buy now and no money.

-hard drive
-recording mic
-vaccuum cleaner
-Moogerfooger low pass filter
-Lovetone Meatball
-Prunes and Custard Harmonic Generator (or maybe I will get an Electroharmonix HOG or POG)

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, I went to Leeds for a munch, and offered the organiser a lift home (it was in Selby, more or less on the way). He invited me in for a coffee, then said "want to come to a club with us tonight." So I did. I ended up staying a couple of nights, to give them a hand clearing out their spare bedroom.

I'd been hoping to visit York on Monday night anyway, so after we'd done the bedroom-clearing I went off there, and ended up spending a couple of nights in York too. Eventually, I got home, having had a great weekend, and still with a grin on my face. Hopefully going back to York again tomorrow though, to help A Certain Someone with moving house.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Check e-bay for stylii. Mine cost £12 incl postage. And it's ooh 15 years old. The turntable that is. And the present stylus.

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:47 (seventeen years ago) link

The day I buy actual, like, furniture instead of like, guitar pedals is the day I will consider myself a grownup.

I should buy a stereo, though. This is absurd that I'm still listening to CDs on my 'puter and studio monitors.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:52 (seventeen years ago) link

So I did. I ended up staying a couple of nights, to give them a hand clearing out their spare dungeon bedroom.


Sorry , I couldn't resist. I know you don't like it when we don't stereotype you ..

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 31 August 2006 09:58 (seventeen years ago) link

And so you shall be!
