You'd be crazy not to, FP. You might get paid cash, or paid in kind, perhaps?

Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:02 (seventeen years ago) link

cruel to be kind?

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:05 (seventeen years ago) link

No, I meant FP might get to keep some of the gear, eh.

Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Given the cottage-industry nature of most fet suppliers, I'd be surprised if payment was offered. But it's good to make contacts. I wanted to get in touch with them anyway because I want to buy stuff from them - kit not clothes though.

BWAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!!!

I am going to copy and paste a memo which has been sent round the office this morning for your amusement:

Good Morning All,

As some you may be aware there have recently been a few people fall ill with tummy bugs, all within the space of 24-48 hours of each other. Whilst this is very likely to be a bizarre coincidence, in the interest of your safety, we are taking the following two precautions.

I have ordered replacement filters for the Water coolers (which were not due to be replaced until February). Bottled water will be available from later on this morning until the filters have been checked/replaced.

I have instructed a test of the Air-conditioning and a thorough clean of the filters to ensure there are no germs being circulated.

Many thanks

Company Office Manager

That reminds me Kate - we got a new watercooler yesterday. However, rather than taking bottled water, it has a feed from the mains supply. I've not tried it yet, but I hate our tap water, so I'm not really looking forward to it.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:16 (seventeen years ago) link

Also, the ballet last night...

::DOES PIROUETTES ABOUT THE OFFICE::

My god, it was magical! It wasn't the flashiest Nutcracker I've ever seen (Lincoln Centre, hello) but it was just... magical. I was in tears by the time the Sugarplum Fairy did her famous dance.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:17 (seventeen years ago) link

They generally have filters in them, mind you I have no problem with tap water so I'm not going offer an opinion on taste.

Ed (dali), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:18 (seventeen years ago) link

I appear to be back in fine fettle today. Gareth made me late for work but that's OK because there is only myself an S. in today.

Ed (dali), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I'll try it later and see what I think.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I think Mitya likes the Psychic Ills - Dins album. (the other one I sent is a compilation of their 2 early eps).


The spacerock ysi wizard is taking requests for xmas.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I want one of the ballet dancer dresses. I know it will not make me graceful and svelte and pretty, but still. They are awesome. Not the tu-tu things, but the floaty skirts.

Glad you are back in the land of the living, Ed.

Ours was a filter on tap water. Our tap water is NASTY (I've just had a glass) but the watercooler water is fine. I don't have the heart to tell them it's Iguana Flu and nothing to do with the watercooler at all.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Where's Mitya been, btw?

g000blar (g00blar), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Kate kidnapped him and Tissp.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:26 (seventeen years ago) link

TISSP! checked in the other day to say thanks to Ed for rescuing his wallet.

Where *is* Mitya, though? We didn't offend him too badly while he was here, did we?

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Um, hello!

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:35 (seventeen years ago) link

I know NOTHING about ballet, but feel I should. I need a wise person to take me by the hand and teach me up.

And Ed, I feel you pain:

Your search - long haired elvish - did not match any documents.

I didn't know Bob Geldof was in TSM!

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:37 (seventeen years ago) link

the one in the middle looks like laurence llewelyn bowen (x-post hahaha)

Norman Phay (Pashmina), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I've been clicking on that photo for 20 minutes now and I haven't got mine own DDB to keep yet.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:38 (seventeen years ago) link

A crossbreed of Bob Geldof and Laurence Llewelyn Bowen sounds scary.

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:40 (seventeen years ago) link

That's Josh and he's lovely (even if he did nick my DUSSELDORF!!! sigh) so you hush your horrible mouths.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm sure he's a lovely fellow, but he still looks like LLB in that photo.

Our watercooler feeds in from the mains, but it zaps the water so it tastes really nice.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Watercooler experimentation will be done after lunch.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 11:55 (seventeen years ago) link

haha, "Dusseldorf sign" not "dusseldorf sigh" - ah, the hillarity. I guess I type that a lot.

Do some work, or answer some email? Ach, answer some email.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 12:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Wait on, didn't I make the same comment about Josh looking like Geldof? After the film, if I remember correctly...

tissp! (tissp!), Thursday, 14 December 2006 12:15 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, check your emails kate!(you too tissp)

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 14 December 2006 12:20 (seventeen years ago) link

Already on it, cheers

tissp! (tissp!), Thursday, 14 December 2006 12:21 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm having a really horny day today. All the girls in the office have suddenly become the most beautiful people in the world, and many naughty thoughts have been entering my head, usually involving the ladies' glasses falling off.

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 12:28 (seventeen years ago) link

There's a camera crew in my office!

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 12:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Ooooh, hott producer for me, hott sound-guy for you?

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:08 (seventeen years ago) link

No, just fat bankers and old cameramen.

I had a strange attack of Teh Horn when I was on the train this morning, it wasn't a specific horn, it was just the desire to kiss, the abstract desire for sex, just as a hole or absence to be filled up. It was quite odd, it wasn't really focused on a specific person though I am still suffering with crush. I think it was hormones and/or fever.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:10 (seventeen years ago) link

oh dear JB!

I just popped into town with the goth - and of course someone noticed us getting into my car together.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Maybe it's lip balm, too. It always makes me rub my lips together to spread it out all around my mouth, so perhaps it makes my lips wish for more action.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:14 (seventeen years ago) link

You shouldn't have had your furry handcuffs on her then FP!

pfunkboy (Kerr), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm not in a crush at the moment, so any horn I have at the moment is suitably abstract. My usual lustings veer violently between cuddling and giving a good hard seeing to - today it's the latter.

FP, you were giving a lift to The Goth - that's not SUCH a bad thing, is it? I get lifts into town all the time, and no tongues are wagging. Unless she got in your boot or something.

(FP is probably getting bored of this by now.)

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Well I think people have been getting a bit suspicious already that a) she spends her lunch breaks in my office b) we email each other a lot.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh noes, you have a FRIEND! How suspicious!

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Pissing. Drinking water. You've only got yourself to blame. Unless of course you're just boasting.

I'm enjoying the crush at the moment. I've just been annoyingly happy and in a good mood. Then again, that could be to do with the enourmous sense of freedom and weights being lifted from my shoulders WRT other bits of my life. Who knows. It's so rare that I'm just unqualifiedly happy that I'm just going to enjoy it.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

WHY ISN'T PBW RESPONDING TO MY EMAIL?!?!?

Oh wait, I haven't sent it yet.

I need a new TLA for him. I think that "PBW" is kinda objectifying perhaps.

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:41 (seventeen years ago) link

MITMBMAHTMF?

that is just a Gerry named Onimo (nu_onimo), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

PBW is his name now. If you invent a new TLA, then we won't know who the hell you're talking about. By even TALKING about him you're objectifying him, so you may as well stick to what you (and everyone else) knows.

FP, you're fine. So people think you two are messing - and? So? Does anyone really give a toss? (in a nice way, of course)

Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

oh wait, that's more than 3

that is just a Gerry named Onimo (nu_onimo), Thursday, 14 December 2006 13:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Well, *we* don't, which is the important thing I guess.

Forest Pines (ForestPines), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Flags Up for FP!

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

So why the angst? Or am I reading it as angst and you're actually pleased that people have noticed?

ailsa_xx (ailsa_xx), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

MITMBMAHTMF

What is this short for? Should I ask?

masonic boom (kate), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it's pronounced "Mitmbmahtmf"

M Grout (Mark Grout), Thursday, 14 December 2006 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link
