Pay your mortgage! Your home is at risk if you fail to keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on it!
(I’ve heard)
Go anyway, Kate. If you don’t go, you’ll maybe wish you had.
I feel even worse today than I did yesterday. I’m closing up and going home after dinner, fuck this.
Sorry to hear that, Pash. Have you got anything for it?
I need to decide how I want my hair cut within the next ten minutes.
Pseudoephedrine is what you need.
Ach, that’s awful, Pash. Get some rest, feel better.
TISSP! don’t cut your hair. Pavement will laugh at you.
I guess I should ask my boss what’s going on with Xmas holidays, because it might be OK if I can take Friday and maybe Monday off. But that depends on how much time we get between Xmas and New Years... argh.
“cnuts” just made me laugh out loud :)
Hope you feel better soon, Pash. Go home and tuck yourself up in bed.
tissp : shave it all off.
No really, it needs cutting! The length isn’t bothering me, but the thickness is—my head is like twice as wide as it needs to be
xposts
Why don’t you get some little devil horns to keep it out of your face when it gets long and thick. Like this:
Interesting, I actually knew what that picture would be before I even clicked on it...
Yeah, but you probably thought it would be this:

God DAMN it, who keeps going in the MySpace and changing the pictures? We specifically got new photos taken with the new lineup, and someone goes and changes it to one that’s not just the old lineup, but also has BUMLOVE all over it. Get that shit off my band.
Damn. I’m Mark today. Why can’t I be Ben? I’m always Ben! My colleague is being Ben today. It isn’t fair.
(Coffee mugs we end up getting.)
Nothing wrong in being Mark!
what HAVEN’T i done
There’s just so MANY of you is all.
Meaning: Brave
You like to defend
To support and to save
You are dauntless and daring -
You are truly brave
Your name reflects the fact
That you have no fear
You protect your posessions
And your loved ones so dear
Whatever the struggle
You’re sure to succeed
Against any opponent
You shall take the lead
I’ve been in a meeting for the last hour where most of time was spent deciding where to eat for our xmas lunchtime get-together. Nothing was decided, so bah humbug to the lot of ’em.
Oh emsk, you’ve done lots of stuff, the majority of it brilliant. You know this as well, so i can’t see the problem. Unless you’ve murdered a kitten or something, in which case, you’re a bad bad woman.
I got a script from the doctor the other day for some antibiotic or other, she said to try steam inhalation, and if it didn’t work after a couple of days, get the antibiotics. I was up till 4am this morning, coughing & hacking, so I guess the steam didn’t work, ugh.
yet another thuringian cittern on ebay that I probably won’t win
Nice decoration, though.
Yeah, there’s a time and a place for steam inhilation and there’s a time for HEAVY DUTY DRUGS.
I can’t decide if it’s a blessing or a curse that MySpace tells you “so and so is not just ignoring your mail, they just haven’t actually read it yet.”
Pash needs one of these :
A gravy boat?
A lamp with a genie in, clearly!
I favour strong drugs over steam inhalation.
I couldn’t sleep last night cos of rib pain—I am going for another x-ray tomorrow as I fear there is more damage than I thought.
It is done.
Woo, I just completed a medium-level Guardian kakuro puzzle for the first time! 35 minutes!
Aw man, be careful, Dr. C!
What is done? Your haircut? Oh noes!!!!
Hurrah for puzzles. I don’t even know what a kakuro puzzle is. I never got past crosswords.
Right. First we had a fire evacuation because some burgers caught fire in the pub kitchen. Bah. And then I talked to Dare on the phone! She’s brought extra skates for me! I can’t believe she is going to make me go ice skating!
It’s like a crossword where you have to do sums.
Yeah, my hair has been cut. Now my beard is all wrong!
Every time I see (your hair) falling, I get down on my knees and pray...
There’s a major disaster at our office this afternoon—we’re all out of tea *and* coffee!
Argh! Send in the Red Cross!
And I’ve bought some cheap jaffa cakes from the discount sweet shop in cowley centre. Tasty AND to a budget!
I’ve broken ribs twice and both times I was told there was nothing they could do other than prescribe heavy-duty painkillers. I’m sure you’ll be fine, Doc, but I feel your pain :(
Dare sounds like she’ll be good for you, Kate—I hope you have fun!
Filling me full of booze, making me hang out with rock stars, insisting we go to Mother Bar at 2 in the morning, dragging me off (including throwing a sickie at work) to go to a festival on no notice = good for me, in what universe?
First thing she said to me: “Dude, I just saw Pete Doherty on the TELEVISION!!! Is he, like, famous, here or something?”
xpost—I will take care, ta! I am going to go out and buy REAL strong painkillers in a bit. Any recommendations anyone?
I’ve bust a rib once before, and it hurts, but this is slightly different in that it as far as I know the rib is OK, but loose at one end. I’m now thinking that I may have cracked another one though—I can feel it thru my skin.
In the universe of fun. And you love it, stop being coy.
Whenever I go ice skating I wobble like bambi and I keep thinking that I’ll fall over and someone’ll whizz by and slice my fingers off.
I’m sure that won’t happen to you, tho.
She is a mad half-Russian mentalist! She is all DEVIL ON SKATES, WOOO!!! and I am going to be pottering along grabbing the sides of the rink. I told her LOOK YOU REMEMBER HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO RIDE A BIKE, AND DRIVE A CAR, AND ALL THAT!!!
But then she remembered that it took her even longer to drive a car than it took me!
You know, there are some levels on which it really rocks, having a friend who you’ve known more than half your life. Like, you can talk about stuff that you did in 1986 and it makes sense.
i went ice skating last weekend. some 7 year old girl pushed me over, and another 7 year old boy helped me up, it was very embarassing. and then the 7 year old girl took all her 7 year old girlie friends to come and apologise to me and to make sure i was alright.
i’ve got all their numbers and myspace IDs.
Argh! I keep forgetting when I go into Flickr, I can’t look at my contacts because Aussie Kate has NAKED PEOPLE on hers. Blimey!
OK, I just told my boss that I’m not going to be here on Friday.
She was all “nOooooo, you can’t go...” until I asked her “Dude, have you *heard* of 1ggy p0p?”
Anyone up for some potential FAP action on Sunday btw?
Dude, I will message you, but I’m kinda at the mercy of St00g3s.
Kate with the st00ges
Actually, ignore everything I say as I actually mean MONDAY
Yes, the new Shimuras Line-up:
When is “Higher than a Kite” single coming out btw?
Grrrrr. I wish I came with an erase button.
Like, when something is really, really, REALLY winding me up, I could press that button, and the irritant idea would just go away.
I know that now is not the time to be dealing with this, and it’s something which needs to be resolved after the next few days are got through. But it’s just so hard keeping a lid on that anger.
Some people never quite grasp the idea that their actions have consequences. :-(
Argh! I keep forgetting when I go into Flickr, I can’t look at my contacts because Aussie Kate has NAKED PEOPLE on hers. Blimey!
Blimey indeed.
They are VERY naked.
They’re not just slightly naked, they’re *extremely* naked.
Now, I wouldn’t mind if they were, you know, pointy nosed boys in their birthday suits, but they are very naked ladies!
If you go back through her stuff she does have a mostly naked boy painted blue.
That is her brother, pretending to be Krishna, I believe. I have already seen those.
I don’t just want dancing boys on stage. I want them in every aspect of my life, following me around and dancing and being all hott and stuff. OK, they might get in the way in the office a bit. The rest of the time they could just sit behind me and fan me with palm leaves or feed me dates or something.
Why was I not born a Pharoah? It just isn’t fair.
How can you be slightly naked?
You can be slightly naked, as in you have no clothes on, but your bits are still obscured or covered by other aspects of your limbs and stuff.
Or you can be VERY naked where everything is, just like, you know, hanging out there on display.
As in... Christine Keeler, slightly naked:
Look, they can do the Banned Stronger Dance, too:
Bring on the Shimura Souzaphone.
Our new polka direction...
Especially if we get dancing boys that hang upside down off each other and slap each others’ asses in leather pants. Yeah!
polka dot dresses are nothing without beer pretzels and tight trousered arse slapping.
I feel faint at the thought.
And PBW keeps posting pictures of Cthulhus. I’m very tempted to send him a link to Hello Cthulhu but that might be mean. Then again, sometimes a squid is just a squid.
Apropo of absolutely nothing... I’ve been reading Ian Sinclair! Even though I decided he was rubbish, I gave him another chance.
And the first Rolling London M25 Walk he does is up the River Lee Or Lea!!!!!!!! With Bill Drummond!
xpost, perhaps you should offer him cookies and ribbons
I’ve got some leather trousers, but they’re not tight—they’re a bit big for me.
I think he might object. He doesn’t seem to approve of being crushed on. I think it confuses him. (Or maybe it confuses me.)
What is the point of leather trousers if they are not tight? Have them taken in, FP.
For the life of me, I cannot find the lyrics to “Studying Economy”, dammit.
Isn’t it time for “WC” number -1 yet?
No. Because that would be admitting that we might be here for some time. Use the foldback option.
(OK, this annoys me, as it means that cute boys disappear every 50 posts, but still.)
anyway we should be increasing by SQRT(-1) as thehold is imaginary
I wonder if I dare sneak out 15 minutes early. OK, I finished the thing they asked me to do way early!
So the next thread would be Watercooler i? Or Watercooler j?
I have used both expressions.
Watercooler i would be cool. I’ve nearly finished my book about the zeta function now, so it would somewhat appropriate.
Engineers use j because i conflicts with something else, I can remember several other uses for i.
It’s “current” in electrical stuff, isn’t it?
yes, upper case I is second moment of area in mechanics
current is CAPITAL I
xpost
from wikipedia
‘the variable for electric current. Sometimes both “I” and “i” are used for static and small signal respectively. Therefore the imaginary unit is represented by j instead.
Hey All.
Anyone bought the new Circulus single? Rise Above are expensive and I don’t think HMV.co.uk have any left of the colour vinyl.
Want to know what the b-side is like and if the a-side is remixed and different to the album version.
No but I did get tempted into the green vinyl delia derbyshire record from boomcat yesterday evening.
Rise Above have a 2nd press colour vinyl of the Circulus album now.
I did order the Witchcraft 7“ a few weeks back from them. If they had the Circulus 7” then i would’ve combined the order.
Has anyone heard the new Ghost album yet? It’s great!
I haven’t even listened to a CD for months, let alone any vinyl. It’s all digital these days, folks.
Morning!
I have just ordered someone a bouquet for the first time ever! Cunningly timed to appear at her house just as her ex is visiting. She does know about it, though.
TSM got in the NME albums of the year list.
I remember the first time I ordered a bouquet for someone, it was cool. Didn’t work tho. But isn’t ordering it just as the ex is visiting known in technical circles as shit-stirring?
Yes. The recipient approves of this, though—we have discussed it.
Me: “I’d better not send you flowers if he’s visiting you”
Her: “Oh, don’t let that stop you, it’ll keep him on his toes!”
Me: “Can you untie me now”
Her: “Wait until the wax cools!”
:P
hi / bye all! off to airport soon. see someone at the SC gig tonight, i hope. i will look like this only more tired and probably vaguely deer-in-the-headlights-ish.
Hey!
Mitya! Might you come to the gig on Saturday?
I am quite curious about the circumstances which would cause someone to be using the imaginary unit and the symbol for electric current in the same context.
likely but cannot promise, g00b
OK cool. Safe travels!
(and good morning!)
Mitya, are you coming to the FAP tomorrow?
Ribs update not that anyone’s interested :
nu X-Ray sez 3 cracked, 1 semi-sprung, but not as bad as first thought.
Quack : you won’t be playing for 3–4 months
Mrs. Dr. C : so it’s time to finish for good then.
So I’ve set my comeback for our traditional boxing day game. I’ve played in it for the last 20+ years and I’m buggered if I’m missing it this year.
In case none of you are reading the SC thread—Kate 0, food poisoning 1
