Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

Will you shout "Comma" and things at the appropriate times? Will you tell us who it is?

It's Gavin Kostick.

I actually really want to go to it, but I'd be kind of afraid I might put him off. Also, I would feel unable to leave if it was shit.

Here's hoping he doesn't google himself, see that and start getting paranoid!

Oh don't worry, I intend to contact him and say "hey Gav, I want to come to your show but reserve the right to leave if it's shit".

I did some computer based training this morning for the first time in years. I forgot how patronising faceless voices can be.

'I...am...speaking...very...slowly...because...this...bit...is...IMPORTANT'

I hate computer based training stuff. I don't think I ever done a training course on a computer where I have managed to retain any information passed a couple of days.

I do like looking out for sad has been actors in training DVDs, though.

Retaining information is a problem, and this one will have a closed book examination at the end :(

I was out in the world.

Traitor! I'm sure it's completely overrated.

I just realized this morning that I will not be able to take a week off come October when my sites are done. I will be in a MWF class. :( Also this means we will have to take our trip to NOLA at Thanksgiving.

I AM BORED WITH ILX AND MY INTERACTIONS WITH IT. THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I MUST GO NOW, BACK TO MY PLANET. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL.

you never us

I PAID GOOGLE TO SEARCH FOR ME BECAUSE I AM RICH MAN AND IT LOOK INTERESTING

KV NOL PLEASE STAY, YOU ACTUALLY CHEER PEOPLE UP!

I AM BORED WITH ILX AND MY INTERACTIONS WITH IT. THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I MUST GO NOW, BACK TO MY PLANET

This would make me sad.

After yesterday I was about ready to flip ILx the bird and keep on moving. But who am I kidding? I'm not going anywhere.

don't you leave either, ms misery!

I'm not. After six years it would take a lot to make me leave. Too ingrained a habit. Although sometimes it gets so boring there's not much worth reading. . .

Traitor! I'm sure it's completely overrated.

It's rubbish. The train was late coming and going, and Dublin city is just FULL. There isn't space to walk on the path. I hates it, precious.

I don't understand these acronyms.

Sorry, "Monday, Wednesday, Friday" and "New Orleans Lousiana"

Woah, I will be more careful with my declarations after caffeine in future. Thanks all.

I am bored with ILX, I am bored with most things. This is because I am not 'doing anything different'tm at the moment. Even though I'll be busy it doesn't feel like I'm up to much.

Suzy, trust me you cheered me up no end on the maid thread I'll be honest with you! I used to occasionally dip into the Watercooler. No more, it all got to be really, really repetitive in the worst possible way.

I walk away from some threads after awhile, too much headache. The maid thread was one.

It was a very good thread though! I want to read the graphic novels one but christ, I don't have the time (he says posting yet again etc)

Some of it was, yes. After awhile I just get tired of the conversation. The best solution for me though is just to not get too invested in any thread here.

I just followed a trail of old threads via a revived old thread. That was, um, fun? Interesting? Weird? I dunno. Let's just say some people never change.

Six years Ms Mis?! Fuck! I think I'm near my 4th 'anniversary' here and I really should let go.

I will as soon as I find something else to do with my time. Work doesn't cut it :)

I think I'm near my 4th 'anniversary' here and I really should let go.

No, don't. We have many Lost seasons ahead of us.

I started posting on 9/11 so it's a very easy anniversary to remember.

I walk away from some threads after awhile, too much headache. The maid thread was one.

I thought it was a good thread too, as long as I let my eyes just slide over some posts. I like any thread that has stet and grimly on it; they have good banter.

And no, onimo, I'm not going to start reading the Scottish football thread. I hear enough about Hibs and Kilmarnock et al. when I'm in my folks' house on a Sunday (because my brother rings from Glasgow and he and my Dad talk about the football).

Really? Why? I mean was it a google that brought you here I mean! (xpost)

No, I was led to ILM by a former co-worker through which I found ILE. Which was much more my style. I had been lurking off and on before 9/11 and then that day I couldn't get to any other sites, except for here. That was long before Greenspun started bombing on a regular basis.

Stet and grimly do not frequent our Scottish football-loving world. It's pretty much just me, Onimo, aldo_cowpat and treefell, with very occasional contributions from Brigadier L-P and Scotstvo.

It still sounds like thread of fun.

Man, Judge Judy has had work done.

Okay, I really need to go out for a walk now.

It is a thread of fun, like a watercooler where we can talk about stuff we want to talk about and anyone can join. Like here! Like everywhere on teh ILX which isn't the watercooler!

I like any thread that has stet and grimly on it; they have good banter.

OTM, especially when grimly gets annoyed about some triviality and lets the profanities flow.

(I should be packing, rather than "checking my email" and leaving my dad to do it all, oh well. Laters)

Best thing about grimly doing that is that he's EXACTLY the same in real life.

Obv. pooping thread is thread of the day.

Argh, work sucking so much lately. Instead of working on the tight deadlines I have I'm trying to troubleshoot an online form for our tech group. It's something I wrote when I very first started and was only beginning to teach myself PHP. In other words, it's very poorly written.

It's taking me forever to figure out what's going wrong and I'm starting to think I should just rewrite the whole thing. bah.

Good luck with the packing Ailsa!

HA HA

Obv. pooping thread is thread of the day.

OTM. Enjoying it a lot I must say.

I want to know why it is that coffee makes poop happen but I'm not googling that shit (ahem) at work.

Hmnm, could it be the stimulating nature of caffeine? Does decaffeinated coffee do the same thing?

I don't know, but I know coke doesn't.

One of the hardest things about giving up smoking was... the body gets used to it sort of thing and when the stimulant is gone... That's all I'm saying...

coke

For a second I thought you meant something else. . .

Well coffee has a lot more caffeine than cokes.

For a second I thought you meant something else. . .

Well I think anything that stops you eating stops you pooping.

I'm also here around 6 years. Similar time to Sam actually I think.

It's funny....6 years posting here. So many eras! (is that the plural of "era")

yes

argh, brain not useful for needed work this morning. considering heading out for lunch.

I didn't bring any b/c I was supposed to eat with a friend. But she's homesick so that's two days I'll be eating out. Hmm, should I go to close cafe for overpriced sandwich or walk further for taco bell or a Wendy's salad?

Sorry that I'm attempting to revive thread with such boring rambling.

Okay, the cafe is having fried shrimp salad today. I'm going there.

i will equal your boringness and raise you with this: i bought myself new toys a couple of days ago - my first ever digital camera, and my first ever mp3 player. the 40min walk home after work is now much more enjoyable with a soundtrack. and having a digital camara is so much FUN!

WENDYS! I've always wanted to eat there! Taco Bell, less so!

Digital cameras are teh bomb. I bought a Canon ILUX just a few days ago. Which one did you go for in the end?

Which MP3 player?

Hooray! Both are awesome and I've surprised you've managed without them! Well, at least the MP3 player. Without my iPod my commute is completely miserable.

my camera is the canon that i mentioned on that thread - just the most basic model. but i love how easy it is to use; i haven't even glanced at the instructions and i already know how to take pics and get them onto my computer! (maybe this sounds dumb, but i'm SERIOUSLY TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED).

the mp3 player is also just a pretty basic 1gb sony. now THAT gave me some troubles. i thought i could just drop and drag songs from my windows media player. but no. i had to use the sonic stage software which is rubbish.

i really do not know how i've survived without either, esp the mp3 player. but i only got my first ever computer 9 months ago, and now i don't know how i survived without that, either. there is no going back!
