Haha!

*grits teeth* Good luck in the football tom... No, can't say it, sorry. ;-)

Jerry, he was not a sweetie.

I do miss Fifer's Lane. For I never lived there.

What does it mean to be the Providence of the USA?

― the bellefox, Friday, 20 August 2004 15:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Most of the critical things that people have said about the city, on this thread, I disagree with. But then, I agree that it may have declined in certain ways in the last 10 years, because of mallrat modernization: so perhaps I do not really disagree.

MarkH's post about the Grouse was good, witty, touching too.

By the way, there are two libraries in question: the university's, and the public library. The latter is the new one. I have never visited it.

― the bellefox, Friday, 20 August 2004 15:43 (nineteen years ago) link

It's funny hearing the bellefox say 'mallrat'.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 20 August 2004 15:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I just made up that (2-word) phrase, to try to describe a process, quickly. Was it good, do you think?

1. Contexts of futility
If one examines Sontagist camp, one is faced with a choice: either reject Derridaist reading or conclude that the raison d'etre of the participant is deconstruction, but only if Debord's essay on the cultural paradigm of narrative is invalid. The subject is interpolated into a Derridaist reading that includes language as a totality. In a sense, in Ulysses, Joyce examines Derridaist reading; in Dubliners he analyses the cultural paradigm of narrative.

You know, I think N. was right.

But what does that site have to do with Norwich? Little, I hope.

― the bellefox, Friday, 20 August 2004 16:08 (nineteen years ago) link

I went to Norwich today. I like it, it seems peaceful & its cathedral has big cloisters. It is the favourite place in the UK of a man I met in Malta. He's keen as mustard on that town.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 20 August 2004 19:50 (nineteen years ago) link

It is virtually my favourite place in the UK also.

― the pinefox, Friday, 20 August 2004 20:19 (nineteen years ago) link

oh, i meant the university library then. not the new one.

the pinefox, yours was the better question. thank you.

― youn, Friday, 20 August 2004 20:32 (nineteen years ago) link

The university library is very beautiful, in a way.

― the bellefox, Friday, 20 August 2004 20:40 (nineteen years ago) link

But what does that site have to do with Norwich? Little, I hope.

The writer, perhaps all the writers, on that site, are students at UEA, I think.

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 20 August 2004 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Norwich is the provenance
of the USA.

― Mooro (Mooro), Friday, 20 August 2004 22:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Wow, that's one of ilx's finest puns ever.

― the bellefox, Friday, 20 August 2004 22:37 (nineteen years ago) link

nine months pass...

Represent!

Should I visit Norwich for a day, should I return for a UK visit later this year? Has it changed? I do miss it.

i went there in september. i met charles barr. he is a rock star. go there, i loved it.

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 14 June 2005 18:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Did you tell Charles that I said hi? I'm sure he remembers my essay on The Lodger.

my sister has started life as one of norwich's post-student community. she working behind the bar in a provincial 'niterie'.

Cromer! Cromer! Cromer!

Time? Liquid? Roxy's?

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 15:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I can SO imagine Alan Partridge saying "I was out CLUBBUING last night at LIQUID! Lllllllliquid!".

Band playing the UEA often found it hilarious to come on stage to the 'Sale of the Century' theme tune.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 15:47 (eighteen years ago) link

C/D: LCR nights at UEA?

C/D: LCR nights at UEA?

CLASSIC

― the D Double signal (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 17:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Once I convinced my german friend Bj03rn to attend the LGB (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual) night at the LCR by telling him the acronym LGB stood for "Let's Get Battered") and he dressed up, got quite drunk before heading out, and came back without realizing exactly where / what he'd been to.

― Remy (x Jeremy), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 17:40 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow!!!!!!!!

― DAEREST V1CE MAGAZINE!!!!! (ex machina), Wednesday, 15 June 2005 17:43 (eighteen years ago) link

JtN: which bands?

I don't know that tune.

Barr is and was no rock star, no rock Barr.

― the bellefox, Wednesday, 15 June 2005 19:04 (eighteen years ago) link

not in a literal sense, pf.

apparently all bands playing the uea these days find it absolutely imperative to reference alan partridge too. "hello norwich! spiceworld!" that kind of thing.

― N_RQ, Wednesday, 15 June 2005 19:47 (eighteen years ago) link

My mother just mailed me the latest issue of Ziggurat!

― Semaphore Burns (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 18:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Funnily enough one band I remember doing the 'Sale of the Century' theme were...

...Shelleyan Orphan.

I miss getting Ziggurat. I wonder if it still shows up at my mum's house?

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:54 (eighteen years ago) link

I read with interest that one of my classmates is now a program executive at CH4. :/

And here I am, building databases...

― Semaphore Burns (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks, Mum.

when's East?

― artist, Wednesday, 22 June 2005 22:32 (eighteen years ago) link

If I was in a band playing UEA, I would probably "do" Delia Smith's "Let's be having you!" speech to whip the crowd into a frenzy.

For one exciting moment upthread, I thought Jerry the Nipper's mum had posted.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 17:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh, and those are the results for a filming locations query (i.e. not settings).

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 18:44 (eighteen years ago) link

Some REAL classics there.

I know it well...did you stop just inside the entrance for a pint of bitter?

― Adam In Real Life (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 18:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Did you buy a book that came with a free torch?
