I went on a boat in the Everglades, and I saw tons of alligators. I even tipped generously in bars!

Don't suppose you bumped into delboy and rodney?

Is Clint Eastwood, Davis Love and the Fogle-parents not enough? Yeah, OK, I met them. Crockett and Tubbs too. And Gentle Ben. In my trip to THE FICTIONAL EIGHTIES FLORIDA.

No flipper, no credibility.

Did you go to Kennedy? Did they melt your heart? Do you want to be an engineer now?

Hello 'Cooler!

My parents have moved on to Paris, and although K's parents are still here, the main event has passed. Not too bad, all told. Everyone was on their best behavior, got along well, seemed to like each other. I was the designated chaperone during the days, taking them all around LDN, to see the sights, to the tate, to the theatre (Don Johnson in Guys&Dolls LOL). I'm happy to have nothing to do today (aside from pick up MORE theatre tickets for K's parents).

Actually the only real stress that came out of the visit/meeting was about wedding dates, and that completely from my side, as my mother is apparently very Jewish when it comes to when a wedding can be, but not so much for ALL OTHER ASPECTS OF LIFE.

will their be klezmer?

― Ed, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

Please say there will be klezmer.

― Ed, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:39 (nineteen years ago)

A Little bit of fun for those who have a Last FM account

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

And Morning all.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:42 (nineteen years ago)

It doesn't work, Kerr, even if you put a dot in before "com".

(morning!)

― Forest Pines, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

I am 5.49% mainstream.

― Ed, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:44 (nineteen years ago)

Morning Kerr!

There will not be klezmer. It's not going to be a Jewish wedding! (Aside from a few 'elements'). Which my parents are fine with. What they (read: my mom) is not fine with, is having it on a Saturday. Or a Friday night. Or anytime in the days before, after, or on the high holidays.

― G00blar, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:48 (nineteen years ago)

Oy!

So is it going to be a town hall wedding? The council chamber that Mr and Mrs HAnd had theirs in in Islington town hall is pretty spanky, if very very RED.

― Ed, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

Civil ceremony. But in Montenegro!

― G00blar, Thursday, 22 March 2007 11:58 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Gooblar, Ed, FP!
http://mainstream.freevicente.com/ is the url if anyone wants to try for a bit of fun. It was Hari who showed me the site.
Rock 'n Roll! You are 7.96 % mainstream!
my pfunkboy account (with all my funk and jazz) fared a bit better
Rock 'n Roll! You are 3.78 % mainstream!

Ed> Did you get that Hawkwind related email? I sent it to a few of you incase there was some cd's/lp's/dvd's you were looking for.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 12:01 (nineteen years ago)

I did, and there are a few Iw ill order, however I have just bought about 4 cds which need to arrive and be listened to first (Ash Ra Tempel - Ash Ra Tempel,Bonzo Dog Band - (Songs Of) - Songs The Bonzo Dog Band Taught Us - A Prehistory Of The Bonzos, and a couple of broken social scene ones, Grails on pre-order)

― Ed, Thursday, 22 March 2007 12:03 (nineteen years ago)

The 1st Ash Ra Tempel is AWESOME!

I'll get the Grails on vinyl from TRL when it comes out. It will be after the cd though sadly.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

It's quiet today.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

I don't like Ash Ra Tempel's 1st album much... or them, for that matter. Ed, if you thought Steve Hillage was masturbatory!!!!!

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

I prefer a circle jerk or soggy biscuit to solo performance masturbation.

― Ed, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:23 (nineteen years ago)

The ash ra tempel album rules.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Each to his own Krautrock...

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

I bet we all have our own faves. Like Kate's compilation would've been different to all ours.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:55 (nineteen years ago)

I like that Ash Ra Tempel album with the looney singer on it

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

Rock 'n Roll! You are 1.02 % mainstream!

I was hoping for a lower number.

Also, on the krautrock tip, I will say again: LA DUSSELDORF!

(Right, got to get back to actual work now.)

― emil.y, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:25 (nineteen years ago)

Creedence appears to be what is pushing my number up.

― Ed, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:27 (nineteen years ago)

emil.y is so indie!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

... can't go wrong, etc

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Viva

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

Can't go wrong with either La Dusseldorf or Creedence!

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 14:55 (nineteen years ago)

Indeed!!!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

i called the student loans ppl and they said they sent my form out 2 days ago, hurrah. this means i will get it in may.

― emsk, Thursday, 22 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

Hooray for money!

Hooray for me. I think. In that I'm feeling better.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 22 March 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

I'm feeling worse :(

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

dada did you get that finnish comp?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

Oh Jesus, I keep forgetting I have a gmail account

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 16:38 (nineteen years ago)

haha
I hope cookies haven't expired past the use by date

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

I don't see anything Finnish, I do see "Space Ritual", cheers! It's not prog is it?

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 16:56 (nineteen years ago)

haha no, i will get the form in may. then i will send it back recorded delivery with copies of 5 weeks' payslips, and they will phone me up and say they haven't got it and i will get them to send me another ans send it back to them again. then they will make threatening phonecalls to me and (this is the part i like least) send a threatening letter to my grandmother who will call me, worried, and not be entirely convinced by my reassurances that it's ok, they're a bnch of cockfarmers (no i do not use that sort of language to her) and eventually, after about 2 months of to-ing and fro-ing, they will say "oh yeah. you're making a pittance. here's your deferment, you sad sorry fuck." I HATE THEM FOR THEIR SHEER INCOMPETENCE.

― emsk, Thursday, 22 March 2007 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

check your email in a few

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

You get it?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 17:09 (nineteen years ago)

.... errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, yeah, should I be thanking for you this tho... I'm wondering!

― Tom D., Thursday, 22 March 2007 17:11 (nineteen years ago)

haha. charming!

I think emil.y and Ed liked it. No idea if Kate did.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 22 March 2007 17:16 (nineteen years ago)

No flipper, no credibility.

Now, now, I *did* go out in a boat in the Everglades and saw lots of dolphins up close, a family of five, including an ickle baby one were swimming round our boat and leaping through the waves created by our wake.

I didn't get to Kennedy, no. It's on my list of things to do when we go back. We were restricted by familial commitments, people to see and whathaveyou. It'll happen.

― ailsa, Thursday, 22 March 2007 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

I want this to remain.

I very nearly just wrote 'OTM' in the margin of a student's paper.

― G00blar, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:01 (nineteen years ago)

I thought better of it in time, and put a check mark.

― G00blar, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:01 (nineteen years ago)

At least it wasn't OMGWTF!!!11

I wonder if that will ever happen to Louis? ;)
