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.

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

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.

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? ;)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:09 (nineteen years ago)

I doubt it. He'd have to be right sometime :-)

― ailsa, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:12 (nineteen years ago)

if I ever have to mark a student paper, I may succumb...

― unfished business, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:13 (nineteen years ago)

I wasn't talking about you marking.....

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

and :-P at ailsa, whom i earlier spent roughly three hours (in essence) rigorously defending. :-D

― unfished business, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:14 (nineteen years ago)

i shall make my 14 year-old brother mark my upcoming dissertation. then we shall see.

― unfished business, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:15 (nineteen years ago)

Just wait til he finds out about ilx..

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:55 (nineteen years ago)

NO NO NO NO

― unfished business, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:56 (nineteen years ago)

That's funny, I bet everyone else reading was thinking the same!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 01:57 (nineteen years ago)

I'm back now, you can all stop having a good time now.

My bloody sinuses are killing me. I'm not built for this IT'S SPRING, no IT'S SNOWING, no IT'S SPRING no IT'S SNOWING!!! weather.

But I'm happy coz rehearsal last night was so much fun. Ed, I have the Electric Mistress for you today to try out, but watch out, she eats batteries like she eats men.

I still need a good Mang Name.

Where are we going for celebratory drinks tonight?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:15 (nineteen years ago)

Do I need a girl name? I'm not very happy with Edwina.

Beaver DeBeauvoir is my Tranny/stripper name but I need something more ladylike for everyday.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:20 (nineteen years ago)

Busy busy busy.

Band #2 has a bubblegum song with funky bass clavinet!

― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

What's a good stomp box analogue resonant filter?

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

Rehearsal was indeed fun last night, I've now got the Sticky and brown oho oho oh bit down, I should have the chord changes in just like friends sorted soon as well.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

Bubblegum bass clavinet?!?! Excellent!

What's not to like about Edwina, Edie? (You just need a Patsy. And some vodka)

My name doesn't turn male very easily, like Manlee and Mannemarie. :-( I mean, I used to have an inner homosexual called Kevin, but I need to get in touch with inner Rock Pig.

But I suppose that's it - AMP and Lisa are such girly girls that they have butch inner men. I'm such a Boy most of the time that my inner man is a flouncing ponce.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:28 (nineteen years ago)

Mate?

― Mark G, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:30 (nineteen years ago)

Why is it still so cold? Bloody Arctic front. Need more coffee.

― G00blar, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

Coffeee... oh god, I was hoping Wednesday was an aberration, but I wants it even more now.

Where is caffeine on that list of government drugs? This shit is way more addictive than speed.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:39 (nineteen years ago)

Yes - the bass clav sounds so fantastic. I can't wait to play this song live - it's Chicory Tip meets.....actually it's just Chicory Tip. I fully expect it to go to the top of the hit parade.

So are thee gurls back in Shimura Kurves then, Kate?

― Dr.C, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:39 (nineteen years ago)

Manlee is back in the band. Manmarie wants to take time off to finish her book. (I want her to finish her book, too - it's a history of old school Riot Grrl, v. v. cool.)

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:43 (nineteen years ago)

Oh yeah, also...

http://www.nikkihirst.co.uk/aprilflyer.jpg

My mistake - the 21st April, down in my neck of the woods. Awesome!

Also, Emsk, do you have a contact for the Flowers of Hell? We should talk about doing another gig with them and Kontakte.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:45 (nineteen years ago)

I think I am free that weekend. I shall be there. They have consistently great flyer designs at NOTLS

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:47 (nineteen years ago)

There is also one on Old Street on the 14th, if I may utilise your couch before we go MEGALITH HUNTING!!!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, I think this is a plan. Have you ever slept on my famous sofa?

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

Errr... no. It's not very comfortable these days, is it? You still had a second bedroom when I lived there, before it was turned into the MANDOLIN CAVE.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:54 (nineteen years ago)

If I tidy the cave, and someone does something with the boxes they dumped there, then there is a futon that can be rolled out.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

i have emailed you a contact email address for flowers of hell, kaet.

― emsk, Friday, 23 March 2007 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

Argh, how did I become organising person? I hate organising things.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

I am a shy and retiring flower and should not be allowed to talk to people.

Oh well, I will email him and say hello.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:02 (nineteen years ago)

― emsk, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:03 (nineteen years ago)

What I mean is - thanks!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:03 (nineteen years ago)

I will organise, but I don't know how to shot organise a gig.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:05 (nineteen years ago)

Ed on Friday, 23 March 2007 10:21 (42 minutes ago)

The Frostwave "Funk-a-Duck" is pretty great!

http://www.frostwave.com/

― Pashmina, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:08 (nineteen years ago)

Argh, Emsk, that is complicated. (Iraq? Argh!)

How to shot gig - uh, um. How I've always done it is, err, get a bunch of bands to agree they want to play together, which is the easy part. Then you have to find a venue.

Some venues, you just tell them what bands you want and they say "fine" (like the Windmill, this is why I like the place) - others you have to approach through a promoter and they are supposed to do all the organising but usually they do very little, and just take all the money. (Depends on the promoter, obv. some are lovely but lots aren't.) And then some venues they want you to do the whole thing and hire the hall up front and promote it all yourself.

Then some have weird deals - the Buffalo Bars it used to be that they didn't charge you for the venue, and you got to keep everything you made ont he door, but they had to make a certain amount on the bar or they would keep your deposit.

it's all so CONFUSING.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:10 (nineteen years ago)

Also we should ask to play more of the shoegazing clubs around town. Like AC-30 and Club Goonight (I think the latter said they would have us before). And I should really ask Nat if we can play a Sonic Cathedral some time but I love love love Sonic Cathedral so much I'd just about die if we got to play it so I'm scared to ask. I am a FULE.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:12 (nineteen years ago)

The fact that I actually hate one of my students means it's probably good that this is the end of term (and thus, effectively, the end of the year). GET OUT OF MY LIFE.

Forgot to say--Congrats Emsk!

― G00blar, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

I always wondered how hard it would be to teach someone you ACTIVELY HATED.

Phew, I got really scared - just got an email from my boss saying could we be in Brighton by 9AM next Wednesday, and back in Holborn for noon. Uh... NO. I can barely make it to the shower by 9AM, let alone. But it turns out that it was meant for the other Katharine.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:28 (nineteen years ago)

Hello everyone. My database that I thougth was finished isn't, so I've been urshing around fixing that this week. Anything interesting happened while I was away? (I could just read the thread I guess . . . )

I also walked into (and may have helped cause!) the shitstorm on the Ronaldinho thread. Now I feel bad. I think I got called a racist, although in that thread it's hard to tell.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:30 (nineteen years ago)

I stand by my comments calling the whole boiling lot of you fucking insane.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:31 (nineteen years ago)

Nah, you didn't cause anything. Aside from a few snark-masters, I think the general perception was that you were at least being honest and open about your impressions and knowledge (or lack thereof) of certain associations. At least that was my perception.

― G00blar, Friday, 23 March 2007 11:32 (nineteen years ago)
