yes, guitar shopping. (Also I want to get you off the bass idea, I want that as my fantasy)

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:02 (nineteen years ago)

I need to get a chorus pedal and a digital delay/sampler, but I can get those locally.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

kate, if my bikelock will go through the handles on your pot i can bring it on sunday. (i mean i can bring it anyway but if we can't lock it up with my bike we'll have to trapise around with it all day.) d'you want me to?

― emsk, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Arrr, I don't want to tramp around with it all day. (Though maybe if we get lost in the woods we can build a fire and make our own curry.) Though you can check if it fits before then!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

Whoa, I have been complaining about having to do all this Worksmart crap, but I've just found out I've got access to everyone's birthdates! It's kind of an eye-opener finding out how much older I am than everyone in my department. Even my *boss* is younger than me! Sheesh!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

Speaking of ages, at the daft battle of the bands for people who work on lads mags thing me and Emsk went to last night, everyone was in their early twenties and was so decidedly uncool. And they all looked the same. I mean, I have highlights, but they all looked like, I dunno, junior girls own Appleton sisters or something. Scary. I'm in a v.good mood now 'cos I took my favourite, bashed up fmbs to the cobblers and they said they could fix them. Hurrah!

― Nobodysprawn, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:06 (nineteen years ago)

Hurrah for fixing shoes, but what is FMBS?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

Erm, fuck me boots. It's not a phrase I coined, nor do I intend to be doing anything sordid in 'em. They are just lovely, sensibly heeled black knee high boots.

― Nobodysprawn, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, and and you kind of feel, y'know, Nancy Sinatra type strutting empowerment in them

― Nobodysprawn, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Ah, yes, I know what Fuck Me Boots (fuck me pumps, etc.) are - I just didn't recognise the acronym. Also known as "boots of sex".

Maybe I need me some of those. Hrmmm. Wait, I bought some but never wear them.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

haha i have just bought the FUNNIEST dress from the charity shop! what can i wear it for...

― emsk, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

Funny peculiar or funny "ha ha"?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

hi kids

― mitya, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

hi, how is it going, have you tried the port 80 version of ilxor.com from work?

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

Mitya! I suppose it's already Friday evening out East.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:54 (nineteen years ago)

Yep. 7pm -- for some reason people decided to order pizza and vino, so we stopped working at 4:30. of course, half the office went back to "work" around 6 when it was all gone, but I came home.

Ed, I think I tried the port 80 thing -- it seems to works sometimes, but not often enough that i didn't get pissed off from not begin able to get it.

― mitya, Friday, 23 March 2007 15:59 (nineteen years ago)

err, "being able to get in" (no i didn't have that much wine ;)

― mitya, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

the vodka was the killer.

I'm off to belgium again in two weeks time and finland the week after. Things be getting busy.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck Me Shoes?
i want a Fuck You Face.

― g-kit, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

Hello all.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

I'm back in london in early april (oddly enough, just in time for poptimism again, i think)

― mitya, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:04 (nineteen years ago)

hurrah, the all day boozefest.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:06 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, Kerr! I'm listening to Fresh Maggots today.

Yay to Mitya coming back to London, you've got to come to the Poptimism boozefest. How long are you here for?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:08 (nineteen years ago)

I sent some more cookies to a few people. Ones that I made for LJ. If you don't already have them, enjoy!
Wb Mitya!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

Mmmm, cookies.

I want real cookies. And coffee. It's coz it's Friday. Ed, Emsk, where are we BOOZING? Maybe I will get dodgy cult food first.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

Emma, Kate, What's GWAN

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:12 (nineteen years ago)

I just finished fitting a Rohloff hub to a bike. God, what a job! Took me all day.

― Pashmina, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

Are GWAN like GWAR? I'm confused.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

I've always wondered how complex they are. Rohloffs are teh sex for engineers, though.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:16 (nineteen years ago)

Where is Emsk running? what pubs are near there?

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:17 (nineteen years ago)

I thought Emsk said she was running tomorrow and Monday because she didn't want to run after drinking, and we were getting home late on Sunday.

But I don't know. I don't want to go very out of the way because I managed to lose my travelcard last night - I only found out this morning when I went to get off the train at City Thameslink - no travelcard. The bloke let me through because I had my receipt from buying it, but that wouldn't work to get anywhere else except home. And it's what - £2 for a bus ride now? Eep!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:19 (nineteen years ago)

OK, I am going to drink after work with colleagues round Kings X so I suggest we do kings X farringdon so you can get home, emsk can get home and I can get the mistress home before I go and get messed up.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:20 (nineteen years ago)

Oh wait, I just turned out my wallet, and found it stuck at the back amidst a bunch of old travelcards. Sheesh! I had two months of weekly travelcards in there!

But still, Kings X/Farringdon/Holborn is a good idea.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:22 (nineteen years ago)

xpost-y:

Two or three days, and I'll tack on the weekend.

― mitya, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

Grrr, make people stop picking on Lemmy on the Ugliest People in Rock thread. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:25 (nineteen years ago)

I am now listening to Guapo. Norman approved prog!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

Once they're set up, they're great, Ed, it's juts the setting up process, argh. there are 2 wires which wrap round a pulley to change the gears, and you have to cut the wires almost exactly right - it always takes me ages. Still, I could do w/selling some more of them @ 700 quid a go.

― Pashmina, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

But he IS! *shrinking away in fear*

― mitya, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:26 (nineteen years ago)

Lemmy is *NOT* ugly!

OK, he's got warts now.

But he was TOTALLY HOTTT when he was in Hawkwind. Are you kidding?

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

I think Guapo are on Kate's dvdr's so maybe Kate can join in! (unless she's listening to VDGG)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:29 (nineteen years ago)

Most people only think of Lemmy as = Warts.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:30 (nineteen years ago)

I think I've seen Guapo. I can only eat one cookie at a time.

Don't make me go posting hundreds of pictures of young DDB Lemmy to prove my point.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:33 (nineteen years ago)

Does that mean we can talk about jazz each pic?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

No, that was only Julian Barratt. I get as many free Lemmys as I like.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

Today will just totally NOT END. I don't understand; the rest of the week went so quickly.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

We need a new cooler on monday.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

We can't start a new cooler until the old survey is complete! I set it for a month, I didn't realise we were this chatty.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:50 (nineteen years ago)

what should poll lengths be in future?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

I like having them run for a month. It kind of sets a defined time limit on the threads now that the database is so fast it doesn't really matter how long they get.

Next thread has *got* to be called "Watercooler Twenty-Twenty-Twenty-Four Hours To Go, I Wanna Be Sedated" though.

Eep, I have to be careful searching for Hawkwind photos from work, cause every time I think I've hit a cache, whoops! Up pops nekkid Stacia, whoops. Can't have my boss seeing that.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

This may be a game I should play at home.

― Ed, Friday, 23 March 2007 16:56 (nineteen years ago)
