Heh, yes, I think the incredibly cheesy pizza we ordered hasn't helped much either. But it was sooo goooooooood.

Oh, you lot, blaming the haagen daaz and the cheesey pizza when we all know it was the EIGHT BEERS and the FORTY-SEVEN SHOTS OF BRANDY what did the damage.

I am having burritoes tonight. I cannot wait. Num.

If the pub had had more than pickled eggs and crisps then there would have been no such problem.

― Ed, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:45 (nineteen years ago)

Heh it's like this every monday on the cooler.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Well, who picked the pub?

You have only yourself to blame.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Heh it's like this every ~~mon~~day on the cooler.

Fixed!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

It was a lovely, pub with lovely smooth fast drinking beer (let's blame the beer for being easy to drink, nay calling out to be drunk).

― Ed, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

Blaming the beer, whatever next? that pint of golden ale was a damn floozy, it was calling out to be drunked by the bucket.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

Heh it's like this every ~~mon~~day on the cooler.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the last couple of times I've been on here I've complained about a hangover and then disappeared. My life is so varied and interesting.

― emil.y, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:51 (nineteen years ago)

we have the nascent egg of a plan that involves you.

― Ed, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

Eek! It might just be my hangover, but "nascent egg" is freaking me out, proper style.

― emil.y, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:56 (nineteen years ago)

So long as the egg isn't pickled, I think we're alright.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 13:57 (nineteen years ago)

Afternoon there. How's things? I've not been around much.

Hey, FP, the usual. Hangovers and guitars. How's things with you? Why are you so busy?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 14:00 (nineteen years ago)

I've been ill myself, but not with a hangover, just with a nasty cold. Still feeling a bit sleepy and under the weather, and it left things feeling a bit awkward at the weekend. Relationship things: the weekend left me feeling like a disappointment, for various reasons, and there are a few other relationship issues I'm worrying about too.

(note to self: do not use ILX to ask for relationship advice)

I am having burritoes tonight. I cannot wait. Num.

having a case of the osbournes? (this only works if you watch reruns of teh show)

I AM CRAVING PIZZA BIG STYLEE. Pizza and chocolatey waffles. YUM YUM.

― nathalie, Monday, 26 March 2007 14:10 (nineteen years ago)

Argh, new comptroller wants me to teach someone else how to do MonthEnd. I don't think I want to.

1) Everyone around here are idiots, they will fuck it up in some way.

2) If someone else knows how to do it, I am more sackable

3) Honestly, I'd have to figure out how I do it and write guidelines and directions and stuff and I'm not sure I could. I just have this ... psychic connection to the data and can *feel* when it is wrong.

Only bonus would be... occasionally getting holiday at the beginning of the month. How do I not train anyone else without making it seem underhanded?

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 14:13 (nineteen years ago)

Dude, I've just been friended by the GHERKIN!!!

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 14:44 (nineteen years ago)

Despite emailing me back Dr Scientist still has not friended me.

― Ed, Monday, 26 March 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

Also Dr scientist has a filter with step sequencer on breadbord which he doesn't know when he is going to put in a little box.

― Ed, Monday, 26 March 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

I am now listening to the 1st VDGG album. Very underrated. "Afterwards" is one of my very fave songs.
Anyone want cookies?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 26 March 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

Spencer Percival was at home when I got here.

― Ed, Monday, 26 March 2007 16:43 (nineteen years ago)

i have been searching the interweb to figure out wtf uis wrong with my stupid ankle (it is 100% fine when nothing's touching it, been cycling and walking and jumping around today and no probs at all) and i think i have done something to my peroneal tendon, which i have never heard of before. hm.

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 16:46 (nineteen years ago)

hi kids

― mitya, Monday, 26 March 2007 16:48 (nineteen years ago)

Hi (Dr) Mitya!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:04 (nineteen years ago)

Hi, Mitya!

Argh, I have been hard coding a mock-up of the horrible report of all things. I just need to reinforce the idea that this gets done ONCE AND ONLY ONCE as I'd shoot myself if I had to do it again - and I've only done one team. Out of about 16. Bah.

Emsk, be careful with tendon things, because it hurting at all is a sign of being something wrong - I ignored my ankle problems for ages because they didn't hurt when I wasn't wearing the stupid shoes. But my ankles are permanently damaged now. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:06 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, that is what a few runners' advice sites told me. should i take it to the doctor? but it seems so TRIVIAL :/

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:13 (nineteen years ago)

It's never trivial.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:15 (nineteen years ago)

It *might* be trivial, don't put the fear of God into the poor girl! "ha Emsk, you're fucked", or whatever = not helpful. It may just be because you're using muscles and tendons that you don't normally use.

― ailsa, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:19 (nineteen years ago)

Go see the doctor.

― Ed, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:21 (nineteen years ago)

(but, yeah, go and see a doctor)

― ailsa, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

i will call nhs direct and see what they say.

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:22 (nineteen years ago)

I wasn't saying it was bad. I was merely responding to emsk when she said it seemed too trivial to see a doctor, that it's never too trivial to see one. Doctors always say to see them if there's something wrong. Better safe than sorry.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:26 (nineteen years ago)

this is true. but they are surrounded by people who think it is their job to keep you away from the doctor. and hackney docs are busy busy. srsly my gp fucking RULES, i really landed on my feet, but his receptionists SUCK, they are so bitchy. in the 2.5 years i've lived there i've been to see him twice, and both times the receptionist was like "you want to see a doctor. for THAT. are you for real?" then he was all "yes yes you are right to come and see me! don't listen to them". weird.

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

ooh i put that full stop in a weird place.

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

i really landed on my feet

Awkwardly? Was that what fucked your ankles?

― ailsa, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:36 (nineteen years ago)

lol :)

― emsk, Monday, 26 March 2007 17:38 (nineteen years ago)

Morning all!

How's your ankle today, emsk?

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 07:40 (nineteen years ago)

morning! thanks for asking cj, how are you? it's fine because i haven't been wearing shoes that touch the bone... it's weird, the pain feels like a bruise, it's on top of and slightly above/behind the knobbly ankle bone, and it only hurts when there's something touching it. even then sometimes it's just a bit irritating and pretty much ignorable, and sometimes it's ARGH ARGH LEG IS BUCKLING. last night i went for a run (7 x 2 minutes with 1 x 5 minutes at the end, woo! 1st 5 minutes...) and it was completely fine. this morning it's still completely fine.

god it looks GORGEOUS out there this morning, i can't wait to get out. i have to do the washing up first though.

― emsk, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 07:55 (nineteen years ago)

Unexplained pain/weakness like that is really disconcerting - I never know whether I should be worried about it or not. I had this peculiar sharp ankle pain on Saturday which came on quite suddenly and hurt like crazy making it difficult to dorsiflex my foot, but it was all okay again by the evening. Odd. Sometimes I think we pull or strain a muscle without realising it and all it takes is some rest or ibuprofen or a neoprene support for a while, to give it a chance to heal itself. I'm glad your ankle is okay again today!

I'm all bungled-up with cold. How can I be unwell AGANE? I only recently got over flu, and now I'm coughing and spluttering all over again. It's not fair :(

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:05 (nineteen years ago)

hackney docs are busy busy.

why is this? are there fewer docs per capita? Or is Hackney full of ill ppl?

Definitely go see the doc emsk. I have always found it weird here that, in a country with free healthcare at the point of delivery, we say "mustn't bother the doc over something so trivial whereas in, Germany and Russia say, they are rushing to the doc at the v first cough.

god it looks GORGEOUS out there this morning

wish it did here -- Oxford is coated with FOG. and it's chilly again. If 2007 has taught me anything, it's never to be surprised by the weather.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:09 (nineteen years ago)

The fog-on-the-Isis will lift soon, Mark. It's supposed to be nice here later.

― C J, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:10 (nineteen years ago)

good!

I am going to London tonite to see I'm from Barcelona again! At Koko!

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:11 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah go and make sure.

Hari's band has made an ep. He's no 3 on the O1nk charts!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:11 (nineteen years ago)

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:13 (nineteen years ago)

― H-ari A-shurst, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:14 (nineteen years ago)

Bloody hell hari. Do you have text alerts when your name is mentioned on here?

Where can we buy them? I'm in for a copy!! "Go Electric" is bloody great!!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 27 March 2007 08:15 (nineteen years ago)
