What league are we talkng about? Is it about having sex with freshers? I have certainly never done that.

I guess we're both in the softballs league then.

Barms, unless my memory's totally gone to buggery you're *extremely* good-looking. Why the modesty all the time?

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 16 September 2004 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

you never showed him enough attention!

Ronan and Barima watch the girls go by

jesus christ

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 16 September 2004 15:56 (twenty-one years ago)

That guy looks identical to Billy Bragg, but I assume it's not him.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 16 September 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Billy Bragg doesn't wear glasses!

― the neurotic rassafrassa of harrumph (blueski), Thursday, 16 September 2004 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

No, the white guy.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 16 September 2004 15:59 (twenty-one years ago)

nick, you are ridiculous sometimes.

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 16 September 2004 16:10 (twenty-one years ago)

except when I like you.

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 16 September 2004 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

For a while there I thought they had the most awesome milkshakes in the world.

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 16 September 2004 16:21 (twenty-one years ago)

That guy looks nothing like Billy Bragg. Stop saying everyone looks like Billy Bragg. I am still confused. The Princess Louise has the nicest toilets in the world. How, in the world, has Alba never been there?

I like the sound.

― Ally C (Ally C), Thursday, 16 September 2004 17:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe I have been. I don't know. There have been so many.

― Alba (Alba), Thursday, 16 September 2004 17:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I think even I've been.

― cºzen (Cozen), Thursday, 16 September 2004 17:40 (twenty-one years ago)

A love story built on honest, clever, quiet jubilation--steering clear of mushiness and sentamentalism--JUMP TOMORROW interweaves the lives and dreams of three unique characters. George, aka Jorge (Tunde Adebimpe), is a sweet, shy man with deadpan facial expressions and a monotone voice. But underneath his stoic surface, Jorge is a true tiger with wild dreams and a passion for life. He takes a few days off work to travel to Niagara Falls where he is to meet his bride, Sophie, for a marriage arranged by his African relatives. On the way to Niagara, Jorge meets Gérard (Hippolyte Girardot), an outspoken French man with his heart on his sleeve whose would-be fiancée has just refused to marry him. The two forlorn men are invited to a party by a beautiful, exciting Spanish woman, Alicia (Natalia Verbeke), with whom Jorge falls instantly in love. The rest of the film is a game of leapfrog, with the unlikely--but perfectly compatible--pair of Jorge and Gérard piggybacking Alicia and her spaced out Canadian boyfriend, Nathan, along the highway to Niagara Falls...and beyond.

That lovely place what went to near Waterloo.

Was it the Kings Arms?

Will Mooro come?

He would like to, so he will try, but the work devils might be against him.

Why does Vanessa Felch on 'Cosmetic Surgery Live' remind me of Alba? I don't suspect him to have had Botox yet, but there is something going on there.

― Mooro (Mooro), Thursday, 16 September 2004 18:45 (twenty-one years ago)

N: I think I didn't get why you needed to make a sound file, and how you made it. Also, I have never had a computer that can play such things to me. So I have not heard it.

― the bellefox, Saturday, 18 September 2004 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I watched some Cosmetic Surgery Live. I think it was a man-woman who had had tits. They were saying wowo your tits look fantastic but they didn't, they looked like two lumps of fucking play-do.

Yes, that's the one, Mooro.

Can someone, preferably Carsmile, do the map thing for this Freud's Place. I hope it's not poncey.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Saturday, 18 September 2004 10:03 (twenty-one years ago)

That penultimate line was terrific.

― the bellefox, Saturday, 18 September 2004 10:09 (twenty-one years ago)

What, 'yes, that the one, Mooro'?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Saturday, 18 September 2004 10:12 (twenty-one years ago)

I have typing problems today.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Saturday, 18 September 2004 10:12 (twenty-one years ago)

No: the one with the hidden sinister retro reference.

― the bellefox, Saturday, 18 September 2004 10:15 (twenty-one years ago)

― Ed (dali), Saturday, 18 September 2004 11:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't know there was a hidden sinister retro reference.

Thank you, Ed.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Sunday, 19 September 2004 10:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Cor, it looks like it's right in the middle of one of those nuclear bomb maps from the 80s.

Is Lincoln's Inn Fields good at all?

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Sunday, 19 September 2004 10:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Very. you can walk through the inns of court right down to the rivervhardly having to see a car.

― Ed (dali), Sunday, 19 September 2004 11:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know if it still operates nowadays, but there used to be a nocturnal soup kitchen run in Lincoln's Inn Fields.

Probably no longer necessary though, seeing as London doesn't have a homeless problem any more.

― Mooro (Mooro), Sunday, 19 September 2004 15:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Is that a post-pub suggestion?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Sunday, 19 September 2004 17:36 (twenty-one years ago)

To sleep on the street?

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 19 September 2004 21:52 (twenty-one years ago)

A bit of the old poverty tourism - it's all the rage.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 19 September 2004 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

You could just come round to our flat.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 19 September 2004 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

I've done that already - this is a nationwide poverty tour.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 19 September 2004 21:59 (twenty-one years ago)

ally's flat reminded me of my friend toby's house in london. toby's old house, rather. the third floor was about to collapse so he finally had to move out.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 19 September 2004 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Twitch said a similar reason had forced them to relocate the brwh. Maybe he should hold the next one at Ally's flat.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 19 September 2004 22:05 (twenty-one years ago)

Anyway, I am very much looking forward to Wednesday, whatever happens.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 19 September 2004 22:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I shouldn't tempt fate like that. Apologies if the world ends.

― Alba (Alba), Sunday, 19 September 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

ally's flat?

don't believe the hype.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 19 September 2004 22:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Fight The Power.

― Ally C (Ally C), Sunday, 19 September 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

fear of a cack planet.

― RJG (RJG), Sunday, 19 September 2004 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

you two.

― lauren (laurenp), Sunday, 19 September 2004 22:40 (twenty-one years ago)

My heavy friends (I think they are still friends) were commenting on the lack of poor peoaple on the streets and then as if by magic there was an old woman widdling in the middle of the pavement. I tried to explain Cardboard City in Spanish to no avail. Later on in the week realised it was much more effective to just make things up.

Assuming I can afford to come at all, I will be in London EARLY DOORS on Wednesday to do something INTERESTING yet to be decided, so if anyone wants to chum up, just say the word.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 20 September 2004 07:23 (twenty-one years ago)

What time are people going to be a Freud? I'm wondering if I can stop by on my way to rehearsal. A couple of Long Island Iced Teas might stop me from bottling Pete again.

― The 120 Days Of Streatham (kate), Monday, 20 September 2004 07:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I saw peeing, in the street, in madrid, once.

― RJG (RJG), Monday, 20 September 2004 08:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Par for the course for them lot.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Monday, 20 September 2004 09:03 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll be there 5.30ish, I think, if I make it at all, which I probably will.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 20 September 2004 09:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I am hoping to be there by five.

― Alba (Alba), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:32 (twenty-one years ago)

18:10

― Ed (dali), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:39 (twenty-one years ago)

― teh pow! (blueski), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Sometime between ten past Martin and quarter to Gareth.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:43 (twenty-one years ago)

See, this is much better than your feeble 'clock' system!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 20 September 2004 10:44 (twenty-one years ago)
