It'd be good if there was East Anglian Who tribute band called The Ouse - there might be

They had a hit with "Only one Wmn"

i had chicken pox for 2 or 3 weeks when i was about 8, caught in school. i had hella bad german measles a couple of years earlier, caught in a swimming pool in france. isn't the can't-have-both thing that it's really good if you have chicken pox when you're a kid because then you can't get shingles (like 2000 times worse apparently) when you're an adult, hence parents sending their kids to play with kids who already have the pox? though i'm sure someone told me they knew someone who did have both.

Not only was that an xpost, but the message explaining the xpost is way xposted.

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

The Shingles - its' another 60s beat group!

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:36 (nineteen years ago)

Rosemary Clooney and later Shakin' Stevens informed us that they ain't got time to fix the shingles.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:38 (nineteen years ago)

No, no, no, that's completely wrong, Emsk. Shingles is a recurrant outbreak of the Pox - you can only get the Shingles if you have *already* had the pox - it is a retrovirus like herpes. In fact, it is a variant of the herpes virus.

People send their kids to pox parties because it's fairly harmless when you are ickle - the scarring and sometimes the symptoms are worse when you are an adult.

Maybe we should stop talking about this, because we are probably doing nothing to assuage Nath's paranoia! (Though I love disease talk - I should have been an epidemeologist.)

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:43 (nineteen years ago)

(It was Hasbeen who had Shingles - I stayed home to nurse him and missed ATP because of it. In view of his later hijinx, I really should have just gone without him.)

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

I meant measles and german measles. massive x-post

Norman are you on AIM today? Nathalie?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:46 (nineteen years ago)

Is everyone itching yet?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

not itching but full of snot. this is an IRRITATING cold, it has no effects whatsoever except to make me constantly full of snot. i feel really sorry for the other 2 people in this bit of the office, i must be nearly as irritating to them blowing my nose all day as my nose is to me making me blow it.

― emsk, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, I totally got the itchies reading Wiki, especially with all the full colour pictures of the pox.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

in my first job here I had to check the colour pics in the 10 or so dermatology journals we publish. nice.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 13:51 (nineteen years ago)

Everyone is too itchy to post just now.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:01 (nineteen years ago)

No, I went out on a healthful, wake-me-up walk around the block. But made it somewhat less healthful by buying some Ferrero Roche. Oh ambassador, you are spoiling us.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

I hope it turns out to be nothing, nathelie.

Whilst googling about the Bellzouki I found out that yes there is a sparkly purple DC12

but not where to buy one.

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

They don't seem to have the 12-strings on their website any more. :-(

I should look up the Danelectros, too.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

Everyone is too itchy to post just now.

insensitive bastard! :-)

― nathalie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:38 (nineteen years ago)

Discontinued! Man!

Though they are still available in hot pink for as little as £99.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

where from?

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:42 (nineteen years ago)

ah here we go

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

That's a daisyrock not a danelectro

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:46 (nineteen years ago)

"Mumps" is an area of and railway station in Oldham

― Forest Pines, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:47 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, that was what I was talking about. Can't find Danelectro 12-strings anywhere except eBay so I imagine they're discontinued, too. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:48 (nineteen years ago)

Oh wait, I have found some Danelectros, but they are all about £300. And mostly have to be ordered.

Found a PURPLE sparkly one on eBay, but it had already gone. :-(

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

I need to do some work and stop looking at all the different ways of tuning a guitar in 5ths.

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

bah why cant I link today

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

99 quid daisy rock 12 is a left hander (i can't remember if you play LH or RH) right-hander is 129 quid, which is pretty cheap, I must admit. mine did need a bit of setting up & stuff after I got it, but at 129 quid, maybe that's not much of an issue.

― Pashmina, Thursday, 29 March 2007 14:58 (nineteen years ago)

Pash, are you doing the ILXVol3 track?

― Mark G, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

Bah, that will teach me to read the small print. I am a rightie. Can play bass and drums leftie, but not guitar.

I tried one in the shops last weekend, but was not impressed with the action, it felt all wrong. The shop offered free set-up, but I did not fall in love with it.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:00 (nineteen years ago)

Why does that song Barabajagal make me so irrationally happy?

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

Yes Mark, I am (I'm not at the moment, I'm fixing a DC02 right now, but I'm off work a bit next week, so I'll try to finish it off then)

― Pashmina, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

bah I shall be driving back from belgium. Will it be monthly? Can we turn all songs into krautrock epics and play there?

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

I think we may have to turn all songs into tinkly spacerock psychedelia. Which is in NO WAY a problem with me.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

Can we have naked tambourine players?

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

Damn, I forgot to bring my tambourine!

Shit, I also forgot to bring CABLES. I was going to use the guitar under my desk so I didn't bring anything with me.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:30 (nineteen years ago)

Why do all these things end up happening at the Enterprise? Other end of London, hello. Bah.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

Mmm, thanks for the cookies, Kerr!

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:34 (nineteen years ago)

The Enterprise pub? I like that pub.

― Tom D., Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:37 (nineteen years ago)

It's all the way up in Chalk Farm!

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Last chalk farm southbound tubes are at 0012 and 0020

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

Last stockwell brixton is 0046 which is only 4 mins after the northern line gets there which is a cutting it a little fine.

― Ed, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, the Northern Line is never the problem - it runs quite late. It's that Stockwell connection. If you miss it, you are stranded in Stockwell, which is not a nice place to be in the wee hours of the morning.

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

or ever.

― Grandpont Genie, Thursday, 29 March 2007 15:57 (nineteen years ago)

No, it's OK during the day because there is a bus that goes to Streatham. OK, it's a bit of a mad bus which goes to Streatham via Clapham (go figure) but it does get there in the end.
