Now you've lost me

Mmmm, cookies. ::droools::

Argh, I want giant chocolate double chocolate chip cookies. And a cup of coffee. God good, I'm pre-menstral, no wonder. Maybe I should just go and get the cookies. I need to get cash for tonight anyway, might as well get it at Sainsburys.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

I have your cookie trading email

btw who would've thought that the Britpop thread would turn out so good.
kate, are Flowers Of Hell british?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:32 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, British. Though their guitarist has a non-English accent, not sure where from, tho, possibly Canadian? Emsk would know where they were from. Emsk?

No, I want real cookies. I will probably end up in a coma if I eat that much sugar but I don't care.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:34 (nineteen years ago)

people already hate the 'Cooler

It's been great lately. No fighting at all this week!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

you'd like it in this office. always plenty of free food of various kinds, inc cookies. It is said that an employee could live off free food here quite easily.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:35 (nineteen years ago)

We just got brought doughnuts,

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

Krispy Kreme?

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:36 (nineteen years ago)

My mum got me a bag of 5 jam doughnuts from Asda for 58p. Lots of jam in them too.
YUM

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:40 (nineteen years ago)

I bought TRULY INDULGENT COOKIES (like the ones we had a rehearsal last week) and it turns out that everyone in the office has has such a big lunch that no one wants them!

If I eat all four, I'm going to die. Probably from exploding.

Touring band lineup includes david francolini, christian hayes and laurence o'keefe. holy shit!

― Pashmina, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

No, not very good ones at all, but still, free doughnuts

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:50 (nineteen years ago)

But you will die happy.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

HOOOOOOORAY I AM DONE TEACHING FOR THE DAY.

Woot!

― G00blar, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:51 (nineteen years ago)

That Dragons site just totally fucked with my browswer, argh. :-(

Ohmigod now coffee. I have just read in the Reformation book that one of the Protestant revolutions was inspired by a group of Protestants eating sausages during Lent, so I'm having coffee. Next, 95 theses nailed to the Moderator Request Board.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:54 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha ha, my mother just sent me this email that was totally imcomprehensible until I realised she was replying to my PS about the NHS, no the email about the Church of England.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:56 (nineteen years ago)

And I second the recommendation for '45', it's awesome squared. Best bits are the chapter on the M25 and the one with him wandering around a shopping centre. And Ba Ba Ga, which still breaks my heart.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:57 (nineteen years ago)

Huh, I've read the bit about him wandering around the M25 with Ian Sinclaire for London Orbital.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

I feel like I'm on drugs now, this is great. If I eat another cookie, will I die?

A ha ha ha, it is not Jazz, it is Atilla the Stockbroker, alright.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

for me the best things are
when he's in the library, commenting on the ppl he sees and reading all the signs out like a kid

when he's using his kids as slave labour and putting the records in their sleeves in Scandanavia

when he's handing out the Tennents Super to the homeless ppl on New Year's Eve and getting into an argument with the homeless charity ppl

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:02 (nineteen years ago)

I've not read 45, but has anyone here read Bad Wisdom, the one he did with Zodiac Mindwarp about travelling to the North Pole with a cardboard cut-out of Elvis trying to find the lost chord, and lesbian pirates with chainsaws and... er... stuff?

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:04 (nineteen years ago)

It looks like francolini has uploaded a shitload of dark star and levitation footage to youtube very recently. Happy day for me, eh.

― Pashmina, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

the one he did with Zodiac Mindwarp about travelling to the North Pole with a cardboard cut-out of Elvis trying to find the lost chord, and lesbian pirates with chainsaws and... er... stuff?

No, I haven't read it yet, but errr... Bill Drummond, be mine? Please? I love you.

Damn, why are all the good folksongs all written by the WRONG SIDE. I'm sick of Diggers and Levellers and the like. I want me some nice Cavalier ballads.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

If everyone else is away schmoozing, does that mean you can play on THE INTERWEB all afternoon, Emsk?

sadly no, i have some ticket stuff to do as am doing 2x ppl's jobs... i can drop in and out tho

Emsk would know where they were from. Emsk?

london afaik. gregg is from SPACE.

it turns out that everyone in the office has has such a big lunch that no one wants them!

If I eat all four, I'm going to die. Probably from exploding.

oh, i will be able to help you with that...

― emsk, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

but has anyone here read Bad Wisdom, the one he did with Zodiac Mindwarp about travelling to the North Pole with a cardboard cut-out of Elvis trying to find the lost chord, and lesbian pirates with chainsaws and... er... stuff?

Nope. Good?

Pirates for kate!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

Please send excess non-jelly donuts to:

Mitya
Poorly ventilated office near espresso machine
Unremarkable office building
Moscow, Russia

― mitya, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't read Bad Wisdom, but I might have to. Lost chords and lesbian pirates with chainsaws, you can't go wrong.

― The Wayward Johnny B, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

I'm trying to stuff the excess cookies down the interweb for Emsk and Mitya but they keep crumbling when I try to put them in the CD-drive to rip them.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Mitya, I was looking at the Pravda website earlier today. Pravda appears to have changed from a dour Communist mouthpiece to something approaching the National Enquirer.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, it is good. It swaps between BD & Mark Manning, and their styles are very different - basically, after a chapter of Bill pontificating on some random theory of music, ZW comes in with "AAAAAGH, and then the leather-clad wenches attacked! Zombies! Nooo!". I recommend.

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:14 (nineteen years ago)

STAY OUT OF MINE BRANE!!!!!

...and then the Marnie Stern just came on and I went YYYYEEEEARRRRRRHHHHHHH!!!!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

one of my mates' (or mate's, both work) sisters used to run the publishing company that published Mark Manning's books. Don't know what it was called; it was based in Brighton and I think it has closed down now.

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:18 (nineteen years ago)

I can send Marnie Stern cookies people ;)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

MARNIE STERN, MARNIE STERN, WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THE WORLD NOT BOW DOWN BEFORE YOU AND WORSHIP AT YOUR FEET?!?!?!? You wanna talk Shangri-Las fronting Hawkwind? Fuck YEAH!!!!

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

I thought I had got that into my iPod at lunch, but it does not apear to be after marky and XRS where it should be.

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:20 (nineteen years ago)

Marnie Stern = what Shimura Curves would probably sound like if Emsk started playing drums for us. After we ate the carrot cake. I haven't heard this since the last time I was round FMM's and I had forgotten how YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!! it was.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:22 (nineteen years ago)

Gosh, I've hardly been on ILX at all lately. I just keep popping onto the 'cooler to say "hello! I'm FP!" and vanishing again.

Hello! Afternoon! It's one of those lazy nothing-much-happening Friday afternoons here. I am supposed to be sending an All Staff Email about the stupid legal disclaimers we're adding to our emails from Monday - I installed the infrastructure for that, MimeDefang on top of sendmail, and I'm not proud - but my boss hasn't signed it off yet.

― Forest Pines, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:24 (nineteen years ago)

Can we return to this slogan.

I hope it's for charity or something.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

Anyway, let's do a Hawkwind cover at the HDIF gig. I just want to see the jaws drop.

― Masonic Boom, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

OPKALOPKA

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Can I turn that slogan into a badge?

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Gahhh, I'm trying to d/l some Marnie Stern now, but it's being stupidly slow. You should definitely do Hawkwind - back before we had a drummer & flautist we used to swap instruments & dick around in the practice rooms playing 'Silver Machine'.

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

Where are you based, emil.y?

― Ed, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

I once played bass on a soundcheck of "Silver Machine" at the Barrowlands - not with Hawkwind unfortunately!

― Tom D., Friday, 9 March 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

I'm in Nottingham (UK, obviously).

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

do you have myspace, emil.y?

― Grandpont Genie, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

Aye

― emil.y, Friday, 9 March 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

I am formulating a plan. I need to talk to some lynchpins but I think I can work out a good weekend for all of those who want to space rock out like it's 1972.
