UK Watercooler 32: Fall Into The Meaning Gap

5ive are in it too. That's a great spacerock album!

OK, that SUCKS and I am now cross. Because I was originally supposed to do the artwork for the cover of that one. :-(

I would definitely have done a better cover than that. Grrrrr.

I am never going to get to do illustrations for anyone! They lure you in with this "oh yeah, you can do illos" and then you get stuck doing reviews for the rest of your life.

I am quitting after this one. I really am. :-(

You gotta bid your time til the chance comes. You're getting a lead review now. Stick in!

THEY offered it to ME. I had to tell them about doing it in post production and all that. And then they go and get someone else to do it. I'm going to email Stannard and go BAH to his face. Or at least his email. :-(

Database still isn't back up. But at least I have coffee now.

OK, he said it was the photog who wanted to use a mate of theirs, and therefore not his fault.

But still. BAH!

You will get another chance. Im now back with said magazine. And in the mail came a free copy of the zine a guy on DFFD does. He's an awesome cartoonist and I'm looking forward to reading this.

Things are a bit weird at work at the mo. One of our colleagues was killed in a motorcycle accident yesterday morning, it's really sad, he was always really friendly and happy and had a wife and 2 kids. No-one's talking about it at all, just getting on with it. Not that there's any other way of dealing with it.

That sucks. :-(

But still, something that probably has to be dealt with after a drink, not in the office.

I've just looked at the line-up that the Windmill have scheduled for the day that I would have had my now-cancelled birthday party... and I haven't heard of ANY of those bands!

What a load of nonsense.

Yeah you're right, I don't think it's really sunk in yet anyway. xpost

re: Windmill - are they actually under new management or have the old management just gone a bit psycho for no apparent reason?

Kate have a read at http://www.foreverdoomed.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1389&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&hilit=NAGAWIKA

What festival in Portugal is it btw?
Mark im sorry to hear about your colleague :(

hahaha

I don't know what's going on at the Windmill. It's still Tim running it. I think he just doesn't trust *me* to promote a show any more.

:-(

I don't understand the jokes in those comics?

This is my alltime fave by him

I don't understand that at all!

You havent heard of Celtic Frost? You know who kate Moss is. Moss is a great UK doom band (olly posts on the SL/DFFD board)
This is the comic I got
http://www.foreverdoomed.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=2874

It's 'in' humour, right? Don't have to be funny or anything.

I had no idea that Moss were a band. And it's still not funny.

Is so.

It'd be funnier if that guy from Moss had said their band should be pronounced "Sadie Frost"...

Not nuch funnier, I grant you. And not actually past the threshhold level of actually funny, no.

I have managed to kill an hour. And still have an hour and a half to go, and no idea what to do. I'm gonna start messing about with the database just because I'm so bored, and that's when things go HORRIBLY WRONG.

And I manslaughtered that hour, it wasn't even murder. How pathetic.

I suppose you dont get this?

I bet col poo gets it.

Hmm. Needs a final one where a rub metalperson goes "I threw a can of Tennants once. At a verger!"

I don't understand at all. :-(

I am just not getting these references. Actually, I'm quite glad I'm not getting them.

Those cartoons are pretty terrible!

The cartoons are awesome! and funny!

This is a funny one too I posted here TS: SLEEP vs HIGH ON FIRE

Have you seen Metalocalypse, Kerr?

Maybe I'll just install SAS on my machine and see if it crashes.

OK, I just overheard that my boss is going on yet ANOTHER holiday. I haven't actually been told this yet, I just overheard it. Next week is my last week. I've not actually been told who I should be reporting to next week, or anything like that.

I suppose I should probably ask, but right now, I'm so frustrated with this job I don't even know that I dare.

Metal's lost its transgressive value since it got taken up by chin-stroking Wire readers

Mark, I havent actually. Is it good?
Can i post the tony iommi/black sabbath cartoon here or would no-one get it?

you never know.

OK, but for every comic you post, I get to post some ridiculous picture of Nigel Havers.

Basically Metalocalypse is an actually well drawn and funny version of the picture you just posted above ;P

That other one isn't even in English! It's in, like, Esperanto or something! How on earth am I supposed to understand that?

I like nigel havers in that sitcom with Tony Britton.

Ah right! Because he's not really an Iron Man! Ahahahhhher?

Where's the joke?

No, no, no, you have to have a PICTURE of Nigel Havers.

And that really isn't funny. I don't get it at all.

... I'm not saying metallers don't have a sense of humour but...

The watercooler rules are becoming even more convoluted than cricket at this point!

-1 no f**tball
-2 no B*g Br*th*r
-3 no jazz
-3.1 except when accompanied by pictures of Julian Barrett
-3.2 except in the context of WILD 1920S JAZZ PARTIES (and accompanied by hott pictures of hott flapper gurls)
-4 no unfunny heavy metal comics
-4.1 except when accompanied by pictures of Nigel Havers

Were there any others? I can't remember at this point. What's our LBW again?

no cricket?

No Cricket, surely?
