I'm not normally one in favour of privacy laws, but that article does make me think otherwise, there is not one jot of public interest there.

It's certainly a shitty thing to do. I was surprised at The Daily Record for printing it.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

The last few minutes of the day will not end. My god, I just want to take my headache home.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder what Ken C tried to post a pic of?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

This day will not end... OH FINALLY!!!! Hurrah! I can go home.

― Masonic Boom, Monday, 12 March 2007 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

― emsk, Monday, 12 March 2007 18:51 (nineteen years ago)

If that's the actual new cover then they've finally done something I like unreservedly.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 12 March 2007 20:29 (nineteen years ago)

hahahaha
AWESOME, KEN!!!

(p.s. that bloke at the back top right has a rather long neck)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 12 March 2007 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

Morning all.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 08:29 (nineteen years ago)

BEER AND FRUIT DO NOT MIX!

we belgians know that, but we produce fruity beers for suckers like ed. ;-))))))
where are you going exactly, ed?

― nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:38 (nineteen years ago)

Dendermonde, again, but staying in Aalst.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:39 (nineteen years ago)

you hate bruges. :-(

― nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:41 (nineteen years ago)

I have always suspected that Nathalie.

see also Stella.

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:41 (nineteen years ago)

stella is just a regular beer here. still baffles me that they managed to sell it like it was a frigging natural coloured diamond outside belgium. see: hipsters thread, i guess.

― nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:42 (nineteen years ago)

oh and i heart Bruges.

it's where I had Kwak for the first time. Beer and hourglasses definitely *do* mix :)

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:42 (nineteen years ago)

Tell whatever TV station you've got in Bruges to start buying kit off us and I'm there.

(If you are in the shop Thursday and I get away early enough, I could drop by for coffee, mail me)

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:42 (nineteen years ago)

:-D Did you have it in the brewery? cause that's right around the corner from wherei live!

― nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:43 (nineteen years ago)

thursday now? i'll see what i can do! but no coffee for me. ah shit, i think i have my doctor's apppointment in the afternoon. Boo. :-(

― nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:43 (nineteen years ago)

I love Bruges, it's so pretty :)

Morning everyone, look at all this luverly sunshine again this morning! Spring really does seem to have sprung, and it's making me smile.

― C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

no it was in a bar which was slightly out of the old historic part of town - near a big river i think?

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

I couldn't believe how many frogs I saw on the way to work today!

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:44 (nineteen years ago)

Bah, however I am coming through belgium once every 4-6 weeks at the moment so I could make this work. I will probably be in Hasselt next month, not anywhere near you I know but Bruges is more or less on the way to everywhere in Belgium if you are coming from Calais.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:45 (nineteen years ago)

French people, or actual frogs?

― C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:45 (nineteen years ago)

Nathalie can't drink ! Have you heard her news?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:47 (nineteen years ago)

Ed, next time then! my email address is stevienixed at gmail.com

yeah, i'm pregnant. morning sickness is such a misnomer. i feel like CRAP. :-D

pub near a river? shit, can't think of one. ahh!!! was it on a small square or something? then i know!

― nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:50 (nineteen years ago)

Incidentally what is the name of the local TV station in Bruges?

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

Congrats to Nath!! (and Thom)

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

ed, i think you mean focus, right? are you doing sth for them?

― nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:52 (nineteen years ago)

― nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:53 (nineteen years ago)

No but we are doing an open day in Vilv0rde for all the regional TV stations we can grab and see if we can't get some more work there.

― Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:55 (nineteen years ago)

I had all-day-long morning sickness which lasted more then 30 weeks in both of my pregnancies, Nath. I really sympathise. It's horrible. (I found that sipping Lucozade, the fizzy glucose drink, helped alleviate the nausea better than anything else).

― C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 09:57 (nineteen years ago)

did you know Lucozade used to be called Glucozade coz it had glucose in it? (presumably was changed coz they didn't want ppl thinking it had glue in it)

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:21 (nineteen years ago)

if only Babysham had.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:23 (nineteen years ago)

Because then we wouldn't have babyshambles?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:25 (nineteen years ago)

nothing sparkles
nothing sparkles
nothing sparkles like an Ickle Ibex

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:26 (nineteen years ago)

OK, ha ha ha, that B&S cover is funny.

I feel like crap. I am not pregnant. I am just stupid. Remember yesterday after lunch when I thought I was hungry due to rumbling stomach and headache? Erm, no. It was the first symptoms of food poisoning. Looked at the rest of the yoghurt drink I had for lunch - I thought it expired on the 2nd March - week out of date, but still drinkable, right? No. It expired on the 3rd February. Yoghurt really can go off. I've been on the ginger tea and rice pudding. Stomach is mostly OK now but headache has not lifted.

And I am jealous that Emsk sees Boris Johnson riding his bike so much and I never do. Bah.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:33 (nineteen years ago)

Urgh food poisoning sucks.

― G00blar, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

Emsk sees Boris Johnson riding his bike so much coz Emsk rides her bike so much?

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:35 (nineteen years ago)

She said he was wearing a red touque. (OK, she said woolly hat, but still.) I said RED!??!?! That's not very Tory, he should wear blue, the party tearaway him. What does he think he is, a bloody socialist?

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:37 (nineteen years ago)

I remember being at work and feeling FP coming on, I went round cancelling meetings still looking perfectly well/fine, but saying "I have to get home fairly quickly"

Got home, by then really bad.

rest of week off.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:40 (nineteen years ago)

Someone should make tshirts of that and you all wear them at the next Shimura Curves gig!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:41 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't actually vomited, only the little baby vomit in the mouth thing. Won't be fun when it reaches the other end. (TMI, sorry.)

It's the headache that is really bothering me, I have little tolerance for headaches.

Also, Emsk never sees Boris while cycling! She is usual pedestrian or on the bus or something!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:42 (nineteen years ago)

maybe he picked up a Labour mp's hat off the hat stand by mistake? This is the man who put campaign leaflets through the doors of houses that weren't in his constituency after all.

hope the headache clears soon Kate. You do seem to suffer from more than yr fair share of illness (not that illness is ever fair but you know what I mean).

I have just been visited by Chair Lady. Ok so that isn't her real job title, but she came up to my desk to investigate the back pains I have been suffering on a/c of my work chair. There is a bump in the back which is digging into my back and giving me pain. I have been assured that:

these are Special Ergonomic Chairs that cost 200 +squid and are Specially Designed Not To Give People Back Pain

I pointed out that my chair that I use when using the pooter at home has a comfy flat cushion on the back (identical to the one I sit on, on a/c of it being kind of chair which folds out --> camp bed) and that *never* gives me back pain. Puzzling answer from Chair Lady "just coz it's comfortable doesn't mean it's doing you good"

Cynically and possibly unwisely I remarked to Chair lady that so called ergonomic chairs made uncomfortable on purpose to stop employees falling asleep. Which of course *is* ergonomic, in a sense....

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:44 (nineteen years ago)

I remember being at work and feeling FP coming on

roffle! (sorry)

― Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

Have you got any tiger balm or similar to rub on your forehead? Also : sip water. Lots of headaches are due to dehydration!

Hope you feel better soon, Kate.

― C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:46 (nineteen years ago)

I'm a bit worried that FP came on to him at home

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:47 (nineteen years ago)

I drink so much water I'm surprised I'm not a fish. I've had a cup of tea this AM so it's not caffeine withdrawl. I've even had an ibuprofen (I never take such things unless I'm utterly desperate) but it's not doing any good.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:48 (nineteen years ago)

I miss x-post notifications

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 10:50 (nineteen years ago)
