Can I submit scripts incognito, Markelby, and you wave them through even if they're shit?

I am subtitling Mark P for the Japanese market, even as we speak.

He is out of sync.

restaurants on brick lane are the shit

Momus was on my telly the other night - in a documentary about plaster-casting penises. Most unexpected.

Ha! I was talking about this with a friend who had also seen it, and suddenly had a LOT of explaining to do. She isn't a music person so did not understand about the GTOs etc.

I've been going to the Shampan for nice dinners and Sweet and Spicy or Shalamar for faster sit-down cafe meals on Brick Lane ever since moving to London. I like Shampan because they were the original Hey We Are Bangladeshis Not Indians restaurant and NONE of these places need to use teenage curry touts (although in lots of cases the family who owns the restaurant is just keeping one of their younguns on close observation in a neighbourhood where it's easy to be exposed to smack/crack culture if you're hanging around at home with nothing to do and a place at a shit school).

I keep randomly sighting Grimly Fiendish but he never notices me, despite the fact he has walked within about two foot of me several times in the last couple of months

i keep looking out for you, ever since you first mentioned this. AND I NEVER SEE YOU. now i'm scared. please don't shoot me with a high-velocity sniper rifle.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 20 April 2006 22:09 (twenty years ago)

I just saw Momus at a (very tense) screening of Queen of Sheba Meets the Atom Man at Anthology Film Archives.

― C0L1N B... (C0L1N B...), Monday, 24 April 2006 01:33 (twenty years ago)

Oh! I walked out before the end. The thing was sort of insufferably whacky art school pranksterism, although some of the period footage was interesting, and there were glimpses of the film it could've been -- Taylor Mead as the Buster Keaton of the downtown set.

And, God, those two old men chattering away the whole time! Someone tell me where the "commentary" menu is so I can switch it off, please! (I'm assuming they weren't you... I'm assuming they were "friends of Taylor".)

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 24 April 2006 02:08 (twenty years ago)

Old men chattering? You sure you weren't at Film Forum??

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Monday, 24 April 2006 02:30 (twenty years ago)

Haha, yeah the movie was dissapointing ; it made me appreciate Flower Theif a little more, which is essentially the same thing in San Franscisco but much less forced.

I wasn't one of the old dudes. Someone got into a screaming match with them after the film ended and they were escorted out, more or less.

― C0L1N B... (C0L1N B...), Monday, 24 April 2006 04:52 (twenty years ago)

God, I wish I'd stayed to hear that, I wanted to scream at them myself.

― Momus (Momus), Monday, 24 April 2006 04:57 (twenty years ago)

UPDATE: i met ailsa this morning. she was lurking in an alcove with some dubious-looking older men. i was very miserable and downbeat at her, which was wrong of me, especially at 10 o'clock in the morning.

today was the first day at work i've actually *enjoyed* in the past two and a half weeks, though, which leads me to suspect that meeting ailsa might be some kind of good-luck totem. hmm.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 22:22 (twenty years ago)

Well, I had a shit day, so thank you for taking my good-day vibes away with you :-)

― ailsa (ailsa), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 05:50 (twenty years ago)

I read that as "I had a shit today". My first thought was that that wasn't much of a boast.

― aldo_cowpat (aldo_cowpat), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 06:59 (twenty years ago)

well, if she'd been living off hard-boiled eggs and treacle for two weeks, it would.

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Thursday, 27 April 2006 22:33 (twenty years ago)

i saw tynan delong on the marta this morning

― -+--+--+--++, Tuesday, 2 May 2006 15:04 (twenty years ago)

Michaelangelo Matos introduced himself to me in Union Square last night.

― JW (ex machina), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 16:17 (twenty years ago)

That sounds like a euphemism if ever I heard one

― You'll Never Put a Better Bit of Butter On Your Knife (Dada), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 16:18 (twenty years ago)

I saw Boris Johnson today! He kept glaring at me, from his bicycle.

I thought he looked ugly.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 2 May 2006 16:22 (twenty years ago)

Oh no!

(Though as much as I go on about him, Boris is not an ILX0r.)

((Still, I'm glad to know))

― Alone, Jealous and SSRI'd (kate), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 16:26 (twenty years ago)

Why is the second one doubly parenthetical?

― JW (ex machina), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 16:28 (twenty years ago)

Because it's an afterthought to an afterthought.

― Alone, Jealous and SSRI'd (kate), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 16:28 (twenty years ago)

Logically, shouldn't it be nested inside the first set of parens:

(Though as much as I go on about him, Boris is not an ILX0r. (Still, I'm glad to know))

― JW (ex machina), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 16:33 (twenty years ago)

That's another valid way to do it, yes.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Tuesday, 2 May 2006 17:04 (twenty years ago)

You should have nutted him, The Pinefox.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 06:06 (twenty years ago)

Post it on the Celebrity Sightings thread...there is one, somewhere in here.

I saw Dadaismus yesterday evening at Old Street. We got on the same bus.

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Wednesday, 3 May 2006 08:36 (twenty years ago)

i seen ed this morning, walking down theobald's road with big headphones on. trying to wave hello i almost veered into the path of an oncoming taxi. oops.

― emsk ( emsk), Friday, 5 May 2006 06:59 (twenty years ago)

I ran into Alex in NYC this weekend where Eighth Street and Greenwich Ave hit Sixth Avenue. He was talking on the cellphone pushing a baby carriage and wearing a Soft Boys t-shirt. I was dressed for Deep Cover on the Colorblind Dad tip. I called out "Alex!" and he said "Yeah? Do I KNOW you?" After I explained who I was he said "I was wondering who that jerk was who was trying to talk to me."

― Redd Temple Player (Two Headed Dogg) (Ken L), Monday, 8 May 2006 16:09 (twenty years ago)

I would have felt slightly insulted, but then I was grateful that I got to meet him while he was in character.

― Redd Temple Player (Two Headed Dogg) (Ken L), Monday, 8 May 2006 16:23 (twenty years ago)

oh yeah! it must have been sunday i think. i was entertaining the french. and i sighted emily last night but that was less random and impromptu as she was on stage with her band.

Crazy late, I know, but hello emsk! Sorry I was very dazed that night, totally all-consuming tiredness and attempting to get boozed AFTER playing, eesh.

― emil.y (emil.y), Monday, 8 May 2006 22:48 (twenty years ago)

matt dc, in a suit, on high holborn, this lunchtime.

― CarsmileSteve (CarsmileSteve), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:25 (twenty years ago)

hott

― Konal Doddz (blueski), Monday, 22 May 2006 14:27 (twenty years ago)

I saw an exact Anna lookalike on the NYC subway this morning; if she weren't just a bit taller, I'd have thought the real thing took a wrong turn on the way to Latvia.

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 22 May 2006 16:09 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

Noise Jon (with iPod) on East Houston Street. Claimed to be listening to Moroder; I suspect Oberst!

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 13:56 (twenty years ago)

I was looking for this thread last week and couldn't find it!

Ran into Katie G on High Holborn on my way to work last week!

― Sundogs at 22 Degrees (kate), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 13:59 (twenty years ago)

oh alix last week on da bus.

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 14:04 (twenty years ago)

Oh, and Marianna on the DLR, but that wasn't that random as we were both going to the same place.

― Sundogs at 22 Degrees (kate), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 14:12 (twenty years ago)

I saw Otto Midnight on the Red Line yesterday.

― Safety First (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 15:25 (twenty years ago)

and it looks like i'll be on the red line again today but a little later this time. picking up a young lovely in noble square before heading north.

― otto midnight (otto midnight), Tuesday, 13 June 2006 15:27 (twenty years ago)

No one ever Random Impromptu Sights me :-(

I am going to look out of the window all day.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 06:35 (twenty years ago)

I forgot to mention that Campbell'n'me impromptly bumped into Gravel Puzzleworth and Nicholas Passant on the way to see Neko Case the other week. We then impromptly bumped into Stewart Lee, who was sitting next to us in the hall.

― Jerry the Nipper (Jerrynipper), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 08:20 (twenty years ago)

I bumped into Woebot (on his bike) in Berwick Street on Saturday morning, both doing our weekly decimation of specialist record shop stocks, but he's not an ILxor so I don't suppose that counts.

I haven't seen an ILxor in person for months...when's the next FAP?

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 08:40 (twenty years ago)

Perhaps there will be a football one tomorrow.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 08:47 (twenty years ago)

is stewart lee an ilxor now? i have randomly spotted him at many improv etc gigs

― Ward Fowler (Ward Fowler), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 08:54 (twenty years ago)

SL's always at improv gigs, in his pretentious carpet slippers.

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Wednesday, 14 June 2006 08:56 (twenty years ago)

marianna, at archway, walking down holloway road, this morning,

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 25 June 2006 12:34 (nineteen years ago)

i was in a cab. yes, thats right, a cab

― charltonlido (gareth), Sunday, 25 June 2006 12:35 (nineteen years ago)

I was impromptually spotted by a workmate the other day, on Endell Street. It will have to do, I suppose.

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Sunday, 25 June 2006 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

I might have impromptually spotted Rumpie in Paisley last week. If she was at the midsummer fair at the town hall, with a bloke in a red t-shirt. And if she looks like the photos she's posted.

(if that was you, I'm sorry for being the lassie looking weirdly at you)

― ailsa (ailsa), Sunday, 25 June 2006 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

Gareth, you should have shouted hello!

― marianna lcl (marianna lcl), Tuesday, 27 June 2006 10:17 (nineteen years ago)
