I'm sure shouting in a smokey pub did not help.

We're the Sick Man of Europe, and we've come to spread our germs

Lionheart is the bouzouki iirc?

I'm tempted to get one off him, but the chroma is going to be eating 500 quid in repair charges next month, so I'd better not!

Pashmina, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 12:26 (nineteen years ago)

I am so hungry because of the smells below. Would it be so wrong to eat mine lunch now? But I will be hungry again come 3pm! Argh.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 12:28 (nineteen years ago)

That said, ebay is calling:

one

I am so hungry because of the smells below

Is that a lyric in waiting or what?

Tom D., Tuesday, 13 March 2007 12:31 (nineteen years ago)

I can imagine mark e smith singing that.

Pashmina, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 12:32 (nineteen years ago)

My schedule is all topsy-turvey at the moment. I've been getting up early, been walking extra, and now I want to be eating early. Even though I have brought less food. I wonder if I should just add a snack at about 3pm for this week, and then try to cut it out at a later date. Less food more frequently is better for you than one giant meal, right?

I want to eat my burritos tonight, though.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

Just thought I'd drop in and give my two penn'orth on fruit beer.

It is magnificent.

unfished business, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 12:41 (nineteen years ago)

OK, this doesn't smell very good. I'm not excited. There has got to be a better way to go about lunch.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 12:44 (nineteen years ago)

Especially because I bring lunch from home because it's supposed to be cheaper, but these ready meals cost, like £3 or £4. I could get takeaway lunch for that!

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 12:45 (nineteen years ago)

I think five or six small meals throughout the day are supposed to be better for you than the traditional breafast/lunch/dinner. Grazing stops you feeling hungry and deprived, and keeps your blood sugar more stable I think.

Good cheap lunches to bring from home = a tub of couscous topped with oven roasted vegetables, a flask of home made soup, or a potato to microwave-zap and top with grated cheese. Or get a cheap sandwich toaster to keep at work, and make lovely sizzling hot cheese and mushroom toasties!

C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

Now I'm hungry.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

Feed a cold, and starve a fever.

C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:04 (nineteen years ago)

Feed a Kate starve a Ned.

I've tried bringing soup, but it invariably leaves me unsatisfied. Soup is just not a meal, it is a snack. I will eat it perfectly happily for supper, but for lunch it just leaves a big hole in me.

I wonder if I could assemble burritos at work, or it it would be too much work - I could heat up the refried beans in the microwave.

I wish I liked baked potatoes, but I just don't.

I need to learn to cook more things other than Curry (which I'm sick of) and Thing (which doesn't keep).

The problem is, if I tend to get something I like to eat at work, I eat it until I'm totally sick of it. Though maybe I could do hummus and pitta and tadizki and olives again. Or make insalata tricolore.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:08 (nineteen years ago)

Spread refried beans over a soft flour tortilla, top with some grated cheese (and a few jalapeno peppers if you like), and then place another tortilla on top. Fry gently on both sides in a little oil (it's easiest to slide it out onto a plate, put another dinner plate on top, flip it over, then slide it back into the frying pan ... it's fragile until it's cooked).

Leave to cool, cut into wedges and wrap in foil or pack in a plastic tub and take to work for lunch - just stick the wedges on a plate to reheat for a minute in the microwave. It's really filling, and extremely num.

C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:14 (nineteen years ago)

But that's a quesadilla, not a burrito! Part of what makes a burrito num is the fresh stuff what goes in as well - the salsa, the guacamole, etc.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:17 (nineteen years ago)

I'm still hungry, even though the root vegetable baked turned out to taste not as revolting as it smelled.

I have an apple left. I seem to be dieting by accident, bah.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:19 (nineteen years ago)

I tried 'bringing lunch from home' but I was all 'eat it when got to work' unfortunately.

Mark G, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:21 (nineteen years ago)

Lionheart has a 660mm scale length compared to 584 for the tamburlin same body though and can be tuned the same of course.

Ed, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:25 (nineteen years ago)

Wah, why are there not free sandwiches like there were last week?

First there is a sandwich then there is no sandwich, then there is, argh, Donovan get out of my BRANE.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:29 (nineteen years ago)

Everything displeaseth me today. I think I may have spring fever.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:35 (nineteen years ago)

my husband is doing some tests for a new job. wish him luck. actually might be over already. poor soul. :-( he did alright on the IQ test. (he's very intelligent. this balances it out in our relationship: yin and yang. hur hur)

yesterday after knitting class i was talking with a fellow student (can you say that when you are learning something CRAFTY?). she was smoking. she said she was pregnant. i wanted to blurt out: "YOU SHOULDNT BE SMOKING YOU COW!" but then i realized she had smoked during her previous three pregnancies and they all came out lovely and i shouldn't judge. but still... y'know...

i had superhot curry.

nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:47 (nineteen years ago)

they all came out lovely


...for NOW.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

well, let's hope that doesn't prove to be prophetic words. :-(

the squirrels and frogs i saw on my way to work definitely did!

Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

The idea of sneezing frogs amuses me.

Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

ribbooooooooooooooo!

Grandpont Genie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 13:54 (nineteen years ago)

Only one thing will cure this funk. Pictures of DDBs. Hop to it.

Our next rolling walk should involve some megaliths. And, err, I should go on it.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:07 (nineteen years ago)

I see 'yogurt covered peanuts' and I just think TUMMY ACHE.

Maybe that's just me, though.

C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

I just think "I am still hungry from an inadequate lunch". :-(

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:14 (nineteen years ago)

I want to go and look at Megaliths with DDBs like it's 2003 again. :-(

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:15 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe I should learn how to drive, then I could go by myself, and not wait for a passing archeologist to drive me.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

They should have special bus stops where you could go and wait for passing archaeologists to come by.

C J, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:17 (nineteen years ago)

I don't understand.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:18 (nineteen years ago)

im obsessed with yoghurt covered raisins.

nathalie, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:21 (nineteen years ago)

When Ed comes back, I am going to try to convince him that Shimura Curves should do a Megalith searching field trip.

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:22 (nineteen years ago)

Julian Cope will sue for stealing his idea.

emsk, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Googling for DDBs only brings up ILX and Shimura Curves. :-(

Did Julian Cope invent megaliths? I DON'T THINK SO!!! Did he invent DDB's? I DON'T THINK SO!!!

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

x-post that is Doomie, who stole my phrase and tried to use it to describe lame Poptones bands. :-(

Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:30 (nineteen years ago)

Julian Cope invented Krautrock AND megaliths... apparently

Tom D., Tuesday, 13 March 2007 14:31 (nineteen years ago)

I'm trying to remember what Joe used to say... oh yeah, Julian Cope was ripping off HIM because his granddad was writing about megaliths YEARS ago... etc. etc.
