TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

I'm tempted to start bringing in a hipflask. Apparently the mayor of London drinks whisky in meetings so if it's good enough for him...

topless ironing

right-o

it's like topless darts but, y'know, ironing.

oh now i totally understand

i think it would be a nice surprise for HI DERE and john justen to wake up and find this thread at 12,000 posts. really, it's our duty.

i know you guys have jobs and stuff, but really - sort your priorities out.

FYI: i'm going to make toast with MARMITE and also tea.

bottomless ironing is too dangerous however. xxxxxxxxxxxx-posts

yeah I have a job but i'm clearly more committed to this thread. 12000 posts is a lot though.

don't be a sissy

and it's not 12000: it's only 800 we need to come up to make it to 12000

marmite lover.

i accidentally toasted an aphid

i pulled my vogel's extra grainy toast out of the toaster and there was a greeny brown thing on it

it was an aphid

you should email me some more songs btw

oops that came out wrong

i meant to say 'it would be really lovely of you to email me some more songs, since i so liked the other ones you sent me'

aphids are good for you. so i hear have just made up.

was that supposed to be a strikethrough cuz i think you just fucked that up

haha good timing: 'girl with a dirty mouth' just started up on my itunes

woops, that italic was meant to be a strikethrough. i are a spazzer.

that's a choon bruv.

actually the correct title is 'dirty girl'

when i get home i will email you some songs by some bands on my friend's record label. there's a new one on goosesmoke at the moment that is quite Nick Drake-esque. that might do for now.

Can't get a word in edgeways!

There was a moth in my microwave yesterday. I couldn't bring myself to turn it on.

my house is experiencing a moth invasion at the moment. you should totally nuke 'em, nuke the bastards.

Fucking moths. I am killing half a dozen a day but it's making no difference. I am not looking forward to the larval stage of the cycle - it was really rank last time (low point - when the grubs pop as you squish them with a paper towel, ugh ugh ugh).

you should take up smoking. that gets rid of moths.

i'm feeling ambivalent about this song.

if you mean the one on my site, then i'm not surprised. if you mean the Will Smith one, then you are RONG.

no i mean the one on your site

now would probably be a good time to namedrop www.goosesmoke.com

this is funner: http://youtube.com/watch?v=OuiYpifxqZE

and shhhhhush

gooooosesmoke

ok that video was kind of awesome

fo' shiz. the band, My Device rather than the Iranians, are good pals of mine and deserve good successes.

So, to continue rambling nonsense in a completely futile effort to make it to 12000, I went to see the Scorsese/Rolling Stones film at the Imax on Saturday. My reactions were:

1. Imax is a big let-down. It's just a BIG screen with speakers in it. I did feel quite like I had just been to a Rolling Stones concert but I think that would have been the case at a standard cinema too.

2. I don't think Scorsese did anything that any other director couldn't have done. It's not like he had to actually direct anything during the concert, just set up a load of cameras in the right places, tell the cameramen to shoot everything and edit into something nice later. I think tv directors/vision mixers at concerts that are broadcast live have a much harder job and, on the whole, do it better.

3. I HATE this big band bollocks that seems to accompany acts like the stones when they play big venues. Too much brass, bells and whistles completely overwhelms the guitars and the result is revoltingly Jamie Cullum-esque.

okay i'm going to try at get to sleep at a reasonable hour, since i'm bored and have nothing better to do. i leave the next 767 posts in your capable hands.

night!

this morning is painful.

There could be any number of reasons why, but why? Existentially, physically or emotionally? And can you make things better?

Seattle on British Airways, from £369 return...

That's cheapio. Do it.

Seattle is lovely. I was there for a fortnight a couple of years ago and would dearly love to go back but I think I have to go to Portland first.
