Ho hum.

I have noticed that they are playing the city where my father lives, the day after my birthday. I could play the whole "Do you love me? How much do you love me?" game, I'm kind of idly contemplating it (several family members have offered to pay my air fare to the States) but I don't think even *they* could get me in an airplane to California. Sigh.

Santa Barbara or San Jose?

San Jose. It's just a pipe dream, even that wouldn't get me in an airplane.

Also I'm not sure if my dad still has a flat there or if he's moved permanently to the cabin upstate.

Did you check my Flickr BTW? There's something you might like there that there's no way I'm posting to ILX ;)

I don't know where your flickr is! And the San Jose venue is a big arena, not worth losing sleep over missing. I'll only be going to the Santa Barbara show because that venue is gorgeous. You should hit up my email though, there have been some things I've been meaning to mention to you that are also not ILX-appropriate.

I've seen it. Needs tentacles, maybe not the subject's own...

It's linked from all the other pics on the Tregaskin Art Gallery thread!

Ach I'm not sure I have a recent email address for you? I suppose I can ILXmail you mine.

I feel utterly ashamed that I STILL haven't sent you the hat 'n' shawl. :-( No excuse. I feel bad about it. But I also feel bad about the work/financial situation. The crisis has hit our shop as well. Ah well, we'll plough (?) through.

nath its great to see you back on ilx!

Yeah, where's my hat? Winter is almost over! LOL, no, take your time, I don't want to hassle you about anything, especially if times are tough.

Did you get my email, WCC?

Hi Nathalie, hi Melissa.

I started writing a list of places in Oxfordshire mentioned in Half Man Half Biscuit songs but when I got to 4 I realised that even I didn't care. I'm sure there are that many for any other county too, they just don't leap out at me as much.

I just wanted to say "Uffington Wassail", really.

Yeah, I feel crap about it. I have never neglected to send anyone a knitted item(or something else). Bah! I want to slap myself senseless. hah. But yeah times are very tough here. We'll pull through though. We have to.
I am contemplating adding some socks. What's your shoe or foot size?

Also, I f****** hate contemporary flemish folk singers. Especially those 20sth girls. ARGH! Do NOT inflict me with that dialect! ARGH! I actually prefer kiddie music over that shit. (I am venting YES I KNOW).

I have also rediscovered the Tudors. Man, do I LOVE THAT PERIOD. The clothes! The... everything but the hygiene. lol

But Henry VIII wanking in the Tudors series. Okay, what is up with that? I thought it was so not condoned by God. Or the Pop.

Since when did Hank 8 care about God or the Pope, or indeed the Pop?

Sorry! My mum rang! I got yr email, Melissa!

Ready to Uffington!

Wanking Tudors!

Dear god I'm so glad the Watercooler is back!

Wait, I just typed out a proper response and added it to this thread, where did it go? Did it end up in the wrong thread? Did it end up in an email to Mel? Did it disappear into a wormhole? ARGH.

It was all about how mentioning Uffington got Pop Is Dead stuck in my head, like just seeing the Wittenham Lumps got Faust Arp stuck in my head for 2 days. And something about Tudor sex habits and views on masturbation with references to this book on 17th Century sex practices that's lined up for after I finish the book about beech trees. WHERE DID IT GO?

Did it disappear into a wormhole?

i now have images of the cat in red dwarf saying "but what is it?"

I really need to find some books on medieval sex. Kindle variety. Cheap variety. Sleeeeazzzeeeee variety. Lol

poor thom

imagine his face when you bring an iron maiden home for him

He can look for all those hidden cats

hahaha (btw WCC not *that* thom that you're probably thinking of)

That gave me about 30 seconds of complete perplexment until I remembered Nathalie's husband's name. LOL.

Hidden cats.

more like 30 seconds of filth in your mind with thom yorke and ancient medieval sex toys/instruments

lol medieval sex toys
http://hwaettheswyve.blogspot.com/2010/04/greetings-earthlings-after-emerging.html

I dare you WCC to GIS medieval sex toys with safe images off

nath
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51tx5XcSWHL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

Things I'd really rather not. Glad I have images turned off, in fact.

oh i dont post nsfw images in here, i only posted a book nath might want from amazon.

It's Colin who's supposed to be the ~expert~ on, like, Victorian perversion and historical pornography!

(This is one of those things I've had in my head for so long I've no idea any more if it's actually true, or if it's just something that got repeated in fan fiction that it became part of fanlore.)

Anyway, stop being distracting! I've got to finish this book about beeches if it kills me. Then draw The Lumps.

as in black eyed peas?

As in Wittenham? Have you not been paying attention?

it was a joke

Thom is not being exposed to the Tudors. Lol. But I keep talking about it. Even more annoying.
I am interested in that book! Oh baby! Hehe

::tries and fails to make a hilarious Tudor-themed joke about Lancasters vs Yorke::

For you, WCC.

Oh.

My.

GOD.

I haven't even got more than 6 seconds into it while I wait for the video to load but...

1) he is wearing THOSE TROUSERS

2) He is doing the SEXAY THOM dance

3) They are playing MY FAVOURITE RADIOHEAD SONG IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD FOREVER

::explodes with joy::

There were two new tracks as well. You want?

nnnngggg nnnnnggggggg what do you think?

(I'm still getting over the ponytail. You are not Aphex Twin, knock it off.)

Perhaps we should revive/start a new RH thread? I don't think anyone else on the Cooler is as interested in Radiohead as we are.

Only if it's the Melissa and WCC Radiohead thread with a DNRIYHU.

ILE preferably, too.

Oh wait! My membership got approved for That Other Forum (tm)

LOL we should totally have an ILX Radiohead and Cheesecake Fangirl Explosion (Do Not Read If You Hate Us, Or Radiohead) thread.

I'm gonna go check out that other board, and write some epic introduce yrself post so they know what to expect (though from the "We have cake... and we have... vocabulary?" (best alternate lyrics to Kid A ever?) email I think we'll get on just fine.)

So should I post the new songs in here or are you going to find them on the Other Board or shall we start a n ew thread?

Sorry, my mind is still processing the reappearance of the RED TROUSERS.

Processed yet?

Red trousers.

Indeed.

Oh god I'll make a new thread.

Do your worst:

Radiohead LP9 Anticipation, Fangirling and random Cheesecake Thread (Do not read if you hate Radiohead or us)
