I think JtN should turn into a rough, gruff mountain man and grow a Grizzly Adams style beard, and then the Pinefox will have to visit America to reclaim him.

"Gadzooks, sir, why have you let this facial ornamentation consume your very being? It is not RIGHT."

"GolDANG, Pinefox, I'm jest goin' native."

Yup - Jerry and I are doing this whole weird sitcom-style flatmates-in-London-both-dating-girls-in-Denver thing PROPERLY! The gall bladder thing is where I get really amazed, though.

I meant I'd love to meet whoever's in London.

Your show should have Bosom Buddies influenced intro.

(ps can i just celebrate the WORST PINEFOX IMITATION EVER)

― mark s (mark s), Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:04 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned is to Pinefox as Dickens is to women.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

I have a role! A place in life!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mayday!

― the pinefox, Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

the JtN was spot on, tho'.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:39 (twenty-one years ago) link

Yeah, it was terrifyingly accurate. It was like he was HERE.

― Mandee, Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

Is my glass half empty or half full?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:40 (twenty-one years ago) link

runnething over.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

I'll be in London at this time too! Wow! Y'all decide FAP dates, and I'll probably be free.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

Mmm...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 14:49 (twenty-one years ago) link

you coming over ned?

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:02 (twenty-one years ago) link

yeah, when's Ned gonna be in town?

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:06 (twenty-one years ago) link

He's like the Ghostbusters, if you call him he'll come over.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:09 (twenty-one years ago) link

Or say my name three times or whatever. I would love to come over for that but GarethFAP is happening here and all. Right now the soonest I'll be able to come over will be October for the Tom marriage fun party.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:13 (twenty-one years ago) link

I am still frightened that Ned is going to try to break up the wedding.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:16 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey now, that's not even fun to joke about! I would NEVER do that. Isabel is one of my favorite people ever I've never spoken to ever. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:24 (twenty-one years ago) link

You're going to continue to deny your love?

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:26 (twenty-one years ago) link

But Tom is sometimes in the possession of Beard. That takes a stronger love than mine.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:29 (twenty-one years ago) link

Watch what you say about beards! Some of them can be NICE!!!

I can't believe I just said that. I must be in love. I feel ill.

― kate, Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:30 (twenty-one years ago) link

But Tom is sometimes in the possession of Beard.

But surely your Hair cancels that out? With his Beard and your Hair you crazy kids could take over the world.

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

who is nick cave?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:32 (twenty-one years ago) link

But my Hair is good and holy! It channels messages from the spirits and, in the absence of the Lost Ark of the Covenant, acts as a relic.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:33 (twenty-one years ago) link

I wasn't saying it was a bad thing, silly!

― Nicole (Nicole), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:34 (twenty-one years ago) link

Ned has let it out now! He think's Tom's beard is evil, and his hair is all that is good! It's an eternal struggle.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

I wasn't saying it was a bad thing, silly!

Ah, now this is true. :-) Ned the Poor Reader.

It's an eternal struggle.

Hair should be for the top of the skull, not the lower part.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:46 (twenty-one years ago) link

or the SIDES, eh?

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:47 (twenty-one years ago) link

Precisely, RJG! Eurgh!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

I too will be in London that weekend! I had intended to speak to some of you from the other interweb hang-out to find out who is around and what could be done. I have nowhere to stay yet - I am flying back in from Seville on the morning of the 24th and since it is a bank holiday thought it might be F!U!N! to stay in London and say hello to folk.

― ailsa (ailsa), Thursday, 1 May 2003 16:25 (twenty-one years ago) link

Hey thanks Melissa! :-) I'll be coming...

― Marcello Carlin, Thursday, 1 May 2003 16:48 (twenty-one years ago) link

If any of you want to send me your mobile numbers, that'd be cool...

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Friday, 2 May 2003 03:23 (twenty-one years ago) link

I would love love love to meet Melissa (and I am very honoured to be someone you're keen to meet) and Geeta, and all the others who are visiting us. Lots of FAPs and stuff please, not just one evening meeting.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Friday, 2 May 2003 16:35 (twenty-one years ago) link

revive!

The 27th for both melissa and cozen!

oh yes! one evening meeting for all! oh yes!

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:34 (twenty years ago) link

Yep, 27th should be OK for me.

― Marcello Carlin, Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:37 (twenty years ago) link

Hey Melissa, why don't we ditch this lot?

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:38 (twenty years ago) link

:...-(

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:39 (twenty years ago) link

27th should be fine, yeah. I want Starry Sarah to come too!

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:39 (twenty years ago) link

Hey Starry, why don't we ditch this lot?

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:40 (twenty years ago) link

:.............-((((((

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:43 (twenty years ago) link

I can do the 27th. There's a big plus for you all.

― Mark C (Mark C), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:51 (twenty years ago) link

I'm keen to meet both of you - I will try to stand the excitement of both in one night!

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:55 (twenty years ago) link

I'm not too exciting. Though I can turn my ears inside out.

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 10 May 2003 09:56 (twenty years ago) link

I talk rubbish and then go silent for varying time periods.

So, is it May 27th?

When is Geeta coming to London?

― jel -- (jel), Saturday, 10 May 2003 11:16 (twenty years ago) link

In june (that's what she told me so that will prob be the june FAP).

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Saturday, 10 May 2003 11:19 (twenty years ago) link

*bump*

― Cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 10:05 (twenty years ago) link

I'll be along to this as well, then (I have a job now). Where is it, exactly?

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 21 May 2003 10:26 (twenty years ago) link

omg i've met someone else featured on that page before! terrifying.

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 25 May 2006 09:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Which?

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Thursday, 25 May 2006 23:53 (seventeen years ago) link

"I think a lot of them sound unfinished," the fanatic scathes.

Melissa, did you really "scathe"? Like, proper menacing 'n' that? That'd be cool, though I suspect it's just some crappy NME hack raking through a thesaurus for a word that sounded, well, scathing.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 05:59 (seventeen years ago) link

em1ly hy4tt.

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 26 May 2006 07:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Radiohead covered Four Minute Warning?

BRILLIANT!

― Lucretia My Reflection (Lucretia My Reflection), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:02 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh, please tell me that means the Mark Owen song!

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:04 (seventeen years ago) link

*googles* - oh. Disappointment.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 26 May 2006 10:07 (seventeen years ago) link

4 Minute Warning is some crappy original song of theirs. Ugh.

Heh, Toby, where did you meet Em1ly?

Oh, and I did not scathe. I snarked.

― Melissa W (Melissa W), Friday, 26 May 2006 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

i met em1ly back when we were the two people with the most radiohead tapes in britain, i guess (97 or so). we both used to sell/swap tapes via nme ads. i met her when she visited cambridge for an unbelievable truth gig. she had a scrapbook which, she said, "proved that she was into them before anyone else". do you know her?

― toby (tsg20), Friday, 26 May 2006 16:55 (seventeen years ago) link

I didn't know you had ever been into Radiohead that much!

I only vaguely know her. I've seen her around, we've talked a bit, but she's not really part of my group.
