Hello!
Let's set up a new home for evening - the last place of abode is rather crammed.


( thealternativefact, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 19:41, 115 replies, latest was 17 years ago)

Is there anybody out there?
oooOOOoooOOO etc.

I am!
I've never really been away today.

Hey ladies *hugs all round*

I feel much better - beer in hand and a lovely lasagne in the oven.

Sometimes one can get worried about that
but it passes, thank heavens.
Are you at home, or still at work?

Edit: Hello BK - mmm, lasagne!

Yay for company :) I am currently in the early stages of setting up some kind of localish minibash.

Should get the *flex* back in my step.

Ooh, where would this be?
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 19:49, Reply)

Well, I'm based in Canterbury
and there's a surprising number of us around here - there are pubs with real ale and stuff, it would be cosy :)
( Maladicta, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 19:52, Reply)

The good thing for me
Is that Leeds is pretty central so it doesn't really take too long to get most places.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 19:54, Reply)

^ I nearly went to uni in Leeds
but we got egged on our campus tour. That was a bit offputting.

What?

Big studenty place - I think Leeds Uni and Leeds Met had about 70,000 between them.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 20:02, Reply)

I nearly went to Leeds too!
I didn't, but not for any egg-related reason.

Canterbury - bit too far for me for an evening jaunt. I love that place though.

I love Leeds, too.
( thealternativefact, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 20:05, Reply)

Eh, it wasn't that that put me off going completely,
I went to Exeter the next week and preferred that, but I didn't get in in the end so I ended up here :)

Helloooooo!
I have had pizza and chips and feel like a new women.

Anyone know where I can get one?

@BK - you in Leeds eh! I am quite close and could be your stalker if you wish it.

Seems like people are wandering in.
Hello BGB!

Mmm...chips.
( thealternativefact, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 20:14, Reply)

A new woman, BGB?
Let me know if you find a supply!

Actually, I found a supply (numbering one) last night, but it turns out she lives a long way away. So that's no good.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 20:17, Reply)

Chips are a panacea for all ills.
They can certainly bring a smile to my face.

I currently have pasta on the go
So I shall be here for about 3 more minutes then I'll be back later.

I've just cooked lovely roasted veg and creme fraiche sauce - all homemade (leftovers from the roasted veg the other day). Gordon Brown would love me.

But I won't let him.

Pasta's cooked!
Catch you all later.

If BK turns down BGB's offer to stalk him, he will appear rude.

If he accepts it, he is sick and twisted.

Surely, by the nature of stalking
being turned down does not prevent you from actually doing it?

In fact, I suspect it would be more fun that way.

Hi Becky.
Come and save BK from the big bad blouse.
( girlinthehole, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 21:03, Reply)

It appears
that BK has already been saved. And indeed is being well looked after!

And don't worry, clendrix. I'm not the murdering type. Too messy.

Not that I'd ever want to bump off a b3tard, but if I found the need to remove someone from existence, I could subcontract the job to someone with, oh, I don't know, maybe a lot of knives, say...

Except he's apparently too nice to kill people too.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 7 Jul 2008, 21:07, Reply)

the Lunatic Artist and a friend of hers during one evening when they started playing with a multitrack recorder. She recorded about three vocal tracks, he added drums, bass, guitar and brass, and it gives me goosebumps to listen to.

yes, another tip would be don't get very drunk and 'elevated' and decide to go to the local kebab van... and order two whole onions chopped up. Then don't eat them.

I've done that, once. It was about 4 days until I could close my mouth.

How are we all this evening?

If it's not you though, then Kaol has larger breasts than I'd previously thought.

I always thought that Phil Jupitus' best role, one that he really brought his acting and comedy skills to, was when he played a bin man at the end of Mike Bassett: England Manager.

Hot Rats and Absolutely Free are probably my faves, although they're all good. The man was a twisted lyrical genius.

edit: It seems like you already have Hot Rats (it has Willie the pimp on it)

Get Absolutely Free -- it's a good example of the lyrical side of his music, which I personally prefer.
