The advice I got from grown ups has
Pretty much universally sucked. People being older than me does not make them wiser.

These pearls, however, are useful and many are direct quotes.

Go to university close enough that you can get home if you need to but not close enough that parent can 'drop in'.

Remember that you are good enough as you are, just precisely as you are - if other people don't like it, that says something about them, not you.

Wear sunscreen. Especially on the exposed parts of lady bumps.

Learn about what you like, trust that you will find other people who know the rest. (especially applies to geeky stuff)

DO NOT start smoking.

Never pass up an opportunity to pee.

Don't regret. You made those choices with the best information you had at the time and regret is energy wasted on things you can't change.

Trust yourself and your feelings.

Use the long drop loos at Glastonbury.

Avoid tequila.

Laugh as often as you can.

Be not afraid of your beliefs and your ability and right to express them.

Take your damn shoes off and feel some grass under your feet.

Learn to ride a bike.

There will be more, I'm sure, but to finish, and the one I like the most and has made the most difference to me of late...

Never, ever, forget to play. What's the worst that can happen?

Superperson - why?

I wondered about how to phrase that one, though. I think that people are all, at birth, good enough. I think people are taught to think they are not and I think that sucks. I think everyone *is* good enough and that a lot of the fuckedupness in the world comes from people thinking they aren't good enough, and therefore asserting power over others needlessly. If they felt ok about themselves, they wouldnl't have to do that.

Hi DIT
Aw shucks!


Re: being witches.
If we had been around during the medieval times, is there any one of us b3tans who would have not been accused of witchcraft?

All this talk of not watching football reminds me that on these QOTW chat threads, they very rarely rely on anything to do with pop-culture and what's going on in this world. It's all about the shared hyper-reality we create with our combined weird immaginations.

I would've been accused.
When I was a kid we got taken on a school trip to Mountfitchet Castle.

They showed us a barrel that had spikes on the inside of it. They used to roll you down the hill in the barrel. If you lived, you were a witch. If you died, you were innocent.

Sounds like someone didn't think that through...
_______

"Er... My lord?"
"Yes, serf?"
"Well, it's about the spiky barrel..."
"Yes?"
"It's just that... You know... The Goodwives we roll in it aren't likely to live, are they?"
"No."
"So, what we're saying is, er, that even the guilty may die?"
"Yes."
"Isn't that bad?"
"It's only bad if there's no such thing as witchcraft, silly servant!"

It's been lovely chatting. Let's see if we can get through tomorrow without anyone organising another bash - or at least, if they do, let's make it for 2009!

Laser pointers are ace. My friend has one which my cats go mad for, he sends them running all round the house with it. Red or green laser?

Red, and it says
"Bristol-Myers Squibb" on it.

I had fun shining it on silly drunk people.

Yeah, quite a big table.

The cleaners laughed themselves to tears when they walked it, because I was wearing smart-ish clothes, and a suit jacket, it looked like one of the guests had passed out from the night before!

It's less easy (though not impossible) to fall off the floor.

The floor
Had broken glass and sticky-ness on it...
So I made the right choice.

If he has a penis.

I mean, I know he's a fictional character, but there was a whole book written about him, and as far as I'm aware he must have a penis.
That's because he "created man in his own image".

If God turns out to be real, and I ever meet him, I'm gonna kick him in the fuckin' knackers.
( Cawl - King Of Wales, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 13:00, closed)

OK...
so he created man in his own image... why, then, do some people insist on chopping bits of themselves off for god - do they think he made a mistake?

I'd suggest btw, the decocking shears might be more amusing than kicking him.I have a lovely mental image of a Socrates from Bill and Ted type fella running around, robe flapping, and you chasing him with said shears now..

Heya Clendrix
I'm not up to much, had a busy few days and have more lined up so need some rest. I'm spending a lazy day in bed sorting out puzzling philosophical questions here, before maybe doing some dull housey stuff later.

How 'bout you? Any plans?

I worked in a bar last night, and didn't finish until half 4 this morining, then slept on a table there, and got woken up by the cleaners.

I've gotta go back there to work at about 5.

yes, I know. Hideous. But my job is really only busy about one month a year, and this is the month! Ancrenne, your day sounds much nicer!

Kaol, I noted you were in Russell Square on Bash Day. Wish I'd known! I work near there - if you're back there again any time, let me know. I can always be enticed out for daytime beers.

the thing with the stars is
that they are all made of different fabrics and different purples, already pinned on, some need machine sewing, some need hemming....

So just doing some means I'll lose the lovely pattern I made which took ages

taking them all off means I'll lose the lovely pattern

Fuck it I might just sew them on badly. It's not like work can fire me.

becks - how many leaves left?

just staple each one in the middle. I'm sure that'll do the job.

Kaol, indeed I am not male and therefore feel safe from your tonguely attentions.

I will not be cleaning Kaol up - I will instead drag him to Russell Square gardens, where the tramps will adopt him and care for him as one of their own.

*sparkles in a star like fashion*

I'll do my best with it later.

I went to sleep not long after going offline last night and left my laptop on the next to the bed so as soon as I woke up, it was there.

I really am starting to worry about my b3ta addiction now. Anyone think I need to? Maybe I'm replacing cigarettes with b3ta.
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 14:05, closed)

I've actually fallen asleep in Russel Square Gardens
Before, and woken up on a bench with a tramp sitting either side of me.

I gave them a can of cider each and had a chat with them, they were nice.

The bad tramps are the ones that hang around Waterloo in the early hours of the morning.

EDIT: Hi Spakka!

EDIT 2: Ancrenne, nothing wrong with b3ta, it won't kill you like cigarettes will.
( Cawl - King Of Wales, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 14:07, closed)

Yes, Russell Square
does have a higher class of tramp. I wouldn't abandon you to just anyone, you know.

My b3ta addiction
I too am begining to worry about it. I honestly think it's taking over my life. I'm meant to be working on my project so I'd have something to show prospective employers when I go jobhunting next month, but I keep being pulled back in to b3taland and end up doing nearly fuck all work.

BTW: Thanks to last night's discussion, I feel better about missing the bash and look forward to the next one. So yes, you could say I'm having a pleasnat day.

EDIT: @Kaol: Wile b3ta cannot kill you, it will give you a big gap on your CV.

In a strange link back to topic, my Grandfather once told me "what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger".

This was before he died of lymphoma. Well, actually, the cancer didn't kill him, it was pneumonia that did. So he was right, I guess.

But the point is, what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger.
And b3ta won't kill you.
( Cawl - King Of Wales, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 14:19, closed)

So b3ta might make me stronger?
At what, though?

I need to start earning money soon, really do. Maybe i could invent b3ta patches, patent them, and get rich enough to start my business like that.

Re tramps:
Once when I was in Portland, Oregon, USA, I ended up talking to a tramp while waiting for a bus. He smelled so badly that I had a distinct memory of the smell for months to come. Can't remember much about the conversation but he did mention he was a veteran of the Korean war.

it's not as elaborate as the last one I did when I lived in High Wycombe. I did a mahoosive cherry tree stencil across two walls. That was actually using a stencil as well so it was a fucking nightmare leaving bits to dry and then going over them again. I'm doing this free hand so it's a lot easier.

I've also pinched the bench from the kitchen as it never gets used and there's another one round the other side of the table if anyone does want to use it so I can reach the top bits. Think I'll keep it so I have something to put my tv and stuff on once I'm finished as I'm sure it's not good to have them all stacked up on top of each other.

Basically, it's a means of having a live update to stuff that happens on the web (eg. blog entries). On Firefox, you can subscribe to a Live bookmark (an RSS feed) and it will show you if something's been updated without having to keep pressing F5. Can't be RSS'd to come up with a better explanation right now, but check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS

Nice one. I look forward to seeing the wall. Must take a lot of patience to do that many leaves.

Polish beer names
'Okocim' makes me want to repeat the name in a silly high-pitched voice and put stress on the final sylable.

'Tyskie' makes me want to sing songs about it.

The beer that put me over the edge that night was 'Żywiec Porter'. I asked for one at the bar, and I thought the barman was being kind when he got me a second. Turns out that in Poland, the 'two pints of Żywiec Porter on one night' is a local drinking-challenge.

those rooms look fine - is that where you're going to stay? If you are, I will too.

Spak - a worrying thought indeed. Perhaps we'll meet each other and abandon the plan of meeting B3tans IRL altogether, due to its scare factor.

I've emailed, so can let you guys know what they say. I stayed in a Uni flat one year and they had double beds and en suite rooms - some of the halls were fecking awful, but I guess they just let out the decent places.

Will post responses in a thread and the calendar when I hear. The Uni calendar says they have availability them but I've no idea when things like graduation are.

Wieldiness
is not a problem per se, just that it takes a while to load. I agree we don't want to have parallel chats, as that gets confusing, but maybe we could agree on a maximum thread length before one of us posts something marginally on topic and we all go and chat there.

It's sort of happening like that anyway, as someone (can't remember who, but could be mistaspakkaman) is kindly putting 'chat continues here' links at the end of threads.

Maybe I'm just getting old!

Re organising uni accomodation and breakfast: Keep me informed...

Do you think it's time we organized the trains? My plans on getting there are still up in the air, but we could take a train back to London on Sunday afternoon.

Re drinks - if I have baileys, should be OK as long as nobody squirts lime-juice into my mouth.

PS. I think I might be able to make it to the September Essex beer festival afterall, but this may involve some cycling to save cash. I probably won't decide for sure until after the July bash.
( mistaspakkaman - think of it as an extended vacation!, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 21:14, closed)

Trains...
I think we could book ourselves onto one on Sunday now, couldn't we? I plan to buy two single tickets, so I'm happy to do that and sort out my Saturday one separately.
Which would you prefer, to Waterloo (cheaper) or to Paddington (quicker)?
( clendrix has norks, but they belong to Al, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 21:18, closed)

If I'm travelling by train with my fellow b3tans
the slower train would be better. Cheaper is just an added bonus.

What's everyone else doing about gettign back to London / Southhampton?

BTW: If we book the tickets online, doesn't that mean we have reserved seats and there's no guarantee we'll be sat close to eachother?

EDIT: Is it more expensive if I get the return one soon and the outbound one later?
( mistaspakkaman - think of it as an extended vacation!, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 21:20, closed)

Two singles are sometimes cheaper
but not always.
If we have reserved seating, we don't *have* to sit in those seats - we can sit where seats are not reserved, so that's OK.

The Trainline is offering tickets at £17 on the 13.22 and £22 on the 15.24. The one in between those two we'd have to make two changes on.

You guys work out what you need to with trains
and I'll fit with that if I can. Want to check with other travellers too before making any commitments. But cheap is going to be my main deciding factor.

And I will not be drinking Baileys, lime or no lime. Don't do dairy so I'm safe from the prospect of curdling.
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 21:34, closed)

We could just book then
and tell everyone what we're doing. Do you want to? Which train would you prefer? I like the idea of not being back too late (school night, cat to feed etc.), but also have a fear that we might not want to get up too early...
( clendrix has norks, but they belong to Al, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 21:38, closed)

Re train times
Tricky that.

If we want to have a lie-in, hangover, vomit-cleaning and breakfast, would that make 13.22 too early? Or is arriving in London at 18:58 too late? I'd choose the 15:24 train, but if everyone else wants the 13:22 train, I'll go with that.

By the way, are we going from Exeter Central or Exeter St. Davids? The Waterloo train stops at both.
( mistaspakkaman - think of it as an extended vacation!, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 21:47, closed)

st davids is better
much better for the uni at least.

i'm going to want to prolong my visit for as much time as i can, so won't be leaving early, so will probably travel separately from you guys
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 21:53, closed)

Exeter St Davids
same price and it won't matter if we're closer to central for breakfast as we can just get on there instead.

I'm fine with the 15.20 train from ESD - I can't go back later than that because my flatmate's away and I have to feed the cat (who I will abandon for the weekend!).

Good evening my dear Monkey-Lizards.
Missed me?
*grins*

Work was rubbish, I'd lost the will to live about half way through.

And I sliced my finger open, and managed to get lime fresh juice in it. That was painful.

But now I'm baaaaack, woo!

Thanks
I'm just glad the sodding thing's finished.

Ancrenne when's your last day at work?
( beckyjsbx FAH Q, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:11, closed)

It would appear
That it is meant to rain in N.Ireland all week. Hoorah.

Just as well I'm taking the mactop then, I'll try and get on the internet where I'm staying, which will be good.

And it's good, mixing work and play. Especially when work involves standing playing the bass.

TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!


I have to go in for the morning then have 5.5days leave which takes me up to the end of my notice period at the end of June.

I'll have trouble sleeping tonight I think as I am so excited about not being there any more :) Even if I didn't get the starry dress finished :(

I'm going in in my hippiest of hippie clothes tomorrow I think.

EDIT - evening Kaol. Isn't that the third injury to that finger since Thursday now?

I kind of am.
But that's more down to me being me.
Welcome to the World Of Kaol, first ride half price.
Gayer told me that I managed to smack my face into a wall on Thursday night...

Belmsford - I might (depending on a few things) be in touch re lifts for August but will have Big Girls Blouse with me as she's visiting from oop north. Cheers for the offer though :)

YAY Ancrenne :)
Finish the starry dress now. It'd so be worth it!

Evening Kaol, lemon juice in cuts is a bugger. As is surgical spirit

Night Clendrix

I've just quit smoking (again). I've got patches ready to put on tomorrow, so I'm really going to try this time.
( beckyjsbx FAH Q, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:18, closed)

Becks you can do it! Go on girlie.
Put the patch on before bed and then don'e even have one tomorrow. It makes sense! Not a hope of finishing the dress though, far too much prep work to be done to get it neat.

Spakka..no idea! I'll see what the weather is doing at the time :)

Plaster dust in a cut
Stings pretty bad too. Plus it disguises the cut for a while, making it go a strange grey colour, even when washed.

That was a bad afternoon, that was.

you make lovely things sound bad, you bad person.

( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:22, closed)

Tried that before
and it made me stay awake all night, so don't really want that.

I'm going to bed now before cravings kick in and then can put the patch on as soon as I get out the shower tomorrow morning.

Night all

Night becky
Good luck with the quitting.

I got the dust in it when cutting plasterboard for a friends loft. Managed to cut the leg of my trousers open too, and it was a little close to the crotch for comfort.
(PenguinOfDeath wants a holiday on, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:26, closed)

PoD
What were you cutting it with to nearly slice your penis off?

EDIT: G'night sleeping people.
( Cawl - King Of Wales, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:27, closed)

A craft knife
A sharp one at that. And it slipped out of the plasterboard, and moved rather quickly towards my leg.

Didn't draw any blood luckily.
(PenguinOfDeath wants a holiday on, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:29, closed)

*shudders*
The thought of a really sharp knife slicing someone does funny things to me.
I don't mean that in a "trying to be creepy" way.
I just feel like it's happening to me *shivers*

EDIT - Kaol - did you lend PoD the de-cocking shears?
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:33, closed)

Well, to be honest
It wasn't all that much fun. I was really quite terrified. It could have gone very badly.

But it didn't, so I just started cutting again.
(PenguinOfDeath wants a holiday on, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:35, closed)

Continuation after injury is the mark of a true DIY bodger. Well done.

I should be shocked at that.
But I'm not, it's pretty much my opinion too.

I'm gonna be out of Health and Safety soon, maybe forever, yay!

I drilled my finger once
Does that count?
I am sober tonight, its awful. Mind you, the Guiness/biopot combination was fun on the afternoon stroll in the New Forest.
I accept no responsibility for dead wildlife, who appear to have been gassed.

Finger-drilling counts
Yep.
Welcome to the club!

As regards drinking, I'm on the Red Diesel tonight.
Work in the morning, so I'm relying on residual alcohol content getting me through to lunchtime.
( Cawl - King Of Wales, Sun 22 Jun 2008, 23:47, closed)

Gonna be out of it?
What hoorahs!!!

At least I was safer than my friend, who was undertaking some midair jigsawing. In flipflops.

So if I go out to the forest next weekend belmsford
which areas of devastation should I avoid?

Forest?
Any reason you're going there ancrenne?

I feel I should try and sleep a reasonably amount before travelling tomorrow. I was in an awful mood today from tiredness.

Kaol- Red Diesel? Again?

*smacks self in the head*

There's no-one to clean you up tonight you know....
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:01, closed)

Red Diesel
Has to be done.
I mean... I couldn't drink at work, as if I had a crash on the way home in a car I'm not insured on, that I'd "borrowed", whilst drunk, things would be bad.
There're all kinds of places I couldn't visit if I was in prison.

If you tried it, you'd understand.
Or did you try some on Thursday? I can't remember.
( Cawl - King Of Wales, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:14, closed)

I did try some
It was not at all unpleasant.

I just (nowadays, most of the time) prefer my alcohol to tickle me gently rather than smack me repeatedly about the head with a shovel.
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:20, closed)

To be fair
The one you tried did have a quarter of a bottle of vodka in it...

"I just (nowadays, most of the time) prefer my alcohol to tickle me gently rather than smack me repeatedly about the head with a shovel."

Sort of describes me as well at the moment.

Hmm..
maybe that's why it tasted so good.

I think my life will always have times that I want to get completely annihilated. But they aren't as commonplace as before..
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:33, closed)

That sounds good and healthy though.
Nothing wrong with getting shit-faced and waking up in a park, covered in anti-climb paint and leaves.

It's when you do it too often that it becomes a problem.
( Cawl - King Of Wales, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:36, closed)

kaol
That sounds like my sort of night out.

I think there's no bash yet in October and the leaves will be good then. The 'b3ta annihilation bash, only those with spare livers need apply'

I shall endeavour to not chip my teeth, tear open my face, or disappear to an unofficial after gig party with a band of notorious drug capacity.
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:43, closed)

Haven't done that in nearly 3 years
but may end up doing it again at some point in the future.
( mistaspakkaman - think of it as an extended vacation!, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:43, closed)

Sounds a plan.
I'll eat beforehand this time.
That'll give me a lot more capacity.

As long as I don't end up getting chased by gang-members again, it's fine.
( Cawl - King Of Wales, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:46, closed)

Re october bash
I think we're getting to the point of us having a never-ending bash.

EDIT: Re forgetting to eat beforehand: That was the cause of the second-last time this happened.
( mistaspakkaman - think of it as an extended vacation!, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:50, closed)

we must not
have an october bash. And certainly not one designed for maximum drunkenness. I rip so many clothes when I'm pissed and adventuring that anti climb paint is the least of my worries.

I am so so so skint that I am going to have to start fortune telling or kidnapping or something equally nefariously money for old rope-y just as it is...
( ancrenne doesn't eat anything that can play video games, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:54, closed)

Re money for bashes
If I don't get a job soon, I'll have to rely on companies I interview at subsidising my travel. But done creatively, I may even be able to turn a profit this way (eg. if I have two interviews in the same town).
( mistaspakkaman - think of it as an extended vacation!, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 0:59, closed)

I'm actually doing ok for money
For the first time since I graduated.
I'm about to change jobs, and not have to pay rent anymore.

So, yep, it's time to buy a car, I think.
Then I can come to all the bashes, and buy you lovely skint people a drink.

Spakka - if I don't get some paid work soon, I'll be considering paying for bashes by taking a mortgage holiday. Seriously.
