Howdy Jeff
And yes. Yes it was.

Now you need to ask yourself one question: should I have another beer?
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 20:53, Reply)

The answer to that is indeed YES!

I can always rely on you to tell me what I want to hear

How's tricks?
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 20:55, Reply)

Not bad. I'm shattered (as seems to be my stock answer to all questions of late, asking me how I am).
I'm toying with the idea of watching Spooks at 9pm. This is how rock and roll my Sunday is.

You're not alone in this respect
I've spent my whole weekend in the office. Hopefully it will prove to be worth it in a couple of weeks' time, but I'm also knackered as a result, and this is why I'm sitting at home drinking by myself and nattering on here.

What beer have you got?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:00, Reply)

Just finished a bottle of St Peter's Ruby Red
Now moved onto the St Peter's Best Bitter. Both as delightful as I remember them being, but still a humble second place compared to the Mild of theirs I had the other night.

Good work!

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:02, Reply)

I've decided against Spooks.
I'm going with 'The Secret Life of the Airport' on BBC4.

On a school night? Steady on...

(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:00, Reply)

I can watch Spooks in the week.
If this airport thingy is shite, I can justify going to bed early.

Did you know us Brits have 44 public airports?
Well. Did ya?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:01, Reply)

I did not.
Thinking about it, I'm not surprised. It's just not something I ever really thought about...
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:03, Reply)

I know which the least used one is
Is BBC4 telling you that?

Not yet.
Give it chance.

Sorry to break the suspense.

We're still on Croydon at the moment.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:13, Reply)

The most important thing I ever learned from the brief times I've spent in Croydon
Was to get the fuck out of Croydon.
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:15, Reply)

That's probably why they had/have an airport.
For that very reason.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:16, Reply)

It is Croydon's best feature: numerous and varied public transport links
Trains, trams, aeroplanes - nearly every conceivable way to get you out of that depressing hole.

Except horse-drawn stagecoach. Part of me would like to write to Croydon Council and have them remedy this.
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:17, Reply)

Maybe stagecoach are their bus operator.
You might want to check that first.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:22, Reply)

Yeah, but they're typically automobiles.
The last Stagecoach bus I boarded was notable for its lack of horses, both in the front and in the passenger areas.

I felt like that too
Now I live in Bradford.

I have RECIDIVIST tattoed on my forehead.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:17, Reply)

And to think people say you'll regret your tattoos when you get older...

(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:18, Reply)

I may have
"Lived in Croydon 1999-2000" added.

Then they'll understand.

In could come in handy in emergencies
A bit like one of those tags to warn paramedics you're allergic to penicillin or what-have-you.

"Wait! This poor bastard once lived in Croydon."
"Well, that explains the psychosis...but how else are we supposed to get this hoover off the end of his penis?"

That's terrible
how are you Crow?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:03, Reply)

Well, I'll spare you the whinging as that's all I seem to do round here at the moment
So, much more relaxed after a couple of beers and Matt Schofield's last album. Not keeping too badly, all things considered. How are you, Amberl?
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:15, Reply)

Glad it's not terrible
have you heard Hugh Laurie's efforts at music? I'm alright thanks, being boring and staying at home most of the time to keep away from drinking etc
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:27, Reply)

Oddly, staying at home doesn't keep me away from drinking...
I can't say I have heard Hugh "No really, he is British" Laurie play the blues. I did read a very favourable review of one of his concerts and then completely forgot to search for any recordings. Any good?
(LongJohnBaldry, Sun 18 Sep 2011, 21:30, Reply)

Haven't heard much
but what I have heard doesn't sound good. How's Lampito?
