was pretty dead-doggish. Couldn't keep food down. Did you enjoy the bash?

I was most annoyed I couldn't make it, but by the time I felt better I'd missed my train

Better to leave believing everyone's a cunt but before they have the chance to prove it.
You mentioned it, yes. Erm, I sent the money up at Blousey's Bash, didn't I?

Need to arrange something al for before the gig as he wants to meet up for a pint.

I believe he's at a two day wedding thing that weekend and won't be back until then.

I also missed Al because I got distracted and didn't turn up 'till late.

Me and Beej got there about half 7 I think, only had time to shake his hand and say hi before he sodded off, which was a shame.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 17:12, Reply)

so got there about 8. Nicely timed for missing Al.

I mean, let's say that's what you really want, a virgin, that that is the pinical of your desire, then what good is 70 virgins when you're faced with eternity (seeing as how they don't believe in reincarnation). Give it a few melenia, given that time is ireivent in the after-life, 70 virgins (again, keeping in mind that is what they want, presuming the reverse is something that disgusts you) would be quite, well, undesireable.
Any no one wants an insecure little girl who goes "tee hee", laughing at everything while understanding nothing.
'ello lovely, how are you doing? How was your weekend?

how bloody boring having however many virgins would be - he'd rather have 4 complete and utter filthbags. That'd make for a much more interesting afterlife!
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:14, Reply)

miserable fart. He decided to have a mortgage-related sulk instead and then was irritatingly offhand when I called him earlier to see if he wanted me to come over. As a consequence I am now in a vile mood, sitting on my own at home stuffing my face with chinese takeaway.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:36, Reply)

I heard you made lovely cake. And his obvious loss
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:45, Reply)

or a reputation, even. I mentioned it at the time, but I was just called a pandering wanker and laughed at.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:48, Reply)

but it's edible enough that it's a good thing rather than a weird thing.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:52, Reply)

takeaway chinese is rarely very good or very bad. And it was his loss, although I doubt he could have handled staying up as late as I did after drinking as much as I did, having slept as little as I did and then going to work.
I made lemon drizzle at Jeff's request, I'm sure you've had it before...

It's a real shame you couldn't come, you were definitely missed! Although it would have been quite cosy with the three of us on Lampitos floor...
Next time!
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:53, Reply)

whereas he was a feature on Lampitos floor. Apparently it was the lesser of two evils, given the state of his hotel room.

Buzzing fridge, hole in the bathroom floor, paper thin mattresses and goods trains rumbling past on the line three hundred yards from the window.
In contrast, a floor was almost luxurious.

( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:26, Reply)

Or I reckon, given that we're asking for things from some celestrial all-powerful being, a few of those shapeshifter type people from the scifi books/films, that would be awesome.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:23, Reply)

It's doable but need converters that cost silly money, and being as I need a new lappy anyways, I'll get one with S-Video out, to match my telly.
Edit: before I get any more advice, yes I know they don't do this on new lappys, which is fine as I'm buying a second hand one. and no I shall not just by a new telly Mine works very well thank you.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:28, Reply)

I don't see the point in a second hand laptop, you'll save at most £50 when talking low end, which will run into beyond days and possibly even weeks every year in time spent waiting around for things to load. There is no cool points to be won by having retro laptops or even telivisions, like there is with audio equipment or things like cars.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:37, Reply)

That will talk to my (S-Video/RGB/Scart) TV with out spending extra money one digital to analog converters, I'll buy it. Equally if you can find my a decent quality 28" TV to replace my old be excellent Sony within that budget...... It's not about cool it's about cash.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:41, Reply)

Next month or soo the Amazon Kindle Fire will be coming out at around £130, which would do all your internet browsing, emails, films, books, 'casual' gaming. I'm pretty sure they'll be some sort of TV-Out to RGB/Scart (I have one for my iPad), which would allow for you to use that. For £10-20 you can get a phsyical keyboard for it, if that is an issue.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:49, Reply)

I very much doubt they'll miss the christmas rush in the UK as localisation (language, the 'kindle store', payment systems) aren't an issue. Amazon are bit funny with numbers, like the current-gen Kindle is £111, so it could be anything, but I doubt it'll be over £150.
Or they can be imported for a resonable amount.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 19:03, Reply)

so they've ironed out the kinks, but I really quite fancy one of them to be honest.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 19:07, Reply)

They're really clever really, it's hardware that the average person can afford (maybe with a bit of saving), and they'll make their money on the books/magazines/movies/TV/apps (etc). It's like what Apple have done in that respect, but the hardware isn't silly money.
It's apparently really easy to use too, if it turns out how it's supposed too, I would actually recomend it over a netbook or low-end laptop for the basic user, even though it's not designed as a replacement but a supliment.
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 19:12, Reply)

Sorry if I'm coming across narky or arrogant, I have asrtinking cold and it's making me short tempered. It's a descision I've spent a lot of time researching and I'm happy to just buy another windows lappy like this one. there are only 2 things wrong with this, it won't talk to the telly and t's been dropped too often.

I use my laptop for at least 3-4 hours a day, I also wouldn't buy a sofa that's uncomfortable to sit on and would (and 'am') rather wait until I can afford one that I actually like.

feeling better, but can't keep food down very well. It definitely had kicked in on Friday, so sorry I was a bit shit on the pier

The other week I found out that hydrochloric acid is actually thick and gloopy.
Whodathunkit?
( , Sun 2 Oct 2011, 18:40, Reply)

and it depends what the concentration is. Conc sulphuric acid is more gloopy than hydrochloric, in my experience.

My experience in applied chemistry is limited to the ingestion of MDs.

Hydrochloric acid is a gas at room temperature, it's usually sold as a solution in water or alcohol.
