Thing is, for all I understand the theory of "who need a question, lets just chat" threads, they tend to end up boring, at first anyway, because the questions start people talking. Nothing against you Doze, and it's all user generated so I can't complain.

I think with the advent of shoe polish discussion, OT may have reached its nadir in terms of the banality of everyday life seeping into the wonderful world of the innernets.
William Gibson is spinning in his pre-death grave, as the Matrix he predicted descends into discussions about 'margarine as shoe polish' and polishing LARPing kit in order to slow its painful degradation.

Has it really come to such a day as this?

Must be learning shit by osmosis, innit?

Also, speaking of alumni, QT is coming from one of my universities. I find this somewhat exciting, and feel it lends some form of credibility to my degree.

Having two universities
I do occasionally get to see one on University Challenge. Mostly Bristol, though, as Strathclyde doesn't ever seem to bother its arse.

I thought you went to Glasgow?
We have three universities. One is totally an HE college. One is a former Poly but I'll give it its due...

How very dare you!!
No, I went to uni IN Glasgow. Strathclyde - although once a technical institute - is a proper university too. Our poly turned university is Glasgow Caledonian.

What I loved about Strathclyde is that it isn't a campus university - it's right in the middle of the city. See also, University of Bristol.

Ah I see.
Ours and JMU are city centre. Liverpool Hope 'University' is way out, with a few recently-acquired buildings near town.

I think universities must be like football teams
as most cities seem to have two - one that's proper 'establishment' and one that's the young upstart taht's more trendy.

I only looked at two English universities
and one was Royal Holloway. I thought it was a really beautiful building. Perhaps not the best reason to choose your uni...

JMU ain't trendy and Hope is full of nuns.
We have three. But then again we have two cathedrals. *hyacinth*

Well, Glasgow has three, but I wasn't counting Cally.
Bristol technically has three as well, but I don't count the old polytechnic one.

Is Hope the one Edge Hill used to be?
or is that yet another one?

Nah, Edge Hill's not in Liverpool.

Ballard overrated?
He was our greatest living novelist until he carked it. The baton was of course passed to John Berger.

cocaine nights appears to be some detective story with nothing special about it at all. I think I read another by him and was underwhelmed, but that was some time ago

Empire of the Sun was good
most of his work ranges between alright and pretty good

'alright' and 'pretty good'?
Where do you place The Atrocity Exhibition?
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 20 Oct 2011, 22:54, Reply)
Never read it I'm afraid

(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Thu 20 Oct 2011, 23:00, Reply)
Perhaps you should.
Ballard has three distinct phases- the sci fi that he wrote in the 50s and 60s, his experimental period in the 70s, and his more realist work in the 80s and 90s. The Atrocity Exhibition is the beginning of the experimental phase, it's Burroughsian in its form but firmly rooted in the established, formal intellectualism that marked out Ballard's narrative voice.

He was a wonderful writer of short stories too- his later period sci fi leanings were at their best in short prose- Memories of the Space Age is a great jumping off point. If you have the stamina, his collected short stories is well worth getting through. It's pretty much 50 years worth of short prose. I'd get the single, 1000 odd page one rather than the two standalone volumes.

Because you have no noticeable sense of irony?

(I helped save b3ta! CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 20 Oct 2011, 23:14, Reply)
I am a highly ironic man.
Though I concede that text may not be the best vehicle for irony when one considers the lack of affect a messageboard affords.

You have one hell of a way of cutting through the crap Berk. Love it.
(I helped save b3ta! CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 20 Oct 2011, 23:30, Reply)
my main beef with you is your absolutism.
You seem a decent enough chap, but, it appears, that when you like something, or believe something you believe it to be absolute truth and everyone else to be wrong.

I have always held this to be the mark of a child or an absolute tool. This, by the way is why I assumed you were younger than you are.

Now it did cross my mind earlier, I think when Kroney was winding you up about JD, that maybe you put this on as quite a clever wind up, subtle and long running as I say.

This is probably all shit, but I like to think the best of people, it's a failing of mine.
(I helped save b3ta! CQ Knows the truth, all of it., Thu 20 Oct 2011, 23:28, Reply)
We all create characters on here.
Mine is a mixture, and an exaggeration of, my cultural tastes and references. At the same time, I know what shit smells like and I have no qualms about calling it out as such.

And I've never really had a beef about pretentiousness- I see it as harmless posturing. Rather that than brash, vulgar celebration of ignorance. By that I am absolutely not referring to anyone here, just something I often encounter, what with frequenting the sort of establishments as I frequently diddly do.

Alright?
