A mate of mine was out the other night and had to get out of the car twice to spew as his wife was driving him home, then spent the rest of the night emitting into the toilet from both ends.

It wasn't the drink, it was a bug. So you could use that excuse too.

Bacon rolls anyone?

My weekend
was about as exciting as, well, a wet weekend.

Friday was OK - my sister came for a brief visit, so we had lots of wine.

Saturday - sat and worked on music at the computer. And posted here. No gig, as it fell through.

Sunday - watched the Silverstone GP, which was a bit of a highlight of the weekend, then played at a wedding at night.

A bit dull, but I've had worse.

Edit *hands bacon roll to Moniker*

Any sauce with that?

Ah, I think I know the sort of thing you're talking about. It's made from that kind of dry, foamy chewy sweet stuff?

Haven't eaten a sweet made of that stuff in ages.

@HLT - Thanks for the back rub! I have a history of dodgy back-ness. It stems from lugging my keyboard to and from gigs. Occasionally a disc gives way and it hurts for a bit. It happened as I sat down on Saturday.

It's not too bad this time, but I have been immobilised by it in the past.

ooh, incidentally, my weekend was much brightened by the arrival of an enormous yellow rubber duck, which is now living in my bath!

For those of you who read of my Royal Mail-related grumblings, this just reinforced my low opinion of them as the parcel was posted on June 9th. And was sent by registered delivery.

I haven't felt this good on a Monday in a long time. I suspect it's the exhaustion from having been out every night for a week, seeing as I'm old now and clearly can't handle that kind of fun.

On Saturday I had six species of vertebrate and two species of invertebrate for dinner. How many different animals have you eaten at once?

there's not much you can do with a herniated disc other than apply ice when it happens and keep active to stop the muscles seizing up.

But it's good to know you're all so keen to help. Especially with the rubbing...

Fish are animals, HLT
in the same way that mammals and reptiles are. It's just that we tend to use the word 'animals' to describe land-based critters. But birds, insects, molluscs and even humans are animals too.

Tulips aren't though.

And come to mention it, the song from the street urchins did have a bit that sounded like 'Donald where's yer troosers?' in the middle.

Farmyard sound effects
Unfortunately, this does not involve goats or peacocks.

@Kaol: I thought you'd already started a new job. Thinking of leaving so soon?

EDIT: @K2k6: I've done that. I have found some good effects this way, but no ammount of tweaking with Cooledit etc. can turn them into exactly what I want. And the quality of the sound-samples is variable to say the least. And besides, these are the main sounds and not just background noise.

Keeping penguins
would be OK if you lived in Antarctica, and could provide them with fish and nice icy ocean water to swim in.

But in Britain it's a bit wrong. Although I once went to Edinburgh zoo and was quite taken with the penguin parade. This may however have been because the girl in charge of the penguins wasn't wearing a bra and was wobbling around under her t-shirt.

@Dr Minge - not bad thanks. Synopsis of my dull weekend further up the thread.

@clendrix. I think I must just be in a naughty mood today. Minor events in my life have raised my naughtiness levels slightly.

Anchovies would be too salty for tiny penguins. In a somewhat-related fashion, I discovered yesterday that a tin of anchovies is far too many to put on a single pizza.
The tiny penguins could live in the salad drawer in your fridge, and they would come with an ice-cube tray to make iceberg-shaped cubes for them to play on.

No, I have not given this too much thought. Plotting it for decades? Nonsense.

Well
I'm not really supposed to have fires in the lab, other than the Bunsen burners and gas torches, but I'm using the hot bench to dispose of some old residue (because it's fun).

So I've got little crucibles of burning sludge flickering away on the bench. One of them had a wee overflow problem and dropped burning liquid onto a rubber tube, which required some extinguishment earlier.

I think roasting marshmallows may be hazardous because of the chemical toxicity issues though!

that is fucking genius

especially as I do have a door lying (standing) about the place.

you have saved me a fair amount of hassle. I was going to use a plastic sheet, but it clearly would've ended up dumping crap in the bath

edit: this day started off looking shitty and has got better as it has gone on!

@k2k6
that is so cool. you get to burn stuff at work. and you're probably right about the toxic marshmallows as well.

can we melt biros and burn splints in the bunsen burners then? I'll wear safety goggles and everything!

it does indeed!

in case you missed my announcement a little while ago, our first ever proper gig went really well. We had a blast and it was pretty well received, so hopefully the one on the 26th should be good too.

we're playing this sunday too which is nice, and may have got ourselves a regularly monthly acoustic gig somewhere very close to my house!

I will certainly be less stressed
I am still going to have to work really hard on my bathroom that weekend though which sucks major balls

(*salutes* Major Balls!)

I hope that I shall be able to spend a reasonable amount of time with you folk though

edit: we also got played on the radio again this weekend just past. admittedly only local, and our drummer's wife knows the DJ, but they wouldn't play us repeatedly if they thought we were crap right?

Similar here. I hate it when they think that they can make me do stuff, just because they're paying me.

I'll be off any time though. have a nice evening and nigh you crazy kids!

So I might treat myself to a trip home on the tube within the next few minutes!

Bah.
I have to stay at work until six. In protest, I do not intend to actually do any work.

Later I have to go to the shops and make dinner and do laundry and such, so I might not make it back. You all... just... go on without me. I'll be ok.

I am in such a bad mood.
I went swimming even though I didn't really want to go swimming. But I thought, no, come on now and get some exercise. I got in there and I could see the pool was packed before I got changed but I still went in. Why! fer fucks sake. I then spent 10 minutes swimming around people and came back out, got changed and went home.

Bah!
