Afternoon All
Anyone about? Its awful quiet today...
Its sunday afternoon, and I've nowt to do but the this weeks Laundry. Ican't even make cakes and biscuits cos the oven seems to be broke and only goes on at gas mark 9. Anyone know anything about ovens? My landlord will be at least a week soting that out! :O

How is everyone/anyone?

Hey Weekirst
Not too bad - Miss K has gone back to Manchester so I'm all bored and watching films then playing footie later on.

How's you?

Hello
I've had a quiet Sunday just chilling after moving all the stuff from a 5-bed biiig house into a 2-bed end of terrace.

I'm about knackered!

Hello.
Sundays suck. We have been to town to try and find Mr Bin a new wallet among other things. No one seems to sell them. The only ones we could find were in marks and sparks and they were leather which he didn't want. FAIL.

weekirst - sounds like your thermostat is knackered. Assuming gas ovens have thermostats, which they must, surely?

Edit@Mrs L - Wallets are usually found in market stalls, in my experience.

What I don't understand about Sundays is why is there nothing on the telly?
There used to be some good stuff like 'Richard not Judy' but they've all gone. Working on a Sunday suck more than Sundays do though.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 31 Aug 2008, 16:36, Reply)

There's plenty on the telly
if your spend the day watching stuff you recorded while away on holiday, like I've just done.

Telly's crap though. Off-topic is where the entertainment is.

Or it would be if there were more of us.

how are you all.

I'm mildly inebriated

you'll be pleased to hear I got some surf yesterday, had a bbq and today have been playing a pleasant sunday lunchtime gig with my band. (see main OT board for the exciting bit)

Wasted talent.
I've done some drawing and realised I'm going to have to do a hell of a lot more if I'm going to get back to the ability I once had.


Making myself go to the gym is a piece of piss compared with making myself sit down with a pencil and drawing pad.

Phooey!
( girlinthehole, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 18:33, Reply)

I was never any good at drawing/painting or the like
Even to this day I can be out-drawn by a 12 year old. I struggle to draw a straight line.

So your attempts will be better than mine, BGB.

Edit - Good news Vipros. Well done.

Like drawing
They say you never forget how to ride a bike. This may be true, but you do lose a lot of skill and confidence over the years. I was on a bike for only the second time in over twenty years when I was on holiday recently, and I was wobbly as hell.

Even my skills at teh sex aren't that out of practice!

I learnt this while at art school.

@K2K6
Only when their talking passionatly about their art.

Edit - I met my future bezzie mate the first day at art school. We recognized in each other that we were the least likely to become art cocks so clung together while everyone else started taking it all too seriously.
( girlinthehole, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 20:22, Reply)

Ah yes
Of course. They get a bit worked up about it.

I saw a trailer today for a programme about Tracy Emin. Now there's a pretentious waste of space if ever I saw one.

I dunno about Tracy. I get the impression she doesn't take herself too seriously.

The trouble about the art world is that to get anywhere you have to become one of them.

@BGB
Which makes me all the more glad that I'm a scientist, and not an artist.

If you could call music 'art' then I do appreciate some stuff which others would find a bit over the top, like certain elements of jazz and prog rock. But I have my limits!
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 20:39, Reply)

My family are art cocks.
My uncle is an art professor. And mr Bin is, among other things, an artist. See profile for website as I can't an bothered to type it as I'm on the phone.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 31 Aug 2008, 20:41, Reply)

@Mrs Bin
Just checked out Mr Bin's website....Woo!

Mr Bin can't be a cock or else you wouldn't have married him. There are some artists who seem to have evaded this problem. There were some cool people at art college actually but most were numpties.
( girlinthehole, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 20:49, Reply)

Yeah
I had a look at Mr Bin's site last week, and was sufficiently impressed. I know nothing of art, so I can't give any informed opinion, but to the layman it looked pretty good.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 20:52, Reply)

Mr Bin's not an art cock
I think he only went to art college to spend three years looking at nudey ladies.

( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 20:57, Reply)

@Mrs Bin and K2K6.
Have you seen most of the nude models that art colleges have. I think his motives were artistic, believe me.
( girlinthehole, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 21:02, Reply)

I did once see
an exhibition of paintings of a nude woman from students at the art college in Dundee.

I don't know how good a likeness they were, but she appeared to have a minge like Terry Waite's allotment (to use one of my favourite phrases)
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 21:06, Reply)

@K2K6
You have to remember that beautiful bodies can be very boring to draw. It's sometimes about the form and not the beauty of something that can inspire you.
( girlinthehole, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 21:10, Reply)

That's the line I always use BGB.
I love 'minge like Terry Waite's allotment'. Made me laugh like a retard.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 31 Aug 2008, 21:15, Reply)

Good point, BGB
Were it a particularly 'interesting' model, I'd probably be too busy ogling to draw properly!


Edit@Mrs Bin - I think I stole that from Viz many moons ago, when Mr Waite was still current news.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 21:16, Reply)

I don't get it.
Why would Terry Waite have an allotment?
( girlinthehole, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 21:17, Reply)

@BGB
Assuming you're not being sarcastic, the point is that by the time he returned from captivity, his allotment (were he to have had one) would be seriously overgrown.

And hence like an unkempt fanny.

We didn't do much this weekend to be honest.
Mr Bin was at work on Saturday but It was his last day!
He starts he new job as a teaching assistant tomorrow so we spent today getting 'back to school stuff'. One thing he wanted was a new wallet which seem strangely hard to come by.

Am I right in thinking that you went to Dorset?

I certainly did!
Shatesbury to be precise! Also went to Old Wardour Castle (near Tisbury I think), where I'm getting married next year!

( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 31 Aug 2008, 22:52, Reply)

That is a consideration...
But the property down there is so much cheaper (well, for normal things anyway) than it is here in the smoke!

Also, the Mrs. is very close to her family, so it'd be nice for her. But, we're living the life at the moment, and we don't want to give it up too quickly!
( Devil_In_Tights the *real* DiT!, Sun 31 Aug 2008, 22:58, Reply)

Well when you compare the prices to London
then it will be cheaper.

I'm from near Sherborne and trains to London run every 2 hours, and take 2 hours. That is now considered commuter belt by some.

*edit* I'm sure you have thought of this but people who can prove they are local can buy new build houses cheaper there.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Sun 31 Aug 2008, 23:02, Reply)

Sherborne?
Lovely area of the world, I looked at buying a house there not 6 months ago!

(I didn't because it would have cost the mortgage again to fix the place up, and then I got a new job and had to stay up here)

Thankfully, Mrs Devil is a Dorsetian, so that should be ok for us!

But still, I bloody love London. I enjoyed the quiet this weekend, but it's good to be back in the City!

If you find yourself in Sherborne
again go to a coffee shop called Olivers at the top of the high st. Fabulous place.

Evening Becks. Bless you for thinking of me.

The problem with supply is that the cocking council won't have me on the supply list as I am newly qualified.
However I have written to every school in a 10 mile radius telling them that I am available. Just need to wait for the phone to ring!
