@pink
What a charming turn of phrase!

@K2k6 Bash attendees were Clendrix, Wookie, Spakka, Bill, Ethelred and myself.
Personal highlights include wookie telling me he was disappointed by the fact that I'm not as jiggly in real life. He also made me laugh so hard at one point I snorted, which was rather embarrassing.
Spakka also informed me that my hair looks better in real life than it does in photos.

Where was this?
I'd like to attend one, but I don't like to venture into cities, I'm not very 'street'.
(oneinthepink is at your cervix m'lady, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 8:41, Reply)

Yes, I must admit
'hanging out of my ass' is a phrase that should see more use!

So a grand time was had by all. Excellent.

By the way, who's Bill? He seems to turn up at all the bashes but I've never seen him posting here. I've no doubt he's a decent sort, but I can't say I'm familiar with his written ramblings!

Morning all
I'm feeling ever so sketchy this morning. Got the shakes. Had a very good night though and I'm feeling very happy today despite feeling like death.

Saw the younger sister of an ex girlfriend last night. Had a very good catchup and was told "you really made her happy" which made me feel a lot better about myself than I have been lately.

Didn't stop me getting rat arsed though!
(

Captain V, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 8:43, Reply)

Bill should really post more.
As he's a lovely fellow.
I think he's been a member on here for a million years and only posted 9 times.
He is the lurker king!

@pink the bash was in London town last night but they're all over the place!
And morning Vipros!

Edit and good morning captain V as well :)

Go on, give us a post!

@Cap'n V - sounds like you've got good reason to be chipper today.

@Lust - I'm disappointed that you're not as jiggly in real life. I have a mental image, see!

Good morning, all!
I hope everyone is OK today. How did the bash go last night?

Also, I had a thought last night and wanted to share it with you:

Why is it the music you listen to when you're 17 - 21 is the music you'll always have an affinity for no matter what age you are? When I was 17 - 21 my music was indie/britpop. To this day, Pulp and Suede are GODS!

Boss....
Per cup (cup defined as 275ml or thereabouts) tea has less caffeine than coffee.

The whole "tea has more caffeine than coffee" fact is only applicable on a "pound for pound" basis (i.e. 1 pound of tea against 1 pound of coffee). Because less tea (on average) is used in a cup of tea than coffee in a cup of coffee, the coffee comes out with the highest caffeine content.

(The Stig, Fri 19 Sep 2008, 13:53, Reply)

According to Wikipedia
Espresso doesn't really have that much caffeine in it. A serving of espresso contains about 40mg of caffeine, whereas a normal cup of filter coffee contains about 100mg. So Kaol's lunchtime quintuple espresso today is only the equivalent of about 2 cups of normal coffee.

And my can of Red Bull this morning contained about one cup's worth. It shows that I now drink caffeine from time to time, as I remember the first time I had a can of it I had the shakes for ages (not being a coffee or tea drinker).

Caveat - this is from Wikipedia, so it may not be entirely true.

But Kaol's caffeine will be much more concentrated, and entering his system much fast, compared to the more dilute caffeine in ordinary coffee.

So I'm weird, eh?
*frowns*

I don't drink hot drinks. I don't like them. Especially coffee, which stinks. Tea smells quite nice, but tastes rank.

I don't drink Coca Cola either. Maybe I am weird...

Hot drinks are weird.

Morning everyone! (Hey, it's morning somewhere)

It's not fair, my espresso machine is gone! It was on the kitchen counter yesterday & now it's missing. I need my C8H10N4O2 to get over the amazingly strong hangover I have. :-(

I ended up in my local last night after the bash & greatly confused the bouncers when at 5 past twelve I announced to them that "ooooh arrr me laddies, it now be talk like a pirate day. where be all the comely wenches this fine eve"

By 1 AM I had convinced all the bar staff to serve everyone with a pirate accent and the looks they were getting when saying things like "here be your change you landlubber" was priceless.

I need to check out Tomahawk.

Never really heard Mr Bungle or The Melvins.
He did a great ep with the Dillinger Escape Plan (including a cover of 'Come to Daddy')

Fantomas are way too wildly diverse to pin down. Some of it's great, some of it's dross.
Peeping Tom are worth a listen IMO too.

Late lunch
I'm having cold pasta for lunch, I got home at 5:30 this morning and as all the local takeaways were closed I ended up making pasta and eating about 2 mouthfuls before giving up and going to bed.

So I seem to have invented a new hangover cure, cold pasta & toblerone (alothough not at the same time).

I feel better now, yay!

Before you ask, I will be wearing other clothes instead. I have no intention of being nekked in the office, job or no job.

I've gotta say, trip-hop doesn't really appeal...

I love Tomahawk, and the FNM tracks that're on the heavier side, especially on King For A Day.

So, Capt'n Halfy, if I was to buy one Fantomas album this weekend, which would you recommend?
