Evening!


So we got this Acorn Electron from Freecycle the otherday, and we are busy trying to load games.

Now you know how Wagon Wheels look smaller but they are not, it's just that you are bigger? Well I thought that the same was true of old computer software. You remember, you would put something on to load and it would be finished the next day. Well, it's not the case, they really do take a life time.

What else is how you remember?

In other news, since my bike was overhauled, my morning commute to work is now down to about 22 minutes.

Hey PoD
I'm looking at doing chemistry (again...).

I've been looking at the guardian lists only to end up with very mixed feelings although I'm not entirely sure why - I've got it in my head that I'll either go to Scotland (so St. Andrews or Edinburgh) or try to bugger off to America.

St. Andrews is top for chemistry according to the guardian and 11th in the times =/

I've also got no idea what the 5A 5B 4A etc. rating for research mean. Grrrrr.

I've no idea how long this idea will last anyway so I'm not sure why I'm fretting about it. Tomorrow I'll have decided that I simply must learn to ride a unicycle before I leave for Australia to save koala bears...

Jolly Ranchers
are everywhere over here- my kids used to get bottles of seltzer water and drop one in to make their own soda.

The memory I have as a small child was that the hill in back of my parents' house in Utica was fucking HUGE, the ultimate sledding hill, about fifty feet of drop over a couple hundred feet- about a 25% grade overall, steep at first and then leveling out toward the bottom. Riding a bike down that hill was tantamount to suicide as you'd be going at expressway speeds by the end of it across grass and would wipe out and wind up doing a face plant into the back of the Methodist church.

I went back there a few years ago and looked at that hill through the eyes of an adult, and thought about the concept of riding a bike down it now.

Far more fucking scary now than it ever was back then. If anything I had remembered the hill as being smaller than it is.

(Zapiola zip-zap-zop, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 19:56, Reply)

For that matter
once in the late 70s a friend of mine and I rode our bikes from our little home village up to the other end of our chain of lakes and back. Coming back it was a couple of miles of fairly steep uphill road, and then about a half mile out of town it dropped back down again. I was going about 50 to 60 mph by the time I reached the bottom.

I reiterate: it was the 1970s. Crappy steel frame 10 speed- a Royce Union, as I recall. No helmet. Jeans and a tee shirt. Narrow road with trees overhanging it that are known to drop sticks on the pavement. Deer and chipmunks all around us in the woods, both of whom are known to dart out into the road at any moment. Hitting a chipmunk at that speed would have gone as badly for me as for the chipmunk, as it would have probably have been slippery.

Driving that route now in a car, I think back on that and shudder.

Waking up in odd places
When I was at university I was woken up by somebody placing a traffic cone in front of me. I happened to be asleep, in a puddle, on the roof of the ground floor of a block of flats that I had no access to!

Fortunately one of the people who woke me up knew me so I climbed back onto the first floor balcony (which must have been where I got on the roof from) and then slept on the floor in her flat.

I'm pleased to say I don't drink so much anymore.

used to live in a small village just outside York, there was a hill next to a golf course. One winter my old man put me on a sled at the top and pushed me down... I ended up scooting down a hill, across the course and ended up in the freezing cold pond.

by saying you had previously carried out a control experiment by not saying anything and this one was to see the effect of conditioning on subjects :p

Do I have to allocate a priority hugging order, or can I simply give and accept hugs, ahem, willy nilly?

You're in for a special treat TGB, I was told today that I give good hugs.

However I am a bit of a cuddleslut so while special it's not exclusive ;-)

It's evening time, and I've been exploring the wonders of many fantastic shiny light emitting products.

Are you doing well Badger? I didn't actually see anything you said earlier for all the hugging and then me leaving.

Hey becks
I hate rambly phone calls. Actually, I hate most phone calls. I think I'm becoming more awkward at talking to people in general, which isn't hugely helpful.

How are you today Becks?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:13, Reply)

It just annoys me
as he'll only get to the point I say I've got to go.

I'm ok thanks PoD, bit tired from last night and no longer drunk, but feeling ok :) How you doing?

Edit: Kaol, where's tonight's comic?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:17, Reply)

A good birthday night then?
I'm not bad, but been doing loads of work this week, a trend that shall be continuing for the forseeable future.

Also, my wrist seems to be becoming more ruined than ever, which isn't good. It's sore just now when I'm just sitting doing nothing :(
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:19, Reply)

I'm the opposite
I've been slacking off majorly this week. Still, that's the point of a week off I guess. I HAVE to do stuff tomorrow though, like buy a new freeview box as the remote for mine has died, go food shopping and do boring admin type stuff for work that I've been putting off. Sorry your wrist is shit again, have you been back to the docs about it?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:21, Reply)

Got to love a week off
I'm going to hopefully get a few days off during the christmas holidays, but I think that's going to be about it.

Not been back to the doctors since the summer, when they gave me the useless anti-inflammitories, which did no good and gave me a store stomach. Grr.

I could go back again, but they would just tell me exactly the same thing again: "Try and rest it, and take these." Not helpful.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:24, Reply)

Don't rush me!
:p

All sorted :D
( Cawl, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:26, Reply)

Well
did you try resting it? There are more that one type of anti inflammatory you know, you might just be allergic to that one. Hope it's better soon.

Edit: First ,)
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:26, Reply)

Nice Kaol
Like it.

I caught up on the ones I'd missed too. Turns out I'd only read the first one...
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:29, Reply)

You'd missed a month of them?
*rolls eyes*
( Cawl, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:30, Reply)

Er, yes, I would appear to have Kaol
*second to reply to the cartoon, slightly mocking first reply*

I tried resting it, but working in a coffee shop, and being bassist in a ceilidh band makes it hard. And now I'm back at uni, it's near impossible.

And I've tried 2 types already. Both useless. Might go back again over Christmas and see what they can do.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:32, Reply)

Have you tried
Putting ice on it, when it's bad?
( Cawl, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:33, Reply)

Yeah, I'd suggest
alternating hot and cold compresses when it gets bad.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:34, Reply)

Or not wanking as much.
*shrugs*
( Cawl, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:35, Reply)

I've not, no
I generally try and keep it warm, as it seems to hurt slightly less when on warm mornings than cold ones.

edit - I need to try and get some hot and cold compresses. Might stop in Boots on the way home tomorrow.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:35, Reply)

We have awesome ones at work
that you can freeze and put in the microwave depending on how you want to use them. You can probably pick them up in boots.

I've seen those before
The one I saw smelt really bad when heated.

You also can't quickly alternate very easily with one of those.

It was indeed Kaol. I unfortunately don't find this stupid thing amusing at all. Stupid wrist.

*wanders off grumbling*
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:40, Reply)

but yeah, stop wanking so much ,)

Ours smell like popcorn as they were left in the microwave too long once.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 26 Nov 2008, 23:44, Reply)

Anyway, onto happier subjects
As I feel this wrist thing is going to stay with me for a long time.

Anyone up to anything fun the rest of the week? Are you going to be recording any stuff any time soon Kaol?
