Lots of mind bleach (and possibly weapons) needed!
Sometimes the scary girl from one of the offices downstairs tries to chat me up. I try and ignore her/run away, because her chatting up tactics consist of talking about manga, live action role play with swords and shit bands I've never heard of. She's also not, erm, easy on the eye.

She's just come into my office (I was hoping the force field on the door would keep such apparitions out) and given me a Christmas card. It is Gothic black (of course), signed with lots of kisses and includes HER MYSPACE ADDRESS AND A PHOTO OF HER!!!

If it wasn't nearly time to go home I'd be locking myself in the server room to hide, I'm telling you. *shudders*

Edit: I've just checked with a few other people and they're averaging about half the amount of kisses in their card, and no Myspace details or photo. I'm feeling very, very afraid...

Good luck with the karting V - I love it but I'm not that good at it for a couple of reasons:

1) I get WAY too competitive and end up overcooking it on a corner big-style while trying to outbrake someone.

2) I'm not exactly the slightest of chaps, meaning my power/weight ratio is quite poor. This massively hurts acceleration out of corners.

You want to go and see a nice, wholesome act. Someone who can hold a tune and won't frighten the children.

George Michael comes to mind. He was such a nice boy in his Wham days, with his nice hair and nice friend that pretended to play the bass.

Personally I don't believe all that bent as a nine bob note caught trying to get a cop to suck him off nonense. It was just a phase.

He's married and has three grandchildren now, you know. Oh yes.

This morning, I got up. All seemed to go well. Had breakfast, checked to see if my washing had dried, wrote a few sentences for my latest QOTW entry, and finally got round to fixing the zip on my bag.

I had left just enough time to get to work on time, so I exited my flat and looked where my bike should be ... and ... emptiness. No bike to be seen. At first, I wondered if I had left it elsewhere, but then, I saw the lock. On closer inspection, it had been cut clean through. Some fucker's nicked my bike!!! AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Left with no bike, I had no choice but to take the bus. At least I learned that if I can see the bus at the previous bus-stop, if I jog, I can make it to the next bus-stop on time, but the bus spent ages halfway along the route waiting for the replacement driver to turn up. Thankfully, nobody seemed to mind I was late for work.

Unfortunately, I never took out any insurance.

When I moved in, my landlady had a hook specially built that I could tie my bike to. She assured me it would be safe there.

The worse thing is that just 3 weeks ago, I took it into the bike shop to get my brakes and front-gear fixed. Thank god I didn't splash out on the full overhaul!

I've still got my sliced through lock. Is it worth using it for fingerprints/DNA?

What do we win if we correctly guess what the ransom will be.

Well yes
Some people have decided that the TV is better company than us and went away, but I'm still here!
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:07, Reply)

outrageous!
I spend more time watching my fire than watching tv these days. much more interesting.

I came to the conclusion the other day that I pretty much can't bear to watch stuff that doesn't engage the brain, so I pretty much can't watch most things on these days...
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:09, Reply)

I think
the last thing I watched on TV was Dexter, and that was ages ago!

I do watch a lot of films though.
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:12, Reply)

I watch quite a few films
and almost no TV at all. I'd rather read a book and listen to music.

My sister comes in from work at 5.30, and manages to find continuous soaps until about 10.00. I sometimes go and try and read my book in that room to be a bit more sociable, but I can feel my brain wasting away just being in the same room as Neighbours, even if I'm not watching it!

I watch quite a lot of films
that has tailed off somewhat recently however.

as I said, it's mostly comedy for me, in the form of Scrubs, How I met your mother, QI and Mock the week

One reason I prefer computer games to TV
is that computer games are active whereas TV is passive.

that's a good point. and I couldn't agree more.

sadly my computer is lacking somewhat in its capabilities, and my PS2 hasn't been unpacked since I moved to this house over a year ago...

I never know what games to get anyway, except for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and that's no fun anymore because I'm supernaturally good at it
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:19, Reply)

I'm bored to death of my PS2
Think I'm gonna treat myself to an Xbox with the next pay cheque though (I have been saying that for 3 months now, then keep spending the money on other things)

So many good games out, new Prince of Persia as well!

I tend to watch Sci-fi and Horror myself, with the odd bit of RL crime stuff.m but I've not watched anything in about two weeks!

Been reading too much!

Get American Wasteland if you like Pro Skater... the single player storyline is hilarious, and you get to ride BMX and do parkour as well!
(Son of Sam-i-am We're all as mad as hatters here, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:22, Reply)

I noticed that the new Prince of Persia game is out soon
I loved the previous 3. Could never manage to beat the bastard at the end of the last 2 though...

annoying!

I wonder if the new one will work on my PC...

what have you been reading Dok?

I'm on my two-yearly reading of Lord of the Rings at the moment. Unfortunately I'm labouring in one of the dull bits so my attention has wandered slightly...

edit: I think American Wasteland was the last one I had for the PS2. Good fun, but just too easy!

Evening Again Chappies!
I feel slightly recovered from the lurgey, enough that I'm sat in bed with tea and fags.

Been working on some writing of a non-B3ta ilk, which I've caught up with, so here I am.

Who's for hugs?
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:25, Reply)

I usually play games on my PC
I'm a fan of god-games, stratergy games, and puzzle games. Recent examples of my faves include Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic and OpenTTD

Haven't had a console since the PS1, but tomorrow, I'm treating myself to a PSP.

EDIT: Evenin' Beek
Yay! Hugs!

Been readinng a lot of the Ian M Banks stuff, just recently got into him and I like it, also I've done my yearly flu catching stint by reading The Stand, and reafirmed my hatred of clowns by reading It.

I've never finished Lord of the Rings, it's too long winded for me!

Yay Boss *hugs*
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:27, Reply)

Iain M Banks is my amony my very favourite authors
have you read his non-sci-fi stuff?

Lord of the Rings is superb for about a book and a half and then unfortunately the pace slows right down.

Right, I'm off for a bifter

have a good evening chaps
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:31, Reply)

Yeah, I've read The Wasp Factory and Whit of Iain Banks' non-sci fi stuff.

He's very good.
( Boss Keloid Got your mother's maiden name tattooed on my arm, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:33, Reply)

I tried
his non sci fi stuff but couldn't get into it.

I'll have to give it anotther try at some point!
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 21:36, Reply)

I've read the Wasp Factory and The Bridge recently
Both really good books, as with all his stuff (apart from maybe Dead Air, although it's alright). Not as keen on the Iain M Banks stuff actually.

Vipros - it's the game I most want at the moment, definitely! Completed all three on the PS2 so have been waiting for this for a while...

I've never been much into PC gaming (well, not since the original Prince of Persia!) as I can't be arsed to have to keep buying new graphics cards to keep up, and games are some of the most buggy software you can find, especially with SecuROM & that sort of bullshit. Easier and less hassle to stick to consoles IMO

I'm not much of a gamer at all; have a blast on the Wii on occasion but that's about it.

You were right about Shore Leave, it's a great track!

I liked the Wii when I first tried it
but the novelty wore off after about 20 minutes.

Have been toying with the idea of getting one to see if there's any better games I haven't tried, but in general I prefer my gaming experience to be sat on the sofa with a joint in my mouth and an easily accessible beer, the prancing round of a Wii is a bit much like exercise for me.

Shore Leave has been going round my head for days now, even though I'm listening to the Mars Volta pretty loud at the moment I can still hear Tom Waits singing in my head, strange!

Make sure the only post-1970 album you go near is Blood on the Tracks. Think of the children!

Blood on the tracks is ace
I do tend to like indivudal tracks after that. Even some of his God-period stuff is decent.

Oooh, Shelter From the Storm! Brilliant!

To be fair, if you look back over the evening threads, I kill most of 'em.

I'm drinking whisky as well (not whiskey), cheers! *raises glass*

Convince it that it is in fact, legal and legit
When it clearly isn't. Mind you, got it working now. Just a question of finding the right file.

Admittedly I've only got CS2 at home, has it got any more difficult since then? I've got CS4 in work (paid for, not by me) and much prefer it, not that I have any skills in using it...
(Son of Sam-i-am We're all as mad as hatters here, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 23:25, Reply)

I use CS2
Because I got it for free.
And I'd say I'm pretty "Photoshop-competent".

So... Yeah, CS2 has always done all the things that I need it to. But I'd upgrade given the chance.
( Cawl, Tue 16 Dec 2008, 23:38, Reply)

Evening all
I run cs2 on my pc, and cs3 on my mac. I do like cs2 though, does everything I need it to.

And from what I hear, cs4 isn't that much better than cs3, just has some unnecessary extra tools.

Are we all well here tonight?
