Happy new week
It's nearly Christmas, but those of you who are still at work (or not) can still come and join me here.

Revising, CU?
Bit of an odd time to be swotting for exams isn't it?

I've got two and a half days of work left, then I'm off until the 6th of Jan. Should be fun.

Morning to you to, Vipros.
(I helped save b3ta! K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 8:28, Reply)
i wish you luck, CU
I was never that organised when it came to studying. My short term memory was good then, so cramming worked better!
(I helped save b3ta! K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 8:34, Reply)
I've never been much good at revising either
but I coped ok.

I'd find that my uni mates would revise for a 9am exam almost all night, whereas I would have stopped by 6pm, then go and smoke bongs until midnight.

I stopped smoking pot for my finals and kicked their arses.

It annoys my gf somewhat because we did the same course, got the same degree (I scored higher percentagewise) and I was stoned every single day for 4 years, except for 2 months at the end

3 days and counting here. Bit quiet at work though so lots of thumb twiddling to do today.
(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 8:43, Reply)

(Himjim died a little more inside on, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 8:46, Reply)
@Vipros
I've never smoked pot, but I used to finish revising in the early evening too, whereas my mates were up till all hours. I'm more of a morning person, so could study better during daylight hours. I just lost concentration in the evening.
(I helped save b3ta! K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 8:47, Reply)
it's odd, because I am completely 100% a night person
yet I can't revise once it's dark, no hope whatsoever.

I'm also the sort of person who procrastinates for a good while, but when the deadline gets close I bust my ass to finish with plenty of time to spare.

I don't like stress.

and good luck with the revision CU.

Yep, I'm very much of the "don't revise until 6pm the night before" school of thought. I put that down to abject laziness on my part!

How was everyone's weekends? No-one nursing any hangovers, injuries (Hi Rubberduck!) or post xmas party fear?

How was the weekend bash?

PJM - thanks for asking. Nothing more serious than a paper cut from xmas present wrapping for me this weekend. I'm quite impressed with myself though - normally wrapping presents would result in at least one amputation.

Looks very nice though! Aria are nice basses. Bet it was pretty reasonable money as well.

It looks pretty much like an EB-2D copy. Not that that's a bad thing, they're amazing basses!

Yeah, it was pretty good,
And I got a bit of money off too.
It sounds amazing though, I should be going to my drummer's tonight, so I can have a proper loud go on it :)

EDIT: Yeah, it does look like one of them, after some swift googling!
Tone-wise, it's so different to my solid-body electric bass, so I've got the difference in sound that I was looking for :D

The roads were good on the way in though. After hitting the national speed limit sign on the way out of Warwick, I didn't see another car the whole of the rest of the way to work. I only had to drop out of warp once, and that was to be able to get around a roundabout.

It certainly goes louder and longer than you'd expect but its pretty gentle- the EL84 is not exactly a powerstation. I have been solid state for years (Electrocompaniet FTW) but this came up at a nice price and I fancied dipping my toe again. I haven't sold the other amp, nor I suspect will I.

Glad you found the PVR- I confess to giving money to Rupert Murdoch for my HD fix but the Humax looks good.

I've been toying with the idea of an all-valve amp recently though....someone told me about some really cheap good ones you can get last week, but I can't remember who or what....

edit: just read some stuff on a forum dissing my amp. it really bugs me when people put stuff down just because it's doesn't fit in their twatty ideals.

The valve in the Valvestate doesn't actually do anything Vipros
It's there purely so they can call it Valvestate!

I usually diss them as well sorry mate! I really don't like solid state break up and distortion unless it's for some sorts of metal... It's a very pale imitation of a JCM etc which only sells cos it has Marshall on the front.

There's plenty of reasonably cheap valve guitar amps, what sort of money you looking to spend? Hunting for an amp for you will give me something to do that's not work :D

@ Leonard, bastard :P I'm Rotel pre/power and B&W, extremely nice for the price I paid but not exactly super high end... judging by your previous posts I'd probably drool over your setup. I have a 1W/side valve amp that I built as a project which is nice but not powerful enough.

Second hand is your friend.
Got the Leben for under a grand and I've been staggered at some of the prices required to shift some really nice items at the moment.

I confess that working in the industry does make things a bit cheaper as well.

Flea powered amps are an art form. I've got a buddy who built a 3w per side single ended circuit which he uses into lowther drivers. It is quite epically loud if he fancies.

feel free to diss, it was the way these chumps were talking that annoyed me ;-)

also, I've never been sure if the valve did anything!

I've mostly played metal until recently too, so the distortion suited me perfectly

I've had the thing for 10 years or more and it's done me proud, but now I'm gigging I want something nicer!

I won't be getting an amp for a while but I'd probably like to spend £500 or 600 when I do get one.

Needs to be powerful enough for small to medium gigs, and preferrably have its own quality distortion. I can't be bothered fucking around with effects pedals

That's what I mean, my whole setup cost under a grand!
Rotel & B&W, and a NAD CD player, and all the cables...

I'd love to buy into some higher end stuff but this is pretty decent for what I use it for. Certainly better than x amount of shit plastic midi systems.

I do have a pair of Adam P22As as well though, which I use for monitoring.

BTW - do you work for or have any associations with any manufacturers or are you strictly retail? Got something you may be interested in if the former...

It's fine for my use thus far, goes plenty loud enough.
Fucking pain in the arse to haul around though.

Next on my "to get" list is a new P.A. The one I've got is borrowed from work, and it's weedy as hell. It's turned up nearly full, but I have to really belt out the vocals to make 'em heard, which ruins any subtlety.

Vipros
A 10-20W will probably be alright, particularly if you want distorted tones.

Valve amps distort by overdriving the valves, so if you have too powerful a one it will get to ear-bleeding volume long before it distorts (you'll know what I mean if you've ever used or seen anyone playing a Fender Twin)

You won't get full on metal distortion but you will get that lovely bluesy valve break up that can't be achieved with solid state.

A second hand Cornell Romany would probably be in your budget, but that would rely on someone wanting to sell theirs... they're insanely good amps.

Me and my boobs
are fine thank you.

I've heard that god awful x factor song 5 times already today though which is somewhat distressing.

Always good to know

I can feel the stench rising, so I'm heading back to work

Well, I didn't sleep last night,
So gentle entertainment would be appreciated.
Or someone to fall asleep on, haha!

*waves*
Hi becky!

EDIT: Bye becky... Haha!

As much fun as I'm sure it would be to sleep with you, I think you might squish me if you fell asleep on me.

Hmm...
Fair point :p

*drinks coffee*

I just found out that I may well be here 'til eight tonight :|

If you fancy it you could feign a family emergency and I could pick you up on my way home from work (via a big detour =p)
(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 15:35, Reply)
Nice idea V!
Except for one small problem...
*gazzes you*
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 15:38, Reply)
Afternoon all
After a morning of coffee with friends, and then helping a friend with his christmas shopping, I've finally made it home. Woot.

Kaol, I can also see several problems with V's plan. Actually, just one main problem.

Afternoon PoD!
Up to anything exciting the rest of today?
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 15:45, Reply)
The overseer
actually just made me laugh quite a bit.
She has a new chair and was adjusting the height so said quite loudly "ohhh I bet I look like a spastic adjusting my wheelchair!" Before realising she shouldn't have said it.

Then she showed me the picture on her fag packet and exclaimed "It looks like a droopy cock!" She then laughed before saying "the word cock makes me laugh. Cock, cock cock!"

She must be filled with christmas cheer.
(I helped save b3ta! wanderlust, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 15:51, Reply)
Is she filled with
salty Christmas cheer?

(Sorry, my mind is in the gutter [more than usualy] today)

@Captain V
I really wouldn't know.

I don't sit that close to her.
(I helped save b3ta! wanderlust, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 15:55, Reply)
V...
You want some of my Christmas cheer?

Actually, I'm afraid it might be "Christmas Bitterness".
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 15:55, Reply)
Hullo again!
I am back from the Christmas lunch. Turkey and pigs-in-blankets agogo!

I feel very sleepy now! *zzzzzzzzz*

Time to recycle my now favourite phrase
"I'm so bitter that, when taking a bite out of me, even a lemon would wince"

It's not as eloquent as I remember it but it is true.
(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 15:57, Reply)
I love the fact that Bill
Said he's become addicted to using my phrase "The Power Of ScienceTM".
I'd forgotten that I'd ever said it in the first place!
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 15:59, Reply)
Oh yea!
That is a great little phrase. It's probably the closest thing I'll ever have to a faith.
(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:04, Reply)
I just
love Bill.
(I helped save b3ta! wanderlust, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:04, Reply)
I love that within moments of turning up on Saturday
I had you attached to my head.
(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:05, Reply)
Captain V
That's because I love having your head near my mouth.
(I helped save b3ta! wanderlust, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:06, Reply)
Haha!
By "you" do you mean both of us?
Or did you not notice my stealthy hand?
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:07, Reply)
Nope I didn't notice
*sads*

When it comes to me...
You're not very observant, are you?
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:15, Reply)
Yo Lusty
What are you up to on Christmas eve?
(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:17, Reply)
@Captain V
I'm working :(
But then I'm going to get drunk with my brothers me thinks.
Why?
(I helped save b3ta! wanderlust, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:26, Reply)
I was deliberately
Not observing Kaol =p
(I helped save b3ta! Captain V, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:27, Reply)
So
what's everyone been up to this afternoon then?

*scans thread*

Oh. OK. Same old misbehaviour. Very good.

Hey Kaol
I'm off out tonight for a Christmas dinner at a friends house. Am driving though, so no cider, champagne, or whatever for me tonight :(
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:33, Reply)
*stops being mean*
Sounds good PoD!
Apart from the not-drinking, I mean.
I've got work-drinks in a while, but I might be driving tonight, so... *shrugs*
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:41, Reply)
Can you drink again now?
I thought you couldn't at the current moment.

It should be good, but I have to get dressed up. I still don't particularly getting dressed up, but at least there shall be lots of food.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:50, Reply)
Eh?
I can drink, but I don't seem to be able to get drunk most nights.
Is that what you mean?
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:52, Reply)
Makes sense now
When you said you couldn't get drunk, I presumed you weren't drinking. Meh. Feel insulted if you wish.

I'm glad I don't have to bother with things like work drinks. I believe I would find it rather dull.
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:53, Reply)
Yeah, it's dull as hell!
I just wanna go and play my new bass instead!

No insult taken :p
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 16:55, Reply)
Maybe Captain Health and Safety could make it more exciting
I really want to play the piano, but I'm having to make do with my guitar just now. Such a step down, it's a shame.

Are you working right up until Christmas, or off after today?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 17:01, Reply)
Aaaaarrrrggggghhhhh
My mind has gone. I've just spent the day watching kids movies. My niece didn't want to make stuff in the end, thank god!

I need some grown up stuff to get me back to normal!

HEEEEEELP

We've watched The Borrowers, Treasure Planet, and The Ant Bully.

I've managed to get Evolution onm but I don't think it'll last.

Get out grown-ups. Out I say!

Today is my last day, s'all good, I guess.

I'm afraid that Capt'n H&S has a massive dislike for all the people he works with. And they don't talk to him because he shouts at them at lot, and calls them stupid.
(I helped save b3ta! Cawl, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 17:06, Reply)
I call lots of people at uni stupid
Mostly because they are. They probably all hate me. Oh well.

So sitting in the corner/your office listening to rock music then instead of mingling?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 17:09, Reply)
@Dok
I haven't seen any of those.
I was hoping you'd been watching Enchanted as it's the bestest film.
I was listening to the soundtrack on my way to work this morning.

'lo PoD, I'm flittering about between here and updating spreadsheets. Fun!
(I helped save b3ta! wanderlust, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 17:09, Reply)
I don't want to be a Grown Up
But sometime I have to be. I know, it sucks.

I need help!

EDIT Lusty, never seen that, not one for kids movies myself, they give me brain ache!

A happy Christmas to you too Kaol
Why are you still working 'lusty? You should be away home relaxing.

And poor Dok, having to put up with such stuff.

The only days I get off are christmas and boxing day. I've also got to work new years eve.
:(

Oh well, I'm only here for a few more weeks then I'm free to actually have a life!
(I helped save b3ta! wanderlust, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 17:19, Reply)
Well in that case...
Why haven't you at least gone home for the day?
(PenguinOfDeath is Scottish, and most likely angry, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 17:23, Reply)
Kaol
If I don't hear from you have a good one.

Eveybody else who is still at work, ypu have my permission to go home. If anybody says anything tell them it's Doktors orders!
(Herr Doktor Lemminge Is bored, so cheer me up!, Mon 22 Dec 2008, 17:26, Reply)
I'm not allowed to leave until 6.
Only half hour to go now so it's not so bad.

I just know that if I tried to sneak out before then that my boss would come down and find that I'd fucked off and I'd get in a lot of trouble.

I've been getting in quite a bit of trouble recently as it is so it's not worth the risk.
