But surely
If you make cake that means more cake for you?

too much cake
Then i'd eat it all. and i'm fat enough as it is without whole cakes... :)
(weekirst23 Is broken! Silly ice. Silly High heels!, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 20:42, Reply)

Whole cakes would be rather fattening.....
Maybe make tiny cakes? Or one big cake and save it for ages?

hmmm....
i need some kind of cake sharing network :)
i work in a shop with like one other person a day... -who eats one little cake at a time I ask you?
(weekirst23 Is broken! Silly ice. Silly High heels!, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:05, Reply)

Okay, fair enough
One tiny cake at a time seems a bit daft. You know, if you had cake spare, you could always donate it to a good cause? Like me? :D

HELLO
I'm listening to country music and am thinking about my next tattoo and the beach and how I'd really love a sprite right now
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 20:36, Reply)

tattoo? got any designs in mind?
or are you just gonna give the tattooist a hundred and fifty bucks and tell him/her to go mental?


and where's that pesky Maladicta and her not-so-pesky Actual Rainbow Cupcakes?
I demand nommage!

I'm going for a quote down the middle of my back most likely
with this font www.dafont.com/dirty-and-classic.font
Maybe saying
'I have been given the reputation of deliberate heartlessness, how undeserved, I alone can appreciate'

ooooooooorrrrrrrrrrr
'Every wave comes in, then retreats. Every day promises, then turns its back and slips away. Every joy has a little tease in it, a give and a take, and leaves a wake of longing'

or maybe I'll decide both of them are incredibly lame and not get anything at all
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 20:58, Reply)

both of them +I re +m

I realy like the second one
Though it's a little meloncholy I guess. Still, meloncholy is good sometimes. Is it from somewhere?
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:03, Reply)

I saw it on some silly myspace graphic type thing but it's from a book
the first paragraph goes like this "At the beach, life is different. A day moves not from hour to hour but leaps from mood to moment. We go with the currents, plan around the tides, follow the sun. We measure happiness by nothing we can hold... nothing we can catch. Everywhere…Life is jumping and elusive and momentously momentary. We want to [stretch] the days, distill the memories, make them last. At the same time, we know that the beauty is in the evanescence. Every wave comes in, then retreats. Every day promises, then turns its back and slips away. Every joy has a little tease in it, a give and a take, and leaves a wake of longing."

this is the book www.booksamillion.com/product/9780945582731?id=4373024154731

Bugger me, that would be a WHOLE LOTTA INK!
i went for a very simple yet complex and deceptive design...
some people can see it, some cannot.
i can say no more on that subject, lest i give the game away...
i think Spazzmo has seen it, but i'm not sure...

Ooh, just what country music exactly?

I'm not up-to-date with New Country.
I'm still in 90s CMT oblivion with Dwight, Shelby and all that.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:03, Reply)

that's not entirely new, it's a few years old
but I'm down with Brooks and Dunn and George Strait (phwoooarr)
( Lisette von Falcon, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:55, Reply)

I've been listening to uncle Dwight.
Love him.

Hello?
I was promised cake? I've been working today, I deserve cake!
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 20:36, Reply)

I have not been to work but I'd still like some cake
with butter cream. Hard butter cream.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 20:48, Reply)

They're not rainbow cupcakes
unfortunately, just regular type. I'm still here on my phone, but my flatmate booted me off the PC to apply for a job on high speed rail. Yay!
( Maladicta, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 20:51, Reply)

don't worry about the colour!
i'm deffo gonna make some of those cakes this very weekend!
to celebrate my bike passing it's MOT after 4 1/2 yrs, un-loved, laid up in firstly a cold and windy ex-aircraft hangar and then a damp and scarey (seriously) genuine "underneath the arches" lock-up.
measured it today... 7.5M wide, 11M long and arched 4.8M high. a whole lotta space for £115 pcm ;-)
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:09, Reply)

Oh, and by the way...
Good evening Mal, Fredz, Weekirst and last (but no means least!) Kristine ;-)
How we all doing this fine evening?
today i dropped my bike off at the MOT station and bunged the guy £50 to give it a proper clean and charge the battery before they test it. i'm servicing it with my biker-guru pal Mr Strange tomorrow evening. the mechanic, Derek even gave me an oil-filter for nought, one he'd bought for his wife's bike (a red Hornet 600, mine's silver) 18 months ago before she changed it for an R6. it's been sitting on the workshop shelf gathering dust...he said he was glad to be shot of it.
and then, after a few hours of dotting'n'dabbing we nipped over to the unit and turned 3 (very awkward with either of the motorbikes and almost impossible with the side-car) steps into concrete ramps. a very succesful day's work. tired now but have had spicey pimped-up pizza and a couple of B&C's.
also, perhaps on a "too much information" note, had a massive snog with the mrs just before...so it looks like i may just disappear at some point...


edit: and Hi! Roota Dude! ;-)
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 20:58, Reply)

Yo!
You has bike and snog. You must be very happy. I wish I had bike and snog right now :-)
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:05, Reply)

I'd settle for
a snog
(weekirst23 Is broken! Silly ice. Silly High heels!, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:07, Reply)

But a snog on or in the general vicinity of a bike...
Surely better?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:11, Reply)

Eh, same here.
Been so long I'm wondering wether I can remember how it's supposed to work!
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:13, Reply)

i have 2 bikes! but only one snog at the moment...
i will get more snogs later!
2nd bike is a 1965 KMZ (Kiev Motor Zavod) K750 Combination. just think German motorbike and sidecar from the movies and it's a Russian copy of that very same 1942 BMW 750 flat-twin.
but it doesn't run at the moment which is why i need to get the unit sorted so i can have workshop space with a bench big and heavy 'nough to handle 300kg of Russian Iron.
last night these guys (you included? i can't remember) were suggesting i host subterranian raves. that would SO stop me getting any bike-fettling done!

Hey there.
SOunds like a hectic day! Best kind I reckon. Having sod all to do isn't fun after a while - much better to keep occupied.
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:12, Reply)

Yes.
I took the day off, intending to catch up on stuff. All I've done is eat and watch old movies. I feel a bit guilty, but I'll just put it down as a mental health day. Tomorrow I promise to internet about, and find a new career.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:15, Reply)

everything in balance is the ideal, no?
not too much work, not too much rest, not too much play.
my wife's Polish and they tend to reckon 8hrs of each per day. sounds nice.
but actually keeping it balanced really does keep up the productivity, the quality of sleep and the depth of the fun.
which is what it's about?
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:18, Reply)

Ahh yeah.
Sounds like you need to get a schedule or something. Nothing worse than boredom. For some reason when you have nothing to do, you don't do things you could do. I'ts only recently now I'm busy that i've started to sort out things that should have been done ages ago. Weird that.
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:19, Reply)

can't remember who said it, but...
"if you want something doing then give it to a busy person."

trudat, trudat.
aye.
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:22, Reply)

Woah, B69 is like Confucius tonight!
8 hours of each, and give everything to someone busy. Got it.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:33, Reply)

in my moments of clarity i'm a fucking superstar!!! kinda like a LoCal TD, if you know him?
the rest of the time i'm just a guy, you know?
who's pals call Big Gay Al, after the South Park character. i'm pretty big, i guess, and i can be quite gay but not in an actually gay-way. nowt against all that muffin-dodgin' action, mind. it's just i'm lovin' the muffin is all!
LOL
a Plumber who has studied Philosophy, that's all the world needs...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:40, Reply)

by the way, i've been meaning to ask...
not that i'm seeking attention or validation...
but...
whadya reckon to my new signature?
made me snorfle when i thought of it...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:43, Reply)

It is DEFINITELY one fluffier. Ew. Haha.
I studied philosophy. I think I'd have been better learning to be a plumber. My flat's waterworks are fucked, and Spinoza can't help me with that now can he?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:49, Reply)

maybe not Spinoza...
but definitely Camus.
he played in goal, must have been good with his hands...
fnaar, fnaar etc.

actually, there's an awful lot to be said for being a Plumber. i reckon, for all sorts of reasons, that it's the best of the trades. not least for the public health aspect, after all where would we be without Plumbers? up to our knees in shit is where!
LOL
that's the drawback...getting home and into the shower and realising you have another person's shit under your fingernails! a bit grim...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:54, Reply)

Wow.
That must realy put you off chewing your nails!
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 21:55, Reply)

you would think so...
but anyway folks, my good lady is groaning expectantly so i fear that i must away and leave you all for greener pastures...
so to speak...
and remember...

"it ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it!"

see you all next time

(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:02, Reply)

Seeya Plumbus!
Dunno bout you Fredz, but I've learnt something!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:05, Reply)

one last thing...
towards the end of his life Einstein would often comment that he would all-in-all have rather have been a Plumber.

and another, but you probably know this already...
the word Plumber comes from the Latin Plumbum meaning Lead, hence Pb the chemical symbol. so next time someone tells you they are a Plumber ask them if they can work Lead...

edit: that's all folks! over and out ;-)
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:10, Reply)

Yep.
Been an all round educational HSH. Tea, cake, philosophy and plumbing. Some of the cornerstones of civilisation!

My toilet is still broken though...
Flush mechanism hanging on by a keyring...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:22, Reply)

Ahhh....
That does suck actualy. Is there no landlord or whatever you can go to? Anyway, I'd better get to bed. Got a 12 1/2 hour shift with an 8:15 start tomorrow. Not looking forward to it!
(Fredz A graveyard of hopes, a dump of ambition, Tue 14 Jul 2009, 22:24, Reply)

Ouch.
Go on, get to bed then. Landlord keeps promising to fix it but I think he's waiting until the keyring gives way and my bathroom turns into Tenko... Night!
