Evening Blaireuxes
Wasn't at work today, so spent the day sleeping and cycling.

And congrats for keeping up the saucelessnes.

I will have loads of drinks for you at the weekend, mmmkay?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:26, Reply)

Evening Kristine.
If you want another excuse to have loads of drinks, have some for the drinks I'll be missing on Friday.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:32, Reply)

I don't need an excuse, since when do you need an excuse to drink booze?
What will you be doing friday?
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:33, Reply)

It's not an excuse
We've just decided you get to have all the drinks that nobody else is drinking.

I'm taking tomorrow off work, and therefore won't be out with my workmates. Still haven't decided what I'm doing with the day or night yet.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:36, Reply)

so you're taking off tomorrow, but you're not sure what you'll be doing that will keep you from drinking?
*confuddled*
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:39, Reply)

You'll be drinking all my drinks
along with b69's drinks.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:45, Reply)

how about I just drink my drinks and you can drink your own

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:49, Reply)

How about you get drunk on behalf of everyone else?

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:51, Reply)

this circle here, it's never ending

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 19:57, Reply)

The circle has been unravelled
and it's now a hosepipe that stretches from me and b69's pubs all the way across the Atlantic.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:03, Reply)

Well let me break it then.
I have the finances, lack of commitments and inclination to get as pissed as a little beetle tomorrow night.

Regrettably it appears that my drinking band of brothers are all otherwise engaged.

As we know, B3TA closes on Friday evenings, so what must I do?

Befriend random strangers in the local would seem to be the best option.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:07, Reply)

Good timing
I was just getting worried that Maladicta's contribution might just be the one that bursts Kristine, so you can tap into the transatlantic alcohol pipeline to ease Kristine's load.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:13, Reply)

best way to go, I met some great people that way
people alchies
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:14, Reply)

That works in the US
Although a UK accent opens doors in the US in most bars, especially out of the touristy bits.

Doesn't always work here though.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:31, Reply)

I clearly replied to the wrong post here
yikes

but yes, having an accent would most likely open loads of doors here, a girl I knew in highschool went to france after graduation and people made fun of her accent
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:02, Reply)

Back in the States, they just luvv'd my accent - especially in the Deep South.

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:10, Reply)

In certain places
But most spectacularly Colorado Springs, CO., my accent opened rather more than just doors.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:13, Reply)

loads of trousers?

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:17, Reply)

And then the Americans refer to them as pants
and the British say I can open the pants as well.

Ah well, at least if us Brits do flash ourselves, we can blame it on a transatlantic misunderstanding.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:23, Reply)

pffffffft
I've never heard such a ridiculous argument as "Pants v Trousers" or "Pants v Underwear"
( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:26, Reply)

It's all a load of pants anyway
But I like the "name the next stage of clothing after the previous" technique as an excuse to all get naked.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:29, Reply)

Frankly
Upon getting to that point semantics tend to be the last thing on my mind.

No thank you.
I have plenty of trousers.

How pissed
do little beetles get then?
( Maladicta, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:34, Reply)

Little Beetles everywhere
Scurry about their little beetle nests, saying "we'll get as pissed as a TD tonight."

I r tired, mostly.
And everyone at work is pregnant, impregnating their wives or on maternity leave. I hate kids and I'm starting to feel left out...

Your ovaries are clanging together
I know this feeling

fear not, this too shall pass

Sounds good to me
as long as they don't try to put me back on the pill. Mal does not like the pill.
( Maladicta, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:27, Reply)

the pill makes me :(

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:30, Reply)

Same as me.
That's why I stopped taking it - being awake at 3am crying with no idea why is not conducive to mental harmony... don't EVER take Dianette, it's evil.

it makes me double over in cramps and makes me omgbleed for three weeks at a time

( Lisette von Falcon, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:02, Reply)

The blue pill or the red pill?

( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:36, Reply)

Whichever one stops you getting pregnant.
Or, crush both and snort.
( Maladicta, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:36, Reply)

Take the red pill and transfer yourself into an alternate reality
Transferring oneself into an alternate reality is a fantastic method of contraception.

Moulin Rouge
Episode 1 of Kröd Mandöon from fecking ages ago
InuYasha (plus a couple of episodes from the new series that Flatmate has already seen)
Wall-E
Bean
rather a lot of Pokémon

more offline, less online. that is the answer!
you reminded me that i have wall-e too! and also a short film from which district 9 came.

i also have a growing pile of books to read...
( blaireau69 , the Cumbrian Travis Bickle., Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:22, Reply)

I haven't even started on the books.
Bought all of LOTR and The Hobbit off Amazon last week and they're still in the presentation box...

Don't waste your time then.
Sell them and buy something readable and entertaining.

Once you get past Fellowship it's plain sailing.
I've read them loads of times but they were my father's copies and he's a) in Wales and b) not speaking to me, so I wanted my own.

Anything else you can recommend, good sir?
( Maladicta, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 21:45, Reply)

I just don't drink any more.
I've had my week's quota with work on Monday and got stealth rickrolled in a bar. No moar alcomahol for me for the time being.
( Maladicta, Thu 8 Oct 2009, 20:02, Reply)

Good timing
Kristine has volunteered to drink all the alcohols we're not drinking. I'm sure she can cope with a third person not drinking.
