Morning
had a pretty vivid dream last night which featured some b3tans. Most of the dream was about snowboarding, but Chickenlady and the Light in Chains happened to be there. I blame facebook for showing me what they look like.

also LiC: are you missing some fingers?

how's it going?

Fine thank you.
Settled on a cooker choice yet?


EDIT by the way I am officially trendy. Last night's Evening Standard had a big banner stating that psychedelia is once again 'in'. What super news.

Please God no!

( girlinthehole, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:27, Reply)

Sorry, I'm not sure if I can talk to you any more.
Are you 'in'? Are you 'A List' like me?

Are you trying to copy my style ideas for the coming season?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:29, Reply)

I'm strictly straight leg jeans and a quirky t-shirt kind of girl.

( girlinthehole, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:44, Reply)

yeah, went for the hotpoint one
reviews were good. and the smeg one was about £300 more expensive

figured that I'll have this cooker for a good few years, but it's not going to be the one I end up with, so no point worrying about it being top notch at the moment. Having a better hob than before and an additional oven will be much better.

psychedelia in? does this mean we're going to start seeing trendy twats in hawkwind t shirts and stuff?
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:27, Reply)

Sounds like a well thought-out decision.
If what you suggest becomes a reality, I shall take to the streets with a fucking pickaxe looking for victims. If I make some mistakes and take out some kindred spirits by mistake, that's just tough shit. Collateral damage.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:30, Reply)

It took some thought
the final decision was based on going to Comet and choosing the only one that didn't look shit.

Your pickaxe plan definitely has merit

Uuuugh
Dude I'm tiiired and fed up.

How was dinner?

And listen, if your new BFF was not in that dream, it was dull. I don't care HOW many digits LiC lost. I was not there to yodel and y'all had a shit old time. In Aspen. It was not Cmamonix.

EDIT: Morning Bougies and Mortadella
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:29, Reply)

Dinner was awesome
I can recommend the maple and mustard chicken. Really good.

The b3tans present were only incidental to the dream. it was mostly about swiftly learning to snowboard and then going on a snowy crevasse adventure.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:34, Reply)

Well I'm going to yodel over the vista anyway *yodel-ay-hee-heee*
Did the chicken dry out or was it ok uncovered?
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:36, Reply)

it was fine
went nicely sticky and didn't char or dry out even after 45 minutes
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:42, Reply)

Sounds good
That reminds me. I made a gorgeous sticky coating out red wine and sugar once. I was just messing about but it turned out and it was effin lovely.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:45, Reply)

Hungover
and very very tired, however got a text around 1am that my friends baby is getting much better, and will hopefully come off life support soon.
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:40, Reply)

that's good news

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:42, Reply)

certainly is,
is taking the stress and worry off a little
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:49, Reply)

My little'un was in intensive care for 4 days after she was born
Properly shit me up I can tell you. Time seemed to stand still.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:43, Reply)

yeah
she went in for a regular scan as the baby was a week overdue and withing 5 mins they were rushing her off for an emergency C section, the poor scrap was in a very bad state.
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:46, Reply)

How awful.
Mine was 2 weeks early and delivered by Caesarean, but at least we always knew she'd be coming out of the sunroof - her mother is hugely diabetic and there was a pretty high risk of her going blind during the old 'pushing' routine....

Worth bearing in mind that they are soooo overcautious when it comes to babies - they go into intensive for really minor concerns simply because the little blighters are so fragile.

Pleased to hear things are improving. I wouldn't wish that on anyone (except perhaps Bowie).
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:51, Reply)

my brother came out
about 7 weeks early with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck!
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:56, Reply)

ah, a 'Devil child'.
I trust he was burned alive as a precaution?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:58, Reply)

unfortunately not
and he has gone on to spawn a couple of bratlings as well
(Halfy By light alone, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:51, Reply)

Oh I'm glad
There's me feeling like I should stop being 'fed up'.
Hope the bab keeps getting better.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:43, Reply)

Why are you fed up honey bun?

( girlinthehole, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:46, Reply)

Not too sure BeeGeeBee
Tired an unmotivated. I'd like to claim SAD, but maybe I'm just being a mopey cow.
It really doesn't suit me, and I should be chirpy as two people came in my pub just to flirt with me yesterday.
Anyway, I'm going to attempt to re-chirp today!!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:51, Reply)

It's probably due to a cheese deficiency

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:53, Reply)

Does cheese do that endorphine thing?
Imagine if this really is a cheese comedown...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:00, Reply)

dunno
I'm not much of a cheese eater unless it is melted so have never experienced a cheese rush
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:00, Reply)

Do what I did on Sunday
Buy shitloads of cheese. I have a lovely Brie de Meaux, some Gorgonzola Piccante and a couple of other choice nuggets.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:02, Reply)

I've only just got rid of all my Christmas cheese
I was hoping to lose a few pounds so thought I should cut down on the fromagery...
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:03, Reply)

Gorgonzola piccante?
Isn't that a car?
( girlinthehole, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:04, Reply)

Yes,
it's very 'me', very 'now', very trendy psychedelic car.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:05, Reply)

You're entitled to be a mopey cow now and then.
I bet Timmy Mallet even has down days.

Yes, and if I hadn't slowed down I'd have become Su Pollard
Keraaazy (and possibly secretly suicidal)
:P
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:07, Reply)

when I lived in Islington
I saw Su Pollard in Angel Sainsbury's at least 7 visits out of 10. hanging around wearing 'look at me' earrings, hoping to be approached by a 'fan'.

I dreamt I was sailing a tiny yacht

That was as quick and agile as wakeboarding, it was rather fun.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:46, Reply)

Real Wakeboarding
or Wakeboarding on the Wii Sports Resort Plus?
(Bazongaloid, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:47, Reply)

I don't even do ironingboarding

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:52, Reply)

Real wakeboarding

I don't have a wii, however I am now off to do a poo if that helps
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:52, Reply)

wakeboarding on the Wii is great fun

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:58, Reply)

I have all my fingers BUT
Bizarrely I dreamt about moving into a shared house with b3tans. I had watched the new Chuck before going to bed which may have contributed.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:54, Reply)

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 9:58, Reply)

please let it be Norris

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:00, Reply)

lamentably (my favourite word at the moment it would seem)
it's not Chuck Norris

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_(TV_series)
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:05, Reply)

Pah! Trades descriptions act time again
They've clearly named the show 'Chuck' specifically to trick Norris fans into watching it, and thus trebling their audience figures. Like that film 'Moon' which singularly failed in every way to be about the life of Keith Moon.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:08, Reply)

or about naked arses

and she stank, apparently.

Alright!
I'm good thank you, really tired today despite having a wicked nights sleep - most strange.

I'm still mourning the loss of the first two episodes of Glee last night on E4 - the channel had some sort of mental attack and Sky didn't record them - boooooo!

I didn't hear the word flim-flam anywhere yesterday for the first time in ages, maybe it is falling from favour...
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:05, Reply)

Me neither
Its usually Stephen Fry and James May that are responsible for the flim-flamming... maybe its no longer trendy? *hangs head in shame*

I tried not to get sucked in. I was trying to read a manly book while the mrs watched it.

I failed
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:14, Reply)

What was your manly book?
I'm imagining you reading something like Sniper Down whilst slowly lowering the book to look at the hot girl in Glee... then raising the book when the footballer boy comes on.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:22, Reply)

Confessor by Terry Goodkind
it's book 11 of 11 of the gradually worsening Sword of Truth series.

it has quite a lot of violence in it
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:22, Reply)

Ah I have not heard of these books
DiT reads quite a lot of crazy books full of violence and wars and planes and junk... I tend to read books on zombies, vampires, serial killers, random autobiographies and books by Stephen Fry... between us we have quite a 'special' collection! :S
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:28, Reply)

mine is almost exclusively sci fi and fantasy
the mrs likes james patterson and michael connelly, stuff like that

I've got some horror stuff, mainly james herbert and stephen king.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:31, Reply)

James Patterson is good
and I like Jeffrey Deaver too! :D

James Herbert is ace and has the ability to scare the shit out of people... Stephen King did... he's lost it a bit now! :(
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:51, Reply)

I like Stephen King's short stories
not all horror, but good and weird

James Herbert is a bit too horrifying for me. I've read Lair and Domain I think. '48 is my fave though.

James Patterson is getting worse. Especially the ones he writes with other people. I'd avoid those if I were you.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:55, Reply)

I agree
Stephen King has written some brilliant short stories. If you like his then you should have a look at Richard Matheson, because Stephen King basically learnt everything from Richard Matheson.

You're right about James Patterson, he is getting worse, the same applies for Dean Koontz.

A really really great book that's out at the mo is called The Strain and its by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Its ace and is going to be a trilogy. It was the best book I read last year and would highly recommend it to those that like a bit of a thriller/action book.

I'll add it to my list
especially as I managed to get a Charles Brookmyre book from Fopp for £2 the other day and have crossed that off the list.

although I've lost my list :-(

Maybe you should set up a wish list on Amazon or something to keep track of the books you want, at least that way you'll have a hard copy somewhere! :D

Gradually worsening?!?
It started off awful, with a medieval peasant organising a vote to ban fire right on the very first page. How much worse could it have got?
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Tue 12 Jan 2010, 10:37, Reply)

the first few books were reasonably entertaining
admittedly there was some bollocks in them, but believe me they have got worse. The last 6 or so books have been so full of completely bollocks philosophising and increasingly complicated descriptions of how magic works in ridiculous ways.

However, I've persevered and I'd quite like to know how the whole lot ends.

This book seems to be centred on the main character having been captured by the enemy, having disguised his identity, and being made to take part in a rugby-like game which is at the centre of the "Old World"'s way of life.

In the bit I just read he twisted someone's head until their neck broke during a game. great stuff
