Owing to confusion in the previous thread, here is a proper Friday morning thread.
Its bank holiday weekend, the weather is fowl, but may improve to just plain crap. What are you going to be doing, or what would you like to be doing?

Mornin Bart
I've cricked me neck in the night :(

This weekend is the Mathew Street Festival here. It started out as a Beatles thing but now it's just lots of stages all over the city and heaving packed pubs with mediocre bands, apart from Groundpig, they're boss. Someone's planning a synchronised Beatles singalong across all the stages. I'm so tempted to drag djtp along and watch his skin blister as it dawns on him just what he is embroiled in.

In other news some mates are coming over tomorrow night for board games and booze, and I've agreed to cook. FOR FOUR PEOPLE!! I am afraid. And they should be afraid too.

Mornin' Ma'am.
I have to fess up and say, that I could sing all the beatles songs, probably without words, having sung along to them in the car for many years. I'm rather jealous for not being there myself.

Never show mercy at board games. Thrash their arse's at triv' or whatever you are playing.

We're either playing Hotel (incites violence) or Logo (intriguing) so either way I will embarrass myself.

It's like Monopoly but with big tacky hotels to be built bit by bit

I think I've played that, it was really good fun.
I had one called 13 Dead End Drive where there are 13 character pieces on the board and you have cards that match 3 or 4 of the characters and you have to try and kill off the other characters without people realising who you are. It's got working trapdoors and a little chandelier that falls on the person you're killing.

When we were young, my brother and I really wanted a table tennis table.
Our Dad, being a tight but practical bloke, fashioned one out of an old trestle table and two large pieces of chipboard.
When the table tennis fad had passed, we drew an upscaled Risk board onto the top amd would spend hours playing it in the garage The feeling of it being one of those war room tables where people push model planes around with sticks seemed to add something to the game.

That's just reminded me that my brother "had previous" in regard to drawing out board games.
He'd played the Colditz game at a friend's house and was so taken with it that he borrowed it and made a copy onto cardboard. Our Dad was so impressed with the effort that he'd put in that, despite being somewhat tigh, he gave him the money to go and buy the game. It was really good.
The next day I drew a picture of a Hull City season pass, but only got a clip round the ear. - It was a shit drawing, to be fair.

I agree that it's ridiculous
But the difference here is that since the company builds the cars in question, it's not spending anything like what you'd think on building them in the first place.

The actual manufacturing cost of a car is only a fraction of what it retails for. Management have to pay a lease charge on those cars for the 6 months that they have them. After the 6 months they are released into the dealership network as 'approved used cars'. The lease charge that the managers pay makes up a good chunk of the difference between what the dealer would pay for a brand new example minus any incentives, and what they pay for the lightly used example.

In short, they make as much money doing that as they do by selling a new car to Joe Public.

The problem rears its head though
when you have a large volume manufacturer doing that. Ever noticed how pretty much all the recent-ish used cars on a Ford dealer's forecourt are 'Ford Direct' vehicles with an Essex registration plate?

There's so many of them, there's little incentive to actually buy a new one.

Perhaps the obvious question
Is why are you going if you don't like the guy?
(, Fri 27 Aug 2010, 8:55, Reply)
because he's one of our group of friends
and he's one of the lads who Wiggy hangs out with, so to not go would cause hassle for Wiggy. Plus the guy's girlfriend has just moved here from Sweden so I don't want to exclude her and make her feel unwelcome just because her boyfriend's a douche.

I plan to do what he always does at our parties though, get really drunk, be extremely loud and annoying, take pictures to immediately upload to facebook to show everyone how super fun I am all the time, throw up on the bed and leave by 10pm.

My daughter seemed to go through all of the potty training stuff pretty well except for one incident when she was around two..
My girlfriend and step-daughter were away in Canada to attend the wedding of my girlfriend's Dad. I had taken the week off work to look after my daughter and all had gone well. One evening whilst she was playing with her dolls I nipped upstairs to set the bath running for her pre bed bath. When I came back down she had not only done a poo, but had decided to use it to "draw" on the television (this was well before Chris Ofili started using poo in his paintings, the bloody copy-cat.) I kept calm and didn't make a fuss. I just got her in the bath and off to bed. I then set about the task of cleaning the telly. Baby wipes sorted the screen pretty quickly, but she'd managed to shove some into the holes that allow the sound out of the speakers, and into those red, yellow and white AV sockets. This required delicate ear bud and coctail stick work, and to ensure that I didn't simply push the poo into the television, taking the casing off. It took bloody ages, but my overwhelming thought whilst doing was that the most important thing was not to have a heart attack and die as this would mean
1. My daughter would be alone.
and
2. Imagine being found, by someone who wouldn't know what had happened, on plastic sheet in the lounge surrounded by shit-tipped cotton buds and cocktail sticks with a part diassembled television. It would look like whilst my girlfriend was away I was induilging in some bizarre mild electrocution/faeces related auto erotic shenanigans that combined the worst of Michael Hutchence and Chuck Berry's indulgences.

It's fucking brilliant.
The trick is to find a good spot and stay there rather than wandering around like a tourist. Bottle of rum in pocket, then just buy cans of Coke and top them up with the rum, thus minimising the need to piss every 15 minutes that lots of beer causes.

Best system: 'Gaz's Rockin' Blues' on Talbot Road: ska and 50s rock'n'roll. Magic! Gaz Mayall's dad is blues legend John Mayall, fact fans.

Heading up for the first time this weekend myself
Would 'Gaz's Rockin Blues' be there on Sat? Does it change day to day?

Also bottle of rum tip duly noted.

Nothing happens on Saturday
Sunday and Monday are your days. Gaz is there both days in the same place. Sunday is more family-oriented but still good. Monday is more hardcore and usually busier.

Channel One also have a good system if you like proper roots reggae. Dance music types gravitate towards Sancho Panza - but it's utterly shit and surrounded by fake-tanned gay men in deely boppers.
