It looks like it!
I'm on a barge trip this weekend around Milton Keynes, and it seems that the weather is going to be lovely. Yey!

Keep an eye out for Chompy.
He'll be the rapey looking one hiding living under a bridge.

Kind of LARP 'trolling', right?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 8:46, Reply)

It is real life to him.
And he takes it very seriously.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 8:48, Reply)

He disapointed me once
I was going to meet him and he didn't even call. He's not the rapey he says he is on here.

He's fucking great.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 8:48, Reply)

Is that ironic?
Or you really like him that much?
Or maybe you mean he's great as a rapey?

No irony, he's an excellent fellow.

Stop hitting on me

Not 'til you 'give up the booty'

I feel sick now.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:12, Reply)

I feel sick too.
Well done again.

I know I'm shit
in my defence I was moving house that weekend.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 8:57, Reply)

Oh, well
I forgive you then :)

We were pretty busy all weekend too, so wouldn't have had time for much apart from a beer or something like that.

Thanks, did you have a good time at woburn?

(PsychoChomp, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:00, Reply)

I walked Woburn a couple of weeks ago, gorgeous.
We also did Brickhill which you mentioned, bloody lovely around there.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:06, Reply)

I have many fond memories of falling off my bike in brickhill woods.

Haha

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:10, Reply)

Woburn was nice
The oyster festival wasn't. There was only one stand selling oysters at £15 for 6 oysters, a pint of cheap stout and a little glass (200mil) of fizzy. Everything in that village is so expensive!
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:14, Reply)

Ha ha, yes it's a bit of a rip off.
It's the premium you pay to pretend you're in middle England.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:18, Reply)

Buf
We paid £12 for a round of 3 pints!! Not even in London!

Of course, we had that round and went back to MK. So that's £15 taxi each way for an overpriced ale and 10 min in the funfair.

MK was lovely, though. A bit difficult to live in there if you don't have a car or a bike, but very pretty.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:25, Reply)

Ha, you should have just gone to the pubs,
they're cheaper than the stalls and usually do some oysters as well.

Mk is designed for the car but it's not that bad as long as you live nearish the center.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:29, Reply)

Oh, that was at the pub
we were told that they increase the prices during that weekend. We were so happy!

We have 2 friends in MK, both live near the center, but different centers, so it's a 30min bike ride to each other houses. Both have shops and a pub near their home, but if they want to meet, they need bikes or car.

Oh that sounds shit, it wasn't like that last year.
Stupid poshos in woburn.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:40, Reply)

Well, I'm not going again for sure
I can find lovely oysters in other places, for a reasonable price too.

is how most people react after their first (and last) trips to milton keynes.

The canal through Milton Keynes is totally lovely.
I've walked a fair portion of it - MK at its best.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 8:50, Reply)

The trip is a week long
The guys started on Monday and are sending lovely pictures. I'm jealous. I can only go Friday to Sunday, but maybe have to leave on Sat, as we have tons of things to do and we need the internet.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 7 Oct 2010, 8:52, Reply)

I'm only ten miles down the road from there.
Next time you come, I'll come and flash my tits say hi.

Well,
Next time is Friday.

I'm going to London tomorrow to see Mumford & Sons
which is considerably more interesting than going to Oxford to see The Magic Numbers which, up until yesterday, was what I was doing tomorrow.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:04, Reply)

I'd say they were both equally interesting.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:08, Reply)

What level of interesting-ness would you rate them at?

(Cave Duck, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:12, Reply)

Somewhere around the 'Marillion' mark.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:15, Reply)

I see.


In other news, I notice that Marillion's original singer is teaming up with Erik Estrada and the other bloke from that motor bike cop show to do a tour of Harry Ramsden's establishments.

The pitiful, lonely existence of 'Fish' makes me feel very sad.
Not even CHiPS can cheer him up
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:26, Reply)

I don't know either, so I can't tell
But ok, I'll let you know next time we're around MK. Where do you live?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 7 Oct 2010, 9:15, Reply)

You didn't rate them live?
I saw them a few years ago and I thought they were alright. 7/10, I'd say.
(berk, Thu 7 Oct 2010, 10:12, Reply)

Has anybody else noticed that the so-fat-he-can't-even-reach-his-own-chin-to-shave lead singer
of The Magic Numbers sounds like South Park's Eric Cartman when he sings?
