Re: sloooooow day

Yeah im bored dude.

Lets play a game.

Re: sloooooow day

I'm also bored, I've got a meeting at 1pm though. Then I'll be bored again!

Re: sloooooow day

I just smashed my shin on my workmates desk attempting to volley an oddjob-esque hat across the office in a comedy manner. It bloody hurts.

Re: sloooooow day

that made me smile bamos. i'd be happier if you came up here and let me kick you in the nuts repeatedly though. actually, i'll be in kent tomorrow, fancy a nut-kicking?

game me up delvy!

Re: sloooooow day

I'm in Stoke for a wedding, so unfortunately I'll have to pass on the nut-kicking. Maybe next time, eh? When my shin has recovered.

Re: sloooooow day

any ideas...i'll let you choose.

Just know that i will win

Re: sloooooow day

even if we played the "Be Sadpunk" game?

Re: sloooooow day

Yeah id kick your ass

Re: sloooooow day

Re: sloooooow day

Re: sloooooow day

Re: sloooooow day

Re: sloooooow day

Yes I do, with the added bonus of liking music and guitars!

I'm sadpunkier than thou. So sadpunk it hurts

Re: sloooooow day

In all this being me excitement, I completely missed my 2000th post!! :(

Re: sloooooow day

Awww.

Happy 2000th me.

Re: sloooooow day

I can't believe I missed my 2,000th post!

Re: sloooooow day

Think i'll listen to some Stellastarr* to celebrate my 2000th post.

Re: sloooooow day

ok, delve wins cos I am* actually listening to My Coco right now!!


*he is

Re: sloooooow day

*amazing sense of pride/smugness*

Re: sloooooow day

it's quite crushing to think someone else makes a better me that I do!

Re: sloooooow day

I wish I could join in all the nut-crunching fun :(

Re: sloooooow day

What did I do to you to warrant such nut-crunching desires? Grrrr.

Re: sloooooow day

All this talk of nut-crunching has made them disappear up into my stomach...

Re: sloooooow day

Don't growl at me, chicken.
I don't really have such desires.

Re: sloooooow day

Your enviable nuts?

Re: sloooooow day

I'm bored too. I started at 8am, finish at 7pm, and I'm working all weekend too. Life is wrong.

Re: sloooooow day

Wrife is Long too.

Re: sloooooow day

So how are other people's weekends shaping up then? Let the commander feed off our fun vicariously.

Re: sloooooow day

Ive got a gig tonight :D:D:D

Then err, maybe some football at the weekend. Thats about it.


Re: sloooooow day

working all week, working all weekend. Surely that's not right :(

i am SO BORED.

Re: sloooooow day

I just puked up all over myself.

Re: sloooooow day

Really... what you gonna do about it.

Re: sloooooow day

someone call maintenance, the chuffmachine is broken!

Re: sloooooow day

Oi, respect your elders. Did you know the word 'chuff' derives from a steam engine? Did you know Wales was the first to produce a steam engine? ew, I sort of missed the toilet bowl, and then my dog proceeded to start licking it up. It's quite vile.

Re: sloooooow day

I'm older than you!

Re: sloooooow day

I thought the first steam engine was built in the north east of england. But then I think everything was done first in the north east of england. You're not getting confused with Ivor the Engine are you?

Re: sloooooow day

The first line was from Stockton to Darlington..

:)

Re: sloooooow day

Har-har. I was under the impression the first steam engine was made in Swansea, South Wales. But I haven't updated my steam engine weekly for a while. Perhaps I'm wrong.

Re: sloooooow day

was that to relieve the boredom?

or are you ill?

Re: sloooooow day

I'm in Stoke this weekend for fun, beer and chatting up bridesmaids, and then I'm off work all week in preparation for Reading. Zonino! Today is my last day at work until September! I'm a happy chappy, apart from my poorly shin.

Re: sloooooow day

i'm rocking out with my band in sevenoaks and i cant wait. i'm going to try not to crash the van on the way down when i'll be hungover and i'm going to play croquet.

Re: sloooooow day

dude whats your band called. Any linkage?

Re: sloooooow day

Any Linkage would be a shit band name!

Re: sloooooow day

haha you crack me up. Or do i crack me up? Or do i crack you up?

Re: sloooooow day

I think we crack us up :)

Re: sloooooow day

Oh yeah. Thats it.

haha. We crack us up.

Re: sloooooow day

this is our incarnation as a weezer tribute band which we wheel out at parties and special events*
the proper band's very much in it's infancy at the moment, but the stuff we're writing sounds a bit like seafood and superchunk...



*read: whenever someone asks us to.

Re: sloooooow day

Awesome.

Do you do requests?

I want a really metal version of Butterfly.

Re: sloooooow day

we do a version of butterfly and we did write a comedy stadium rock ending to it but that got vetoed by our singer.
our set list is very blue-album orientated:

my name is jonas
don't let go
suzanne
in the garage
sweater song
no-one else
butterfly
jamie
el scorcho
-----------
buddy holly
surf wax america

Re: sloooooow day

oh its ok you do El Scorcho

:D:D

Id like to see you play. You live quite close, you wanna do a gig up here...?

I can set it up, you can even have DELvE as support. :-D

Re: sloooooow day

possibly, i'll ask the other guys. it'd be better (cheaper) if you could get to leeds :P unless we can play the scummy acklam!

we're toying with names at the moment but i think "cuomosexual" is winning.

Re: sloooooow day

The Acklam has been closed down man.

Re: sloooooow day

shit that's bad news :(
it was scary but i liked it.

how about upstairs in dr brown's then? always looks packed in there even if there's only about six people watching.

Re: sloooooow day

Never played Dr Browns, ill have to see what i can do like. Could maybe get in the Empire or a few places in Stockton if i tried. Although if you get a place in Leeds area im sure we'd be up for that too.

The Acklam though was really scruffy but awesome place to play. Got closed down for serving 8 year olds or something.

Re: sloooooow day

i can see that happening.

i'll let you know if we're doing anything in the next few months. what type of music do you guys play?

a couple of my bandmates are in a metal sideproject that will be playing some smaller shows soonish i think, i'll almost definitely be able to get you guys a slot if you were up for it.

Re: sloooooow day

We play kinda Post-Metal type stuff.

And yeah we'd be up for it!!

Re: sloooooow day

nice. they're called death hand approaching. i think they'll be interested if you can make it.
have you got any mp3s etc that i can pass them?

you should also check out humanfly from leeds, saw them last night and they were awesome in a post-metal kind of way.

Re: sloooooow day

yeah www.myspace.com/delve

thats our first demo, but its really immature and primitive if you get what i mean. We have developed shitloads since then.

Do you mind if i add you on MSN?

Re: sloooooow day

not at all. the more the merrier :)

be warned though, i often get drunk and attempt talk shit at whoever is online...

Re: sloooooow day

thats fine. I often do the same.

Re: sloooooow day

I'm bored too

I have to sit at home and wait for bloody DHL to arrive with a package - how dull is that...

and it's a sunny sunshine blue-sky swedish august honey kind of a day too which makes it doubly annoying grrr

having said that - when the DHL thingy arrives I'll be happier than larry the little happy lamb

Re: sloooooow day

Whats the package?

Re: sloooooow day

Does my theory make sense...

The later you leave lunch the later you have to get back to work.

Re: sloooooow day

Hey Anschul I'm in Stockholm September 3rd! Are you playing any gigs around then? Who's DHL?

Re: sloooooow day

Yeah who is DHL... what's his game eh???

Re: sloooooow day

DHL is THE MAN man!

Re: sloooooow day

I know you know what he knows

Re: sloooooow day

yeah SHE knows.

Re: sloooooow day

Is Anshul a she?

Re: sloooooow day

possibly...

Re: sloooooow day

AnsChul is a he - do I look like a she in my pic?

Re: sloooooow day

Is that you in your pic?? Cool.

Nice Pic. Nice shades...

Re: sloooooow day

Shexy

Re: sloooooow day

thanks - yeah it's moi
the shades are Dior baby!

from their 1987 men's swimwear accesory collection

but I half-inched them from a draw in mrs Anschul's studio when she worked at Givenchy - whoever they belonged to must have been quite annoyed - quite possibly Julien MacDonald actually!

Re: sloooooow day

The DHL thingy is this

http://www.pixmania.com/se/se/113023/art/jvc/videokamera-gz-mc500-skri.html?srcid=87#

(DHL being a delivery company naturally)

I have 3 gigs in the next 7 days but currently none booked for september I'm afraid lauren - but maybe we could organise something just for fun

Re: sloooooow day

wow only 14 281 SEK

err.

Thats how much?

Re: sloooooow day

just over a grand - including delivery - but I ordered a few extras too!

hurry up DHL!

Re: sloooooow day

really. *mouth opens*

Wish i had that kind of money. *mouth closes, tears form*

Re: sloooooow day

It was simple - I put a fiver on liverpool winning the champions league during the half-time of the final


this is not actually true

I'm actually very poor but I could afford this due to my carlsberg tv ad monies
so there is a liverpool connection after all

Re: sloooooow day

"carlsberg tv ad monies "

I can't actually tell whether you are joking or not so...

elaborate please :)

Re: sloooooow day

well - I thought we did this on the board a while ago

maybe not

err - the day before the champions league final I did a carlsberg tv ad - 16hours work for a couple of grand - when I say work I actually mean playing golf on the ps2

OK - here's the link - they made me look like an ageing chav - I don't really look like that, honest!

http://www.liebling.tv/carlsberg.html

it's been on heavy rotation in swedeland,finland,norway and Denmark

Re: sloooooow day

Woah, cool advert. My only claim to fame is being a reconstruction on crimestoppers once.

Re: sloooooow day

in a*
*crimewatch
doh! I'm gonig back to bed.

Re: sloooooow day

reconstruction eh?

I bet it was you wot done it! bad girl

I was on the telly in england for a whole week about 15 years ago - 5 nights in a row, at teatime

Re: sloooooow day

Now you're just on English TV after 11pm, right?;)

Re: sloooooow day

??

err - I'm not sure what goes on on english tv after 11 but I'm guessing it's some kind of porn

Re: sloooooow day

I know people who actually did.

Bastards....

Re: sloooooow day

My friend won a grand a few years ago when he put £40 on Sampras to win some tennis tournament. It was just before he went off to Zambia for a year, so the extra pocket money came in usefull.

Re: sloooooow day

yeah - I almost did, but the way I was feeling (being a reds fan) a could only manage a consolatory half time spliff before they were back on the pitch in a strangely parallel universe

Re: sloooooow day

My mate went to the loo when Liverpool scored first and then realised it must be him being in the bathroom that was doing the magic so he stayed in there the rest of the match so they would win. And it worked.

Re: sloooooow day

ha ha

that's hilarious - football and superstition eh?

Re: sloooooow day

by the way - fantastic pic you have on your profile hollywood_freak - where'd you find it?
