I am
genuinely gutted about missing this. However, I shall TRY and have fun at ATP regardless.
beforehand
where's everyone going/meeting up?
I am going
I've just added my name to the definately list...this event is now in my DiS calender.
we're meeting up round
at Claire's house whilst she's off gallivanting with her fancy chalet mates
You're welcome
but it's bloody cold in my flat so I wouldn't recommend it ;) Help yourself to the random bottles of Breezer in the fridge left over from our housewarming!
Sub zero temperatures?
Bacardi breezers? Wow, sounds like my idea of heaven!
I'm coming
just to see you Fellalady!
I'm coming just to
see my neighbours SCL and Fells so we can bitch about the bus routes and fall down dead-drunk on cheap beer
Yay!!
Hello stranger. Have you really got pink hair now?
No
I'm a lot older than when I last saw you. I've gone grey now.
We won't be able to take the piss out of the DJ's very easily at the luminaire they tuck them out of the way in a little box :o(
"they tuck them out of the way in a little box"
ah but the BANDS can, so if you have something abusive you wish to pass on then i'm sure if you give a note to the bassist or something then they can give it to the DJs.
"where's everyone going/meeting up?"
nowhere - you'll all come straight to my club and spend ALL your money on the bar there. WON'T YOU?
i might come along
i want to go to the cinema first though. and is it a late one? kilburn could be a pain to get back to tottenham from...
I will be there
dragging Marilyninthesky with me too! And a couple of friends from Uni!
Hurrah hurrah
for everything - I intend to play anything that Bamos doesn't - does that make any sense?
After talking
to you both on Saturday yes perfect sense!
I'll be there.
Just you try and stop me.
I'll be there
Oh no wait, I wont cos i don't live in London :(
There are so many of you down there you could just hire a bus to visit shef...
Everyone, my 21st May 2007. Sheffield, Corporation Wednesday, School Disco Night :D
Be there...
I'll put that in my diary...
Commandercool, sadpunk AND thewarn are coming down for Friday night, and they don't live in London. You're just lazy ;)
You've got to come down on Jan 28th at the very least. I've heard there's a big party of fun happening down here. Oh yes.
Is sadpunk coming again?
yay! I didn't know that. I'll be there, of course, hopefully I'll have stopped being ill by then.
I might look into the 28th
depends when my exams and stuff fall...
I might pop over after work drinks
depending how late they go on for.
both nights
sound really shit to me
I'll be there
but bamos is going down tomorrow instead, or so he tells me.
Hands On Heads
Hands On Heads have sadly pulled out as one of them is going to be "away".
But fear not, as they have been replaced by the mighty boy/girl drum-machine-and-shouting act that is LEVELLOAD. so that's ok then.
come dressed as a monster, please.
Will
my normal face do?
Can I come?
I promise not to follow through on the bus
Classic.
Yes, you can deffo come.
I've
literally just exploded with laughter at that, you comedy bastard you. I've got to go for a fag to calm myself down...
me too, apart from the fag part
who is this ROFLcopter?
I want to post in my old username now...
I know who it is.
Me too.
.
I haven't seen
any of his other 12 posts
it's prole, isn't it?
That's
his age, not his post count!
oh
chortlesome
got it in one
do we all have to have fake usernames today? I can't really be bothered...
I'll be there too.
Wearing a t-shirt with a rare Japanese SQL data base on it.
Me too
I'll be wearing a thee unstrung t-shirt and requesting this is for the poor all night.
oh dear
this is not Droptones.
for some reason
i guessed who this might be straight away.
Did your
nerd alarm go off? :)
well dont look at me
I'll hold my hands up to ROFLcopter!
I'll admit it
I'm shadyadie. Sorry guys!
LIES.
Well, whichever one of you is Adie...
I look forward to seeing you on Friday. I need to have a 'business' talk with you...
This logging out and logging back in is tough!
That was the last time. I'll stay as bobbygeorge now.
I don't think I'll be coming on Friday...
don't tell me you've
spilt something on your teflon slacks Grinders?
Well
it would have slid straight off Teflon slacks, surely?
thayt's not teflon!
It's a nice mohair blend
why?
what's your excuse?
Mo hair mo problems?
Mose Allison?
He's great. Saw him at Pizza Express.
Really?
What did he order?
He was taking the orders
dummy.
I'll dummy
your orders.
Scuse me - he's one of the jazz greats!
He was playing. I shook his hand.
That's what I meant
remember - I think like I write.....
PS - I am NOT gay4AlanMcGee, nor am i gay for alan mcgee
you would be
if he'd patted your arm affectionately, as he did with me.
alan mcgee does that to everybody
the hussy
Patronisingly, wasn't it?
'There there little girl, I'll play some nice indie for you. Coochy-coochy-coo'
That may be the best Alan McGee impression of all time right there
please make that
your catchphrase for friday night.
if you can avoid sexual harassment charges, i'll shout you a pint.
Is your voice that
loud?
I'm going to wear a tie on Friday
That's the spirit Prole
Approach middle-age with confidence ;-)
I didnt say where I was
going to wear it now did I cheeky
Will that be in honour of me?
Have I set a trend?
yes.
Office chic
now its more of
a country squire look - couldn't get away with a skinny tie when yr my size!
It'd look
like you'd stolen a Sylvanian Families wardrobe.
I had loads of them!
the tails always broke off straight away though, and you could never get the bows tied neatly again.
Yeah,
I had that trouble as well! Bloody tiny squirrel bastard families...
Oh, hang on. I've written this post as my sister. Honest.
I'm really lost
series 2
can someone explain it to me what a Sylvanian family is - is it owt to do with Japan?
Tiny woodland
creature-type figures that young girls played with back in the day. Song on the advert threatened to break into the saxophone break from Tina Turner's mega-hit, 'The Best', but never quite got there...
yes
they are girls toys. Little nuclear families of woodland creatures in rustic clothing. You could also get houses, shops etc. for them, including a windmill, a barge, a bakery, a mansion house. I have to admit, I think I had about 100 of them.
that doesnt surprise me
for some reason (insert smiling/winking but none flirting emoticon) HTMLcopter
yep
if it wasn't for Sylvanian Families I'd be an aggressive hardcore bitch!
I had the Prole Families
Council Estate Set - it was great but then it set fire to itself after daubing paint everywhere and trying to stab me once I'd swtiched the light out - my mum got fed up of seeing burnt out matchbox cars everywhere and kerbcrawling SpaceLego men being caught with their plastic legs down
i used to work in a toyshop
a shitload of baby sylvanians work really well as shotgun-style ammo for nerf guns. Fact.
Good fact.
I have a feeling that will come in handy someday.
"kerbcrawling SpaceLego men being caught with their plastic legs down"
this ^^^
PRE-MATCH PINTS!
Right. I've done some surveying. We should meet for drinks at one of the many boozers on Kilburn High Road, because that's where the venue is. My survey revealed The Old Bell or The Good Ship.
Anyone been in these, and don't mind them? Anyone except Theo, who has an aversion to every pub in the world, obviously.
So. I'll be in one of these at 7ish or something, before me and Prole go and learn how to DJ.
Innit.
The Good Ship
sounds good!
I need to get a record bag
now I'm a Deejay, just like my mobile disco heroes - yeah 7-ish seems good I reckon deffo -well done Bammy - Adie have given me some tips as well!
sorry I meant Adie 'has'
god will someone tell me what school was like as its clear I never attended one ever!
When I read books I mouth the words silently with a really gormless face following each word earnestly with my index finger - and of course I only read Harry Potter and Puddle of Mudd
the good shit?
okey, may be there then... at least for one or two.
I'm excited! And
a little bit nervous. I need a wee.
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/15/15148/Good_Ship/Kilburn
That's a pub. Me and Prole will be there from 7ish. Possibly. We will leave early though, so we can get to the Luminaire, just up the road, for when it opens.
saved me asking
i will be there.
is this our first dj experience prole?
i may be there for 7. however, that's only if i go out straight from work. If i go home first i'll be much later than.
omg
it's tonight, omg. i hope i can find my records.
You'll be great
Looking forward to meeting you and hearing you play!
just to warn you
I will have been drinking since 1pm, probably up until when I meet you guys. I have also had a haircut. TRUE FACT ROFL.
that's not fair
I want to drink since 1
Yes, but he's talking about the hour
not the age.
LOLlocks
wot time you go tonite bg?
I'm not sure, depends what time I finish work.
What about you?
if the gods are singing from the same chimney
about 7:27
Can someone please tell me
the quickest and easiest way to get to The Luminaire from Islington? Please? Thank you.
