I have made myself a little concoction of Dissaronto and Baileys, in the hope it cures me. It's a bit sweet, but it's all I could find.

00:10 / 16.03.04

oof. that does sound sweet.

00:13 / 16.03.04

I also found gin - but in my world that is barely a notch up from meths. Or hot napalm death.

Unless it's with lemon and a lot of ice and tonic, when it shields the core taste of death.

00:14 / 16.03.04

me,i'm peckish , and a little tempted to late night pasta. mmm

00:15 / 16.03.04

Well, I’m a follower in the ‘I follow the fortunes of a team with my heart in my mouth’ sense, rather than the ‘trailing around the country with a coloured scarf’ sense. So it’s nothing to boast about. But then, I can’t even afford a newspaper these days, let alone a season ticket. I’m not going to say the name of the team out loud because you and Haus will hit me, but suffice to say I inherited them in a third-generation-allegiance kind of deal, and that we got relegated last year and all our fantastic players got sold to fucking Chelsea.

But I’ll always like Leeds because of their swashbuckling exploits in the Champions League a couple of years back. Had some great nights watching those matches. Happy days.

Oh, I like Gin. I wish I had some gin right now.

00:15 / 16.03.04

foolish childe, gin=stuff of life.

Not neat of course. Tonic/lime/ice.

Art.

00:17 / 16.03.04

I agree that's pleasant, BiP. But it worries me a little, mainly because when I was a younger lad I often did drink the stuff neat as it comes.

By the glass.

It doesn't set me in good stead to find it a pleasant experience to revisit.

00:24 / 16.03.04

Oh and BH, given cost and my inconvenient location as regards Elland road, I don't have much terrace cred either. i should know, but my brains mushy...

ah, see i have gin. Bombay Sapphire even. and tonic. excuse me a sec....

00:30 / 16.03.04

Well, If you’re all a-boozling, I’ll finish off this bottle of port I was saving. Just to be part of the gang.

Suede, your “when I was a younger lad...” makes me laugh, considering you’re still so very young now. Although I think I know the sentiment. The first time I got drunk was with a bottle of Campari, and the memory of it still gives me the spins all these many years later.

I've heard that a shot of Bailey's and a shot of butterscotch liquer is extremely tasty, but thats if you like drinking candy, I guess. They're playing all these Bailey's commercials now for tiny bottles of Bailey's with the suggestion that you bring it to your next tailgate party. Because nothing goes better with chips and salsa, I guess.

00:35 / 16.03.04

how *old* is Suede?

and are we back in our 'crotchety aunt and uncle' routine?

00:36 / 16.03.04

It was about 7 years ago! I think that's deserving of "when I were a boy..." status!

Especially if you drink it by the glass. Try it. It's like being sick, even if you're not. Backwards.

Those were the days, eh? And this was when I was an *experienced* drinker. And by that I mean: managed to not be sick, most of the time.

Except that time where I had a party and there was all this sick around my house in the morning and I was going all "hey man who was sick in the bath" and they were like "I dont know man" and I said "dude whoever did that is an idiot" and then I spoke to this girl and said "yo who was sick in the bath yo?" and she was all like "that was you" and I went "oh shit."

00:37 / 16.03.04

I was 22, last month.

00:38 / 16.03.04

I was under the impression he was 21. And no, I’m not in the mood for crochety uncle, so to speak, but tales of how his constitution is shot after a lifetime of abuse is a bit much, I think.

00:38 / 16.03.04

And our young people years are longer than your old people years. They fly by.

00:40 / 16.03.04

God, I do sound crochety. Gah. Sorry.

00:41 / 16.03.04

Serious. Whole lifetime of abuse. F'real. Ok, slight exaggeration, but I feel it's only fair to be affected a lot more after the serious drinking I did do. I slowed it down for a reason, y'know!

00:43 / 16.03.04

Oh no, I sound like one of those boasting kids!

"I went out, yeah? Drank 78 pints yeah? 67 shots yeah?"

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. Barely felt it, me."

"Yeah?"

"Didn't even know I was drunk."

"Yeah?"

"And I pulled 5 fitties, yeah?"

"Yeah?"

"STEAMIN'!"

00:44 / 16.03.04

bah. that's a fair point. sounds like yr somewhere better for you now.

00:45 / 16.03.04

Goodnight people, and I might not lateshift proper for a couple weeks. But no doubt I'll get back to nocturnal duties soon enough. Unless I get exploded in london, which everyone in the world seems to think will happen, just cause Im there. But if they happen to be right, tara.

And the newbie's name is a little too close to Ganesh for comfort.

00:45 / 16.03.04

00:46 / 16.03.04

00:47 / 16.03.04

Have fun 'boppa.

00:48 / 16.03.04

Have a wonderful time Bop. Remember, take photos!! And don’t forget the V&A.

BiP: sorry.

00:49 / 16.03.04

ps. try not to explode!

00:50 / 16.03.04

omg. i'm stricken.

but i'm an Asian leeds fan, fer chrissakes. hardly moral high ground.

I tell you what, shall we swop, one bunch of racist fucks for another, and the travelling 'd be easier.

Yeah, i have leeds from inheritance. but my dad swopped to man u. bastard.

00:51 / 16.03.04

worra bastard! You can't swap! Even I know that shizzle!

00:54 / 16.03.04

well he's lived in both, but when i was a kid it was all leeds.

Ironically, our other team, my third-gen team(who a cousin plays for), have signed a deal with Leicester. Wonder if they're having second thoughts.

00:56 / 16.03.04

Ha, do you know where I live?

I'm glad I don't follow these things. I know enough, but enough to not even want to know more.

00:58 / 16.03.04

Well, that’s the thing. It’s my dad’s team. So it’s my team.

Actually it was the sight of Paolo diCaneo that won me over, but I’m not going to tell my dad that

Besides, it’s the team I support, not the supporters. Screw the supporters.

00:58 / 16.03.04

really?
