Now you've lost me.

Haus, I can never tell if you’re extremely clued up about these things or just parroting the techy patter you’ve overheard in PC World. I mean, your Latin and Greek stuff is equally baffling to me, but you flourish your knowledge on these subjects with more imperious ultra-authority, somehow. The computer talk doesn’t thrill me half as much.

Is that 3 lithers including you, Kegboy? Who, who and who?

And hello to all.

I think he means, 'I've almost fixed my computer bar one annoying aspect.'

Actually, he means "I clearly do not know one end of a computer from another, and should not be allowed near one. And if ever you happen to have a grand or so lying around, do not under any circumstances ask me which laptop to buy. I will recommend a supplier which will promptly go bust, leaving you with a machine with a dodgy graphics card and no means whatsoever to fix it".

It seems some workmen are going to be bringing around a welsh dresser tomorrow. My landlords occasionally do this - phone up and say "this is going to happen tomorrow", and then have to be talked down. It's endearing in a very specific sense. Apallingly, I'm a bit tense about having people wandering around the flat without my being there, so may try to get back from work early. Have spent the evening creating a space for it, so my bedroom is groaning under about 300 extra books and as many CDs - it looks like a lumber room and I am am going to find it very depressing until everything is sorted out.

Can the Welsh not dress themselves?

22:13 / 24.03.04
No, no - the dresser is Welsh. It is able to dress others of any nationality.

I wouldn't mind, but I don't want a Welsh dresser in particular. I suspect it will be significantly less useful than a bunch of bookcases. Ah well...

Burn it. Burn it and then pretend the workmen never delivered it. I dare you. And if challenged by your landlord, summon your most magisterial manner and cry ‘who do you think I am, you believe the word of a common workman over me? Meee?! Gentleman, scholar, and respected pillar of an online community!’ etc etc.

Dude, you could totally get away with it. Teach your landlord a lesson for not asking what kind of furniture you’d like.

Why do they want you to have a Welsh Dresser in the first place? Do they think you will like it?

I'm wearing lord of the rings socks.

Sounds like you need a Welsh dresser.

So not funky, Suedehead.

You're just jealous! I get the best Christmas presents.

One day I hope to rock them with a shorts/sandal combo.

Well I'm going to get stoned and watch the second half of Lipstick On You Collar, on video, damnit, not DVD, because I, goddamnit, have a goddamn life, yer F&*!^6g, M$#)@!&+|<%7$ bastahds. I think.

I'm going to try and download bits of Morrissey's new album.
 
 
Olulabelle
22:52 / 24.03.04
Bless. LoR socks and Morrissey?
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
22:53 / 24.03.04
Pah! Fie! I'm gonna sit at work and listen to music, and muse on the fact that someone on the day shift has emailed the entire company asking if anyone has any spare kittens- something I find a trifle disturbing.
 
 
Olulabelle
22:53 / 24.03.04
Um...why? Kittens rock.

22:54 / 24.03.04
As snake food.

22:57 / 24.03.04
Exactly. No mention is made of what she wants these kittens for...
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
22:59 / 24.03.04
Don't mock my socks. They say Frodo on, mutha fucka!
 
 
Olulabelle
22:59 / 24.03.04
She wants kittens because kittens (I repeat) rock. Snakes. Huh, snakes indeed.

I'll tell you what rocks, olulabelle. Mocking Suede's socks rocks.

23:01 / 24.03.04
If only I worked in a library...
 
 
STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
23:04 / 24.03.04
Why? Not that there's anything wrong with libraries, but why particularly?

(And I'm sure the socks are lovely. I've got Bagpuss socks, y'know. lilly got me them for Christmas a couple of years ago.)
 
 
Saint Keggers
23:05 / 24.03.04
I've got wool socks...so I guess its supporting sheep or something like that...
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:06 / 24.03.04
I just think it would complete the whole image of me, right now!

I still don't understand the Late Shift thing.

A library...or a primary school. I imagine the ‘Olulabelle mocking suede’s socks rocks!’ song would go down a storm. I can see you as the sandal-and-sock-wearing bloke with a guitar. After that you can teach a class of seven-year olds to sing 'Heaven knows I'm miserable now'. They'd love you.

23:15 / 24.03.04
Oh my! That image seems so spot on! I might have to write it down for future reference...

Not for me, mind. I'm a young hip kid. I have a trucker cap!*

*note: I do not have a trucker cap.

23:17 / 24.03.04
Mocking suede socks rocks? Who has suede socks? Aren't they really uncomfortable? I wouldn't buy suede socks man, they sound horrible.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!
23:18 / 24.03.04
You made my brain go woosy.
 
 
Bed Head
23:19 / 24.03.04
Surely suede socks go with new suede shoes.*

*note: I do not have, have never had and will never have suede shoes.
