I want port! No, actually I want Brandy. A 5-year-old local brandy is only 8 euro. 10 year old brandy is a bit more.

I love Spain.

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

22:33 / 15.01.05

I want whisky. I've got whisky.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH HAHAHAHA!

And it's quality, and all. Not that it matters to one such as myself.

The drink of the Devil!

I'm very drunk and a little ill feeling and it doesn't even feel that late although that train journey I took seemed to last for hours.

I have gin, but no tonic. I went to a post work party last summer, but it was on a project that I joined half way through, so I didn't really know anyone, and they were all bonding, so I just had the free bar for company. I drank a pint of gin before stumbling back to the guest house through the cornish countryside in a series of flashbacks, climbing into bed, crawling to the foot of the bed and vomiting. My taxi came early the next morning, so I didn't have time to clean up, instead opting to drape a towel over the pile of sick.

I also have Absinth!

What are you talking to us for, if you have absinthe? You can talk to pixies if you have absinthe. Space pixies. They'll clean up your vom if you sing the right song, apparently.

And, why isn’t there a barbelith thread about the space probe? I almost exploded with joy when I switched on the radio yesterday and the first headline on the news is “Space probe lands on Saturn’s moon,” now I’m starting to think the whole thing is only happening in my head.

Port: the drink of questionsquestionsuestions.

HAHAHA!!!

I just saw an advert in one of the Sunday supplements for a Kama Sutra thingy for your mobile phone with the tagline "the secrets of lovemaking in the palm of your hand".
Quality.

Yeah, that space probe's way cool. Seen the pictures? Smart.

Benny the Ball

22:49 / 15.01.05

It's very weak absinthe, only 55% or something. It's rubbish, I think that it's just Ouzo with an inferiority complex.

Remember,

All these worlds are yours except Europa. Attempt no landings there

I'm soooooo gay in love with George Clooney.

Benny, you should watch Out Of Sight. One of the few times I've managed to empathise with Jennifer Lopez.

There it goes, the bitchiest remark I'll ever make!

Hello all, let's get pissed (in our MINDS).

Benny the Ball

22:55 / 15.01.05

I wish that I could wear a suit that well. Out of Sight is great. I can't wait for Oceans 12, Syriana, buying Solaris etc.

Yeah, that space probe's way cool. Seen the pictures? Smart.

Dude, did you see the pictures on the official ESA site? Before the photos came back from the real space probe which Oh my god is on the MOON OF SATURN like right now, they had a gallery of ‘artists impressions’, but the artists they’d chosen were schoolkids from all over Europe. Obviously on drugs. It was a stoke of genius.

I threw the Band Aid 20 single into a roaring fire. Now that was a stoke of genius!

sorry

I have had a crap day at work, and if anyone would like to give me a hug, I surely would appreciate it.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:31 / 15.01.05

Have a hug from me.

Bed Head

23:35 / 15.01.05

Plus: everybody here thinks you’re really quite outrageously cool, if that helps any.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

Why is it that even if I'm at work, hearing "The Host of Seraphim" by Dead Can Dance always makes me feel like I'm having a full-on religious experience?

Brigade du jour

23:38 / 15.01.05

You don't realise what a sensory deprivation experience it is, listening to music on headphones, until someone taps you on the shoulder to ask you something and you jump three inches out of your seat.

Of course you can have a hug Sally. It's true that I'll hug anybody, but I'll make this one extra special and warm.

Mazarine

Thank you all so much. Retail may not be hell, but it's definitely heck.

Brigade du jour

23:56 / 15.01.05

You can talk about it if you want. Or not if you don't want. Was it a shitty customer? A shitty boss? Both?

Well anyway, I'm sure there are a number of shoulders here that you're welcome to dab with exorcised tears.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:59 / 15.01.05

Retail does indeed suck.

Bed Head

00:11 / 16.01.05

Thing is, you can almost see how retail could be *so* nice. All this shiny stuff in the stockroom, all the ways you can set it up and display it. The big problem is, customers are completely, utterly, irredeemably evil. I think maybe retail would be ideal, for anyone, if only you could just shut the doors and wander around an empty shop at your own pace, moving things in and out of the stockroom according to your whims.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:13 / 16.01.05

Just remember, the customer is always shite.

Mourne Kransky

00:35 / 16.01.05

Oh, I'm about explode with happiness aft6er a splendid dub poet at Duckie (Crisis) and then Eddie Tenpole Tudor doing an acoustic set with great humour, but that could just be the vodka and the Readers' Wifes speaking...

Ah, Titan! How mega is that! On a par with Neil Armstrong stumbling onto the moon. If there were a slightly ashamed bone in my body it would because we really weren't going to go out tonight becuasswed G was out last might and was very hung over but we woke up at 10 from a wee comfy snooze and decided to go out across the park to Duckie anyway, after I'd told lovely, lovely Cherry Bomb that we didn't think we would. Oh, je suis désolé...

Would have been so much fun if she had been there but there's always next week - which will still be Poetry Month at Duckie.

Ah, more vodka, must go and drink it.

Mourne Kransky

00:38 / 16.01.05

shit spelling and everything else, sorry! But there you go... Wait till I've been to Barcelona for a weekend with les Mordants - I will make no sense whatsoever.

Hey! Garage!

Now, if I'd thought sleaze would have been there with his giant hands, I'd have waited till he got here to join us on suburban rail...

Wait till we get to the new house in a week or two and you'll be sorting us out for wireless networking too, Oh Gadget King. We are jealous as fuck.

Met a woman tonight who knows Neil Tennant and Kate Bush. Should I just humble myself and become her best friend just to effect introductions?

Hey Xoc, go for it! I did that once and ended up buying Glenn Tilbrook a pint.

Cower before my touching-the-hem-of-celebrity exploits ...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:29 / 16.01.05

Do it, Xoc. Even being within a mile of Kate Bush would rock fairly substantially.

Mourne Kransky

01:37 / 16.01.05

I would have on the floor cowering berfore Glenn Tilbrook, offering him a pint of bodily fluids. She has been reliable in the past, this wench, in that she took us to The Ivy the other night and her man played on 99 Red Balloons and various Bushery and still lives in St John's Wood off the royalties. I am so deeply shallow

Brigade du jour

01:39 / 16.01.05

Not as shallow as me - I don't even have any Squeeze records, or particularly like them or anything.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:43 / 16.01.05

Go on, Xoc, mention that you went to the Ivy again. I dares ya.
Nah, only jokin'. I'm jealous, really.

Mourne Kransky

01:43 / 16.01.05

Fuck, that's all the vodka finished and we have no cool drugs in reserve or anything. Well, nothing for it but oif to bed and filthy sex. Mmmmmmmmm...

Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

02:05 / 16.01.05

Shhhh.

Mourne Kransky

03:17 / 16.01.05

Point taken, Stoatie. Obviously still a bit startled to find myself amid the beau monde on that occasion. Shall hemceforth entertain you all with tales of Tom's (SerboCroat) Diner down the road...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:20 / 16.01.05

I just ate pie.
I like pie.

Oh, and btw... MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE FRIEND OF KATE BUSH. DO IT.
