Hey, does anybody know if we can use CSS styling in our posts? I tried on that previous one, but the styling didn't show up in the preview.

alas

00:46 / 27.01.05

Goodnight my melty phoneless friend.

Anyone around? I just spent almost two hours trying to finagle the damn airline booking system to make reservations to Vancouver. Now that that hell is taken care of...

Hi again everybody (wots not gone to bed that is)

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:29 / 27.01.05

I'm still around.
Two hours? That's a lot of finagling...

Saint Keggers

02:42 / 27.01.05

yup...they're set to 'evil'.

unheimlich manoeuvre

02:47 / 27.01.05

hello peeps mighty fine late shift you got here!

nights at the council, for me ... AGAIN

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

02:51 / 27.01.05

Nights At The Council... a magical realist work of bureaucratic whimsy by Angela Carter?

unheimlich manoeuvre

03:13 / 27.01.05

if only...

there is far too many urinary infections and too little whimsy in my life/job.

how's you Stoatie?
where's Keggers?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

03:18 / 27.01.05

I think he may still be finagling...

Yeah, I'm good... entering the home stretch of my night at work... listening to Tom Waits... yeah, could be a lot worse.

unheimlich manoeuvre

03:28 / 27.01.05

brushing aside the wanton grasp of the promiscious paperwork pixie ze charged on hir mighty ... charger to Hayes-not-on-Wye. holding the magic masterkey of OPENING ze mightily let in the AMBULANCE CREW OF LEGEND.
the damsel they on the floor in her boudoir.
"I can't get up" breathed the lady all tussled hair and colostomy bag.
"Only the kiss of an Ambulance driver will aid me."

...

see, I got Carter down pat! actually maybe I'm channeling Jilly Cooper.

work could be worse. which Waits album? the Waits thread in Music got me listening to him. Rain Dogs is excellent.

The new one- it's got some nice discordant stuff which is good for keeping you awake at your desk!
Yeah, Rain Dogs fucking rules- it's one of my favourites.

unheimlich manoeuvre

good night/morning Stoatie.

and when bagpuss went to sleep, they all went to sleep.

When writing in the snow..I prefer the 'peeing in morse code' technique.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

21:20 / 27.01.05

Evening, keggers... I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

Saint Keggers

21:31 / 27.01.05

no.. I was at this site: HERE and it inspired that thought...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

21:35 / 27.01.05

That's an ace site!

Saint Keggers

21:39 / 27.01.05

Thats what you get when you have 'ace' friends.
Huggles to the lot of 'em!

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

22:13 / 27.01.05

Wow. I've just done the "allocation of work" thing for the evening, and now the news has started coming in it looks like I've got sod all to do, cos none of my clients are interested in any of tonight's news! Okay, so I'm gonna have to reorganise things a bit or it'd be unfair, but for the next few minutes I'm gonna bask in the joy of having very little work to do!

alas

22:39 / 27.01.05

I have never been able to pee so literarily in my life. It's almost like being loved for my knickers.

Papess

22:45 / 27.01.05

Thank you Keggers for that. You know, I've always wanted to try writing my name in pee, in the snow. It's not easy. It takes talent. Especially, when you suffer from severe nomenclature.

I'm sticking to short names from now on.

alas

22:56 / 27.01.05

hello, Makki...!

I'm just sittin here watching the wheels...

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:00 / 27.01.05

See, I have the opposite problem. Yes, I'm a bloke, so theoretically I could piss my name in the snow... if we ever got any.

Papess

23:02 / 27.01.05

Hello Alas! Me too, wheels and all...Soon to be at work tho.

Stoats, we have a ton. Come over and mark your territory. We have two.

Papess

23:04 / 27.01.05

hello, Makki...!

Why do I suddenly feel as if I need to get a seaweed wrap?

*winks at alas*

I think I need to scoot off. Later, shifters!

Brigade du jour

23:14 / 27.01.05

Hello everybody!

We're just saying random (if there is such a thing) favourite words out loud. So far I've produced 'bollocks', 'plunder', 'tender' and 'extraneous'.

Anyone else care to join in?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:16 / 27.01.05

COCK!!!

Ahem.

Brigade du jour

23:16 / 27.01.05

Excellent! Ah I knew 'twas a matter of mere time.

SUPERFLUOUS

alas

23:37 / 27.01.05

"tender" is a great word, as an adjective, not a verb. Or a noun. (Anything preceded by "legal" is problematic.)

and, in answer to Stoatie's exclamation, I like the word "cunt."

It's such a happy word.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:39 / 27.01.05

I've just fallen in love with the word "troons". Okay, it was a mis-spelling of "troops", but I was sat there going "Troons? Troons? We're sending some more Troons to Iraq? Should I worry?"

alas

23:48 / 27.01.05

Troon. Sounds vaguely Scots to me.

I'm feeling that peculiar sort of melancholy that red wine combined with a grant proposal deadline brings on. I imagine my ancestors, huddled around a fire for warmth, drinking from a horn, listening to the tribal accounting offering the estimated budget and objectives of the planned project for hunting elk in the northern quadrant... It makes me feel so warm and deeply connected to what's most important in our humanity...

alas

23:49 / 27.01.05

damn. I hate it when poor typing spoils a post. "tribal accountant" dammit. 'Twas supposed to evoke a shaman with eye-glasses slightly askew, but . . . well, the joke's lost now.

bitchiekittie

23:58 / 27.01.05

the tribal accountant sounds kinda cute, in a musky sort of way.

I like "troons" as well, but perhaps only because they sound as if they might be sweets. mmm, sweets.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:05 / 28.01.05

Sweets... I may have to pay a visit to the chocolate machine...

alas

00:06 / 28.01.05

Stoatie, do you actually work at Willie Wonka's? Admit it; this whole newspaper reading job is a ruse.

A ruse is a ruse is a ruse is a ruse, as Gertrude Stein once said . . .
