fudge i knew i shouldna mentioned online roleplaying!

why?

crime, terrorism, suicide ... roleplaying has them all beat as the least acceptable dinner table conversation.

thanks for clearing that up anyway. i don't know anyone who plays and it's what i expected.

how's life treating you?

01:56 / 21.02.05

good. No big suprises and no big let downs so really, no complaints. All is well in Kegworld.

Gah. I'm so sorry you have to put up with that shit, GGM. I read the bit about going to the loo in the dark and just wanted to punch something. You're not Anne Frank, ffs.

What's your landlord doing about this?

02:16 / 21.02.05

That sucks...go sick the landlord on her!!

Get a tape recorder and get all this harrassment down as physical evidence.

Goodness Gracious Meme

02:23 / 21.02.05

Thanks all. Am keeping a note of days/times.

Other ppl have suggested the taping, which frankly feels a bit weird and paranoid but might actually be neccessary. ffs.

Am going to speak to my agents tomorrow (building owned by one guy, different managers, and thus far they're been really (surprisingly!) helpful. So I'm gonna go ask their advice/maybe ring CAB)

Have already decided, much as I'm not a fan, if she comes round again and is aggro, I'm calling the police.

02:25 / 21.02.05

ok you could just leave it on 24/7 and drive her batshit crazy.

02:28 / 21.02.05

or maybe contact social services before the police.

Keggers: believe me, I considered leaving it on when I went home for Xmas.

re social services, not a bad suggestion, kinda. I work in connected areas so actually, might ask my supervisor for advice. It's the kind of stuff we hear about alot.

Pulp is helping, gradually, tho!

20:28 / 21.02.05

Sorry Keggers and Temple Wage, for saying hello and then vanishing in a puff of logic last night. Must have fallen asleep!

I'm watching a comedic performance by Caroline Rhea (she of Sabrina The Teenage Witch), I find her oddly attractive.
Though that's neither here no there. Does anyone want to chat?

21:53 / 21.02.05

Hey there! Yeah she cute. But ofcourse everyone from Montreal is.

21:56 / 21.02.05

Ooh you can say that again! My friend Marilyn was born in Montreal and heck if she ain't as cute as they come.

So which one's this from Sabrina, then? One of the older ladies, perhaps? Or were they in Clarissa Explains It All? Forgive my ignorance but I usually watch these programmes with the sound off.

21:58 / 21.02.05

It was the shorter of the Aunts. You know Marilyn?? Tell her I say hi. How's she doing?

22:01 / 21.02.05

Ahh I haven't seen her for a while, but she's atop that adorable pedestal as always by the looks of it.

22:02 / 21.02.05

Ah the chances of us both refering to the same Marilyn wouldbe astronomical.

22:04 / 21.02.05

Hello! I've just been on one of those Jack the Ripper walks around the East End with mono and some friends. It was cool. Especially when it started snowing.

I'm now home and listening to Julian Cope.

I have a youngish and attractive aunt. A friend of mine was gutted when she got married because he'd always wanted to marry her so he could be my evil uncle. I'm quite glad he didn't.

22:06 / 21.02.05

My brother refers to me to my nieces as 'your eeeevil uncle". I think its a laugh riot!

22:15 / 21.02.05

I always get the impression that my niece and nephew probably think of me as the uncle who's always away doing exciting things. I'm not, really. I'm just shit at keeping in touch with my sister. It's just that they always seem to react to me as if I'm exotic, somehow. It may just be all the piercings.

Well, I AM a pirate. Even TangoMango and lilly's daughter says so. And she's dead clever.

22:19 / 21.02.05

My nieces live on the other side of the country so its always a great thing when their uncle arrives. I bring candy and take them shopping for toys.

22:21 / 21.02.05

Stoatie, I've known you for four and a half years and I didn't even know you had a sister. Shame on you! And fie, too.

Mind you, I'm shit at keeping in touch with my brothers too. I've got four nieces and three nephews - at least one of them must think I'm eeevil.

Oh and on a more personal note - Jack The Ripper walk, eh? You could have come to work afterwards, lazy sod!

22:23 / 21.02.05

I'm a bit remiss in that department (and that's something I HAVE to sort out). They seem to find my very existence a novelty. (Bear in mind, they've been raised in the wild by Christians).

22:24 / 21.02.05

BBB- Wedding anniversary, dude. I'm SO not at work.

22:25 / 21.02.05

Oh yes of course. Honestly, mind like a sieve over 'ere.

We were just talking IRL about The Ten Bells pub on Commercial Street, did you pop in for a swift half? And then find your way home through a series of dank, foreboding near-disused alleyways? Wuh huh hahaaaa!

22:27 / 21.02.05

The Ten Bells was where we got shitfaced at the end of the walk. (Every one of those pints was dedicated to Hunter, of course).

22:30 / 21.02.05

Glad to hear it. The dedication that is, obviously, not the suicide.

Just caught the very end of the item on Radio 4 news, missed the name and tried to work out from the context who had died. Didn't like my sadly correct deductions one bit.

Can anyone tell me why BBC1 are showing The Conversation in miniscreenovision? I was going to watchi it, but can only tell what's going on if I press my nose right up to the telly.

22:34 / 21.02.05

'Cause I leave my window
Defenestrate through the night
I follow that moon that shines so bright
My window is a portal to the light
I forget my earthly body now

And I will be absorbed by the moonlight
Absorbed by the rain
Absorbed by the rolling hills
That lead to my front door

COPE IS GOD. GOD, D'YA HEAR ME???

Ahem. Sorry. What were we talking about?

Spatula Clarke

22:35 / 21.02.05

Ha! Bloody typical - as soon as I post that, they suddenly realise that somebody was sat on the wrong button.

How the hell do the various stations always manage to screw screen ratios up so badly? Going to widescreen for the first part of a film, then flicking to 4:3 for the ads and forgetting to go back to wide for the second bit of film, that sort of thing. Do they not employ anyone to actually watch what they're screening?

22:36 / 21.02.05

Hunter S Thompson and then semi-forgotten Coppola gem The Conversation (starring, incidentally, the world's finest actor).

Might want to try fiddling with your TV Spatula, especially if it's a widescreen job. I find that sometimes with mine.
