I should have been clearer: I owe him.
Oh. Well. In that case, tell the big baby it's just money, he can come get it after you've caught a nap and some supper.

You're killing me now Jack. I got tears of blood rolling down my face, I'm so happy (seriously). Where were you earlier? I needed you then. But this.... "body" of mine is too frail to go on much longer..... No, no, leave me here (swoon). Everybody's time must come and who am I to defy God?...

"Must leave screen, must leave screen, must....."

Bed, I think you should definitely have a Rhinestone suit. Make it a priority.

Hello... So whats the deal. The 'lith goes down for a while and when it comes back we throw out all rules and regulations? All form and decorum? 9 pages! Nine. I counted five. And now, this usurper Lateshift? My how the mighty have fallen..

How is everyone?

Can we get matching rhinestone suits and parade around like a gang?

And also FIGHT PUNKS WITH CHAINS.

Hello Keggers. I am listening to BBC radio waiting for updates from Birmingham, they've evacuated the whole town centre (20,000 people apparently) and it's a bit scary.

I don't know why your lateshift has been usurped, I liked your summary of the other.
 
 
Olulabelle
22:16 / 09.07.05
Please all get matching rhinestone suits. And come to the next Lith picnic in them.

22:20 / 09.07.05
Why have they evacutated everyone? Still to do with the bombings?

If the next 'lith picnic is as sunny as the last one I went to, we'll blind onlookers with our matching rhinestone suits.We will be Teh Shiny!1!! (not that that's necessarily a bad thing)

New bombs. Possibly. Enough of a threat to clear the whole city centre out. I've posted a link to the news in the London bombs thread.

A priority? I can do that. I can prioritise things. Especially sparkly things. Ooh, sparkly. Not too sure about the FIGHTING PUNKS with CHAINS thing, though. You do that, suedey, I'll drive the car.

How the devil are you all tonight, by the way? I’m lamenting a complete and utter lack of booze and contemplating my clippers. So to speak. It’d be soooo easy to shave my head right now, it’d feel soooo good. But! Last year I did the head-shaving thing on the spur of the moment, and managed to frighten my niece when I turned up looking completely different.

She was alarmed because she thought I was someone new who’d replaced her uncle Bed; someone who sounded just like him and was wearing his clothes. Half an hour later, we’re all cool, but it’s really not a very nice feeling, cutting your hair and frightening small kids. It's a bit of a downer.

hehe. That's the plan for Scrubbs' homecoming bash then - party in the park with rhinestone excess! Shininess abounds! Sounds like a plan.

I can't shave my head anymore. Because underneath all my hair lies a receding hairline and... grey hair on both sides of my head, above my ears.

I need to hide it, even from myself.

I've been watching Gone In 60 Seconds, and I have to say, I've been finding it really hard to not root for Ecclestone.

What’s wrong with grey hair? I’ve got ooodles of grey hair. Grey hair rocks. It’s scientific FACT.

Hell, yes! Keep an eye out in the Gathering in the next week or so whilst I get it all in hand...

Oh, just quickly, before I tootle off this virtual coil, can I ask a quick newbie question? No.... Well, you see I was reading back though loads of old posts and threads (etc), and I wondered if you've ever tried to do a Barbelth Magazine. I guess the wondering notebooks are far better than a mere ordinary "glossy" (the poorer likes of which I haven't bought since 'Spirit' magazine disappeared from the shelves), and I can see that Barbelith is a published record anyway; but there's bloody loads of untapped (or wasted, or pre-occupied, or busy, or whatever) Guinness on this site, and print does have some advantages.

Just wondering. Please forgive me if my research skills have let me down once again and I've overlooked something like Kate Reid's character with epilepsy in the 'The Andromeda Strain'...

Oh, and grey hair can look amazing. Look at French Parisian's in their middle-age. I always looked forward to looking more distinguished but as they're arriving they look more like I've been making a clumsy effort at painting a white ceiling.

Er... right, that's it: to paraphrase my Mum, "I'm tired and I'm showing off". So I'm gonna finally love you and leave ya. I've got away with another day without any new bruises or scars, so I guess I can claim Saturday as a success and call it a night.

One love and g'night duckies.

I have a malon streak (not quite Jason Blood style, but a definite patch of wavey grey) and have been grey-ing or grey-ish since I was 14. Can't grow a beard to save my life though.

Hey Xoc 'n' 'Nesh - how did the move go?

23:01 / 09.07.05
Cool. Do you look like Colonal Nick Fury? Get a patch.

Right, I really must be going....
 
 
Benny the Ball
23:02 / 09.07.05
Sadly, I look more like a careless ceiling painter. But I do have an eye infection at the moment, so a patch might not be a bad idea.

Ooh, he’s right, Benny. An eyepatch. And start smoking those little cigarillos. Nick Fury as played by Errol Flynn: what a groovy look.

23:09 / 09.07.05
I've also had a few friends with pure "Silver Fox" manes and I've always been a little jealous. F**king sexy if you ask me, Not that I'm a weirdo gerontafiliac, or anything. I'm not that old, yet.

Now will someone please throw me out? Sheesh!.... No, seriously, I've been sitting cross-legged for half-an hour now, my knees have seized up, and I'm stuck....

I thought we were supposed to wear white badges. Oh, and erm, "Picnic"? You know that means "free food" where I'm from, don't-cha? So...if I've managed to re-oil my joints in time ("Oh! The pain!"), can I come?.. (creep, creep...) Can I be in your gang? I'm a good shot and I know loads of swear words. I make 'em up all the time, honest. Come on.....

"Let's smash things up!"

Wow. I'm really glad I was bored this morning and decided to read last night's Shiftings (and keggers is right, you know. You better believe it's NINE pages. N Y N Nine.)

Otherwise I'd never have learned of Jack's all-purpose comic review. Possibly the best thing I've seen in that forum in ages.

President Nimrod's cool, too.

The white badges thing never worked. Rhinestone suits are actually far more noticeable.

Funnily enough, I accidentally put Rhinestone Cowboy on the jukebox in the pub the other day.

yeah, "accidently"...
