Quantum that was funny. I like this bit :

"NASA is also reviewing its intake and on-going psychological screening for astronaut candidates and astronauts"

They should be reviewing a lot more than that.

17:19 / 27.07.07

To be fair, if I was about to be strapped to a million gallons of rocket fuel and hurled into orbit, I'd have a tipple too.

I'm going to a party full of drinking games where I, like Ford Prefect before me, will play to lose.

*blinks* drunk astronauts. Why not?

01:37 / 29.07.07

To paraphrase Global Frequency, I sure as hell ain't going up in that thing sober! Actually, if you look at NASA logs? I'm pretty sure Buzz was still repeating that under his breath when they were ready to set down on the moon.

That time again. That time when all my FaceScrabble partners have left for home. When I know there's noone out there gonna send me a funny email. When I'm still in my office at quarter to six on a Friday, sweating (heat has come to London at long fukken last) and cursing at the stacks of papers that I'm supposed to not only read but digest and understand and goddammned if I'm not obliged to use said digest and said understanding to analyse, expose and critique that codpiece Ulrich Beck's hypothesis which is popularly known as "the risk society". All in the light of a minor psychological theory of what constitutes common sense known as "social representations theory".

Now don't get me wrong. Normally I'd be jumping all kinds of hoops to get at the chance to actually be handed good wedges of money to do this kind of thing. But I've just had a somewhat unpleasant lunch with my SO. My finances are a shambles, or near enough. I'm behind with work. My hair sucks. I fear for the emergence of middle-age spread. All this moaning I'm doing reminds me of a show on BBC3 yesterday about the c-word. Yes, that word. I feel like applying said term to myself. But above all, I feel like a fucking drink. Who's with me? Gah.

Dare I say, I'm here in a campsite in Ljubljana, having endured a day of rain and we are enjoying a beer with a very chatty Frenchman. Who rocks. I shouldn't dip in like this, but damn life is good. I hope that all in London are having a grand time.

Thanks for lifting my mood Tabitha, it so happens that we're going to Slovenia next week!

Considering, I dunno, I'm fucking MELTING, I think after my vigourous constitutional--yes, yes, I am still going on my walk in 93 degree heat--I'm going down to my local and having a drink. Or three.

Or until I get kicked out.

Well, today my girlfriend came from home from work and admitted that yes, she's not in love with me any more and it's been that way for a long time now, and that she wants to deal with this before she starts to really hate me. So we talked about it for a while, discussed whether we should consider selling our house and going our separate ways, before we ordered a pizza, fired up an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and a bottle of Sailor Jerry's, and had a better evening together than we've had in months. Funny how things work out.

Kali, Queen of Kitteh

22:45 / 03.08.07

Christ, mate, I hope things are still that way after Sailor Jerry has left the building. Best of luck.

15:48 / 04.08.07

Fucking hell, Tran/sfer. As someone who also recently went through an out-the-blue break I'm gutted for you. Even if you can't patch things up at least it ended with a good night (and possibly friendship) if nothing else. Taketh care.

I'm just about to go out for a rockin' house party that my friend's friend's parents (dog's cat's lover etc) throw every year apparently. Should be a page for the autobiog, at the least.

17:26 / 04.08.07

I made dinner for people tonight, and they actually liked my cooking. Granted it was only a salad and grilled mustardcheese sandwiches but still,

this calls for a celebration!

, and I just might listen to AC/DC tonight.

Thanks for the VOC, Kali and Triplets, but maybe I should have been clearer - it wasn't any bolt from the blue. This has been coming for most of the last eighteen months, if not longer. It's only my dependable gutlessness that meant it was she, and not me, who pulled the plug.

To keep pace with the spirit of this thread, I'm presently on the delicious Boddington's and catching up with World War Hulk. As someone who gave the entirety of Civil War and what followed the swerve for no good reason other than Marvel-related ennui I'm enjoying it immensely. Simple comics are what my brain needs.

22:35 / 15.08.07

Quite drunk, currently enjoying a 45 minute long Yugi-Oh-esque battle royal with one of my photography models using nothing but the power of our accumulated MSN display pics.

AHA! Slipped down to page 3 have we? No more I tell you!

Weekend in and weekend out I abuse alcohol. Why should this be any different? 'Specially it being pay-day.

Having yet to decide on the particular poison to shrink my liver with, I invite you, dear reader, to suggest the manner in which I shall shorten my days.

Ginger wine. Ginger wine to be drunk on a beautiful scottish island is what I shall be purchasing this evening. And woe betide the fool who would stand in my way.

I've been drinking ALL AFTERNOON, and now it's apparently evening, though I'm not quite sure how that happened, I fully intend to CARRY ON DRINKING.

DRINKING IS GOOD.

Ace, in fact. A winRAR is drinking. Yeah! YEAH! FUCK YEAH!!! Booze and Hank III. The BEST anything EVER.

20:14 / 01.09.07

I am currently winning with an enormous bottle of vodka and season two of The Wire.

I am glad that you are winning too, Stoatie.

My media player has now seen fit to give me some Diamanda.

When this track finishes I'm watching Tsukamoto movies.

YES.

I have more beer it cost 24 cents a can (about 18p) BEER YES.

I don't want to bum out the thread, keep on having a good time. For me, my cat is still missing, and I'm really distraught but just about resigned to the idea he is gone. So I'm thinking seriously of drinking alot tonight. I apologize if I drunk post later, I'll try to restrain myself, and hopefully just shut the FUCK UP! He's such a good cat. I raise my bottle to him:
Here's to Puddle.

21:36 / 01.09.07

Cheers

Shit, I shall drink to your cat and his safe return.

21:54 / 01.09.07

I've got a bastardcold coming on so no drinks this end, but one of you guys down one for Tsuga from me.

22:07 / 01.09.07

Thanks you all (and thanks for getting married, Boboss, so you could have the stag where that picture of Gumbitch was taken, as is one of the few things I've been able to laugh at today). Here's to you, and to you all. And to me finding some vicodin I had.

22:29 / 01.09.07

Tsuga, recently you've become one of my top posters, man, so actually: thank you.

Tonight I'll drink to Tom C and Cal, who're putting the ULTIMAT MITE OF TEH BANHAMER back in the undead hands of the mighty Barbelith while I'm stuffing my face with chili salt fried squid! WOOOHOOO!

Happy Dave Has Left

16:19 / 14.09.07

I'm off drinking. I will raise a silent glass to Tom and Cal and alla you lovely folks.

17:47 / 14.09.07

I am soon to enjoy drinking.

Sadly I will not be stuffing my face with exciting chili squid niceness.

17:48 / 14.09.07

I will, however, be raising a glass.

19:39 / 14.09.07

Chilli salt fried squid is my new favourite food, and I've never even tasted it. I have tasted all the components separately (including fried) but never in such a mouth watering combination.

Back on topic, I am drinking Glenmorangie again, as I heard a rumour that I may get a pay rise. This would take me into the top 90% of the population earnings wise, leaping ahead of children who get pocket money and dead people.

Went to thye beach today after the dentist and watched a bunch of kite surfers doing their thing. I feel sand, sun and salt blasted so the booze is going down well.
