Weegies, obviously!

La Bamba is blaring in the street outside my work and they're all singing merrily along.

― Madchen, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:17 (seventeen years ago) link

I got sent home from work early to avoid the traffic, hurrah!

The reason people are in Campus East is because they had the brilliant idea of making special posters in Spanish with Sevilla and Espanyol badges on them to attract the fans in. I quite fancy a bit of Spanish-based fun and football tonight, but I am still teh skint (cheers for pints/glasses of coke, OMD-going folks!). Which kind of knacks going to Do Say Make Think as well, damn.

I should be alright for an aldoFAP next Wednesday though.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 15:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I look forward to hearing more about OMD, and also our Spanish chums.

― PJ Miller, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 16:01 (seventeen years ago) link

OMD were equal parts brilliant and ridiculous. Andy McCluskey is still the worst dancer in the world (closely followed by everyone else standing in my line of vision). There's a thread on ILM. It's quite good, as ILM threads go.

Do Say Make Think

Prize for anyone who wants to rearrange these words into the actual name of a band.

Death Minks Okay

Words not letters, ya trumpet.

― ailsa, Wednesday, 16 May 2007 17:06 (seventeen years ago) link

This is a bit of a frightener! I walked down this street today!

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned beer to Grimly Fiendish. We talked about next Friday. Is this still on? Would anyone like to drink beer next Friday? It's a pop league night, for those of that persuasion. It's payday, so I will not be as cadging of free beer as I was on Tuesday.

Let's NOT go to Mono :-)

― ailsa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:18 (seventeen years ago) link

i think so. i have this nagging feeling that i've since committed to something else, but maybe not. i'll check later.

i'm almost gonna suggest westbeer, but it's a bit of a trek for me :/

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:20 (seventeen years ago) link

and i won't be there till 7.30 at the earliest, i guess.

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:21 (seventeen years ago) link

WestBeer is really really near my work.

(I am officially now up for aldo-Champions-League-FAP)

― ailsa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:25 (seventeen years ago) link

What is it with you and the bolding today?

I cannae come out next Friday, I have exams :(

― stet, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:29 (seventeen years ago) link

Grimly has mastered BBcode and is showing off.

You can't possibly have an exam on a Friday night. Come to the pub!

― ailsa, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I have one on Monday morning and am working every other day so must do sums, scratch head etc

― stet, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 17 May 2007 17:32 (seventeen years ago) link

im going to see Ghost at Mono tonight, cld be gd

WANK, i forgot about this. it was in my fucking diary too. shit. how were they?

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

oh they were pretty great, HEAVY psych freak outs w/ more levitational flute and hurdy-gurdy drone interludes, etc - bit louder than either Acid Mothers Temple or Comets on Fire in the same venue

― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 17 May 2007 23:13 (seventeen years ago) link

piss. my loss.

― grimly fiendish, Thursday, 17 May 2007 23:24 (seventeen years ago) link

FUCK! Ghost. Dudez I need to move to Glasgow. This could be bad for my rel'ship.

― byebyepride, Friday, 18 May 2007 03:21 (sixteen years ago) link

I'll be in Italy on Friday, soz.

I think I'll be ready for a return to Mono soon - it must be over a year since we last fapped there.

― Madchen, Friday, 18 May 2007 11:27 (sixteen years ago) link

This happened entirely at random:

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:05 (sixteen years ago) link

I am definitely coming out for Chumps League FAP. Roy may or may not join us and just smile quietly in the corner.

Sporto?

― aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:49 (sixteen years ago) link

rIGHT ON, kEITH!

I NEED SOME HEAVY PSYCH FREAKOUTS

WHY DON'T YOU LIKE MONO?

I HAVE NEVER BEEN, SO I DON'T KNOW.

I THINK I WOULD LIKE IT THOUGH.

― PJ Miller, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:51 (sixteen years ago) link

PJ MiLLER,

I found this to be outrageous:

Quadrophenia 5
My Generation 4
A Quick One 3
Tommy 1
The Who By Numbers 1
It's Hard 0

Odds and Sods 0
Endless Wire 0

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:57 (sixteen years ago) link

I mean 0 for Odds and Sods! FFS!

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 12:57 (sixteen years ago) link

I had not seen that, otherwise I would have set up multiple identities.

Have you "done" Endless Wire, Keith? I think bits of it are quite good, in a way.

― PJ Miller, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:01 (sixteen years ago) link

I did it once. I thought it was quite pish. Maybe I'll give it another go now.

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:02 (sixteen years ago) link

What tunes are good? I guess I could skip the plums bits.

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:03 (sixteen years ago) link

I can only remember that Black Widow's Eyes is particularly bad. I quite like Humphrey Clinker's Piano or whatever it's called, and Man in a Purple Dress. I think the opera bit in general is OK.

But I could be completely wrong. There always seems to be something more pressing to listen to.

I have ordered a new WHO t-shirt though:

Dig?

― PJ Miller, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:15 (sixteen years ago) link

Dig!

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:20 (sixteen years ago) link

Hey I was going to ask if anyone liked Endless Wire on that poll thread. I only got it recently - there are great bits, like the title track and 'We Got A Hit'. Also what a flippin' great intro to 'Fragments' - totally totally bonkers Townshend - *that* weird synth wibbling that he loves and classic opening chords on his Strat. I dunno about some of the other material though - Rog sounds old, very very old. I haven't got my head around the opera yet, probably never will. Townshend's a strange fellow isn't he? Still, that the whole thing exists in 2007 is strangely cheering.

― Dr.C, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:23 (sixteen years ago) link

Funny, yeah, I was just going to say that probably the biggest problem with it, is that it sounds like the cast of Last of the Summer Wine singing it. I liked 'Endless Wire' and 'It's not enough'.

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link

I am appalled that I am the only person to vote for 'The 70s WHO by Numbers' in that poll.

Have none of you ears?!

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:45 (sixteen years ago) link

I want a t-shirt like this:

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 13:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Don't like Who by Numbers that much - sorry! I voted for My Generation, although Who Sell Out is close. I might have gone for Live at Leeds if that was in there.

― Dr.C, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link

He he... Only joking. I suspect, though, that this is the same as most other polls, and the problem is that most of the people who voted have probably only heard "The Who Sell Out" and "Who's Next".

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 14:14 (sixteen years ago) link

This is why polls are shit. Did your pub focus group not tell you that?

Sporto is good for me, aldo, when are you getting here (or, more specifically, there)? I have learned my lesson from teh last time and have taken Thursday morning off as a precautionary measure.

― ailsa, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:09 (sixteen years ago) link

That's right Ailsa, polls are shit because most people who vote on a poll have only heard TWO WHO albums.

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:12 (sixteen years ago) link

Funnily enough, I only have two Who albums: Greatest Hits and Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy. I bought the latter because it has a B&S cover on it.

― Madchen, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:16 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't own any Who albums, but I don't vote in polls either. I too was only joking. Look, smiley ---> :-)

(Polls aren't shit, really, but I do like a good moan about irrelevancies sometimes at the end of a crap day)

― ailsa, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:19 (sixteen years ago) link

3 disc greatest hits from avalanche for 5.99 some years ago. live at leeds for a fiver from fopp. both good. all i need. i saw a band at tut's the other night called the draytones (i think) that wanted to be the who, though.

― Gukbe, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:21 (sixteen years ago) link

I was joking too, Ailsa, look ---> :)

'>' would have fucked up on old ILX.

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:25 (sixteen years ago) link

By the way, you don't need to apologise every time you say something bad about ILX! I had months to prepare for all of that!

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link

(not that it really helped)

― Keith, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:27 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm only apologising here because I am amongst friends and I didn't mean it as a thing that was bad about ILX anyway.

The fact that I can use > and < for fake html and pointing at things is the best thing about BBcode!

― ailsa, Friday, 18 May 2007 17:30 (sixteen years ago) link

I will be there at about 7, I think. Landing at about 5, time to get to the hotel and grab a quick eat.

― aldo, Friday, 18 May 2007 18:04 (sixteen years ago) link

OK. I will be out of work at about five - that'll give me time to go home and get dinner and come back out rather than hanging around the town for two hours.

(Unless onimo or someone else fancies keeping me company in the pub for a couple of hours and a dodgy beer'n'burger)

― ailsa, Friday, 18 May 2007 19:41 (sixteen years ago) link

I could maybe finish a bit early and grab something to eat with you - depending on how busy I am and what time I get in at. I'm on a flexitime mission at the moment and I've become a total slave to the clock.
