DAmnit I posted that cocktail asking thing to the wrong thread, we are probably in big trouble now.

What, is Ally going to shout at me again, then get all her DC howler monkeys to line up and throw shit at me for having a different sense of humour?

Whatever, I want blender booze milkshakes now. To the point where I cannot concentrate on making graphs in Excel. Who on earth reads graphs in excel anyway? Bah. Pure maths was good enough for the last FD.

Pls to not hurry too fast I have to unbury my floor.

Seefeel came up on my ipod yesterday! Ah, happy memories.

― Mark C, Thursday, 5 April 2007 15:41 (seventeen years ago) link

They are not going to let me leave for at least another hour. :-(

And then I must source pizzas.

I have brought all my pedals so I may need to take over your entire kitchen with my wub.

How do you do a chart in Excel anyway? Where is pie chart man when I need him?

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 15:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Select the data, choose insert chart follow the wizzard.

― Ed, Thursday, 5 April 2007 15:52 (seventeen years ago) link

WILL THE WIZZARD BLOW HIS HORN??!?

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 15:53 (seventeen years ago) link

I hate the chart wizard in Excel, but I haven't found anything better for doing them.

(oh, apart from my dissertation, when I did them all in Gnuplot from text files)

Anyway, that's me off for the weekend, now, to Liverpool. Have a good eggy/chocolate/bun weekend, Watercooler!

― Forest Pines, Thursday, 5 April 2007 15:55 (seventeen years ago) link

Have a good time in L'pool, FP!

I have done my chart. Blimey, that was easy. (though I am somewhat disappointed at the lack of horn blowage.)

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 15:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmmmm. Work is strange.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 5 April 2007 16:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh. My. God.

I just got birthdayed.

After complaining that no one in the office would ever ever even remember my birthday or get me a card, I didn't just get a card, but a present too and everyone singing while I crawled under my desk in embarrassement.

Aw, that was really sweet.

My present was the BIGGEST COFFEE MUG IN THE WORLD. Seriously, it's like a pint sized coffee mug. Just an excuse to bring my percolater from home and fill it up every morning. Awesome.

― CharlieNo4, Thursday, 5 April 2007 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

also, same day as Echo's?

― CharlieNo4, Thursday, 5 April 2007 16:09 (seventeen years ago) link

(No, my actual birthday isn't until the 10th, but I took next week off so I wouldn't have to deal with spending my birthday in the ofice.)

― Masonic Boom, Thursday, 5 April 2007 16:12 (seventeen years ago) link

HI DERE, I'm Big Brother, I'll be watching you :-D

― ailsa, Thursday, 5 April 2007 16:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi all. I've not been around as we've been in the recording studio for the past two days. It's going pretty well! We're doing five songs, and we managed to get ALL the drums and all the bass done on Wednesday, and all the guitars done yesterday. Today's vocals, so I'm trying to psych myself up, and maybe mentally undo all the smoking I've been doing...

This does mean that I'm almost certainly not able to come to poptimism tonight. Have fun everyone who is, and even those who aren't.

Hi Goobs!

I'm going for a cycle today - it's such a beautiful day and I at least need to remind my biking muscles what to do before I start commuting next week. Last summer - I rode about 3 days out of 5 - I tend to go full pelt and literally don't have the strength left to do it every day. Is this dumb? Should I take it easier and try to do it every day?

― Mark C, Friday, 6 April 2007 10:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh - I have signed up for a new singing group in Putney! I'm sure it'll be cheesy but I haven't used my voice in ages, and maybe it could be a stepping stone to a more "proper" choir of some kind.

― Mark C, Friday, 6 April 2007 10:42 (seventeen years ago) link

do it every day. take it easy in the morning and come home full pelt.

i am about to go for a run but i am still sleepy and have just come out of a buffytrance.

― emsk, Friday, 6 April 2007 10:50 (seventeen years ago) link

It is snowing here in moscow :(

― mitya, Friday, 6 April 2007 11:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Hope everyone had a happy easter!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Sunday, 8 April 2007 23:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Easter was great, although I believe I have drunk a whole case of wine this weekend. Up here in norfolk we have ducklings and baby moorhens (moorchicks?) and bunnies on the lawn in the sunshine.

Tonight I am travelling back to winter on the shores of the baltic.

― Ed, Monday, 9 April 2007 06:46 (seventeen years ago) link

We had a veritable blizzard yesterday, but luckily it was warm enough (plus 2 today) that it's mostly just traces today. For some reason, I have never noticed this Easter holiday disjuncture before - very strange.

― mitya, Monday, 9 April 2007 07:01 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi Mitya & Ed!

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 9 April 2007 11:40 (seventeen years ago) link

God I'm bored. I'm the only one in at work in my entire dept today.

― treefell, Monday, 9 April 2007 11:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Having to work on a Bank Holiday sucks. Not that I'm doing so today, but I have in the past. My husband's working away just now - in Dundee for three days, God love him :-(

― ailsa, Monday, 9 April 2007 11:51 (seventeen years ago) link

Awww. Hope you had as nice an easter as you could Ailsa.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 9 April 2007 12:07 (seventeen years ago) link

I think I'll probably somehow survive independently until tomorrow night on my own, though evidently I am spending my time weeping and pining and desperate for his return to allow my to enjoy myself properly. Still, at least I'm not in Dundee.

(answer, yes, very nice thank you. I ate nice food and drank a lot of wine and watched Zoolander and this afternoon I am going to teh pub)

― ailsa, Monday, 9 April 2007 12:12 (seventeen years ago) link

MONDAY hi dere.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Hi Ned! Did you have a nice Easter weekend?

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:15 (seventeen years ago) link

I saw Grindhouse, ergo yes, yes I did.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 9 April 2007 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Wide awake in helsinki. This hotel is pretty swanky. I did a mix of the spangle maker over the baltic, or rather started one. It sounded pretty good just with everything set to 0, but i've spent dometime messing around with the bass so it fits better with TISSP's guitar parts, next job is to lift the vocals which need to retain thier sparkle.

― Ed, Monday, 9 April 2007 21:17 (seventeen years ago) link

okay people the holiday is over. back to goofing off!

― mitya, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 09:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Holiday over indeed, although you wouldn't know it looking at our team. The reporting server is having a few issues, so we're staring at the screen, hoping that IS will fix it soon. I've got shit I need to do!

― The Wayward Johnny B, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 09:13 (seventeen years ago) link

And a Happy Birthday to Kate! Who may or may not be celebrating at home listening to lots of Hawkwind up loud.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 11:29 (seventeen years ago) link

yes! happy birthday!

― nathalie, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 11:44 (seventeen years ago) link

w/e off was great. Being back at work sux0r, though.

― Pashmina, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 11:45 (seventeen years ago) link

― mitya, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 12:14 (seventeen years ago) link

mark, 2 lots of results are up on ft now.

― emsk, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 13:50 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha ha ha, that's more like it. Frances and I had a massive drunken rant about how much she HATED Bob Dylan last night between all the wibbling spacerock and synth recording. It was great.

She's a convert to Steve Hillage loving now, but she always had a thing for French Prog. Hah!

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 10 April 2007 13:53 (seventeen years ago) link

This hotel has bicycles one can borrow, I may not come home. It's all dark wood, brown leather, red vases and white linen.

Work was frustrated by some damaged hardware. I'm going to go out and enjoy the cold sunshine and try and find a dinner location with a sunset, before coming home and doing some more mixing.
