But you won't have, enough of this crazy chat missy! :smile: At least you'll be doing fun stuff to keep your mind off results though? Listen to "Sex Machine" by James Brown when you get worried, it's such a ridiculous song that it'll take your mind off things. (It works, for some really, really odd reason)

takes your mind of results a whole lot more effectively

Well of course, but if it was just you and your ipod it might be a bit difficult... not to mention uncomfortable.

I'd just be concerned about the logistics of it if it was a guy.... I think we should change topic now, we're getting into a weird area and so is the ipod, by the sounds of things.

Only till thursday! We tried to get tickets for that, but there were none left :frown: seeing Billy Elliot tomorrow which is meant to be quite good?


Haven't seen it but heard good things about it. You planning to be really touristy? In which case go for the art galleries - Tate Britain & Tate Modern are good - and things like the Tower of London. Alternatively Oxford Street, Bond Street and Covent Garden are good for shopping. Great music shop called fopp by Cambridge Circus. Charing Cross Road is good for music shops and some decent bookshops (Foyles springs to mind). Boating in Hyde Park is a good laugh, alternatively you can get a boat down the Thames - there is a service that goes Tate to Tate. Loads to do really.

I think you're an alcoholic. Also Henry's bar is a good'un for cocktails and their happy hours seem to last like 4 or 5 hours.

That's even more fun (provided valuables are safely onshore).

That's the thing with going out with techies or ventures, generally one of us will have a Leatherman or similar which can undo bolts...

Edit: There's a sign by the door to Gardies which is secured by only three screws. It says "Take Away" on it in big letters. Many's the time I've been tempted to do exactly that...


Hehe, I have been tempted to bring a spanner with me when I go out, but i'd never get into a club with it in my pocket...

There is also a sign in the middle of norfolk somewhere, its for a lane called 'nowhere lane'. Ive always wanted that sign. Although I would love to have a 'warning: thieves about' sign!

I fell in at a recent subs meet.

I feel ashamed to call myself a boatie.

There's a pic on TSR if you know where to look :p:

i mean least as in volume of drinks..
maybe not volume of alcohol:p:
my mates are machines they can drink pint after pint ad infinitum

yeh the kasabian video; its seems to be based in imperial britain in a war.. i couldnt quite see the opposition but it looked like there was russian on the cannon so ill have a guess and say the siege of Sevastopol, however the cannons didnt look chineese and it seemed to be more of a skirmish..
Blar what am i talking about.. i just got the VC on my brain today, it was probably just a random battle of the crimean war.

edit: nah it probably wasnt even based on a real war
lol, bit like their video for...watchya call it, Processed Beats, in ze battle zone.

Problem with drinking lots of pints is the beer belly that can develop. How some people can stay trim when doing lots of pints bewilders me.
