Yeah so its text only, so sue me

Why am I text only? Our internet got cut off while I was installing Ubuntu on my laptop :( :(

What a shitty day - and it had no right to be as I’d taken the day off (told my boss I had swine flu). Managed to, almost right away get into a big argument with my flatmate who i actually like very much about the fact i’d increased the internet bill some 7 months ago & offered to pay the excess but had never done so. My argument was that they had never told me the bill had come EG, if you have to pay the gas - you dont call the gas company every week asking if the bill is ready to pay, you just wait till they ask you. Same difference. 

So that put me in a bad mood. I eventually paid them [my live-in landlords] the money and asked them to call up and downgrade the service, when they downgraded - boom, the internet went off and didnt come back. I was on the phone to O2 for about 3 hours and decided i’d better go to the pub instead.

I tried to do my blog in Gimp but its so eratic with the tablet EG a simple feature like ‘nudge’ just does the conga all over the screen.

Funny thing tonight is our local is some sort of semi-trendy pub, I say semi as a handful of very rough types frquent it and bring all the trendies crashing very firmly back to earth. For some reason someone had organised an extremely lo-fi kareoke night and nobody was interested meaning the organiser sung Elvis songs very badly - only to be punctuated by soem of the more ’special’ regulars singing for examlple ‘Ghost town’ and what not. It was very funny indeed.

Hopefully a proper posting tomorrow after I get my virtual machine up and running, sozzy xx

loyalty schemes, folderchat and others

words

I am a big fan of the coffee loyalty scheme they run in our canteen, however, I think they should expand it:
7 coffees: free coffee
100 coffees: day off
50000 coffees: promotion

I totally covered myself in soup today, what a story!

I had unix club today but I forgot to bring my laptop. That means the teacher made me use the crappy spare terminal - in my pants!! LOLZ!!

–GEEK ALERT–
I had a great idea for a unix application called ‘folderchat’ so when you are browsing the same folder as someone you can chat to them like its a MUD - cool eh?

I played music tonight at the local bar. The promoter also runs a more prestigious gig elsewhere & I always kind of hoped he’d invite me to come along - well tonight I got my wish - he invited me to come - AND WATCH!

TVGOHOME & newswipe

words

worl was pretty much a  drag today. Although I did find out my project manager, who I thought I had nothing in common with is a MASSIBE Charlie Brooker fan. I mean you can’t fault that. I sent her a link to TVGOHOME cause I’m such a fucking guru on misanthropic comedy.

I’m glad to see the new version of Skype looks like the bastard child of AOL messenger circa 2004 and bid up TV. Yes Skype - we all want 3/4 of our software to be compeltely unusable, Google got it wrong!

Went for a quick drink with Matt after work which quickly turned into 5 drinks and a Wagamamas “There goes my diet!”

I am incapable and I think I always will be of using the right keyboard & mouse when there are more than 1 keyboard & mice on the table.

cafe anomaly

words

I went to meet my family for lunch today & something very unexpected happened.

“May I take your order?”
- “Can’t you see we just sat down!?”
[This wasn't it]

“Here, speak to granny”
- “I wish I was dead.”
[This wasn't it either]

[[Crying]]
yes yes this was it.

My mu sent me & James a chain email with loads of pictures of holocaust victims & the subject ‘In memorium’ Im it it said that the teaching of the holocaust In UK secondary schools had been banned as it offended muslims who deny the holocaust which of course is BOOWSHEET. DO your parents ever send you powerpoint presentations with racist undertones depicting dead jews?

fart roulette


Hi i’ll now be (or trying to if I remember) posting every post at 11am GMT for some kind of consistency and professionalism!!!

words

Have you ever played fart roulette in the lift? You get in the lift (alone) - fart, and pray to bejesus nobody gets in…

My current job bores the privilege that I can wander away from my desk and nobody asks where I have been. I a pretty glad they don’t ask as I’d hate to have to tell them the truth…

“I have been reading comic books on the toilet”

“I have been walking round and round the building listening to audiobooks”

signal? SIGNAL? signal?


This has tortured me all day.

words

I was nearly killed by a driver today so he shouted at me for 20 minutes…

Why didn’t you signal?
- I did signal - cockballs
You didn’t i didn’t see you signal
- Well I did - you cock, can’t yous ee a signal?
Oh why don’t you swear more that will make you feel better.
- Oh yeah I want to take life lessons from you - cockmead.

Now I think about it I don’t think I did signal.

It’s a lesson to us all.

Old skool


HEY. ISN’T THIS WEIRD?? I just got my laptop back after a long load so I thought id celebrate with one of these, sorry there aint much drawin’. Sozzy I have been away for so very long, I started LOADS of strips but I just couldn’t finish the damn things!

words

OMG I saw Jeffrey Lewis this evening at The Scala - that’s right yanks! THE SCALA!*

Do you see how we appreciate your artists more than you do? It’s the same with Bill Hicks - and now he’s DEAD. And what did he die of? Cancer of the him not being appreciated in his own country. Its started in his Leno - and spread all the way to his Letterman.

Even the support were really good, nope - can’t remembver their name. With most bands I just dismiss them a bit like ‘oh they aren’t really that good or it’s derogatory but JL theres just no dispute he really is something else.

Bitmap has the filthiest face - see. 

I feel like her GRAN wetting my finger & wiping it off. She mist dig the earth with her FACE.

She has a boyfriend - this black cat - I’m not sure I approve.

(not cause he’s black she’s just young OK?) anyway she’s mixed race so shut up.
