My, Isn't It Quiet In Here...

[Talcy]

Well, I've not opened too many threads, so if this goes then fair do's.

I've noticed that this place has been pretty quiet of late. Not just in terms of the amount of posts, but the amount of folks actually hanging about.

So, not in action against it, because we all have quiet times, as I know our U.S. friends have had a bit of an important shindig this past week, but when this place seems a bit like we're passing the pong ball between us, can a few of us gather slightly and just have a quiet word, about not much, just that we are the only few appreciating this usually busy joint? Bliz /Obi / Magnus I await your judgement. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

And so,
My, isn't it quiet in here?

[Darth Strange]

The US is here. I will be on all night and day long.

[Blizzard]

^Doesn't totally represent the US.

Heyas Talcy! It always gets quiet in here when it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Everyone is outside enjoying the sun. Except me, of course. Here I sit, board out of my mind, dreading the big birthday next Tuesday.

How are you?

You're board out of your mind, as in message boarded? Or you mean that you're bored?

[Obidobi]

I'm here as well.. At work though..! Nothing much to say. 14 days of vacation just one day ahead! woooohhoooo.. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

I'm here too...lurking and waiting for you all to turn fruitcake so I can warn you all...
No, I'm actually just bored.
Woot!

[JackBauer24]

The last time I turned fruitcake, it was christmas. Man, fruitcake sucks.

[ordinarygirl]

I like fruitcakes... especially with Custard.. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

[JackBauer24]

I haven't had Custard in the longest time. Tried to make it once and nearly blew the kitchen up.

*contemplates* How on earth can you nearly blow up the kitchen making Custard?? I dread to think on how you were making it...!!

I think i will always prefer the "white custard" i used to have in School.. with Chocolate Cake!
Oh that was sooooo long ago! But thinking on it, i can still taste it! Yum!!

Actually.. i cannot remember the last time i had custard...
*thinks* nope that makes my head hurt....

so explain more on this "nearly blowing the kitchen up"...

Don't remember a lot of the incident, really. I just remember that it involved a propane torch and purple plastic spoons.

*wonders how you make Custard with a propane torch and purple plastic spoons?*

[Talcy]

Purple plastic spoons are the key. Anything else and a four mile exclusion zone must be erected as quickly as possible. Emergency Llammas would also be needed.

[Miasmo]

Hm. I suppose pink spoons will not do.

[Talcy]

Good god, have you any idea what you're proposing? The consequences...aye caram!

[JackBauer24]

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl.gif
Yeah. Pink spoons cause catastrophe. Red spoons could work.

[ordinarygirl]

...i have some blue spoons, are they any good??

[Talcy]

Red? RED? style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/scared.gif

[cj790]

I didn't realise I had to factor coloured cutlery into my culinary creations.

Hmm...

style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif

[JackBauer24]

Only in custard making. Other wise, the color of utensiles doesn't really matter.

Now, APRON color--THAT matters in all cases.

...not just the colour, but DESIGN too!!

[JackBauer24]

That, too. For example, if you're a male and you have flowers on your apron, not only will all of your culinary creations taste like the hind end of a hemmorhoidal dog, but it will cause every man in a 5 mile radius to launch a massive attack on your house. I've known three guys nearly killed from such an attack. Poor dumb flowery *******s.

[cj790]

Hmm...

It seems a mite quiet around here...

[mattypo]

yeah even the palce to post when it is quiet is quiet:p

[JackBauer24]

I think it was my hemmorhoidal dog comment that did it.

[Blizzard]

LOL!

[Talcy]

Do we need more haemorrhoids here?

Can do. :devil:

[JackBauer24]

Do we need more haemorrhoids here?

Can do. :devil:

No. We never need more hemmorhoids.

And you know, I was gonna post a picture of one here, but I just can't do that to everyone.

[cj790]

What's better - silence, or comments about haemorrhoids?

Votes, people?

[Talcy]

Well, to elaborate, I'll give the floor to Krusty...

"Can I be haemmarroid sufferer number one? Ooh! Aow! That's sore! Ahh, that's better."



No wonder Claude Akins got the part.

[JackBauer24]

We could go the Howard Stern way and have the world's largest hemorrhoid contest...

[Blizzard]

Here is a contest: hemorrhoid vs. haemorrhoid.

[JackBauer24]

Here in America, we know that the right way to spell words is to keep the a and the e apart!

[Talcy]

Correct?

It's technically "ae", taken from the latin root, "haem". Same with paediatrician, etc. Pediatritian would be more like someone who looks at your feet, like a pediatrist.

And don't get me started on theatres and centres. :banghead:

[leiaorgana]

^ Lol I always thought I was the only one who thought that theatres is the proper way..

[JackBauer24]

For my money:

Theater= Movies
Theatre= Stage

[cj790]

Here is a contest: hemorrhoid vs. haemorrhoid.


I'm sure there are people out there who'd pay good money to see that...

[Talcy]

This is making me think of certain Japanese movies. As Harry Knowles might say...

Man in suit! Man in suit!

[Obidobi]

Here in America, we know that the right way to spell words is to keep the a and the e apart!

Why not just use the letter "Æ"? :p

[Miasmo]

My God. I've never heard so much noise come from my intestines after a bowl of rice chex.

I've got a bad feeling about this.

[JackBauer24]

Why not just use the letter "Æ"? :p

That, sir, is no letter.

[cj790]

^ And it's a bugger to find on the keyboard ;)

[JackBauer24]

^ And it's a bugger to find on the keyboard ;)
Exactly. If it ain't on the keyboard, it ain't a letter.

[Talcy]

Dammit! Where are my umlauts?

[cj790]

^ Probably stolen by a metal band ;)

[JackBauer24]

What the hell is an umlaut?

[James]

^those two little dots that the Germans put above random letters.

[JackBauer24]

The Germans? They're still around?! Didn't we whup 'em but good 60 years ago?

[JackBauer24]

Alright! My bad sense of humor has killed the thread! As a legal disclaimer that my lawyer has advised me to say, I'd like to point out that I am in fact German and that last comment was a really bad joke. Thank you and have a nice day. If you feel the need to sue, the average settlement is $21,022. All employess must wash their hands before exiting the bathroom. Look both ways before you cross the street. Stepped-on cracks do not break mother's backs, but they do cause random dogs to start licking their genitals. Now you know; whenever you see a dog licking itself, someone, somewhere stepped on a crack. Sadly, a dog licking its genitals WILL NOT cause a person to step on a crack. Do not take this post if you are nursing, pregnant, expect to become pregnant, or hope to become pregnant sometime in the nest 80 years. If taken rectally, the post will cause bleeding of the cuticles. Do not operate machinery while under the influence of this post. Breaking a mirror does not cause bad luck. Every time a bell rings, an angle gets straightened. Every time you pick your nose, a kitten dies. You don't want to kill kittens, do you?

I thought it was "every time you masturbate a kitten dies." :kitty:

Then imagine what would happen if you were to masturbate WHILE picking your nose!

JB24,

In all of my brief, selective time as a poster, that is potentially the most amusing bit of tips on keys fluff I've seen. In a bit.

Only a bit, mind you.

You should be congratulated.

But you won't.

You'll only receive some ASDA vouchers and a free pass to the Edinburgh Festival Fireworks (arseh0le armour and pugil-sticks not included), while various and sundry accost Dylan Moran just because he lives here (I barged into him once, you know, he drinks in the Barony...). Oh no, I've said too much...

Leonard Cohen.

And then...

[JediMasterJamz]

This place has really quited down since all the mones. Not to say anything bad about the place, just stating a fact.


DAMN HACKERS!

[Blizzard]

JB24,
You should be congratulated.

But you won't.

Oh I don't know. I gave him a few reputation points for that.

[JackBauer24]

Oh I don't know. I gave him a few reputation points for that.

*blush*

Thank you!

I would return the favor, but the board is saying I can't at the moment. :( *shrug* Okay, here's some, uh....invisible reputation points!

[flo fett]

JB24,
while various and sundry accost Dylan Moran just because he lives here (I barged into him once, you know, he drinks in the Barony...). Oh no, I've said too much...

Too true, I bumped into him at the Blue Moon Cafe, the poor man was getting stopped by everyone. I on the otherhand actually bumped into him, then went bright red and mumbled an apology to his startled personage and ran away to my table.




I think he's hot...

[Talcy]

Blue Moon Cafe? Hmm, he must live near Broughton St, then, as that's across the road from the Barony.

On a slightly similar note, I'll be seeing Bill Bailey this Friday. As usual, I can only afford to really see one thing at the Fringe this year. And don't get me started on the Film Festival - As well as Soderbergh, Weaver, et all, they've just announced John Hurt and Brian De Palma!!

Zaaaaaagh!

<curses his unemployable status>

[JackBauer24]

Dylan Moran


:huh: Who?

[Talcy]

Unkempt Irish comedian who lives in Edinburgh and usually has a glass of wine in one hand. Been on UK tv in the brilliant sitcom Black Books, which you should watch if you can. His stand up is superb as well.

Ah. That explains it. We don't get much UK TV over here. Occasionally we'll get a few days of BBC America, but that's about it. I see more of Canadian TV than UK.

This thread's not dead, baby. This thread's not dead.

But, once again, it has been quieter than usual around here.

[JackBauer24]

Yeah. What's up with that? Is everyone just on vacation or dead or something?

[Darth Darthy]

Summer. Always quieter in the summer.

[cj790]

As a former thread-killer, I sympathise :p

[JackBauer24]

Summer. Always quieter in the summer.

Because people actually have lives during the summer? *gasp*

[Talcy]

Not me. I'm dole scum. :D

Until the end of next month, that is, when I go back to university after 7 (bugger!) years.

[Obi-Stu]

Summer! It's winter here and it's a freezing 23C outside

[Talcy]

Wot's that in Fahrenneity-thingy?

[Darth Darthy]

Around 76F isn't it? Dunno, that was a guess. I don't have to use Celcius anymore. Yay for me!

[JackBauer24]

I did a calculation earlier today; I guess it didn't get posted. It came to 74.3 or something like that.

[Talcy]

So, that's cold? COLD?

For crying out loud! THat's what we call mild in the UK. :D

[JackBauer24]

We call that hot here in Michigan.

[cj790]

Give me Celcius any day of the week. Easy to use.

[Obi-Stu]

In Celcius or Farenheit, it's still cold...

[cj790]

^ I hope that's sarcasm, Stu...



:)

[Blizzard]

I use this converter: http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm

Cold? That's a beautiful summer day!!! 74F is a perfect temp.

It's 62F/17C here right now and raining. I still have all the windows open. I am not looking forward to winter when it's -20F/-28C here.

[JackBauer24]

I'm actually kinda looking forward to winter. It's the only time of the year where the weather can cause my work to close down.

[kenobi64]

winter-skiing fun yay yay yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but summer way better yes!!!!! summer swimming in New England rocks!!!!!

[Obi-Stu]

When it's normally between 30 and 37C each day, then 23 is pretty cold...

[Blizzard]

Yeah, I can't imagine living that close to the equater.

[JackBauer24]

Y'know, I have to admit that I'm one of these jerks who can't admit when he's cold. It could be 40 degrees outside and I'll be in shorts. I'll be shivering, but I'm not gonna let anyone know that I'm cold.

"Uh...Jack, I think you've got frostbite."
"Nah. It ain't cold enough out!"
"Jack, your hand is literally falling off your arm."
"Hey, if you can't take the heat..."

[cj790]

^ lol.

Being British, complaining about the weather is a national pasttime. Whatever it's like, it's just not quite right for us - and hence we are able to talk to each other. It's the only known common ground for two Brits; without it, we'd have nothing to talk about!

:p

[Obi-Stu]

Yeah, I can't imagine living that close to the equater.

I'm not that close, but being on the South African East coast helps.

[JackBauer24]

I'm retarded. I left the keys to my work desk at home, so I can't get into the desk all day today.

This has nothing to do with anything else, I just figured that this was a good enough thread to mention it in.

*shrug*

And yes, your IQ did drop from the power of this post. You may be dumber, but aren't you a little happier? Just a little? Nah, me neither.

[Talcy]

Nice to see the thread alive and kicking after my absence.

[nefertiti]

Autum is beginning. Kids are back in school. October is for most the end of the fiscal year...so budgets are being furiously written and submitted for approvals.

Xmas is what? Less than 90 days away. Have you even started that adenture yet? Or are you one of this who has learned to shop through the year...and now all that's left is wrapping.

The weather is changing. The foliage has come to its end and the trees are bare and looking sad. Air conditioners are being turned up or even in someplaces turned off....the heater has been turned on. Some have a rainy season just before winter starts and Halloween will be chilly...be sure to wrap the little ones up.

Thanksgiving will fill lthe house full of smells and family...who will hopefully go away a day later, because remember Christams they stay longer.

Do you need to start pulling out the winter cloths, mitten and caps....but can't remember precisely where you put them last spring. They were supposed to go there, but...doesn't look like it.

My favorite come back to a situation or adventure that doesn't make a good grade....

"Ah.....Venice."

Can I make noise? Here it's spring, we're on holidays and we're throwing heaters out the window! The smell of flowers are making me sneeze, and all of us have a case of stuck-to-our-seats syndrome.

LOL! It's really Thanksgiving in Canada today.

Who cares about spring break, Memorial Day I will be at Celebration 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Talcy]

Y'know, I love Chrismas. I absolutelt adore it, even as an "adult". But, wandering into even just a local newsagent/grocer shop (Co-Op) the other day, they had a whole little aisle dedicated to wrapping paper and Cadbury's selection boxes - again, I love chocs too - but it's kind of depressing and takes the shine off of Christmas when this stuff's around and it isn't even Halloween. I tend not to start to thinking about it too much until after Fireworks night (5th Nov in the UK), but when it's around just now...zaaaah! Walking along Princes Street in Edinburgh and Jenners look like they're starting to get "festive" in their windows. It just spoils it a bit. :hmmm:

At least the tv ads bombardment hasn't started here yet - it usually has at this time of year. Or maybe it has - I don't really watch ITV as it's a bit crap. I'm a Beeb boy.

And at least there aren't fireworks going off every night, as gangs of little gits set of illegally obtained fireworks early in the local park or just around the corner, scaring the cack out of my dog and cats. Small mercies. God, I've become Victor Meldrew, and I'm not even 35 yet. :shocked:

Pah! Spoiling it for you!? I work for the evil company behind Jenners 'cept on Buchanan Street in Glasgow and today I have a 13 hour shift to do because the Christmas greenery is arriving and has to be put up overnight...grumblesnmumbles and the christmas windows go in in two weeks!

So, JB24, is yours a killing touch? Or, as we say in Scotland, the jobby touch?

LOL, jobby is slang for a poo. The 'jobby touch' is like a horrendous version of the 'midas touch', instead of gold it means everything you touch turns to sh**e

Imagine Bill S. Preston or Wayne Campbell but slightly more uncouth:

Nae - No

I think the expletive explains itself.

ya - you

radge (noun) - common slang with various meanings; headcase, lunatic, reckless person, one liable to cause harm or damage, idiot, simpleton, pregnant fish (last one's an urban myth but always went down well in the playground).

LOL, Baw jaws is indeed what you googled but in Glasgow people will affectionately insult people they like, even people they fancy. So baw jaws is just a name someone might shout to get your attention.
As for the rest...
Actual: "Aw right then. Hey baw jaws, yer a pure stoatir so ye ur"
Translation: "Alright then. Hey you! You're really good looking, yes you are."

Actual: "Ye make me want tae keel awur. Ah pure fancy you so hows about it eh?"
Translation: " You make me want to swoon. I really find you attractive so do you want to have sexual relations?"

Actual: "Get yer coat yev pulled. Mon back tae mines."
Translation: " You should collect your coat, you have managed to pick me up. Please come home with me."

Hope this helps! LOL! :lol:
