Be Excellent To Each Other

And we also found Mr Russ completely unrelatedly on Youtube.

It's somewhere in London predictably but I can't remember the name of it, some social media type affair related to music.

Hmm... of course, the biggest co-incidence was that Russell and I work together.

Obviously not - BUT, confirm for me that this is weird:

Someone that I know started seeing a new chap. They'd been together over three months, and were discussing moving in together. One day she wandered into the work canteen for lunch and there's her boyfriend.

'what are you doing here?!'
'well, what are you doing here?!'
'I work here!'
'I've started a new job here today!'

So, you are dating someone and close tot he point of moving in together, but one of you does not know where the other works, and the other neither knows where the first works, or that they are starting a brand new job and that it happens to be where you work...

Something is not right there, right? Like, in a stalker-y way.

Spy.

I 'matched' with a girl on a dating app, and we went for a date last weekend. Found out while talking that we work for the same company, in the same building! Had a nice date, agreed to do it again.

She texted me today to say she's handed in her notice and she's emigrating to Ireland.

So, nephew strips off nekkid, covers himself in pritt stick, and then sticks himself to the patio door shouting "I'm spiderman".

Hahahah. Aw. Well, I'd gladly see you with any of my friends. I think you are an all round gorgeous, fun, kind and gentle, intelligent man. I think you are absolutely smashing and beautiful in every sense, and I think that young lady is missing out!

Well, this is quite the best thing ever. How old is he?

Cras - is this the same lady you emailed me about, by any chance?

4. He's clearly got some imagination to him.

The previous weekend he covered the entire garden with a massive sack of bird seed.

Another mass shooting in America I've just found out. It sounds pretty grim and an ongoing thing with three shooters at some sort of disability medical centre in San Bernardino, CA. Apparently the shooters got away and now there's rumours of shots with one of the shooters at a mall. Worryingly, some witnesses are saying Middle Eastern, and so I'm praying that this doesn't give the very unstable Trump even more of a boost and fuel further hate in America. Of course usually with these things everyone's convinced it's one thing with witness statements until they find out it's something else entirely.

I really miss the 90's. There didn't seem to be as much awful about.

Ask if your friend also works with "MC Quizzical".

Have you learnt nothing from the finales of the films of Richard Curtis?

Remember that time when me and Pupil found out that we had both worked with each other years ago behind a two-man branch library desk for six months in Leeds, and we only realised that we already knew each other because he started talking about conversations he used to have with a co-worker about (I think it was) Grant Morrison and The Invisibles back in Leeds? Pretty amusing, since we had been talking to each other on Beex for quite a while without realising the other's identity.

That was pretty weird.

Oh, and when Lave and I found we'd not only been to university together, but had hung out on a few occasions due to mutual friends!

GazChap is employed by my step-sister.

Which freaked me out when I first discovered it!

<waves> I sit next to your friend

Oh my. Pistorious's day has taken a down turn.

What the fuck did you say to the friend to make the connection?!

Yeah, that's the bit that intrigues me. I'm hopefully seeing my mate in person in Glasgow later on in the month so can get the full story then but I couldn't be arsed trying to get the sense of it via text message.

You know they also work with one of the guys that runs the music quiz you're coming to as well?
FREAKIER AND FREAKIER

Why is someone who has a proper job running a pub quiz? Don't they pay him enough?

In fairness, he's doesn't run it, but he's part of it.

My last post was totally a joke by the way, just in case that somehow makes it back to the guy in question.

Poor Quizzical

#prayforquizzical

Hmm, also, do I need to get a ticket for the quiz or book anything (aside from flights and hotel obv) or anything like that?

Cras has bought the tickets, so just pay him back. They're somewhere between £5 and £10 depending on how many people come.

Cool.

She saw beex on my screen

and yes, I do work with MC Quizzical.

If that is indeed his real name.

Is he the cute rapping guy?

Oh good, I'll have plenty of presents for him to do.

Oh, that's disappointingly mundane! I was hoping one of you had made some oblique reference to Beex and the other had somehow spotted it.

Oh, I don't know: that's still pretty impressive!

I recognise websites on other people's screens all the time, I don't think it's all that impressive is it?

Not if it is Google, or BBC news, but a forum with, what, under 100 active users? Well, I'd think so

I spotted a website on someone's screen at work once. He was looking at "Mega man death match" which is a Doom/Quake clone using Megaman characters. I'd been reading loads about this on certain sites for weeks before hand.

I asked him if he'd played it and what he thought and it turns out that he made it.

Someone at work once told me that they made a giant creme egg for a site called Pimp That Snack.

Never heard of it.

Did he tell you or did he shout at you, right in the face while spitting and turning red with rage?

His real name is nowhere near as interesting.

Ian McQuizzical

<rewrites fanfic>

You know, people have been and gone so many times and changed so many names, I can't remember who made the original site, so that's a bit lost on me.

No-one can, Meems.

All I remember is that amazing comic of Gerrard the rat

He said less interesting not more awesome.
