Be Excellent To Each Other

A shrunken niche becomes a cranny.

The nice people have accepted our house offer, so now I can not worry about tempting fate.

MINE! All MINE!

Noice. But why the big circle? Fuck me, 4 bathrooms?

Hopefully not the sofas as they look like the kind of thing Jimmy Saville used to sit in. And those stains don't come out easily....

The big circle is painted on the wall. I'm not sure why.

The odd things are: no TV in the whole house, the books in this picture are all bibles, and spot the shower

Did the previous owners vacate suddenly in a spaceship made of wood? Are there lots of clothes of the same colour in the wardrobe.

Do the locals refer to it as "that weirdo place".

All I'm saying is don't drink any Kool Aid left in the cupboards.


[I'm assuming "gaming nights" will now become "Jesus" nights]

Shower in the bedroom. Hmm, could have been for someone with restricted mobility, but 200 bibles? Check the loft before you let the kid in

Maybe it was an an initial planning sketch for a giant clock, speaker or dartboard.

I reckon it was going to be a huge stopwatch counting down to the Rapture.

That's a nice-looking house. The circle on the wall is clearly a stargate, just like the shower in the bedroom is clearly a secret entrance to an underground lair.

Maybe it was the portal through which they left

That room doesn't even remotely fit the rest of the house. The rest is pretty nice, chap, but definitely decorate that room.

Wait, no TV? So no aerial or associated 'infrastructure'?

it got a nice big garden.

Good.

Other than the leather armchair, I really like that room.

You could fit a lot of fishtanks in that house.

Damn straight you could. The constant sound of flowing water would drive everyone insane if I lived there.

Nice mate, shit a lot eh?

I would need to pee like 50 times a day.

Fortunately there's 4 bathrooms.

I'm not sure. No Sky, that's fo' def'. I'll probably have Cat5 plumbed into the walls so I'll get it all done then.


Yes - I am going to build an RC car track around the outside

That's a nice house, indeed. I am insanely jealous.

I don't know how Grim...'s going to cope with the transition from the current place. He'll be wandering around the place completely lost. The Mrs will have to call him down for dinner an hour before it's ready.

No concierge, man. I'm not looking forward to that.
I'm also not looking forward to the view from the windows not being spectacular.
I am, however, looking forward to having my Tomcat in a garage, and it not taking an average of four minutes between leaving the front door and getting outside

[edit]I am also looking forward to having two ovens and a hyperfridge.

I'd ask how you know that, but you timed it, didn't you

You're going to have a fucking big furniture bill.

Tell me about it. I'm thinking about £10k on the mortgage for furniture.

Your new house looks gorgeous Grim..., congratulations

Jen told me last night that if we have our own place by next New Year (which we won't unless we win the lottery or something!) then we should invite you guys up for Hogmany! I was quite taken with that idea.

I'm totally having a house-warming nerd-off.

I like scotland.

And drinking.

Yay!

You are, yes. Not least because you've just told us all where your new house is.

Good luck finding it. Us country folk all have posh long driveways with big trees hiding us from the riff-raff driving by. You'll have to drive past and listen for the Tomcat.

Less prostitutes too

I imagine.

Prolly not as fit. The one in the lift last Wednesday was stunning.

That's a fuck of a lot of Ikea furniture, guy.

Do you get a lot of prostitutes in your building then?

Yeah, a fair few. Some of them are pretty grumpy, but most are friendly (especially the fit ones). Some can't actually speak English

There was a pair of them in the lift with Craster and I during the Firefly party. I said something funny, but I can't remember what, but they didn't laugh. They weren't that fit, but, you know, they came as a pair*.


*Or, at least, pretended to

Is it one very lonely guy keeping them busy, or do you have a lot of IT workers in your building?

They're always going to different floors when I see them, so it's not one guy.

Just to change topic completely, what's the forum font? I really like the bold font at the top of the quote boxes.

"Lucida Grande" or "Trebuchet MS".

Tonight The Wiff is working late at their service user's christmas disco, so I think it's valid for me to wheel this one out again.



Also this allows me to have a pizza for dinner.

So it is! Thanks, chap.

We took the RC Bowler Wildcat round the in laws' place over the weekend, and the Father In Law is now planning on making a track and buying one himself. First Born is also now very keen on playing with it. He's mastered "FAST!!!!!" but not "stopping" or "steering", which resulted in me having a sore ankle.

Sounds aces. Got any pictures?
You'll have to bring it to the house warming. I'll race you

Unless I upgrade the engine and get a LiPo, your IC would eat it alive.

Plus, yes, I'd have to turn up.

OR!

I could rig up some sort of onboard camera and web-based control system, post you the Wildcat, and then race you via the internet.

"I wish I'd brought my wallet".

And MaliA was in the lift with you.

Well that's creepy.

I LIVE IN YOUR EYES.

Also, Grim... mentioned that before. But the EYES thing is true as well.

Nice buy Grim... That's an awful lot of house for your money there! Was it a particular bargain or is that the going rate...?

You will love that garden even more as the Grimlet gets older!
