Be Excellent To Each Other

Beer is horrifically expensive in Sweden, though

mumble mumble... Rugby cancled becuase the pitch is frozen...

What? When I were a young 'un, that was no excuse for cancelling rugby practice. Sadistic bastards.

This was a game, so if the ground won't take a stud, it is too dangerous... plus us props like to grip

I really wanted to hurt some one play today

Sounds like the Portsmouth game. 1-0 up over Liverpool and Liverpool have had a player sent off for a bad challenge.

hence we use plenty of vasaline

Oh and happy Saturday to all !

How dare you compare ruffians football to the Gentlemen's game of rugby......

Can I nominate Zaphod for official BETEO archivist?

Fuck that let's put him on Wogan's perfect recall

Update on family fortunes lol.

It turns out after more Xrays and stuff that Jo has not only broken her ankle but the bone above it. Apparently they could turn her ankle 360'. Seriously not good.

Her parents, whose house we are all due to go to at Christmas suffered a burst radiator pipe thismorning, so the conservatory is in water. They had to call out a plumber.

I would normally be living with them too, but am staying with Mum for a couple of weeks. Not good tbh. We're all bracing ourselves for the third and final piece of bad luck

Oooh, mend well.

The scar was from a backstreet abortion. I can't afford any more kids just yet and Marie Stopes reckoned they only dealt with humans.

Where was I?

Right, so I went round to see Zioette earlier, but rather than have to dig my car from beneath the arctic tundra on the driveway, my brother's girlfriend offered to take me. We parked a road away from my ex's house as the road conditions seemed pretty bad and we'd spotted a pretty safe parking spot, on a public road with no yellow lines, not blocking anyone's driveways and in a good, visible location.

When we returned to the car, someone had stuck a note under the windscreen wiper saying "You have caused an accident. What a stupid place to park. The police have been informed". No contact details were left.

I'm not worried that the police are going to be breaking down my brother's girlfriend's door because she hasn't broken any laws at all, she parked in an entirely legitimate place and in a safe manner. There was no damage to her car either, so it may just be someone's idea of a joke. But it has very much bothered her, and for that I feel really quite pissed off.

By accident they probably mean you've caused an unwanted pregnancy. To everyone in the street.

How to avoid losing your camera.

Chris and Ola!

Yeah baby!

You've managed to miss 37 minutes of Blade Runner.

As have I.

By "managed" you mean "were made to". I've been watching Russel Howard's Christmas special on iPlayer and pretending to be interested.

I wanted to watch "Love Actually".

For a few years now I've been after a cheap-ish copy of Keyboardmania for the PS2, but like the other official Konami controllers like the Guitar Freaks, it's always been too close to £100 for me to consider. However, an Ebay Saved Search finally came good this week and I got this -



£45 for the controller, 2 games and postage.. not bad at all.

Now I expected Keyboardmania to be a fair bit trickier than Guitar Freaks/Rock Band etc but I'm just hopeless at it. The best I've managed on the easiest songs is an E ranking. Hopefully with a bit of practise I might attain mediocrity. Most of the tracks are j-pop stuff (there's a genre called Trenchcoat Jazz ) but there's the theme to Monkey

Using a high-tech method, i.e. pointing my camera at my telly, I recorded a cpu demo of one of the songs to show how its meant to be done,although this song only uses half the keyboard.

I just heard a massive thump.

Like someone trying to break in.

Im a tad worried now.

Mmmm. Ola. Now I do fancy her and she doesn't have a willy.

I've got a sore throat, my head feels really stuffy and my nose won't stop running. Merry Christmas everyone.

Looks, err, quite difficult.

Where's the video of you playing this?

Heh maybe when I'm not so utterly abysmal at it. At the moment I'm always have to look at where my hands are/should be on the keyboard, by which point I've missed a load of notes.

Every time I see your username, I hear Cliff Richard in my head, singing "he's just a devilsnowman...".

Anyone heard from St Nickachu this morning ?

Hello!

Im still alive.

I also had a cracking game of Madden 09 with myp last night aswell. Woeful defending by both teams and many picks thrown gave for quite an interesting finish.

It's very icy in Oxfordshire.

EPIC night last night.

My friend James invited me to join him for an 'allnighter' LAN party at a gaming cafe. I carefully planned my departure only to realize that I'd misread the schedule, at that the '1924' I thought was the departure from my local station was in fact my arrival time in Cardiff Queen Street, my train was at 1908, and it was 1900 now! I refreshed the page and it said the 1924 was 9 minutes late! Legged it up the scary footpath (past two Carling guzzling hoodies) to the station to find a number of angry people milling around waiting. One cheerful chap revealed his mate was a driver and that it was the ATW drivers' xmas do that night.

In any event, the train soon arrived, and I got on, and the conductor never got to me so I got to Queen Street, changed trains to Cathays and didn't pay a penny. Karma then caught up with me as I stepped and slid on a huge patch of ice in the parking lot.

I reached the LAN cafe just as James got there and I secured Miss Millies and signed onto one of the computers. They were playing Heroes of Newerth but the game wasn't letting me register an account so I was stuck trying to MW2 instead.

At this point James declared we were going to Incognito (or whatever it's called now) so we all piled into his friend's car and went to drink lovely strawberry beer. We smashed a pingpong ball around the 'common' room upstairs to reggae music, and then headed over to 'The Promised Land' to meet more of James' friends who are professional breakdancers (really). Pritchard from Dirty Sanchez was there and there was much shouting and falling on the floor.

After a few drinks we drove around and managed to secure an amazing parking spot on Westgate Street, before going into Submission (a rock/indie club). To my utter astonishment nobody was searched, no cover charge, the DJ was playing good music and the beer was served in huge cans. Dainton and his missus turned up and there was more running around and shouting and the violent clanging of the last orders bell, for fun. James' Irish friend constantly lamented there weren't enough girls while the breakdancing guy refused to breakdance as the floor was covered in broken glass.

After a very long time we decided to go back to the LAN place and the Irish chap decided he'd head on out to find more girls. He could barely stand at this point (he must have been already quite oiled when he met us as I'd been drinking more than him) and we got back in the car and drove back. I played a lot more MW2, a bit of MW1 and some Zombie Panic: Source among other things. About quarter to five (!) James' friend said he'd give me a lift back to Caerfilthy so we got back in the car and drove down the cold, empty streets and over the mountain.

He didn't believe me when I told him the moat of Caerphilly Castle was frozen and so screeched to a halt and leapt out to see. Sure enough it was, but to his great disappointment he couldn't find any big rocks to throw at the ice to see how thick it was.

Just after five I stumbled in the front door and crawled into bed. Kate rolled over, remarked that I 'smelled of pub and smoke' and fell straight back asleep.

Fucking awesome!

It rained heavily in the night here and then froze. I made the mistake of coming back from town the back way. The road was sheet ice for 3 miles. Literally like Ice Road Truckers. Took it slow but the ABS and Stability Control were still kicking in from time to time. Some idiots were going far faster the other way.

Being in the country and with a driveway on a hill I've ensured I have both winter grit and rock salt in the garage

We have had a little bit of snow.

It's a bit cold, and quite slippy under foot. Starting to slush up in places.

I'd quite like some more snow.

I hope my train home tomorrow doesnt get delayed/cancelled mind.

I watched the full thing on youtube after reading that. It's incredibly well done on such a small budget, I've seen films costing a huge amount more per minute that looked crap.

I'm getting drunk on the expensive bottle of red wine I bought my mum for Chckckhhhhhhrimbo. Nice work, buddy.

Snow! Proper snow! To the tops of me shoes! The Manchester rain will be along to wash it all away soon I expect, but still...

Just wish I hadn't left all my xmas shopping till today

We're getting rain tomorrow. Although going on their reports for last night it seems they're wrong as usual. We were supposed to get slammed last night.

So aye, tomorrow rain. Let's hope it doesn't freeze up afterwards.

And god bless Abercrombie & fitch. Saving my ass from freezing since 2006...

Just been to the shop and back on foot. Almost fell over 4 times. Going t be fun returning home post football in the pub....

Are you Uncle Brynn?

Football shirts packed, baseball cap packed, jogging bottoms packed, white trainers packed. I'm ready for the in laws.

Who?

Yes it's totally preppy gay yank but it's amazingly warm. It's about half inch thick. Mal, don't forget the carrier bags to put over your feet before you put your boots on ! Nothing feckin worse than wet freezing feet.

Was chatting to a pal in Easton MD last night and they have 2ft. Easton has been put under a state of emergency and state troopers demanded he leave his store (a Gamestop) and lock up and go home. No complaints from him of course

Was speaking to my friend Delores last night (in the U.S) and here is Philadelphia 40 mins into their blizzard yesterday. They also now have over 2ft.

Only teasing you, dude.

<3

No I fully understand it's a knobbish jumper I look like something out of one of those American Christmas movies. All I need to do is stand by the fire with a glass of red wine

It's just so damn warm. So warm I cannot wear it indoors because within 10 mins I will be soaked with sweat.

Does that mean you fell over 3 times?
