[GSV Not Really Listening]

Nice. I've got a G7 and like it a lot. The Zoom stuff is great for home use.

Can you find me a quilted Gibson LP for a tenner?

[jag]

My latest ebay purchase is a parelli rope halter for my horse, 'cept I think they got the size wrong so I'm a bit peed off atm :mad:.

You'll need to post yer attempts at those bad guys Deep.

[Deep Black]

Well I read the 1st Gormenghast book a while back & liked it. Will get around to 2 & 3 from the Trilogy volume some time.

I really only got The Anubis gates 'cause it was 10p, I know nothing about it at all.

The "How to Draw Comic Book Bad Guys & Gals" I got for our daughter. She's only 1 now but if she gets into art it might be useful, got some good stuff on drawing scared faces & clawed hands etc...

[Conscious Bob]

Cool.....Didn't buy anything today but I lost............(changes thread) My Nokia 5310 mobile phone whilst urbexing Methil power station:mad:.

That would look good on an insurance claim...

[RedKing]

Can't you go back and ring it?

[jag]

Went back to the spot where we 'got in' but it had gone. So Bro phoned it and it rang for a bit then was on voice-mail. I phoned 02 and got the sim card barred and the phone locked.
Thought I'd found it when I got home by feeling thru my rucksack for the umpteenth time, but it was only a 2 finger kit-kat.

[Champagne Socialist]

parcour urbexing is cool
kitkat, not cool

[jag]

Agree.
Got my Sony Ericsson Wi10 Walkman thingy out the drawer. Hey it's still a cool phone.
Everthing happens for a reason.

[Conscious Bob]

My phone's buggered, but provider has checked it out and confirmed fault. I'm hoping they won't be able to fix it. New shiiiiiiiiiiny phone!

[jag]

Bought a new SE T303 for £48 from ASDA, and a set of bass geetar strings from ebay.
A bottle of Smirnoff for tonight and a battery charger with 4 batteries.
Tell ya this being of work is expensive business!

[Deep Black]

parcour urbexing is cool
kitkat, not cool
But I love Kitkats, especially the Chunky ones

[jag]

You know, Kit-kat is my fave choc bar, but those chunky bad boys are not right.

[Champagne Socialist]

they're eeeeevviiiiiiiillll.
Part of the evil Nestle group of evil conglomerate evilness, which is to be boycotted.

You know their latest wheeze?

After having conned lots of African women, and poisoning a lot of other 3rd world workers, now apparently having cleaned up the act and behaving like good multinational corporation, spending a bundle on trying to convince everyone of that.

Setting up a shell company to buy up 3rd world and other developing nations national debts on the commodities and derivatives markets for a fraction of the value (hey Mr Western Democracy, we'll pay you a quarter what they owe, clear the debt from your books) of the debt, and then they start suing charities and NGO's that are trying to invest in those countries, in order to reclaim the debt.

evil evil evil evil evil

[RedKing]

And they changed the pronunciation from ness-uls to nes-lay. Darn capitalists!

[Chiaroscuro]

You know, Kit-kat is my fave choc bar, but those chunky bad boys are not right.

You mean you haven't tried Bill Bailey's trick of melting four of them together and pretending it's an original Kit-Kat and you're a tiny pixie?

[jag]

I've got a phobia now of those kit-kats after losing my mobile phone, I thought I'd found it (my mobile phone) at the bottom of my rucksack only to find it was a 2 finger KK.:o.

Today I bought loads of vegetables and healthy stuff.
I also had a cheeseburger happy-meal with a diet coke earlier on.

[RedKing]

Today I bought some Fish and Chips for my Dad, and a kebab for myself. Later I bought an Italian meal for the family in our new local restaurant. The latter was a better experience than the former.

[Deep Black]

Charity shop trawl today. Picked up:
Elizabeth Moon - Trading in Danger (10p)
Tolkien - The Children of Húrin (£1.20)

[Champagne Socialist]

I read the silmarilion.

Elves are stupid.

[Deep Black]

Quite a review :)

The Silmarillion has been on my shelf, unread, for ages. As I expect The Children of Húrin will be. I'll get around to them sometime I expect

[RedKing]

The Silmarillion is heavy going, but it did inspire one of the forum's favourite groups, so perhaps it should be called The S*lm*r*ll**n?

[jag]

Some of Tolkiens other stuff is pretty useless.

Today I bought some Fimo to make 'crafty' things from my imagination, you know, green monsters with yellow dots and one eye kinda of vibe.

[Deep Black]

A Tantalus, a bit like this:

http://www.spminiatures.com/alberttantalus.jpg

[edash]

Far too much beer (if there is such a thing), over £60 worth. And most of it in the one shop.

[RedKing]

Ah, an invisible thing! :)

[Deep Black]

--- have tried that picture again---


And most of it in the one shop
On-line or in person?

[edash]

In person. Independent off-licence too.

Not bought any on-line yet. The delivery costs to NI keep putting me off. Beermerchants.com did send me some freebies a few weeks back though.

[Deep Black]

What would http://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/ charge you? (can't be bothered to look myself)

[edash]

They say £18 for 2 cases, which is 24 500ml bottles. But that's just what thier website says.

Beermerchants are a bit more forthcoming. It all goes by weight. Up to 20kg costs £18, and after that is 69p per kg. So if I order 40 bottles from them it would be roughly £25. Basically I should add 60p per bottle and order loads :)

I have a couple of local suppliers I can rely on, and they do seem to pay attention to requests.

[jag]

An X-zylo flying thing. Only tried it once and it smashed into a tree. Will be trying it out again 2morrow, in open fields.

[Deep Black]

That's some kind of lawn mower?

Ed - BoE charge a flat £7 for any amount of beer in England. If it was £18 for you for the same deal it could be a bargain.

[RedKing]

Wanted to buy a 'Pork Pie Percussion' shirt from the US. Cost of shirt $15. Cost of shipping $113.05. Possibly cheaper to fly to the US, buy the shirt and come back in a day.

[edash]

That's some kind of lawn mower?

Ed - BoE charge a flat £7 for any amount of beer in England. If it was £18 for you for the same deal it could be a bargain.

I just checked them again, and it's £14 for 2 cases (12 500ml bottles per case) and £7 per additional case. Which, while steep, is about the usual for heavy parcels to NI.

[edash]

Wanted to buy a 'Pork Pie Percussion' shirt from the US. Cost of shirt $15. Cost of shipping $113.05. Possibly cheaper to fly to the US, buy the shirt and come back in a day.

Or if know you somebody in the States they could buy it for you and post it over for a lot less. It probably won't arrive with the armed guard they must be providing to justify that charge, though.

Ach, I had one on Friday morning. One of those buggers that creeps up on you when you've been up for an hour or so.

[jag]

Some chips, but instead of oven chips I bought deep fry ones by mistake. I don't have a deep fat fryer so I handed them in next door.
A new pair of nail clippers and some leccy.

[BeckyH]

You don't need a special fryer for those chips, Jag-just pour veg. oil into a big pan until it's about 2" deep, then heat on a moderate heat until it's about 350F. A cube of bread will brown in about 30 seconds at that temperature. Then dump in the frozen chips and stir them about a bit, and scoop them out when they're the color you prefer your chips to be.
and what the feck is leccy?

[jag]

Thanks for the tip Becky;).
leccy is Liverpudlian slang for electricity!

You can buy it by the box in the UK:

The opening scenes are well violent, the most violent I've seen.
The game play is pretty ferocious, slashing minions into sliced beef with a multitude of X&Y combos. The bosses are the usual 'dodge and find weak spot' type. The best new thing, is the lunge attack, where you can pick out an enemy from far of and, well, lunge at him and use some shredding moves to decapitate the poor sod.

A cat!
Well, we didn't buy him, he's a rescue cat.
There are mice on the veg beds, so we needed something to destroy them!

[edash]

so we needed something to destroy them!


What, the veg beds? In my experience most cats are actually pretty useless at catching mice. And those that do usually expect you to do the killing. Destroying the plants is much more likely :).

[Chiaroscuro]

Cracker was brilliant at catching mice, she used to bring us in one practically every night during the summer, usually without a mark on them. Then she'd dump them in living room and they'd hide under the nearest bit of furniture, or in the case of the vole she once caught in the lining of the curtains. :) We had to buy a load of humane traps to catch them and put them back outside.

When I was a teenager though we had a white cat whose mum was a farm cat and if you went within ten feet of her when she'd caught something she'd just give you a look to say "I'll have you and all", so we tended to leave her to it.

[BeckyH]

My kitties bring in mice, baby rabbits, birds, chipmunks and the occasional squirrel. Mostly dead. Then I have to chase them back outside-they just want to show off and try to eat on the carpet.
in recent purchases, a tube of anti-itch cream for the bug bites on my ankles.

An absolute load of tat from my youngest one's school 'fayre'. I'm sure I bought some stuff that we gave away in the first place.

I'll also be buying two new tyres, some brake pads and discs tomorrow after managing to blow a tyre and being advised by the nice RAC man that the rest of the front of the car was working on a wing and a prayer.

I'll get back to you with the cost, after a little lie down...

[edash]

Reckon I probably need to replace the front tyres too. Done about 16k from new on the current ones.

2 new front tyres needed here too, to pass the MOT, not a lot else wrong with it though

Beers from:
http://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/

[Champagne Socialist]

aah, beers of europe are good
but Bitter Virtue is better
http://www.bittervirtue.co.uk/

shame about their website

[Deep Black]

You sure it's better than Beer of Europe, that site is pretty poor

[Champagne Socialist]

The site is absolutely awful.
Need to talk to them about that.
However, as an example, they've just come back from an annual pilgrimage to a trapist monastery in Belgium? Germany? Luxembourg? Somewhere, they monks have made the beer to a recipe perfected five hundred years ago from their own grown hops, barley, oats, yeast cultures, and from the water of the spring that.. springs within the grounds. They make only so much each year, keep enough for themselves and only sell on the excess. Some years there will be several casks, some years nothing. The monks only sell the beer directly from the monastery on a first come first served basis. The beer is exceptional.
Bitter Virtue is the only place that will have it some years. They do it because they love beers, and quality lagers, and stouts, porters, etc. Just for the love of the beer.

[edash]

Since they don't appear to offer a mail order service they probably reckon they don't need a full site. The Vineyard in Belfast is the same, their website doesn't tell you anything about the beer in stock, but as they don't deliver and the stock changes all the time they reckon there's no point - they've been known to sell out of some beers within hours of taking delivery.

[jag]

Goddamn Monks, nothing to do all day, but brew beer and tonic wines.

[Champagne Socialist]

yeah... damn them... just making and drinking beer.
If it wasn't for the abstinence and really uncomfortable beds you'd be tempted though, I know I would.

But they're only allowed one glass a day. Not sure if there's a limit on the actual size of the glass though.

[Champagne Socialist]

Just get me a cushion and unplug the barrel.

[jag]

3000 0.20g pellet/ bb ammunition and a laser sight for the gun.

[Champagne Socialist]

You really need to meet a friend of mine.
He has a bb Uzi & AK47 & a collection of crossbows.
You'd get along great

[RedKing]

Is his name John Rambo?

[jag]

I've given up golf, sold my clubs, because of my shoulder, so something has to take it's place. There's a great airsoft area about 3 miles from me that's only used on Sunday, so the rest of the week it's free to use. I haven't done any real airsoft battles yet, just 'plinking' (honest, that's the technical term for shooting at things!)
It's a wet miserable start to the day here, just sitting watching the rain pelt down, thinking what to do. Ha! a song just popped into me head...."I'm plinking in the rain, just plinking in the rain!"

[Champagne Socialist]

Red, nah. I think he just likes guns.

Jag, precisely how much of what are you currently smoking?

[jag]

:)Not enuff!

[jag]

My guns better than your gun!!
3000 pellets don't last long.
An AK 47 on auto sprayed all over the place.
My SAS was the damage today.
I am a nature lover, I pay £2.50 every month to the WWF(not the wrestling) but tonight I blew the head of a frog!

[Conscious Bob]

New Nokia 6300 as my old phone was banjaxed at the Bruce Springsteen concert.

[Deep Black]

Why do these modern phones break so easily

[BeckyH]

My mom had to get a new phone-a few weeks ago she was upset because her phone had gone through the wash. We got it dried out and it worked for a while. Then it went tits up, and she brought it in to see what was wrong. The service guy saw that it had been submerged and told her she needed to buy a new phone. Her comment to me?
"But it worked for so long! It was fine once it dried out!" I did mention to her that she was dammed lucky that it had worked at all after she laundered it. With some prodding she came to agree. And she found a way to get her new phone for cheap, so all was not lost.
I'm so broke my purchases lately have been on the order of a dozen eggs or a half tank of petrol. I do not recommend being unemployed anywhere with out the dole.

[jag]

I got that new Nintendo Wii Sports resort game with the new motion thingy. Pretty good fun with a crowd, but only a couple of the games are good as solo games.

[Champagne Socialist]

Dying Light = everything I hate about Britain, the novel.
White Tiger = 2008 booker winner
Flood = Baxter, flooding London

[jag]

'Grid' for the xbox, a motorola mobile to be used as an emergency phone with £30 credit, just in case, a numchuck for the wii, a quarter of dope, an extension lead so I can 'go live' on the xbox and play some hysterical foreigners at 3am and some uniball vision elite pens.

[Conscious Bob]

Is that in case of accident on an urbex?

[Champagne Socialist]

or to use as a step if you can't find a handy breezeblock?

[edash]

Loads of BrewDog beer. Well, my local specialist offie has just taken delivery of 70 cases of the stuff so it would be wrong of me not to take some off his hands.

What's a Room on a Broom? Hi Tang (G8 name btw)

Today I bought a puzzle thing called 'twisty', 4 rolls and a news of the world. A good sunday spent no money.

[Tangendentalism]

What's a Room on a Broom?

It's a children's book: Room on the Broom (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Room-Broom-Julia-Donaldson/dp/0333903382/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254741825&sr=8-1)


It's my nephew's 2nd birthday in a week or so. It's always really hard to stop myself from buying everything I see for him.

[RedKing]

After much er-ing and um-ing from me over the best deal, my wife cut to the chase and just went out and bought me the latest book by TMH. :eek:

[jag]

Would you adam and eve it, I had to buy a road atlas from Deeside Books in Ballatar, as I got lost on a roadrip up north.

[jag]

Ah there she is, and I'm sure the father from that prog is a new series called 'Modern family'

[Deep Black]

That's correct, though I've not seen it.

They have all done other things since, but Married was the biggest for then all I think. Katey Sagal (the mum - Peggy) was also Leela in Futurama

Also form the "Did you know" file: Christina Applegate was one of the founding members of The Pussycat Dolls (when they were a burlesque group)

[Deep Black]

A "deluxe peppa pig playset", pretty pants & not worth much more than the £2.99 I paid, from a charity shop. Variously between £15-£30 off tinternet

[Tangendentalism]

Absolutely.

It could be either one of these: 1 (http://www.auctiva.com/hostedimages/showimage.aspx?gid=825742&image=270975684&images=270975684&formats=0&format=0) or 2 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dalmation-Jumpsuit-Childrens-Fancy-Dress-3-5-YearsOld_W0QQitemZ260487304216QQcmdZViewItemQQptZA dult_Fancy_Dress_UK?hash=item3ca640d418)
