I was waiting for one of these to appear
Mostly because I couldn't be bothered to make one.


Evening one and all!

Greetings Penguin and Tulip
It looks like I'm turning into the only one with immunity to thread-starting amnesia.

How are you all this evening?

Spakka, Tulip dearest
I'm not doing too badly. Was in uni 9 - 5.30 today, but it actually proved to be quite highly productive. Woo. Plus I only soldered my hand once. Go me.

Are we all up to fun things this evening? I presume Tulip is working?

I've just recieved a big pile of stuff from Amazon, so I'm a happy little Spakka.

@POD: That sounds painful. Doesn't the pain keep reminding you that this is a bad thing?
( mistaspakkaman - overstimulated, overwhelmed and over the top., Mon 23 Mar 2009, 20:55, Reply)

You would think so, wouldn't you?
But still I seem to do it quite a lot. I also managed to flick hot solder onto my arm at one point, which was actually a bit sore.

Bit quiet today.

EDIT: Winamp on Shuffle Everything has thrown up Kate Bush: Babooshka. I didn't even know I had this.

only once, Penguin? ouchies!
I hope you held it under cold water for a very long time.

is it still all hurty?

you are correct, btw, I am at work. again.

edit@spakka, what did you have land from the zon of ama?
(happylittletulip helpless and delicious, Mon 23 Mar 2009, 21:13, Reply)

Yes, mostly only once
And no, I didn't put it under water, I kept soldering. And no, it's not sore anymore. Thank you for asking.

Sucks to be at work. I've just stopped doing stuff for the night.

Also, my awesome electronics board has finally been dispatched. This also explains why it hasn't arrived yet though...

Shuffle gets more interesting when the shuffled songs trigger long-forgotten memories.

@Tulip:
A mixture of Books, PSP games, PC games and a CD and a DVD.
The books are the sequels to Harry Turtledove's Worldwar series.
I was given a £120 Amazon Gift Certificate as a Christmas gift by my company and I still haven't finished using it.

T'is windy here in West-London. I usually leave my 'bicycle pyjamas' (a plastic cover that protects my bike from rain and the eyes of thieves) next to where I park my bike when I'm away, but it must have been blown away.

Are you returning for good?

And the best part is
moving your pin on the b3tamap!

What do you mean, obsessed?
( The Light In Giftwrap won't play poker with the Skull Spark Joker, Mon 23 Mar 2009, 21:29, Reply)

yup
coming back for good - marmite, boyfriend, job, and baby on the way - all fine reasons to return!

am I still the only yank-land pin on the map LIC?

Those would be the Colonization series, right?

Well, there was a brief appearance of a beernutz pin, but then it disappeared again.

I know there's a bunch of US QOTW posters, but none of them seem to have a pin...

they're probably
unaware that the large land mass is actually the USA, judging by some of my colleague's geographical awareness. Honestly, one PhD student here thought that London was in amsterdam, and that Scotland was in Sweden.

Now that...
Would be the punishment fitting the crime!

Go me!
After having lived in my flat for nearly 6 months, I've finally eaten the last of the biscuits I got myself when I first moved in!

Evening Spakka!

Aren't they a bit stale?

They're still a few months from their sell-by date.

I suffer from living near toomany convenience stores, and on my first day, went on a biscuit-buying spree. Staleness is my punishment for boundless biscuit buying.

EDIT: @TLiC: Yes, that is the Colonization series.

Woo!
New Comic!

@Spakka
I did something similar with teabags, lived in a place for nearly a year and still didn't finish the ones I bought on my first shopping spree.

Biscuits would never last that long in my house though, no matter how many I bought.

I don't take sugar in my tea
So I still have about a quarter of the sugar I moved in with.

15 years ago.

TLiC is the winner
Is this a record?

At the very least there's a dull letter to the newspaper in this, no?
(GarbageFan didn't know what to have as a board sig on, Mon 23 Mar 2009, 22:12, Reply)

Don't get me started on the salt
At least other people want sugar when they come round.

I don't do much actual cooking so I still probably have 2/3rds of the salt I moved in with.

Hurrah for TLiC
Perhaps we could hold a b3ta bring-your-old-unused-ingredients cooking-bash?

Meanwhile, I'm now playing Powerstone on my PSP. I've not played it since I worked at a company that had a Dreamcast in it's recreation room. That was some 10 years ago.
( mistaspakkaman - overstimulated, overwhelmed and over the top., Mon 23 Mar 2009, 22:29, Reply)

Sugar and Salt
are both preservatives in and of themselves.

So you can keep them effectively forever.

Not so much with other ingredients.

Well...
Quiet tonight innit?

I just bought another remote control Dalek.

*Sighs*

As if I don't have enough already...

You are the dalek king.

Another one, DG?
Well, your efforts have to be applauded and respected if nothing else.


*nothing else*
(ReindeerOfDeath wants a holiday on, Mon 23 Mar 2009, 23:01, Reply)

What can I say?
I work hard, earn money, and it was thirty quid off...

Plus it's nice and shiny and silver with black knobbly bits. What's not to like?

:D

It's very dalek-y, honest!

Not yet
