Gibberings CLXXXIX - Squirrel Nut Zippers, the Albert Hall and going cookerless

[koneko]

I'm really not heavily pushing boundaries at all, im well within my ODT tolerance, can barely even feel it tbh, and will be taking the 0.5 clonazes one at a time. Mr Boring and trying to be sensible would be more appropriate atm.

I just worry about you, I can't help it. So I'm glad to hear you're being sensible and not pushing boundaries. Mr Boring and sensible suits you a lot better, there is mystic and depth there :D

I've no idea what Ive done to be adored, but it does make me feel very good. %) And of course im going to like someone tremendously who makes me feel good. :D

Because you're a fab guy who deserves a lot more than you get out of this life. I love your serious but funny personality and not wanting to be indiscreet, the FB pages told me a lot more about you, and I liked that. You're definitely on my spectrum of cool people!

Smile and be happy

Btw: my drugs didn't come today

Thanks Kate for another hefty morale and confidence boost there.

I have actually been quite happy recently, I had been through a bit of a 'rough patch' at work where i was starting to become paranoid that i wasn't going to be accepted into the fold by my colleagues, but that has turned out to be mostly just in my mind; i did need to change a couple of bad habits that i had acquired which were beginning to annoy one or two colleagues, but it seems that the change has been noticed and appreciated i needn't worry about being cold shouldered. Obviously it's quite high on the miserable experiences list to have people turn against you, so I'm very relieved that that's been resolved, and i was just over-thinking and worrying too much about things that didn't merit it.

I hope your drugs come tomorrow, are you expecting anything exciting?

That's great you've got over that transition period with your colleagues, its always awkward. Bit of self awareness goes a long way. Unfortunately I speak to myself all the time which bugs the shit out of my office sharer...when I'm there 8) She has admitted since I've been off she misses it! :D

You're doing great - so I'll leave the house refurbishment chat for another time eh lol

Aye, I'm waiting for my one and only beloved Going mad here

We don't have enough 30mg codeine between us to have a cwe each...how fucking frustrating. This is the trouble with being a couple - cause I have enough for just me 8)

Oh, how I miss having that morning spliff - rolled with shaking hands, usually - snatched away from my trembling fingers.

Oh, how I miss the sudden adoption of a girlish voice upon a request for a few of my vallies.

Oh, how I miss having to hide bags of coke.

Oh, how I miss love's young dream.

 

[kingme]

evening folks. hows things?

i see all poetic

I miss the tea ritual at 6.00-6.30am in the mod thread and our chats

I can see you reciting poetry and prose to an audience actually, you'd be fucking epic Drama should be your second name after dark bastard - cheekbones

evening folks. hows things?

i see all poetic

Evening kingme - how's you and the new flat, new job etc.


I itch this is nice!

 

[kingme]

well everything is less than spectacular... the apartment is nice and roomy, but i still got a bit to clean... which ill do later on, depending on the state of my mind.... wink wink

the job is taking ages to get right with the papers and contract and couments and everything... plus, it s a new job which means new coworkers, new rituals, new hierarchies to learn and have imposed, new customs for the things we do.... did i mention im doing it for free while i got no contract? and i cant say i wont do it cuz that will slow things down even more...

the good thing is its not too stressful yet. the bad is im spending over 12h at work not doing much work for half the time...

and you kate? itching i see

We probably talk just as much nowadays, you sentimental sod! Those tea mornings were special though, I'll give you that.

I did used to perform, you know, despite what some female members of the Manchester indie rock community may tell you. Mostly rebel songs, a capella and drunk, but in bands when I was younger.

The flat sounds great - roomy is excellent, hopefully you have views. Cleaning is never ending, don't get too OCD on it lol.

Ack new jobs are hard once you get into the rhythm of it and the office cliques you'll be fine. But why the hell are you doing it for free? Are you a graduate intern? You spending so much time there will be noticed and if it gives you a chance to get to know the place and its processes never mind the other staff, it'll be of benefit in the long term I hope.

Are you missing your GF and family?


Itching just enough for it to be nice

Ock, I know I'm terrible sentimental sometimes I enjoyed those mornings immensely. You were a delight before you became a nightmare hahaha lolz 8)

I can definetely see you on a stage, yep - that sounds perfectly natural for you %) Nae karaoke when you're up here eh, I don't fancy taking you out to A&E unless we're tripping to Spiritualized.

Actually that sounds an even worse idea!!!!

Can you sing? I'm tone deaf but it doesn't stop me scaring the cats 8(

 

[kingme]

I'm awful sentimental too, as you're aware.

I can sort of sing. Mostly folk and country tunes, but scratchy. I had a beautiful voice until soapbar and booze wrecked it.

 

[Eveleivibe]

Hiya everyone. Evening kingme.

Well I never bought any alcohol. Had a nap instead

Evey

 

[koneko]

My apologies kingme I didn't realise you were married - she must miss you awfully.

I'll be wanting to hear it and the whistle. My oldest has loads of instruments, how are you on the bongo or sax, guitar etc?

You learnt Flower of Scotland by heart yet...or I'll live with the Skye Boat Song or the Bonny Banks of Loch Lomond. Nae Pretenders shite btw haha

 

[Sammy G]

I'm still tender with the whistle. I'm picking up flourishes and so on, but breath control is different.

I used to be able to play guitar. I can now play enough to accompany a variety of tunes. Most of them either sentimental or loathsome.

 

[koneko]

^
I do the tambourine, badly, ask Flo 8).....then we return to our cow bell and maracas group :D !!!!

Nightmare stuff %)

There's a lot of musically talented people in EADD I've got a say, a few of you can play guitar. Dan is ace at it. And there's Alby n suatty with their music (and I think Monsta? I've never heard him though, hope he's doing ok).

Was it Shambles who played guitar too?

Evey, I think its quite common for drug users to be creative types, there's plenty here. I even know of a few very talented "hidden" artist who've not come out yet
