Gibberings CXVIII: We used to score using phone boxes

[badandwicked]

I'm ok Miss Wicked bar my Fuked up Toe (yeah it's still fuked they messed it up big time )
& having to lay out over £120 in domestic bills just a minute ago./

Other than that n a nasty cold dandy . Yeah tis mild gotta go to the town centre in a bit . People travel from all over teh world to see it but to me it's a fukin pain in the arse !!

Elton . Only when he played piano for Marc Bolan you can see him in one of the T Rex vids can't remember which one.

Sorry about your toe brimz, theres a saying 'no foot, no horse' and its the same with us humans isn't it, foot problems are a bitch. I saw you post elsewhere about it but cant remember the details. Healthcare is good in this country but its hard to come to terms with when mistakes are made. Hows your circulation? If its shot as you know that can delay healing. Maybe dont shoot up till the anti-b's have worked?

MM thinks you mean Ben Elton. He really likes his work with Lloyd-Webber, that Queen tribute thing. It's what he plays in the van.

hahaa I can just see it...

 

[brimz]

I've had 3 courses of Fluclox am waiting for a swab to be analysed atm . Fuked if i'm gonna not take at least some drugs . I have only had one drink in about 5 weeks mind

 

[badandwicked]

Once they figure out what bacteria it is you'll be right as rain in no time. My friends mum had a wound that wouldnt heal and they ended up getting a foreign specialist flown over to clean it twice daily under a microscope, a new technique apparently.

Of course you need to take some drugs just saying think of your circulation system as you head into middle age bad circulation and infections go hand in hand. none of us are invincible we need to look after our bodies before its too late. Says she sparking up another roll up.

 

[Shambles]

Wahey! New clique. Just me and Shambles.

Now that's what I call a clique %)

I hope so , it's been over a month of fuk ups so far . Yeah i appreciate the sentiment .

 

[eclipsedesign]

Snoll-de-Roll: Has Been is a corking album... in some ways. I must admit I genuinely do like (in a totally non-ironic stylee) his version of Common People though

Wow have I been on another planet most of my life? Since when did William Shatner write music?! This is brilliant.

Determined to make today productive, have a 15 minute presentation to make, public speaking will be the death of me!

 

[Shambles]

You were previously unaware of Shatner's musical output, Eclipse?!? You have some catching up to do

William Shatner - Iron Man

It rocks. Oh lawdy oh yes it does. It rocks hard %)

Pictorial proof of Shatner's innate musicality...

 

[jancrow]

He really does bring out, enhance, even, the awkward scansion of those lyrics. Good on him.

 

[Shambles]

^^ Indeed, JC. The lyrics to Iron Man have long amazed me for the near-incomprehensible fact that somebody, somewhere thought they should be lyrics in the first place. It's the kinda lyric that one may only really expect to sally forth from the "mind" of some kinda mutant, retarded offspring of a deeply unnatural coupling between Georgie Dubya and Dan Quayle or summat. So far beyond stupidity that they risk crimping off from this universe and instigating some kinda causally connected subspace paradox - perhaps the trigger point for an actual Armageddon. Complete with Bruce Willis (surely the only sane choice in this situation) to save us all. Inna mucky vest.

Continuing a theme... Shatner - Spirit in the Sky. To be fair, he truly does murder that one. Well, murders it slightly more heinously than usual anyway. Leave the playlist going for his version of Mr Tambourine Man which is a true golden-era Shatner masterpiece

 

[Myshkin]

Well seeing as how they're both senile their opinions don't really count. And Sam's into Danzig so I'm not even going to bother with that one....

Well at least nobody could ever mistake Danzig for being (whispers and wrinkles nose) one of them:

Paradoxically, despite being fucking appalling lyrically, as you so comprehensively demonstrate above, it's a brilliant song. Perhaps the blatant awfulness of the words amplifies the brilliance of the opening riff and robotic voice through extreme contrast or something. I don't know, but it's like something out of a sub-Hallmark greetings card eg 'Sorry to hear that you've got the cancer / but with all those fags you were really a chancer / and the bacteria dining on your nuts / are there because your wife's a slut. Best wishes, Mum'.

Wikipedia tells me that it was originally called 'Iron Bloke'. I know that's just looking shit up on wikipedia but still, what a revelation.

 

[Shambles]

^ Iron Bloke ftw

Shambles that shit is beyond arcane.

Arcane? Moi? Shoorly shome mishtake, shirrah?!? Who said quitting tramadol sends ya "a bit funny" and it tends to show? :D

One more for the road...

Shatner - Planet Earth

Am actually really liking this one. Have very mixed feelings when it comes to Duran Duran but that tune's a bit of a corker and Shatner's vocals work way better than that tosser le Bon's did

 

[Shambles]

Hehe. I've been saying right from the getgo that all the fuss about MXE (and close RC cousins) and mu receptors was bollocks. Nice to see in amongst me ramblings there is occasionally a lomtick of sense and reality to be found a-lurking. With the emphasis very much on the "occasionally" part 8)

 

[Marmalade]

Well chuffed for my sis this morning. She's been in a bit of a funk, due to exposure to the usual family drama (from my bro's side), but this morning she got persistently called on her mobile. She finally answered it, and it was Heart FM. She's won another comp of a 42inch HD Telly, and a years full subscription to Sky, and their whole package incl HD (TV/phone/BB) ... incl installation

She had to tell a joke on air apparently, and when she rang me to tell me, she couldn't talk properly or get her words out cause she was so nervous and hyper ventilating after doing the deed. She's insanely shy and quiet and wouldn't of even entered the comp if she knew about the on air thing.

She also won a DVD today, and a big hamper of cheese in 2 other comps.

 

[Shambles]

Congrats to Sis Marmz

Nice big tellybox and free Sky with all the bobbins ferra year ain't bad for telling a joke really. What was the joke? I feel it near-essential to the emotinal arc of the tale to be felt full-force.

 

[Mailmonkey]

Only in EADD would I be met with disbelief for liking Elton. (I know S/HM and sam believe me anyway, even if bandw doesn't)

Like pontifex said, its more than the music, his look, his love of hedonism, and so many of his upbeat tunes are fucking excellent.

I draw the line at his ballads, of which there were many....but he can fucking SING, and play the piano ace....

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Saturday Night's alright for fighting and Crocodile Rock are never far away from the top of my drugs playlist.

You're sacked MM. I don't know what from yet, but you're sacked.

 

[StrutterGear]

Finally home, had a fucking mare at uni. Shit not printing, stuff getting bound with blank pieces of paper, cunts everywhere, arghhhh.

Got all three courseworks in though. Score one for the lazy man.

 

[Mailmonkey]

Got all three courseworks in though.

I would advise a 3 month break now (x 3 as it was 3 pieces of work) so 9 months.

 

[StrutterGear]

I would advise a 3 month break now (x 3 as it was 3 pieces of work) so 9 months.

From a HR perspective I think it would be the best if I doubled the 9 month break to 18 months just to be sure. Nobody wants to die from an educational overdose.

On a more serious note, I have consumed 16 cans of Red Bull in the past 2 and a bit days. Wonder what colour my insides are.
