Formerly A circus or a seaside pier, a mongrel or a sheepfuxor

you can tell by the top bit where it says "816 older messages are hidden." or whathaveyou

― gem (trisk), Monday, 23 August 2004 06:43 (twenty years ago)

It used to say on the new answers page (blah new answers, blahtyblah total). Now the total bits not there. Weird and annoying (I cant tell if its a big thread til I click on it)

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 06:45 (twenty years ago)

You do the 'last 50 posts only' thing Trayce?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 23 August 2004 06:51 (twenty years ago)

I do, yeah but even so I like to know how big certain threads are... it seems that feature fell off with the new server maybe?

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 06:55 (twenty years ago)

yeah but i only do the last 20 posts, and as soon as there is more than 20 it says "x messages are hidden" above the top one? is that what you mean?

― gem (trisk), Monday, 23 August 2004 06:59 (twenty years ago)

sorry, i am dim. you mean before you even open the thread. bit of shush over here.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 23 August 2004 07:01 (twenty years ago)

Ah, that's better.

I might have tomorrow night free after all.

― Barry Manilow, Monday, 23 August 2004 09:07 (twenty years ago)

Ah, I miss that show. I especially liked Queenie.

i have always wondered what these threads were about, can someone summarise them in 20 words or less please?

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:30 (twenty years ago)

antipodean banter

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:30 (twenty years ago)

ok, cheers.

― jed_ (jed), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:31 (twenty years ago)

Yeah we just talk crap, and anyones welcome but it might confuse you if the Aussie references go over yr head.

Speaking of which OMG did anyone see Neighbours last night? Harold's drooling mononlogue about lingerie and rubber and PVC!!! WTF...

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:32 (twenty years ago)

hahahah that was classic!! whoever wrote that is a genius

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:33 (twenty years ago)

Holy crap, seriously?! Hmm, he shoulda been at that wedding I went to on the weekend. Can you give more detail?

Yes jed, pop in from time to time, all are welcome!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:35 (twenty years ago)

Im serious! I couldnt believe I was watching Neighbours for a moment. The laydeez were all having one of those lingerie parties, you know, the Tupperware style ones. And then it cuts to this scene of Harold standing in the culdesac staring wistfully at them all thru the window (!!! but you couldnt see in). One of those other guys whos new and I cant remember his name, comes out to take out his bin and hes like "uhh... interested eh Harold?" being kind of teasing about it..

BUT NO! Harold then goes on for about 5 minutes about negligees and microfibre and seethru materials... and then he starts talking about PVC and rubber and corsets! Almost fell off me chair. Laughing that is.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:43 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha I'm sorry I missed that! The writers have a lot of fun with Harold don't they? I remember a very silly couple of episodes where he took up the tuba.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 23 August 2004 23:53 (twenty years ago)

I had to type that last phrase very carefully.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:15 (twenty years ago)

and you still left out an "it"

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:22 (twenty years ago)

now i have the image of gaz taking it up the tuba

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:23 (twenty years ago)

I got the 'please please please stop' thing.

FAPage? Yes please.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:26 (twenty years ago)

we are so alike. did you know my full name is garold?

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:28 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I knew you'd get it Adam.

Well lookit. I think I might go to Pause after work just like, anyway, and if anyone happens to be there also, then they will be subjected to me. Muahah. Wait that sounds bad.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:30 (twenty years ago)

Aha. What time?

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:31 (twenty years ago)

I want to write for Neighbours. Pays very well you know (10k an episode I think). V V hard to get an inroad writing the eps tho.

Didnt someone here say whoever plays Harold writes some of the Neighbours shows?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:32 (twenty years ago)

i like the way there are two very distinctly separate conversations going on here

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:32 (twenty years ago)

argh xpost.

Um... I can be there by 6, I'm thinking. (good excuse to bugger off early, heh)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:32 (twenty years ago)

It's like a conversation between four or five people at a cafe which suddenly splits into two separate ones between two or three people.

It must be fun playing Harold.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:34 (twenty years ago)

6 suits me. :)

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:49 (twenty years ago)

Harold is Ian Smith, who's script editor or something. He's also a proper playwright.

How do I know that? I don't even watch fakkin Neighbours.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:51 (twenty years ago)

multi talented harold

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:57 (twenty years ago)

The man with the golden valve.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 00:58 (twenty years ago)

Argh the visuals! Make them stop.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:02 (twenty years ago)

Hahahahaha!! I just got threatened by a customer. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO SACK ME??

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:04 (twenty years ago)

Er well, they *could* not give you yr payout dude ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:05 (twenty years ago)

But hell who cares, tell them what for!

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:05 (twenty years ago)

He threatened me over something that's nothing to do with me. I just said I'd get it sorted out. Blah, whenever.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:07 (twenty years ago)

threatened??? like, said he was gonna break your legs?

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:08 (twenty years ago)

"Yes sir, I am filing your complaint sir" *shove paper into shredder*

Haha gaz you think thats bad, we've had clients threaten to rip staff a new a-hole (in those words), one girl once had a guy say "I'm not speaking to a GIRL, put a man on" when she answered... Ive had people swear and scream abuse at me (and then it turned out the problem was their fault... HA!)

Ah, helpdesks.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:10 (twenty years ago)

He just said he was going to go to management if I didn't get something fixed, 'and you don't want that.' Like fuck I don't.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:10 (twenty years ago)

In fact, if he went to management, this company would get a taste of just how pissed off all our customers are.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:10 (twenty years ago)

Damn right there. I think management/CEOs dont know ANYWHERE NEAR enough about what really goes on in their companies. Its why things like the OneTel collapse was able to happen at all.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:12 (twenty years ago)

And on that note, I am going in search of lunch. Yum.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Tell your customer to take it up the ombudsman.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:14 (twenty years ago)

take it up the ombudsman

Typo of the century.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:18 (twenty years ago)

I dont think he did that by accident ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:19 (twenty years ago)

tell him to make like harold.

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:19 (twenty years ago)

FAP will be quick, I'll have to take off around 7. Argh everything's all over the place atm.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:22 (twenty years ago)

I'm very tense right now. I need a neck rub. And a million dollars.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:27 (twenty years ago)

Adam if you got other things on, its all good, we can do it some other day. I hate to make people feel rushed!

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:32 (twenty years ago)

Might be a good idea actually. That okay?

Sorry, I hate pulling out at short notice. But then we only decided to do it half an hour ago, so it's not so bad I guess.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:34 (twenty years ago)

*sigh* they are so alike...

heres a hypothetical: if you were in a meeting and someone said something about someone who was absent and that thing was not strictly true but was a kind of slap down of that person and you thought that was a good thing but also the person saying it was a prick would you speak up?

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:35 (twenty years ago)

You two pikers shall never meet (haha x-post)

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:35 (twenty years ago)

Depends on the prickfulness of the abselt person.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:36 (twenty years ago)

That's quite a complicated hypothetical gaz. So let me see if I understtod: a boofhead says something untrue about another boofhead?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:36 (twenty years ago)

Adam: its all cool :)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:37 (twenty years ago)

yes, basically. but it involves a non-boofhead (me) supporting or denying it.

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:37 (twenty years ago)

In such situs gaz I usually just keep stumm.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:38 (twenty years ago)

Aha. That's a thorny one. I mean, you don't want a prick constantly in your ear.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:39 (twenty years ago)

What is wrong with me today? I am a one man Carry On movie.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:40 (twenty years ago)

I think Trayce is right, keep stum.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:40 (twenty years ago)

fuck i hate politics.

i am off to a seminar. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:41 (twenty years ago)

Staying awake in seminars is the closest thing to impossible I have ever seen.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:43 (twenty years ago)

i am off to the sunshine. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:43 (twenty years ago)

Aw man I was all hyped up to going for a nice drink after work... now Ima just go home and be bored! ;(

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:48 (twenty years ago)

Sorry.

Think I'm too tired to hit the booze anyway. I didn't sleep at all last night, and now everything's spinning.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:58 (twenty years ago)

i am sick to death of snow.

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 01:58 (twenty years ago)

Its still snowing there?! God its sunny and 18 here... lovely day.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 02:04 (twenty years ago)

So, ferfuxsake, whats a girl gotta do around here to get all you FAPpers together in one room on the same day?

Are you all just avoiding me and making excuses? *sniff sob pout*

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 02:27 (twenty years ago)

i love the word "prim"

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 02:28 (twenty years ago)

I dunno, I'd love to Fap. I need a drink.

My boss just called me in to his office to see if I was alright, because apparently I've been skulking around like the Sandman these last couple of weeks.

I DON'T EVEN KNOW I'M DOING IT. NOTHING IS WRONG!

most of my friends pike on me these days, it's difficult not to feel like the common denominator. i didn't think i was that boring and unpleasant :(

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 02:36 (twenty years ago)

I'm a notorious piker, I don't mean to, but the shit seems to hit the fan whenever I really need a night out.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 02:41 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry Ms T, I have a reputation for being somewhat of a pikelet myself if the truth be told.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 02:41 (twenty years ago)

Jim - last time we went out for a drink you seemed really bored or tired or something! Maybe I was just wired up I dunno, but I felt like I was boring the pants off ya.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 02:43 (twenty years ago)

Oh, it so did not.

Ahem. Uhh... what?

Port? BLEUAGGH you old man.

There's nothing else, just beer [the smell of which 'er indoors hates] and wine in bottles.

I'm doing a personality questionnaire in order to attend a week-long careers course. I'm only on page 1 and already the questions are stupid.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:05 (twenty years ago)

Plus I like port PORT IS MY GOD so you can cram it missy.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:07 (twenty years ago)

what sort of questions are they almy?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:08 (twenty years ago)

Oh I hate that "drink whatever's about" thing, found me drinking peach schnapps diluted with water on the weekend, it did. Nick was most pissed off I'd finished off his schnapps, haha. Whoops.

I cannae drink beer. I tried, I really did - but it tastes, as my friend Moo would say, like wee. I stick to cider and white wine for the most. I like gin though.

God personality surveys suck! Apparently some people here at work are being made to do personality profiling... its all very WTF, but our team hasnt been asked, though I suppose its because we all got fired haha.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:08 (twenty years ago)

I can cram it? ooer.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:08 (twenty years ago)

what sort of questions are they almy?

'Most people...'

I have to say what most people are like. Are they tired easily, do they prefer accuracy over expediency, &c. It goes on and on.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:09 (twenty years ago)

Huh? "most people"? How very stupid Donnie Darko's teacher question.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:11 (twenty years ago)

they're after you're prejudices I suppose?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Tell the test to shove its fear/love lifeline up its anus.

Ah, I forgot about the butterscotch schnapps or whatever. And all the spirits and liqueurs.

Somehow I feel less guilty drinking port in broad daylight on a weekday.

Q110! They're phrasing the same questions in different ways now. CAN'T CATCH ME OUT YOU FREAKY PSYCHOLOGISTS.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 05:18 (twenty years ago)

Now it's asking me exactly the same questions, but applying them to me.

So you're right Col, it's the discrepancy between how about I feel about others and myself.

I want a big word to describe how I feel about this but I can't think of one.

Col: that there is Johnny the Homicidal Maniac by Jhonen Vasquez (the guy that went on to do the tremendously irritating INvader Zim). It is actually a rather sad story - I mean he's this horrible psycho who cuts up people who wronged him but you actually feel sorry for him too cuz he's so ... sad and empty of feeling.

So I brought my camera with me again today - I'm thinking I'll keep it on me all the time, so I can get those shots I'm constantly thinking "dammit I wish I had my camera with me" about. I really want to get back into some art things. Might buy a new Wacom tablet as well, and do some digital painting (the old Wacom is kinda crap and needs a plug in power supply!)

Yeah, never abandon your art or you will go mad with boredom and frustration like 90% of the population.

did you remove the gutteral vocals?

― gaz (gaz), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 23:37 (twenty years ago)

Col - cool stuff! I mean really, modern goth is just EBM/techno/electro tarted up with a gloomy worldview and deeper vocals, innit.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 23:41 (twenty years ago)

nope! actually the gutteral vocals are a point of issue, but we've decided if they don't like that stuff they'll take some of my sweeter stuff instead. But I think they'll come round when they hear the whole album. A local label has expressed an interest in the black metal electro anyway so there's always that option. Juggling juggling, always juggling...

Going gold in game release terminology means the gold master pressing of the CD/DVD has been made - indicating its v close to release date.

i didn't know it meant that either, it means very different things in the music world

Adam, San Andreas is gonna refer to an entire state, not a single city.

You got Los Santos, which is an analogue for Los Angeles - this is where your 'homies' will be...

...BUT...

...you have Las Venturras, substituting for Las Vegas, which is gonna look like Scorcese's Casino, mob killings and all...

....AND...

...San Fierra, standing in for San Francisco, with a lot of drugrunning and angry chinese madness.

Okay, so San Andreas sounds a bit better on that basis. Looked well-homie the first time I saw stuff about it.

Yeah the bike "lanes" here are shitful and no one has respeck for cyclists at all. I grew up used to dedicated bike paths and stuff, so I dont much like the idea of riding in traffic.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 26 August 2004 02:56 (twenty years ago)

i ride through the perth cbd all the time. of course it is much easier to navigate than most other cbds, being smaller and newer and all, and it took a little getting used to. but the traffic doesn't worry me a bit, the odd time there is a wanker but you get that in cars and on foot too.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 26 August 2004 02:59 (twenty years ago)

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 26 August 2004 03:07 (twenty years ago)

do you have a lot of bike couriers? my theory is that drivers are accustomed to bike couriers here being so reckless that the drivers are a bit wary of trying to run down any cyclists at all.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 26 August 2004 03:09 (twenty years ago)

we have many but mostly just in the CBD

― purple patch (electricsound), Thursday, 26 August 2004 03:13 (twenty years ago)

I saw one hanging off the back of a tram once, going up the steep hill bit of Collins street.

Tram driver leaned out and yelled at him to let go - guy wouldnt. Tram driver then proceeded to slam on the brakes, causing cyclist to faceplant into the back of the tram.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 26 August 2004 03:15 (twenty years ago)

*throws around stereotypes willynilly* i think breathing all the traffic fumes all day gives bike couriers brain damage, they all seem a bit tapped. they give other cyclists a bad name.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 26 August 2004 03:17 (twenty years ago)

Bike twat did indeed, Mikey, he was that person I had the livid screaming rant about because he "threatened" to "insult" me over my choice of pharmaceuticals. I took the cun' off my LJ friendslist. I've since found out he's a rude little shit thru other friends as well.

I know! Why he didnt just say "Trayce you are a twat, I dont wanna read about your drug habits STFU and take me off yr friendslist" I dont know. Instead it was "if you dont X, I will insult you". Uh... okey dokey.

oooer... I cant remember. Damn digital cameras, if I had the original unedited shot here it might have that in the info file thingy. Probably 200asa fairly slow speed (30-60ms?), but it could have been on auto. the apeture settings on my kodak are a bit weirdy. Sorry I'm so vague about it! It doesnt work like a standard SLR.

I woke up in such a nice rested mood and then there were NO TRAMS for over HALF AN HOUR and the tram that did come was a shitty old W class one and it went really slow then the driver decided he would never make his time so he made us all get out at Swan street and wait for the tram behind.

Dodgy indeed Jim - is that even kosher, the way trams just give up and turn back for the depot 5 stops early half the time, when theyre late? It seems wrong somehow - oh, we cant run late to the timetable but never fucking mind if the people ON the tram run late for their jobs... RAAAARGH! Hulk smash.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 August 2004 00:00 (twenty years ago)

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 30 August 2004 00:01 (twenty years ago)

Yeah its cos theyre running late, but Im not sure they are supposed to do this.

What annoys me is, its quite clear the W class trams run slower, break down more and can easily lose the stick off the overhead wires all the time - and yet despite bringing in a ton of them on Chapel st, they havent adjusted the timetable to suit.

Off it goes down a hill (only, well its a fake cow now innit) and roll roll bounce bounce it goes, then it gets to the bottom, boinks off a shed roof, and then you see the righted cow rather huffily trot away.

Then bloke is in pub tellign his mates the story.

What ever happened to that fige Cougars huge gazongas woman? She ended up in one of the refugee detention centres for a bit didnt she? Then made some big song and dance about how she was treated like shit and shoved in a room with all these poor people "I'm a Canadian you cant do this" bla bla.

They still show that ad which seems odd if it got her arrested.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 August 2004 03:51 (twenty years ago)

fige=five. I cant type.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 August 2004 03:51 (twenty years ago)

you're quite an authority on cougars ads trayce! i didn't know any of that stuff

mmmm... boob scotch

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 30 August 2004 03:56 (twenty years ago)

I think I just watch TV too much :(

Also, what Jim said. Um er... or something.

I dont even like bourbon!

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 August 2004 03:58 (twenty years ago)

jim, I have personally drunk boob scotch at a Bob Log gig.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:10 (twenty years ago)

Was it smoother, sweeter, more delicious than regular scotch? Or was it my imagination?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:11 (twenty years ago)

it's a proven fact that boob scotch is superior to non-boob scotch.

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:14 (twenty years ago)

i hate those booby cougar ads, particularly the one where they all get a slice of lemon. embodies the worst kind of yobbishness.

p.s. - what is boob scotch, does that just mean cougar or is it something more sinister?

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:15 (twenty years ago)

I agree gem!

I think boob scotch has something to do with boobage dipped therein.. ew.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:17 (twenty years ago)

i see. yes, ew. i don't think i would really want someone to be dipping any of their bodyparts into my drink personally. but different strokes etc!!

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:19 (twenty years ago)

"he idea of a Boob Scotch is pretty simple - Bob Log orders a scotch on the rocks - he actually got two, this time - and he invites one of the girls in attendance to dip her boob in the scotch. Boob in scotch = Boob Scotch."

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:20 (twenty years ago)

is that the girl's dedicated role? does bob log have a boobscotchgirl in his entourage?

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:21 (twenty years ago)

does she have very saggy boobs? how does she manage this feat? does she just whip it out of her bra etc or is there some stripping also involved?

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:22 (twenty years ago)

Maybe theyre really large glasses. Or small tits.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:24 (twenty years ago)

i think it's always audience members. standard mixed spirits glasses are fairly small usually aren't they? i haven't actually witnessed the scotch boobing myself, i think colin needs to weigh in here

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:26 (twenty years ago)

see that's where i get confused, mine are pretty small but i don't really see how i could "dip" one into a glass of scotch. unless it was really really full? or is it scotch-and-mixer? cause that would be kinda sticky.

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:26 (twenty years ago)

Maybe thats the idea? =)

Or maybe the ice gives nipplage!

neat scotch. couldn't you just lean forward though?

― purple patch (electricsound), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:28 (twenty years ago)

even if i leaned forward, i honestly don't think i would be able to dip one in a glass of neat scotch. unless maybe it was a shooter glass and it was filled to the brim? hmmm maybe my boobs just aren't disposed to boob scotch. such a shame!

― gem (trisk), Monday, 30 August 2004 04:30 (twenty years ago)

see, so i don't understand how her breast is going to get far enough into the glass to actually make contact with the scotch.

How about doing a few rehearsals without one first, just to see what sort of sound you're getting without one?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 01:44 (twenty years ago)

i have literally no idea what we sound like live. i've never heard a proper live recording of us. quite alarming really to think that people have been pissing in my pocket all this time. if i find we sound like shit i'm going to be very cross at my friends.

FWIW Jim, yr live sound is different to the recorded one - but thats not a bad thing at all. Its punchier and rockier live, simply by dint of you being unable to reproduce all those effects and strings and whatnot.

Maybe you could pull a Cocteau Twins and have a backing tape or sampler live, playing strings and kbds? =)

Is there a problem? I mean are the audiences dissatisfied? Are people heckling and going 'Give us more guitars, ya cunce!!'?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 02:43 (twenty years ago)

not exactly. i just think the deafening indifference and the surprise at the quality of our recordings vs. the snore festival of our live shows is becoming more obvious these days. i mean, we're never going to be my disco! but we could almost be the lucksmiths.

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 02:46 (twenty years ago)

So the general perception is, if only you could come over live like you come over on CD.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 02:49 (twenty years ago)

or at least project our positive qualities as well, yeah..

― purple patch (electricsound), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 02:50 (twenty years ago)

have you never recorded your shows with a dictaphone or a walkman? would you be averse to doing that? or are you wanting a better standard of live recording?

― The Lady Ms Lurex (lucylurex), Tuesday, 31 August 2004 03:05 (twenty years ago)

I thought he said "LA" but maybe its like "Elai", he kept going on about a tribe. Then somehow he got onto culture and arranged marriages and was insisting I was wrong when I said I will never marry and have kids. He was a bit of a "women get in the kitchen dammit" sort of dude. With nine kids. GOing on about gods plan and the "flower of creation" and stuff. Scary.

Why I always get the damn crazy drivers?

They're all a bit crazy. I like the crazy happy ones who say hello to everyone.

This is a speech Shane Maloney apparently gave to Scotch College boys
recently.
______________
Context: This speech was given by Victorian crime writer (and outspoken
public education activist) Shane Maloney to an assembly of boys at Scotch
College. He had been invited to conduct some workshops on writing (which he
did) and then to speak to the larger gathering (he was given no guidance on
what to speak on). Needless to say his speech caused quite a stir, with
some of the teachers and boys being very indignant.

Address to Scotch College

Shane Maloney

When I first received an enquiry about my availability to come and talk at
this school, I was naturally reluctant. After all, this school has little
to recommend it in the eyes of the wider community. Historically it has
been simply a machine for the transmission of inherited privilege. (At the
height of the Great Depression, for example, when many Australian families
hardly knew where their next meal was coming from, Scotch College was the
largest private school in the British Empire).

It is a place where boys from middle class backgrounds are sent to improve
their material prospects and to reproduce the values of their class, or
where the boys of insecure parents are sent to fulfil the distorted
ambitions of their fathers.

When I think of Scotch College, what comes immediately to mind are the
values and actions of its most prominent Old Boys. I think of the scene I
saw on television after Scotch Old Boy Jeff Kennett used his power and his
philosophy to close down the only high school in the state specifically
dedicated to the education of young Aboriginal people. How students from
that school came here and stood at the gates and how your Principal went
out and told them to go away.

I think of your old boy, David Kemp, the federal education minister, giving
millions of dollars of public money to enhance the marketability of schools
like this one justifying his actions with statistics and arguments that he
refuses to apply to the needs of the 70% of Australian families who CHOOSE
to educate their children in the democratic and equitable environment of
government schools.

I think, too, of the newspaper reports of the violent behaviour of some of
your students and the quick readiness with which these boys were defended
and excused in the courts by their adult class allies.

For these reasons, I was initially reluctant to come here. On the other
hand, I thought 'Well, all this is hardly the fault of the current crop of
students'.

It is not your fault, after all, that your families decided to
institutionalise you.

It is not your fault that your mothers and fathers elected to place you in
the emotionally distorting and educationally deficient environment of an
all-boys school.

It is not your fault that your parents lacked sufficient confidence in your
personal maturity and ability to respond to the opportunities offered by
government school education, and Australia has one of the best systems in
the world, by the way, despite the relentless propaganda to the contrary by
the vested interest of the private school lobby.

Right now, you are the victims.

Later, of course, society will be your victim, and will suffer from the
attitudes with which you are indoctrinated here.

But who knows? Just as prison does not always break the spirit of all who
are incarcerated there, perhaps you will not turn out to be a burden to
society.

Perhaps when you leave here, some of you will even manage to contribute to
the wellbeing of this country.

I certainly hope so.

But just to hedge my bets, I will be donating part of my fee today to the
campaign for public education.

Good luck with your studies and thanks for having me.

Ohhh, its an old speech and its reappeared online. I see now.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 00:31 (twenty years ago)

And hahaha I just read that mono thread and half the people replying to it went to private schools like Wesley and St Michaels etc.

Warning: do not start me on private education. I'll probably be very rude. I went to a poor state school that didnt even have enough, let alone up-to-date, books for some classes. I couldnt even choose to do the subjects I wanted, I would have to have done them by correspondance. I still did well enough to get into uni somehow but a lot of other people didnt...

argh I said I wouldnt start.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 00:48 (twenty years ago)

No, go on!

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 00:50 (twenty years ago)

i went to a country private, which is probably less prestigious than many melbourne urban state schools.. it's always amusing and irritating when i get put in the same basket as wesley or scotch cunce (not saying this is what you did trayce, just a general observation)..

― purple patch (electricsound), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 01:24 (twenty years ago)

Fruitful lives we learn to live, to take no more than we can give and in our school, Yarra Valley we trust.

Man, reading that made me smile so much, even though I am a private school teacher. It's okay, mine's more of the hippie, everyone-love-one-another, aware-of-social-issues kinda joint.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 02:27 (twenty years ago)

I think Adam went to a private school! I don't think he's become part of the ruling class, however.

― Shady Loch Lenin (haitch), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 03:31 (twenty years ago)

i went to a private school. i'm definitely not part of the ruling class. although mine was a catholic girls' school so they were keener for us to have babies and stay in the kitchen than wield power.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 03:34 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I should point out I dont think all private schools are bad - its more the schools with more money and power than sense thing. Scotch, Wesley, St Micks etc. They have PCs coming out of their arses. We had like 4 PCs for the whole school when I went thru (admittedly PCs hadnt really taken off in the late 80s though).

We had to swim in an unheated public pool for sports when it wasnt even properly summer yet. And in Canberra that means going for an enforced sports swim at 9am in 15 degree cold. Urgh.

Lots of very good public schools around of course. Things is better now than when I were a lass. I mean man - Id have killed to be able to do actual subjects like philosphy, Japanese, photgraphy! We didnt even cover architecture in art in year 12, "not enough time".

Man, did my school STINK.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 03:35 (twenty years ago)

Catholic schools dont count, gem =) They're really only private by definition and are often poorer than state schools.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 03:36 (twenty years ago)

And if Adam's a private schoolboy too I shall point and laff. And then demand pix of him in his uniform.

..what?

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 03:36 (twenty years ago)

oh well that's alright then ;)

erm it certainly wasn't poor though, i don't think most catholic schools here are poor actually, they're mostly rolling in dough and sitting on prime riverside real estate. that might be a perth thing. or maybe it's only catholic boarding schools? they definitely aren't as prestigious as the anglican ones here either though.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 03:38 (twenty years ago)

Dunno! Lands a big thing for the church tho innit.

Jesus. I just got chatted to by one of the guys on another team here asking how serious I was about leaving, and was I interested in a role in his team that is effectively what I already do now, only focussing purely on VoIP provisioning.

If the pay will be better than what I'm on now I'm thinking I might go for it. But I want my payout. Argh. I'm so confused now. I dont wanna work for teh Man, but Nick's not making any money at the moment so I need to be careful... argh argh bugger :(

― tinydemons, Thursday, 2 September 2004 05:08 (twenty years ago)

Trayce - I've got the same problem! It's become a habit, actually, to click my jaw before speaking so it doesn't pop in the middle of conversation.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Thursday, 2 September 2004 05:10 (twenty years ago)

Mine pops wether I like it or not, though I know what you mean - its like you give it an "unhinge" in the hope it'll bahave, and that used to work for me, lately it isnt though. Im lucky I dont sing for a living, cos every time I sing, my jaws clacking like castanets. And the only solution Ive had offered is those ridiculous TMJ mouthguards which do nothing but make me drool everywhere in my sleep.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 2 September 2004 05:12 (twenty years ago)

I'm worried about getting to that point. Lately I've been having a minor, throbby pain above the roof of my mouth that I believe is connected. I haven't got real insurance now, so I'm just having to deal with it. I hope it's not, like, a brainleak.

― x j e r e m y (x Jeremy), Thursday, 2 September 2004 05:14 (twenty years ago)

I get this throbbing pain in my groinal region.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 2 September 2004 05:16 (twenty years ago)

Brainleak!!! :o

Best get it checked, tho yeah I avoid the dentist too, as although we have a good healthcare system here, dentistry is not covered under medicare, and I cant afford private health insurance. So I've put it off for 10 years. My teef are fine, my jaw and neck and back and hips and knees and ankles are all totally fucked up and misaligned.

Someone should send me back for a refund :(

The mouthguards are useless. Sorry, I wish I could help properly.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 2 September 2004 08:58 (twenty years ago)

Hey Adam - a guy at work has asked me to apply for this job thats kind of ok, as in its similar to what I do now... and now I fuckin' dont know wether to apply for it (cos, its a job innit) or run screaming cos I hate AA*T so much.

Im so confuuuuused :( WWDDD?

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 4 September 2004 00:49 (twenty years ago)

you could apply and continue looking ouside for another job as well?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Saturday, 4 September 2004 00:55 (twenty years ago)

Well I havent been looking outside yet cos my job doesnt finish til Nov 30 or thereabouts.

But the other catch is that I believe (though I will have to talk to the guy to confirm this) this job is what they call "80% fit" which means, as a person facing redundancy, theyve found me a new position. If I am offered it and dont take it, I also lose my payout. So Im a bit wary...

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 4 September 2004 00:59 (twenty years ago)

Ah fuck, that's a bit of a quandary.

Is it worth waiting? If you get your payout, great. If you get put into this other job, great. There's no bad outcome then, is there?*

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 4 September 2004 01:06 (twenty years ago)

are you being ingenuous there adam?

― gaz (gaz), Wednesday, 8 September 2004 10:35 (twenty years ago)

Did anyone just see 'Alone Across Australia' with Jon Muir on ABC just then? It was amazing to me. I can't even begin to describe it.

BUT the most amazing part for me was right at the end - the Aboriginal version of 'Walzing Matilda' that played out over the credits. I was dumbfounded. It sounded as if the song, and the whole culture that gave rise to it. It had swinging clapstick, and vocal harmony, and the vocals were a pidgin hybrid. It GROOVED like a BASTARD and it was 100% dreamtime in flavour: Victorian Anglo-Australian culture presented as a dreamtime legend. I was mindfucked by this angle. The sense of seeing your own cuture through aboriginal eyes! It was like the song was judged drenched in eternity and the desert.

Gaz, I was wondering and hoping that you might have some information on that recording?

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 8 September 2004 11:37 (twenty years ago)

Dammit, we don't know enough about our country's native cultures. That's my Next Big Thing, to learn and understand it.

Ingenuous? Possibly, but I was definitely being ert.

― Sexual Air Supply (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 8 September 2004 11:44 (twenty years ago)

Well I'd never liked that song but last night I heard a version I liked a lot! And why stop there? I could think of a few more recent songs that could benefit from the same treatment.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 8 September 2004 21:03 (twenty years ago)

i dunno col. i can ask. i only know the Trevor Adamson vers which is in Pitjantatjara, but is more a country singalong type thing

― gaz (gaz), Wednesday, 8 September 2004 21:08 (twenty years ago)

That ain't it. This one's got no country influences - just clapstick and vocals (polynesian harmonies).

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Wednesday, 8 September 2004 21:10 (twenty years ago)

i will ask our aboriginal broadcaster.

Yeah Kozolek (well, Red House Painters) has done accadacca and KISS covers. I havent heard the AC/DC ones to be honest. If he plays something like "Down Through" or "Katysong" or "Uncle Joe" I'll be happy tho. If I end up going.

what is fondue? i hear people speaking of it but i've really never had any idea what it means.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 9 September 2004 01:35 (twenty years ago)

its like a little pot over a burner and its full of either melted cheese or melted chocolate and you dip things in it and eat them

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 9 September 2004 01:36 (twenty years ago)

so it's like hot dip? what sort of things do you dip in there? is it just normal cheese or a special sort?

― gaz (gaz), Thursday, 9 September 2004 01:38 (twenty years ago)

Cheese fondue: usuually a base of a white sauce type mix, then add a little kirsch (I think?), then the cheese, usually a mix of gruyere, cheddar and swiss or somehting but I think any combo of melty-goo type cheese and a strong bitey would work.

So you have this lovely melty cheesy goo which you dip bread cubes and bits of veg into. Sortof a very kitsch 70s communal thing, I gave my best friend a set for his wedding though. Bastards havent used it yet either! heh.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 9 September 2004 01:39 (twenty years ago)

crutons i think...and fruit in the chocolate one. i don't know about the cheese.

what's kirsch? i actually thought it was cherry liqueur, but surely you don't put that in with the bitey cheese???? i am going to have to look into this fondue phenomenon, i am intrigued.

Oh hang on gem, you were right!
Kind of:

Kirsch is a dry, clear brandy distilled from black morello cherries and is infused with their unique aroma and taste. Do not confuse kirsch with crème de kirsch, a sweet cherry liqueur.

For other brandies, see apple brandy, apricot brandy, blackberry brandy, calvados, framboise, and marc de Champagne.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 9 September 2004 01:51 (twenty years ago)

cheese goes with all fruits, wines and liquors. I imagine you could put any fruity alcohol in the fondue. Or vodka for that matter, why not? It's just to thin it out a little and give it that authentic 'sweet and gooey' 70's taste.

― the music mole (colin s barrow), Thursday, 9 September 2004 01:51 (twenty years ago)

Apparently kirsch is also some curtain company. Thanks google.
