that new JB Hi-Fi on Bourke Street has an AMON DUUL II section, you know.

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:44 (twenty years ago)

I don't even know what that is.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

Wait... there's a JB on Bourke St now? Where??

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:46 (twenty years ago)

is it where Allans was?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:47 (twenty years ago)

it's down an escalator under Village cinema. everything's so neat and fresh!

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:48 (twenty years ago)

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT JAMSTER THING ON THE TV ADVERT?

Also, aspiring paedophiles: Nikki Webster is in the new FHM.

Why did I have to watch Good Morning Australia today?

ESound - Opposite side of the street. Used to be a Timezone?

well it has only been open two days, give it a few weeks to get more JB-like.

OMG

You have to be careful with JB these days. That one in Brighton [Melb] charges way too much for everything.

WHY DEAR GOD, WHY!? WHY DO I WANT A RING TONE OF IT? WHY DOES IT NEED GENETALIA? WHY WHY WHY!?

― Sasha (sgh), Friday, 8 April 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

a ringtone with genitalia? now that's taking polyphony a bit too far

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 8 April 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Last few times I've been in there comparing prices, Brighton's been way more expensive than everywhere else.

DSE Powerhouse is always worth a try for music and DVDs now. The range isn't as extensive but the prices are usually lower.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 8 April 2005 02:03 (twenty years ago)

Everything's more expensive in Brighton and South Yarra cos people there dont give a rats how much somethin' costs, see.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 April 2005 02:09 (twenty years ago)

Ahhh! See we didn't even think of that, we thought it was because it's not close to any other music/DVD shops.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 8 April 2005 02:15 (twenty years ago)

Nuggets II is not as good as Nuggets I. but it's still pretty good.

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 8 April 2005 02:38 (twenty years ago)

really? i found the opposite. there's a lot of I that i really don't get into. II is patchy and a lot of the best bits are on Rubble (which i had first) but its highlights are worth every penny

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Friday, 8 April 2005 03:13 (twenty years ago)

do i need nuggets? i heard a few tracks and though it was great and goldie got copies and i made mp3s on them on computer and forgot and then came back later and burned the cds and then a month or so later when i went to listen to it it had mysteriously changed into harry smith american folk thing.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 8 April 2005 03:16 (twenty years ago)

whilst i really like having both boxes, you could easily distill them into one or two cds per box of essential tracks.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 8 April 2005 03:17 (twenty years ago)

I think I got that job!

The boss guy just phoned me and asked me to come in to have a chat to his tech guy's boss on Monday. BAM!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 April 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

that means no doobie this weekend!!

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 8 April 2005 03:23 (twenty years ago)

hooray for trayce!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 8 April 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

80 gb model, phwoar.

that first disc on I, the original Nuggets comp, is almost perfect as is. (hence the rep, i guess.) but there's great tracks all the way through the other three discs. maybe I just need to give II another listen, the first one took a while to click as well and I haven't really listened to II that much yet.

congrats trayce!

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 8 April 2005 03:25 (twenty years ago)

Yeah this weekend's gotte be a clean one, I think ;)

Congratulations Trayce. Didn't I say you'd get it??! huh?! :)

― Kate's evil twin (papa november), Friday, 8 April 2005 04:35 (twenty years ago)

Well, I dont know for 100% sure yet! But I assume if I'm being asked in to chat to the bigger boss, its that usual second interview which is the formality re pay and conditions. So yeah... thanks all :D

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 April 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

yay Trayce!!!

― moley (moley), Friday, 8 April 2005 04:54 (twenty years ago)

My last job was three interviews. The fourth was discussion about pay etc. I think that was unusual though.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 8 April 2005 04:56 (twenty years ago)

Yeah but did you have to do tests or anything? I havent had to for this one - in fact I'm thinking they might possibly be wanting to work out what they can use me/my skills for, rather than me being hired and learning the role. At least I hope so.

Its kind of a new startup arm of the company so theres lots of process and documentation to be done. I love that idea - what I hated abt AyAyPT was that they were so old and big and set in their corporate ways, they kind of clashed with Conn3ct's way sof doing things, so when we merged, we were having all our usual procedures rejected and scoffed at by Sydney pointyhaireds. ARGH! I hate being told "this is how its done and thats it, you cant change this" when you know it is inefficient.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 April 2005 05:00 (twenty years ago)

Tests? Nah, just spoke to loads of people.

Oh so there was a merger? Now the name makes sense...

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 8 April 2005 05:01 (twenty years ago)

Yeah I was hired by what was connect.com.au - that was great, a midsize company, they ran Smartchat back then (before aap* handed it to AOL or someone).

The buyout'd already happened when I was hired in 99 but they were a seperate entity and we were always promised that wouldn't change.

Then it did. And then ppl started getting the arse, or depts moved interstate. And ppl quit cos things were going to shit.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 8 April 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

Hey I know that feeling.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 8 April 2005 12:45 (twenty years ago)

Man, I have a massive paper to write on the fucking KLA's and New Basics. I want to put a gun to my head. This stuff is painfully dull.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Saturday, 9 April 2005 00:37 (twenty years ago)

yeah i have a massive paper to write too on what extent the right to vote is protected by the constitution and what are the sources and limitations of state extraterritorial legislative power. it's not dull so much as so incredibly complicated it makes my brain hurt.

― gem (trisk), Saturday, 9 April 2005 01:08 (twenty years ago)

Mine wouldn't be so hard if the Education Queensland website wasn't utter garbage and the hyperlink with the report on the KLA's wasn't broken. It's due Monday and basically I'm fucked.

Ah well. I'm off the the Art Gallery with my Mum shortly. If I get a pass conceded I don't really care. It'd be my first in 3 and a half years. Assessment only worth 15% anyway.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Saturday, 9 April 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

Education Queensland are, to put it mildly, a bunch of scum-sucking dick-faces.

And their curricula suck.

― edward o (edwardo), Saturday, 9 April 2005 01:14 (twenty years ago)

yeah my assignment is only worth 10% and i have spent more time on it than on any other thing so far this semester. better be a bloody question on it in the exam. OR ELSE.

WHY IS IT SO HOT FFS.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 9 April 2005 06:30 (twenty years ago)

Ugh. I'm supposed to be seeing someone in a few hours, and I've vaguely dropped the hint that I'm interested and FEEL TERRIBLE ABOUT EVERYTHING and am considering cancelling just because of this mountain of work.

I should probably ask to be talked out of doing this.

― edward o (edwardo), Saturday, 9 April 2005 06:48 (twenty years ago)

stop! edward! go fuck!

― edward o (edwardo), Saturday, 9 April 2005 09:23 (twenty years ago)

Bad, but only because I had a bad time. I've worked out that I actually had no feelings to begin with, so it's not as if I'm embarrassed or did something stupid.

Eh, who cares.

― edward o (edwardo), Saturday, 9 April 2005 13:54 (twenty years ago)

I care.

I had a shit night too, but I doubt that makes you feel any better.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Saturday, 9 April 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

Actually, it was fine because I was in the position of being able to leave at a time of my choosing. That being the point where I worked out that I was only SEEING signs of possible like-age because my self esteem had been at a horrible ebb. Now, somewhat recovered, I know (a) I can do so much better, (b) it would have been just awful, and (c) contra to the realisation after a recent experience in which an emotionally powerful interaction made me feel strange, confused and desiring somehing uncomplicated, WHAT I ACTUALLY NEED IS SOMEONE WHO CAN STRING A SENTENCE TOGETHER, HAS OPINIONS ON THINGS AND DOES NOT DANCE TO "TOXIC" IRONICALLY.

Ahem, that's all for that.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 02:13 (twenty years ago)

I always meant to give that last High Pass Filter album a listen.

maybe I should invent my own krautrock tape experiment. anybody got an unused bass?!

no, my bass has been used before.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 02:52 (twenty years ago)

pls to define "krauty" - you mean like Can, and that kind of stuff? Not that Im even sure what they are like, Ive only heard Czukay solo stuff!

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 04:15 (twenty years ago)

stereolab minus the bits that minimum chips ripped off

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 04:16 (twenty years ago)

"they sound like that other band you dont know as well".

Heh. God I'm out of the loop. Ive heard like, 2 stereolab songs :(

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 04:17 (twenty years ago)

well, i've only heard one can song (but more than a few can covers)

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

which is a bit of an oversight really

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 04:19 (twenty years ago)

Ditto, I really have been meaning to get some Can stuff, I got a jB voucher for xmas so I should go spend!

sif JB would have any Can anyway mind you.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 04:20 (twenty years ago)

JB have the Can reissues! they're in these cases with rounded-off corners, get them rather than the old ones because they sound a bit muted and muddy.

― haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 04:40 (twenty years ago)

Ooh, thanks H! I will look for them.

He's a strange man. I used to have some songs taped off radio from "Der Est is Rot", they were cool, one was this sort of dubby reggae/african thing with samples from Bulgarian Voices all over it.

trayce get future days. or ege yam wosname. the mid period stuff catches pop and weirdo german stuff (and future days is a distant partner to - o - remain in light?) the earlier stuff is grebt but can be fucking hard work (he says - tago mago is me favourite but you gotta like some japanese nutter scatting along to too many buttons pressed on the home organs drum machine, or side long things that go "aaaaaauhm. auuuuugm"

hey mully and haitch!

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

out of reach? its czukay-less. i am the only fule in the world who likes it.

yes its from movies i send to you sometime.

i also think the record trayce mentions der osten is rot is good - although its maligned elsewhere.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

even though I still enjoy listening to it, my copy of ege bamyasi suffers from the sound quality being really thin. i'm-a get the remaster, I think.

(xp: hi tad!)

Nah before that it were all Rock Arena and stuff, innit.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:38 (twenty years ago)

for the first couple of years of its existence, they only showed the band name for each video (not the song name). weird.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:40 (twenty years ago)

i had a vid on rage once! col was (maybe) in it. it featured a rollercoaster. at least i wanted it to. i fear someone re-editied my edit and chopped the rollercoaster out. for fear the band might appear to be fun

i am surprised so many people like can to be honest.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:40 (twenty years ago)

hey trayce -- did you get the job for sure?

my parents used to have a washing machine that would spazz out -- the thing would shake like a mofo when it was near the end of the cycle. it never escaped the basement, though.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:41 (twenty years ago)

trayce has been taken by the bezerker washing machine!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:42 (twenty years ago)

you should try sitting on it trayce

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

i am surprised so many people like can to be honest.

i'm (pleasantly) surprised that so many people like as much krautrock as they do. as i am sure the krautrockers are. i guess it just sounds more familiar to folks now than it did when it first came out.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

coz folks plain forgot how to play more than one chord. its easier that way.

no sorry. it was mandy's footage but i wanted to fck the other person involved. funily enough a year or so later i got the chance...and couldn't get it up! the only failure in my career i swear. we had jsut watched the james mason version of lolita. in her bed. maybe that had something to do with it.

didn't brad use to fuck mandy?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 12 April 2005 10:09 (twenty years ago)

oops sorry delete that. i like mandy. she probably remembers me. i'm the guy who didn't want to fuck her. or maybe i was just confused.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 April 2005 04:54 (twenty years ago)

The Aus distributor rushed it out for the tour, and consequently it's all material taken off the nearest tapes they could find. One of the episodes is in black & white [the UK version's got it in colour], and it's missing some extras. When they charge $50 the least you'd expect is the whole thing, not a half-arsed rush release.

That is COOL!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 April 2005 06:46 (twenty years ago)

I love you decorations and backdrop too.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 April 2005 06:47 (twenty years ago)

Maybe when I move down I can do a shoot with you Trayce. That'd be fun!

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Friday, 15 April 2005 06:49 (twenty years ago)

I was of the understanding that "come dancing" only now exists in B&W because the original is lost.

Are you sure abt the colour thing?

Dead sure.

Oh and don't bust yer arse to get the DSE STB, I took mine back. The picture flickers like nobody's business.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:07 (twenty years ago)

Wow Kate you've got such a knack for colours. Do you really own a chicken?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:09 (twenty years ago)

"Unfortunately restoration work on some of the extras,the colour version of "Come Dancing", script PDFs , an "In conversation" piece with the Goodies recorded during the commentary sessions and English subtitles on the episodes were not able to be included in the Australian releases version."

So I'm not missing much, then.

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:50 (twenty years ago)

Pff, I want 'em.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

But I'm a bit unbalanced when it comes to the Goodies.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 16 April 2005 04:53 (twenty years ago)

at least you didn't wear a Goodies shirt to the show though!

we have three chickens at my place, you can come over and, I dunno, look at them or something if you want.

― haitch (haitch), Saturday, 16 April 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Col, Music Jamboree is on SBS Thursday nights at like 12:30am. It started last night and I forgot to mention, it, sorry...

-- Autumn Almanac

Thanks Adam!

― moley, Saturday, 16 April 2005 10:31 (twenty years ago)

oh damnit I was going to watch that again. I'd never seen it until they showed it the first time they ran the Kubrick festival, it is an amazing movie. shame you can't get the soundtrack anymore.
-- haitch

It is a great soundtrack isn't it.

― moley, Saturday, 16 April 2005 10:32 (twenty years ago)

neeeerds.

(says the guy who's begging doctor who off adam)

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Saturday, 16 April 2005 12:14 (twenty years ago)

Could I sound off a little though, about Kubrick? I have read three of the books he directed as films. It puts me in a position where I can see his strengths and weaknesses quite starkly. He is brilliant at setting up a scene and mood inspired by the author, especially when the author has gone to town and really described the scene in great detail. Kubrick is very faithful here, and does a good job of nailing every detail so it looks just right, just as the author intended. However, he has a poor sense of the author's plot. He likes the striking visual scenes so much he neglects narrative continuity. When something in a Kubrick film doesn't make sense, or happens too quickly in terms of normal buildup in tension, and human motivation, or ends abruptly at an odd moment, you will usually find, if you read the book on which the film is based, that he has missed or glossed over several chapters. He invariably does this, I think, because when reading the book he goes from one supercharged, vivid scene to the next as quickly as possible, jumping over the narrative in between because he's not interested in the in between bits.

― moley, Saturday, 16 April 2005 12:35 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah and there's one other really big thing he does that ticks me off: he changes the plot. A character who lives in the book dies in the film; or the film just goes off on a crazy tangent and suddenly lacks subtlety. This happens because Kubrick, or someone else involved, actually adapts the book so that different events happen. This further distorts the plot and the motivations of the characters. It must be said that his original ideas are usually inferior to the ideas in the book. He's better when he's faithful. He he can direct stage, cameras and sountracks brilliantly. He is a poor script rewriter though, and has only a blurry sense of convincing, real, plot development,and, tragically, he doesn't know it. A man's got to know his limitations, as Dirty Harry said.

― moley, Saturday, 16 April 2005 12:46 (twenty years ago)

(says the guy who's begging doctor who off adam)

I don't have last week's yet! Hopefully I'll get them both in the next couple of days, then I'll post all four in one hit.

Trayce if you read this before tomorrow, best of luck...

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 16 April 2005 21:49 (twenty years ago)

The chicken is stuffed and mounted Adam. I'm a little scared of chickens since a few pecked me when I was kid.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Saturday, 16 April 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

Ahhhhhhhhh.

Hey that makes it creepy, which works with the colours and dead [?] flowers.

well yes, but it needs to be pressed first. and the cover designed. after saying my idea was great, the drummer has decided it's not good after all. she is wrong, though.

ooh phasing. that reminds me, i saw the Monkees' Head on the weekend, it's weird but v entertaining and psychedelic

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Sunday, 17 April 2005 23:42 (twenty years ago)

one of me ccrap movies from Art skool were this guy in this house trying to get out and i kept editing him back to where he were before and he start out again, down the stairs, though this door, around here, almost there and - boops! - i'd edit him back oopstairs.

all the while i was turning up effects that sorta phased the picture and it got more and more psychedelic.

It was called "The Long Way Out"

well, i said it was crap!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Sunday, 17 April 2005 23:51 (twenty years ago)

Hahah, that sounded hilariously bitchy - no, it's great that she got the job and she's working again, makin' scratch, etc.

I also did a short based on "the gift" by the velvets!

hmm that recent new order album is quite good innee?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:22 (twenty years ago)

i haven't heard the whole thing yet. i like what i have heard though. actually i went into a record shop the other day, and the guy had it on. so i asked him if he liked it (i was buying a joy division cd so he should have been able to tell i would have been interested)... and he grunted and rolled his eyes at me! how cheeky. won't be going THERE to buy it.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:26 (twenty years ago)

wos he hot?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

NO he had a potbelly and bad hair

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:31 (twenty years ago)

aw come on - whats wrong with that? he sounds like me!

do new order still sound the same?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:34 (twenty years ago)

sort of. it's like the previous album but less rocky, a little less overproduced, and with slightly better songs

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:36 (twenty years ago)

well in combination with his rudeness it made him unattractive to me. also poor salesmanlike. if he'd been nicer and talked to me about it i probably would have bought it.

you can tell it's new order straight away. so i guess on some levels they do. jim is right, i think the songs are definitely better.

i read an interview with wotsisname the singer (bernard?) and he said they discarded any songs that sounded like new order, which was confusing for the drummer who is new.

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:37 (twenty years ago)

i haven't heard the previous record. i haven't heard a new order record in - oh - 15 years?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:38 (twenty years ago)

you'd still be able to tell it's them i reckon, even if you'd heard nothing since that shellshocked song...

― gem (trisk), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 00:39 (twenty years ago)

hmm well it's not really like any of the other ones, maybe bits and pieces of Technique at a pinch.

How're things with you atm Kate?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 19 April 2005 21:50 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, not to bad. I'm getting used to living with my parents, although they have some perplexing and rather annoying habits.

I'm selling my paintings to get by, and even though it's not much, theres something kind of satisfying about supporting yourself that way.

Uni is becoming increasingly difficult, and I approached student services about throwing in the towel, but I'm going to try to finish this semester at least. After that, i'll have to review the situation.

Other than that, I'm keeping my chin up. I'm really too busy to keep moping around, which is probably a good thing.

you could tell them that the guy is now bald. and laugh in a sinister way.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:23 (twenty years ago)

xpost no but it was in reference to the passport photo i provided (on their request), which was admittedly about as attractive as a dropped pie. he squinted at it and said 'i hope you're happy with your hair in that, the one i provided as a clerk with my flock of seagulls hair still pops up everywhere. '

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:24 (twenty years ago)

That reminds me I need a hair cut.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

haha i wish i had done that balding comment actually. seagull-man was sleazy looking and really mean to me and also kept his sunnies on top of his head for the entire interview.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:25 (twenty years ago)

is that true jim? was he bald gem?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:26 (twenty years ago)

yep it's true. must have been all the hair product he used (or genetics)

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:27 (twenty years ago)

the interviewer was certainly on the recede. that's not a problem though.... what was left was all greasy. although it's possible i might be projecting my dislike of him onto my memory of his appearance.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:28 (twenty years ago)

But the important bit, how did the interview go?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:41 (twenty years ago)

i didn't feel like that interview went very well at all. which is really disappointing as that was my no 1 preference... i've moved it down the ranking on the basis of the interview. the other interviewer was the HR manager and she gave me the impression she was utterly disinterested in me.

some of my other interviews have gone really well though. but i've not had many formal interviews before so i don't quite know what to expect.... what's the bet i only get offers from the ones that i've considered to have gone badly?

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:44 (twenty years ago)

Depends on what they're looking for and who else is in the running.

Some interviewers like to convey the impression they don't like you, just to see how you react. These people are strange.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:46 (twenty years ago)

yeah adams right.. i find it pretty unpredictable (i mean when it goes GREEEAT you know it, sure...but i've got jobs when i've felt dismal after too)

fingers crossed for you gem

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:47 (twenty years ago)

i am up against the best of the law students in wa, so that doesn't make me feel too much better. that firm in particular had over 400 applications, interviewed 90 for 30 clerkships. it seems crazy that all of this fuss is over vacation jobs too... i just have to keep reminding myself that's where they recruit articled clerks from, so it is just as important career-wise as a 'real' job interview. it has been good experience in any case.

offers come out at 9am 4 may, so i have two weeks to wait to find out if i got any of the firms i really want. fingers crossed for sure!

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:49 (twenty years ago)

Some interviewers like to convey the impression they don't like you, just to see how you react.

I came to this theory that many interviewers act a little aloof/strange simply because someone higher up couldnt be arsed doing the interviews that week and so shoved the job on their assistant/staff member who totally doesnt want to/know how to interview. I've seen this before, at least its felt like it.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:55 (twenty years ago)

also they may have been saying the same thing/hearing the same thing all day and might be fucked off in general. maybe in the between contestant break they had a disagreement about something with the other dipshits on the panel. its a fuckin lottery!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:58 (twenty years ago)

those things i can understand, it must be boring as batshit interviewing 90 law students all singing their own praises... but the HR manager should perhaps not have that attitude? i got the impression she hadn't even looked at my CV beforehand. recruiting the best law grads is considered an important part of law firms' HR business, especially in a small town like perth....

i heard later at uni that this particular lady is renowned for being a bit of a cow. and every other HR person (and partners and senior associates) have been really nice to me, even in the other interviews where i didn't think i performed that well. so i shouldn't complain really!

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 00:59 (twenty years ago)

Man, I've got this irrational mistrust of people who are like 'I NEVER WANT TO HAVE KIDS, EVVARR! FUCKING CROTCHDROPLINGS!' so today on ILX I'm barely keeping myself from unleashing crazy amounts of rantage.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:06 (twenty years ago)

I agree with the 'I NEVER WANT TO HAVE KIDS, EVVARR!' part but not the 'FUCKING CROTCHDROPLINGS!' part.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:08 (twenty years ago)

Well yeah, the wonderful thing about reproduction is that it's a choice, innit? I totally respect that. I just get riled when everyone's all 'FUCKIN' BREEDERS!'

I mean jeeze, what the hell? Since when was it a bad thing to propogate the species? I didn't get the memo about extinction through contraceptives and abstinence.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:11 (twenty years ago)

i reckon that's a bit harsh mikey. the 'all about fuckin' breeders' tag only describes about two cranky posters on that entire thread.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

also haha crotchdroplings, never heard that one before.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

I don't disagree with people having kids, but I do disagree with governments offering incentives to people who reproduce.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:14 (twenty years ago)

Although about 12 years ago I knew a guy [who by a bizarre lick of coincidence now lives around the corner from me] who actually got verbally militant on anyone who had a child, because they were directly responsible for overpopulating the planet.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:15 (twenty years ago)

yeah there are loads of arguments on either side of that debate i reckon. i am working on population policy at the minute so i'm really kinda keen on the incentives to reproduce thing (in combination with vigorous immigration policies) so's the community doesn't get old and dwindle. i want kiddies to nurse me in my dotage don't you know!

having said that i'm in no rush to pop out a crotchdropling myself.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:16 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I was a bit harsh.

Still, there's a loooot of people on the internet who don't wanna have kids! All these smart, techy people...

Who the fuck is going to set me up with free giga-broadband^2 in my dotage?

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:18 (twenty years ago)

yeah the apparent reluctance to have kids from the internerders always surprises me a bit too. my real life mates are all fairly careerdriven and mostly still single, but they all still want to squeeze one or two out at some stage.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:22 (twenty years ago)

We don't want kids [at the moment at least] because we want to do things. We want to have a nice house in a good suburb. We want to travel. We want to have experiences we couldn't have with kids to fund and look after. And when oil peaks and the arse falls out of the world economy we want to have something to fall back on.

I have a few friends who had kids in their early 20s and their lives are, well, over. They're different people now. I'm sure they're very happy and glad they had children, but they don't do anything anymore. They just disappear off the face of the earth.

There's an argument that people who don't have kids will be very lonely later in life because everyone else their age will have kids, but that's just not true anymore. We both have a lot of friends who (a) don't want kids either, or (b) are in a same-sex relationship and don't want to adopt. So socially we'll be fine.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:24 (twenty years ago)

So my insane mother's demands of "HAVE SIX GRANDCHILDREN FOR ME YOU OWE ME SIX GRANDCHILDREN YU0" fall on deaf ears, and I think only now after seven years she's starting to believe us.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:25 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha, I'm not even thinking about it until I'm in my early to mid thirties.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

i'm quite lucky in that respect because my brother is dead keen on the kids thing, so that should keep mum and dad happy. he got married last year at age 24 and with his wife is now trying very hard for a baby. i think they're insane myself, as i think he in particular (she is older) will regret not doing all the stuff his mates are currently doing (like backpacking around europe etc). he is insistent that this is right for him though. different strokes. me, i won't even consider it until i'm 35.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:28 (twenty years ago)

I don't have siblings so all the pressure's on me. The pressure is actually a factor that's turning us away. We both object to being pushed into anything, particularly a life-changing thing like having kids. It's all right for my mother, she'd see them once a week and give them back at the end of the day, but our life changes completely.

The other main pressure is age. Biologically we've only got about three years in which to have kids before The Age Where Things Start To Go Wrong. We hate having that pressure on us.

Last year a friend of ours said if you're in any doubt at all you shouldn't have kids. You need to be 100% sure. I think he's right.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:32 (twenty years ago)

yeah i think that's right too adam. if you aren't 100% sure then it is possible that they would become something you resent. it's not something i need worry about at the moment seeing as i'm unpartnered. it was a major factor in the breakup of my longest relationship though... as i got older i became less and less interested in having kids, he got more and more interested. shame really.

― gem (trisk), Thursday, 21 April 2005 06:34 (twenty years ago)

for sure wait til yr ready. it does tie up yr life. we had ours at 37/38 when we'd done the whole 3 years with a backpack thing after 15 years of being degenerates (unfortunately we neglected to save any money and we never bought a place, but hey). its was like...what can we do now that is exciting. trouble is you can't then after 3 years go...stop...had enough.

many of my wifes relos have taken the "no kids" path and seem happy enough (weirdly enough they were the more conservative when younger and are only now doing interesting stuff - based on the fact they settled down and bought/paid off a house early, got a career)

what i kinda object to here though is people using this thread to vent about stuff they refrain from saying on "outside world" threads.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Thursday, 21 April 2005 07:02 (twenty years ago)

I reckon I could be very avuncular with practice. Except I'd be a lousy father. So either my brother or my sister have to have some kids now, to keep mum happy - she wants grandkids! And I'm not having any!

it means having uncle-like qualities i think. like being generous and warm and and lovely. i wonder if there is an 'auntie-like' equivalent.

on that thread that got deleted

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 April 2005 05:25 (twenty years ago)

the one where he was critical of the fellow student? that was a little risky anyway i thought

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 April 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

yeah i got weaned off bitching about people on the innernet after an 'incident' (although they found it of their own accord and due to my stupidity)

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 April 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

so did someone alert the fellow student? i missed all this. i felt bad for his fellow student (no matter what she did in teh original incident, i thought it was a little unfair that he got to criticise her with no right of reply, in a way that anyone googling her writing would probably find) so i stopped reading the thread quite early on.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 April 2005 05:33 (twenty years ago)

i don't think so - i think they told other people in the course? someone who wasn't the girl in question posted a response

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 April 2005 05:36 (twenty years ago)

yeah right. nasty. so that wouldn't have improved the atmosphere of his classes very much! to be honest, i would have been kinda upset if i was the girl though, with people criticising her appearance and whatnot it all seemed a bit petty and irrelevant to the original behaviour complained of.

I know who Jer suspects it is, but I'll respect his request not to talk about it on here. SOmeone assholish, anyway - just think about who was dissing him on the thread to start with and you get the idea (I dont think even he knows, tho).

Whoever it was is a cunt, mind you. I've never been so angry at ILX as when he told me what'd happened.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 April 2005 05:44 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, to clarify: an ILXor (a regular, most likely) googled that girl's details, presumably via the piece he'd posted, found her email, and emailed her telling her of the threads existence.

OK, wether what Jer said was wrong or not, it was a cunt thing to do, and I have a lot less respeck for ILX now, mores the pity.

are the cycles generally coincidental with full moons?

Isnt the full moon thing a bit of a furfy? (er... furphy? whatever)... I noticed it was almosy full moon last night and for sure I was mega hyper yesterday but that was probably the clarinase and me not eating all day that did it.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 24 April 2005 06:07 (twenty years ago)

I think every three or four months someone completely fucking loses it. Last time four or five did at the same time and ILX disappeared for a while.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Sunday, 24 April 2005 06:22 (twenty years ago)

Isnt the full moon thing a bit of a furfy? (er... furphy? whatever)...

Hah I can never work out how to spell that word either, it gives me the shits.

I reckon there's a lot in the idea that a full moon can influence behaviours. For years and years I've noticed a very discernible difference between the way people behave around a full moon and the way they behave around a new moon. If the moon can influence tides, surely there's other stuff we don't know about?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Sunday, 24 April 2005 06:34 (twenty years ago)

Moon's a very weak influence on tides, much less than people think. Lots of the stuff is due to things like communal reinforcement, selective thinking and that crap.

Yep, it's "furphy".

I've just been bullied into coming to Melbourne in June. Hooray for spinelessness! I wish I could blame it on the moon.

mmm dips... now you have me hungry.

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:26 (twenty years ago)

Mikey, if you can't incorporate it into your usual diet forever, you shouldn't do it. You're smart enough to know what good for is and what bad food is. If you're a day in on the optifast stuff and you're having this much trouble, how are you going to stick to it for any period of time?

Can you honestly say to yourself that you've been exercising and eating as well as you could've? That's the long term answer, obviously this optifast stuff isn't.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

Yeah typos, you know what i mean.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:28 (twenty years ago)

I'm quite afraid of myself at the moment.

Oh Kate, no, this is merely a... transitory thing, designed for three or four weeks while I shift some weight and phase in a healthier diet and exercise program. It's kind of a cleanout, a spring cleaning for the body.

Actually, I've been told that the first day or so is really horrible, then it gets a lot better as your body adjusts to not having any carbohydrates. I'll continue the process until the end of next week, when I go on a school hiking camp, then I'll start phasing in a new diet I've worked out in consultation with a dietician.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:30 (twenty years ago)

NO CARBS IS THE WORK OF THE DEVIL.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:36 (twenty years ago)

I find the no carbs thing hard to understand. I dropped about 25kg in 6 months back in 2002, and I did it while eating about half a loaf of bread a day.

― edward o (edwardo), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:39 (twenty years ago)

Kate's right. Eating well is infinitely better than some lose-weight-fast programme, and a carbless diet is a fucking death sentence.

What's in this optifast thing Mikey?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:39 (twenty years ago)

Oh no, like I said, this is just a very transitory thing. I need a kick in the arse. It's like hitting a big reset button.

Ideally, I'll shed some kilos with this stuff, get used to much more appropriate serving portions and start with a new diet that I can manage (based on the fact that I'm as busy as hell) with plenty of vegies and a lot more sensible distribution of carbohydrates.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

NB: This is all in consultation with a dietician.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:43 (twenty years ago)

Go back on the carbs now. Seriously. Any 'diet' programme that starts with an absence of carbs should be avoided. It's very dangerous. We need carbohydrates. Our muscles rely on them. If you cut out carbs, your muscles wither and reduce, you lose muscle mass, you look in a mirror and go "omg I'm losing weight awesome" and you get sick and die.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:44 (twenty years ago)

Busy as hell? If you don't mind, can I ask what you eat normally, and how?

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:45 (twenty years ago)

Give me some time and I'll give you the full story.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Tuesday, 26 April 2005 05:47 (twenty years ago)

Delta dumps her mum
By Nui Te Koha
April 27, 2005

Delta Goodrem
Breaking up ... Delta has dumped her mum as manager

A HEARTBROKEN Delta Goodrem has had to tell her mother Lea that she can no longer be her manager.
The showdown with her mum was forced on her by her US record label, a Sony-BMG source said yesterday.

"The message given to Delta was clear -- your mother is creating havoc. Make her go away," the source said.

Sources said the music giant threatened to halt the pop star's bid to break into the American scene if the management issue was not fixed.

"The pressure was put on Delta a month ago," the source said.

Goodrem took the ultimatum under consideration, but did not act.

As she began a US charm offensive last week, label bosses ordered that she deal with the problem immediately.

Lea Goodrem did not return calls yesterday.

She took over management duties after Delta sacked veteran industry guru Glenn Wheatley last March.

At the time, Goodrem complained Wheatley spent too much time with his star client, John Farnham.

Goodrem became a superstar under Wheatley's management, blitzing all sales records and topping UK pop charts.
Advertisement:

Her debut album Innocent Eyes sold 2.5million copies.

Since Lea Goodrem took over last April, Delta has been sued by former music producers, dumped by Mark Philippoussis for Paris Hilton and jeered by British fans for dating pop star Brian McFadden.

Her follow-up album Mistaken Identity flopped in the UK and has vanished from the local top 50.

hey moley i found the old des peres cd for cheap. how does it compare to their live show?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 01:38 (twenty years ago)

hey jim - it's good. It's eclectic instrumental techno. What it lacks is the unified bizarre party thing they've gone on to since - mad ass loop techno, very very repetitive, lots of one-bar samples, with michelle's loony spoilt brat vocal. Presumably the next album, which is nearly finished, will be more in line with what you saw at Pony.

― moley, Wednesday, 27 April 2005 01:48 (twenty years ago)

Sharon Osbourne is a great manager! Ozzy had no career at all when she started with him.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:38 (twenty years ago)

mine used to be about 20% but now that i'm part time and only make about half what i used to, but i can't seem to stop myself buying the same amount of cds. i'm going to end up in debt before long.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:39 (twenty years ago)

and i guess my point is, seeing you guys rabbit on about what cds you've bought every week always makes me feel a bit less guilty! so thanks for that

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:42 (twenty years ago)

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:46 (twenty years ago)

yeah i might go for a week and not buy any then splurge and buy a dozen. on one of the days i was in wellington my gf and i bought nearly 60 cds between us, all from the sweet sweet bargain bin.

i have to be careful not to buy too many cds at once or i end up staying up half the night playing with them and getting no sleep

yeah my ipod is full, i'm kicking myself for not buying the 40G

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:52 (twenty years ago)

do you have music on all the time? i used to - but i can't seem to be arsed anymore.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:53 (twenty years ago)

I haven't bought a single CD since the bites single back in Feb.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:53 (twenty years ago)

yep i have music on all the time, constantly. including now. unless the telly is on. thus the ipod is the best money i've ever spent on a toy.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 04:59 (twenty years ago)

i have it on pretty constantly. my mp3 player also changed the way i listen to music. it makes it far more stress free than my old methods.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:00 (twenty years ago)

There are days whe I forget to put music on now. Which is weird for me, because all my life there's always been some kind of music playing. Perhaps I'm just sick of what I've got.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:03 (twenty years ago)

My father took the speakers out of the dingy room I have to sleep in, so I have a CD player but no sound.

xpost to Adam

Yeah, I used to be regarded as a great music knowledge within my family. I remember when I was buying 10+ albums at a time, but living with another person so into music killed it for me. I got sick of trying to complete with certain bands I didn't have time for, so I've all but given music the arse, except for when I'm trying to make my own.

I have a piano in my room currently which is so shit, it rivals the one missy higgins plays in that terrible scar song.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

Ummm....in the video....you know what i mean.

― Kate / Productive Pedagog (papa november), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:06 (twenty years ago)

% of income? fuck, no idea. I prob average 6-8 or so a fortnight but the amount spent varies depending on where I'm shopping, obviously. don't go in for the big-ticket collector stuff much though, apart from the occasional box set.

― haitch (haitch), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:11 (twenty years ago)

i only think about it as a % of income when i'm feeling guilty about it. that's usually when i'm too broke to pay my phone bill (e.g. now) but still buy 3 cds or whatever.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:12 (twenty years ago)

Music bores me a bit these days, probably because it's so much harder to find stuff that I like. I tend to find an artist that's good and delve into the back-catalogue, and stick with it for a while.

Downloading isn't my thing; it's no fun just whipping a song off the web, and half the time the sound quality's crap anyway. Can't really buy EMI music though because of that corruption rubbish they bleed into it.

I played loads of instruments but didn't like any of them. I prefer to listen to other people's music [I don't think I'm creative with music, I've never tried]. There's a Kawai piano in top nick at my parents' place that 'er indoors has her eyes on. :)

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:13 (twenty years ago)

i studied piano and flute and theory for years and years, i was pretty good at it on a technical level but i've always been very disappointed that i never had the slightest talent at creating my own. i can't imagine the day arriving when music bores me either. i guess everyone's tastes change in different phases of life though so who knows, maybe it will.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:23 (twenty years ago)

i don't imagine it happening to me. it's the only thing i've ever felt gave me any identity at all.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:27 (twenty years ago)

I have a piano going to waste in my parents garage, but having it shipped to melbourne would be prohibitively expensive... plus theres nowhere to put it anyhow.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:29 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I think if our generation wants room for a piano we have to (a) be rich, (b) marry rich or (c) move to Caroline Springs.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

true dat, my mum and dad sold my piano a few years ago when they built their new house, sometimes i feel really sad that i didn't pay to put it in storage. but who knows when i'll have a house that i can put it in.

all this music talk, my feet are itching to go to the cd shop now! i am an addict

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:31 (twenty years ago)

Oh sorry, Caroline Springs is a brand new housing estate/slum on the outer fringe of the scary side of Melbourne.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 April 2005 05:34 (twenty years ago)

People who live in Caroline Springs think parasols are things you jump out of a 'plane with.

I probably spend about the same proportion as lectricsound. unfortunately I spend much the same on comics and other books too. I have been wearing some of the same t-shirts for fifteen years.

― kit, Wednesday, 27 April 2005 06:24 (twenty years ago)

I have two shelves and a box of stuff from the last couple of years that I haven't listened to yet. (four separate piles of books on the chest o'drawers too...)

ME Jim! ME!

we have a pianola - inherited. i occasionally pretend i'm the punk rock kieth jarrett on it. most time we play rolls of stuff from the 40's, gather round, sing. 10 years ago a foolish relo bought an elton and a billy joel roll - fuckin scary that i knew all the words.

Me too, Jim!

Caroline Springs? That's the new housing development. It's certainly the frontier, but it's not a slum.

I'm a dirty downloader now, the thought of buying any more cds and having to store them is a daunting thought.

Caroline Springs? That's the new housing development. It's certainly the frontier, but it's not a slum.

Apparently great chunks of it are already slums. There's an upstairs/downstairs thing going on, with the upper class being called 'Casey' and 'Jackson', and the lower class being called 13 different spellings of 'Shanaya'.

it was an accident adam...he got out to see if i was ok. the car i was right beside stopped in heavy traffic to let him turn right into a shopping centre car park. i didn't see the brake lights cos i was beside the braking car, he didn't see me for same reason. *splat*

Is there any money in being creative? Like, for my next job I'd like to maybe... I dunno, write a bit more, have some fun ideas. Advertising without the assholes. I wish I could write that first book and then have it be wildly successful and start I dunno, making it into a hilarious and wildly successful sci-fi franchise with lots of toys and special effects and explosions and witty innuendo.

mikey this is a pretty common feeling with schoolteaching i'd guess - is there any support?

THIS IS MY PROBLEM.

I HAVE SO MUCH SHIT, FOR GOOD OR BAD UP IN MY BRAINCASE AND I CAN'T LET IT OUT DURING THE DAY AT SCHOOL AND AT NIGHT I AM TOO TIRED.

― Michael Stuchbery (Mikey Bidness), Thursday, 28 April 2005 00:40 (twenty years ago)

You don't make money by being creative. You're stuck with the donkeyholes I'm afraid.

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 28 April 2005 00:41 (twenty years ago)

My school is pretty neat with the support and that makes it just that much more worse - it's me that is the problem. I just can't quite get the fine balance needed, I can't get just enough organised or be strict enough or stick to the curriculum as tightly as needed.

On the other hand I always saw people leaving the profession and thought 'dude, i'm not like them - i'm going to stick with it', but then you see cats who've been here for thirty years and you wake up screaming in fright that you'll turn into the bitter fucker in the staff room who's always eating shit-smelling leftovers.

Dumbarse question, but have you tried Drano? We've had a few blockages here [some REALLY nasty ones], and Drano fixed every one. Eventually. Sometimes you have to give it half a dozen goes. :)

― Autumn Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Thursday, 28 April 2005 01:33 (twenty years ago)

that didn't work on a blockage i had at my old flat. i used almost the entire container of it, ended up fixing the problem in a couple of minutes with a plunger. the filth that was blocking the sink was quite something.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Thursday, 28 April 2005 01:35 (twenty years ago)

yeah the pipes are dodge as in the place i'm in now and i've never been able to make drano work either. plungers work for a while when the drain starts to slow down, but eventually the plumber has to be called.
