I usually hate all these 'x is the new y' kind of things, but surely the slow creep of the weekend into the working week is to be welcomed?

I write this at work feeling well rough after a night on the sauce.

In general yes but the reason I feel rough this morning is i) I am v ill and ii) I had a civilisation II marathon last night argh.

no thursday is NOT the new Friday. I've been waiting all week for today and yesterday i was convinced that it was WEDNESDAY! time was going retrograde! funnily enough though, many people here are dead hungover, so maybe Thursday *is* the Friday!

― katie, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am all too often hungover on Friday mornings, so I say yes. Not today, though, today I'm still on a high after seeing Les Savy Fav last night. They were amazing.

I drank an awful lot of free booze last night during which I think I promise someone five grand to set up a scholarship fund. Ooops. I also sang at some Karaoke infront of very bemused and quickly quite scared international students. I think they were unaware of the paedophile undertones of The House Of The Rising Sun (with the puppies in it).

I fear I made a lot of noise when I got in.

My high has gone now, thanks to one of my co-workers putting on his MIKE OLDFIELD album. I managed to last about 5 minutes before exploding in a fit of rage at him. I fear I may have been a bit too rude, but at least he turned it off.

― RickyT, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ricky T I'm sure he'll look back at your fit of rage with thanks one day when he realises the error of his ways.

Well, last night it was. Went to Matt Collings' book launch then to party at Groucho. I am still in 'writing clothes' and could not face the repeat of Waiting for Godot that was on after a really dire late- series Bewitched. Oh...my...stars!

― suzy, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, well, I stayed in and was sad cos Buffy wasn't on and and and then watched Eastenders and then laughed at odd shaped boobies on TV. More exciting than what I get up to at the weekends, actually. More BOOBTASTIC anyway.

rickyT wd rather be on horseback

― mark s, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is there a new Collings book? (Of the TV series I assume) And is it actually out or is this one of these 'book launches' which refers to a launch some misty date in the future? If it is out then to Borders with me!

Sarah didnt you watch the snooXoR?

― Tom, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It is for me and Sara as we have Fridays off.

(And I finally have internet access in my room, yay! And it's feeding Al-Queeda's coffers at an alarming rate. Double yay!)

I prefer camels myself. The hump gives you a bit of extra height.

― RickyT, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom: there is a new Collings book, but it's not attached to the series, oddly. It's called Art Crazy Nation and there was a launch last night at Selfridges, Tracy Emin, Baddiel, Morwenna Banks, Tracy Mcleod were all there being arty. I wasn't there.

― chris, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ewing, HA HA. I actually don't mind a bit of the snooker but missing BUFFY in order to watch people not even STAKING people with cues is a bit of a poor show.

Tonight, my plans are that my friend WILL turn up and she WILL have my Dance Dance Revolution mat and we shall drink some BOOZE, jump about and talk about how much we hate BOYS and STUFF and eating ice cream (I should hope) will be on the agenda.

Actually, I like boys. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NONE LIKE ME! Or they do but I never get the snuggles! I think they are all jealous of my close relationship with my Pokémon. As it is likely friend will not even turn up no wonder I have to confide in Pikachu.

My weekends have seemed recently to be rather slow movers as well. Ie LEAVING HOUSE = amazing!! (even if it is only for Chinese food yum yum).

― Sarah, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah, David Baddiel was carting around his six-week-old daughter and there were more artists there than you could shake a stick at. I-i- interesting.

― suzy, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mike Oldfield man has just admitted he has dabbled in the furry community!

― RickyT, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Furry? Does he know Mark and Sarah?

― Nicole, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sarah. you, me, the third pokemon movie. just picture it.

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

pokemon three has an interesting antifur = evil subtext, as it is set in a GIANT CRYSTALISED VAGINA!!

― mark s, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

not such a grate date film then, huh?

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Actually Alan, I is already gorn to see the 3rd Pokémon movie with another ILE-er! However, I've not seen the 2nd Pokémon movie, so I'm more than willing to don the fur and set out to cheer on Ash and Lugia!

― Sarah, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oldfield man has now claimed that Derek May invented electronic pop music after refusing to let us put on Kraftwerk on the grounds of it being 'rubbish cocksucking music'. And before that he exposed us to a trance version of Don't Fear The Reaper.

I think I might have to kill him.

― RickyT, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Of course it is, but it's not a good thing. A) many of my work friends only go out on Thursdays because they live outside the city, so my weekend get togethers never work out real well B) you're still expected to go to work the next day.

― Ally, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ricky, I really am taking an intense dislike to this bloke. Describe him so that I may laugh at him in the street should our paths meet.

― chris, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, I'm a lazy layabout student and I don't have to go in on Thursdays or Fridays, so that makes Wednesday into Friday and Thursday, Friday and Saturday into Saturday. I think.

So if Thursday is the new Friday then I guess for me, it'd mean that Tuesday is the new Wednesday.

― jamesmichaelward, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The even more important question is: is Wednesday the new Thursday?

― Samantha, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Every days a fucking saturday or a thursday or whatever you want as far as I'm concerned.

I love thursdays cos I get into the Kitchen for free and the music there is cool. Last night I brought my new journalism buddies with me. Pretty good fun, i'm waiting around for people to finish lectures so I can drink more. Friday is still a good night in its own right.

Thursday=SATURDAY stay out till ridiculous times and fall over and stuff.

Friday="Super Friday" everyone finishes college early drinks all day then I go to my local pub that night to catch up with local friends.

I have my routine so well sorted. Pretty sad really.

after refusing to let us put on Kraftwerk on the grounds of it being 'rubbish cocksucking music'

Did you ask what good cocksucking music was? :-)

answers in the "the gay thread" thread, please

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nope. I was afeared the answer might involve donning a squirrel suit and listening to cosmic new age sounds.

― RickyT, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

= my ideal night in, rah rah. I have the fur if you've got the Hawkwind.

― Sarah, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

how is oldfield-man channeling this piffle into yr head, rickyT?

― mark s, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oldfield has long concerned himself with transcending communications ravines such as death, as his magnum opus the living years clearly shows. The key is that "we can LISTEN................................................................ .........................as well as we HEAR"

THINK ABOUT IT.

― Ronan, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If Thursday is the new Friday, why the fuck am I at work right now?

Regarding Oldfield abuse and all -- happily, working in a library means the only person making any musical noise is me on my computer speakers. Life is good.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If Thursday is the new Friday, why the fuck am I at work right now?

only explanation: Friday is the new Monday.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Damnit tracer, you stole my weekend! (cue Gof4, "please send me evenings and weekends...")

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

there is no new friday, trust me. it is 8am, saturday morning here, and i've only just left the pub. what a fan-fucking-tastic night. i went to drink with some friends and then we went to the crown and then we were at the provincial which doesn't close till like 9am and you can dance all night to nelly and 3LW and the thong song. it don't get much more classic than that.

for more details on why friday is the one and only friday, see menelaus' thread on breakdancing.

― di, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, unfortunately it is not. Often homework is due Friday and assigned earlier in the week so I'm up late doing the homework assigned earlier that I've procrastinated and the homework assigned that day that I have to do.

― Maria, Friday, 19 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ten years pass...

bleh
