After much wassail and declarations of undying love, I am in need of a hangover cure. Suggestions?

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

this may have been done before but I need new answers now dammit

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hey Will, i don't have a hangover! oh, you didn't really need to hear that did you? lots of water, trite i know, but it works. i got in and drank 2 pints of water last night (i usually drink 4 but didn't this time)

sorry i met you so late on last night, didn't really get a chance to speak to you properly. i hope you don't think i was being rude.

― gareth, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I said it before and I say it again: Milk Thistle. But you have to take it regularly for a while to make your liver a Superliver like mine.

― Emma, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

RickyT was buying me DOUBLES. I am staving off the headache by refusing to believe it will come. I'm drinking water and I ate some hula hoops. I wonder if they will stop the HORROR. Ah GIN. I didn't declare undying love but I did have a screaming shouting argument about CHEESE/PROCESSED CHEESE (and its strange unnatural beauty). I also sang thusly to Mad Dog Murdoch: "he's a little indie freak in the deep bloo seee-eeea".

Oops.

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You weren't rude at all Gareth. It was a pleasure! Thanks for the tip. I've almost drained the watercooler aleady... :-) (a watery smile)

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cheese and bacon croissant isn't doing the trick for me this morning but it normally does.

― jonnie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*sigh* Will, it would be nice if next time you declared your undying love for me, you were sober! Tchah :):) er, water and tea and samosas are the cure i'm afraid. i am not that hung over but i damn well should be. Sarah, many apologies for the CHEEZ heated discussion.

bah. more tea for me.

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Katie I love you now and forever.

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Katie, right, here is my POINT that you were not seeing last night, Processed Cheese in my head = CHEESE SINGLE SLICES OF UNNATURAL BEAUTY != CHEEZ from a tube (sorry Jess). Cheez from choob eewwwww yuXoR. Processed cheese slices num num and I am sure there is a thread about the very same somewhere else. They are not in the same category as "real" cheese and ANYWAY TUNNICLIFFE for when he gets into work and sees this, talking about how 4REAL things are is only for MANIX FANS and that type of criticism doesn't apply to CHEESE! Especially when processed cheese "food" cannot be called CHEESE by ANYONE with half a brane! Ahem.

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

awwww *blush* Will wuvs me!! hurrah! Sarah ahhh i see your point about tha Cheez from tha Choob. but processed cheese slices are also SATAN and oh we shouldn't be talking about this. people are hung over you know! :):)

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Processed cheese slices num num indeed.

Is the only reason you go to Camera Obscura gigs to see if Stuart Murdoch rocks up?

― Tom, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

glad i missed that one. glad i saw Camera Obscura -- they were nice. seemed to have the mitchell brothers on guitar(s) and a very pretty man on trumpet.

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i didn't get to meet Alan! or Nick Dastoor who i am reliably informed was there. DAMN i should stay off the cooking brandy...

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

and who was that cracker of a bassist in tompaulin :-)

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes - where were you, Alan? I have a strange memory of grabbing random punters by the sleeves and whispering hoarsely to them: 'are you Tom?' with a wide, deranged look in my eyes...this may or may not have happened.

Water tally: 10 little plastic cups and counting.

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I missed Camera Obscura entirely due to drinking MEASURES OF GIN downstairs. RESULT! Hahahaha I chatted to Alan I did, although chatting may not be the word, mumbling and uh, "stuff", might be more like it.

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Was I the only person not to be roaringly drunk last night? Still, it was very very good, good to see some of you if not all.

― chris, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sorry for not getting about more. i felt quite disoriented with the whole indie-ness of it all. i was unwholesomely interested in seeing CamOb play. ANyone else think they sound like The Catchers? well maybe just a eensy bit

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

that is it was good to see the people that I did meet up with but I didn't speak to everyone there obviously, not that it was bad to meet some people. I wasn't drunk you know, but I do feel hungover grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

― chris, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was there, yes. I didn't get to meet Alan! either, but never mind. I was the one throwing things, katie.

― Nick, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Uhhhhhhhhhh

― RickyT, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what were you throwing? pants? chocs? cash? turds? a hissy fit?

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

cut out that ! thing and i'll condescend to introduce myself this saturday.

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Katie - that's my Xmas list!

Well, maybe not the turds, on reflection.

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

well i got to meet Alan! although i didn't get to meet Katie G. or Nick. or Chris

― gareth, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oooh. Saturday. hurrah!

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

quit it

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

buh?

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i don't object to !Alan (for obscure geek reasons) if it makes things easier.

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the food police have arrived and I have to say that there is nothing good about processed cheese slices, at all, ever.

― Ed, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Food police vs power of NUM NUM = no contest. Sorry Ed.

― Tom, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I can't quite remember what my postion was on the Cheese Slice issue, apart from them being decidedly not num-num. Ed is right.

― RickyT, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hang on Gareth, I've already met you.

― Nick, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

RickyT, you said that Real Cheese = Good and Cheese Slice = Bad. i was going to say that even as a vegan i can understand the need for Real Cheese in the world, when Sarah shouted Hah! Vegan what do you know! and then it got really nasty. well, not that nasty. i still stand by Cheese Slice = ugh.

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well that certainly sounded entertaining. Dammit I wish a Dunedin person would get off their arse and arrange a party for us, or at least about our fantastic gigs as well. Di, tell them about LD50 and the Aesthetics, those lovely little parties on Bond St. The Pro, so on.

Was everyone posting from london in evidence? if so that would be amusing. its a miracle to have all dunedin posters in a room together, and even more so if they are being civil. Self congratulation would be just too boring

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Did Mumm-Ra ever utilise The Power of NUM NUM?

― Jonnie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Katie I did not shout that!! Rick said that and then started rambling about soya cheese!!! Soy cheese, brie with soy sauce mmmmm. They're nummy. I even eat the economy brands but of course KRAFT = king. Mmmm I might go to Tesco at LUNCHTIME and buy some. Or fresh bread rolls and processed cheese also BIG LUMPS of the stuff. Tasteee.

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

"and lo, moses returned from the mount, and in his hands were two stone tablets. and he raised them above his head and said:

'god has given me these ten commandments by which to live.

thou shalt not kill.

thous shalt honor thy mother and thy father.

thou shalt not commit adultery.

thou shalt not steal.

thou shalt not worship graven images.

thou shalt not eat any other CHEEZ than in GOOP FORM preferably from a TIN CAN.

thou shalt not..."

the book of CHEEZ, v.1, l.34-45

― jess, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

sorry if you did not yell that. i do remember feeling much put-upon though as YES i have eaten soya cheese and the fact that i have is its own punishment.

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Was Tracey Emin there last night or did I hallucinate that bit?

― RickyT, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That's what I heard - in a long furry coat?

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

aye, she was there! she seemed v. nice, though smaller than i expected. i imagined her teetering on Westwood heels...

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes she was!! Heh!! Except I was thinking, "who's that mingy gurl in the corner, do I know her"?

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thought I saw Tracey Emin!

Cheese Slices are only good if they are in a grilled cheese sandwich.

― rosemary, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

...and burgers.

― Jonnie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

YAY, tracy emin!! i did contemplate going and worshipping, and after mine and will's little contretemps with the sound man, that fair made my night. i met everyone except gareth i think...

― carsmilesteve, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i was thinking that there would be more contretemps with the sound man. i nearly had one meself!

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hang on Gareth, I've already met you.

-- Nick (nickdastoor@hotmail.com), December 06, 2001.

yes, this is true. i meant i didn't see you last night. i didn't get to meet carsmilesteve, who i have never met. he has never come to my house to inspect the walls and the kitchen.

― gareth, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

gareth i think we did meet v v briefly at trigbrother, but i haven't been to your house, you are correct there. katie, have you spoken to jamie about the soundman?

― carsmilesteve, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Was that the guy who told us to 'shut up', Carsmile? Really, how RUDE. Honestly. I'm not usually a person to get cross but rudeness like that I cannot stand. :-(

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i saw the soundman ruffle Jamie's luscious ginger locks, which i initially thought was a sign of indie fellowship. later i learned that this was not so, but i'm not sure how. maybe i'll mail you about this one carsmile...

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm rubbish at sleb spotting.

― DG, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i only recognised the famous people at the gig as i knew that both of them would be there - i'm usually rubbish at sleb spotting as well. that other day we walked past someone dead famous in Covent Garden and i didn't notice them - oh yes it was Alain De Boton or however you sp. it. man, John Cusack could be in my office and i wouldn't notice - oh actually, i would. mmmmm john cusack...

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We have a game in our house where we get points according to the slebs we spot. I saw Timothy Spall in Soho and I got 10 points because it fell into the 'Fruity Luvvie Darling' category. You get 350 points if you see Billie Piper Snorting Crack, and minus 50 points if you spot Curtis Steigers.

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the thought of Alain de Botton as a sleb is a new one! (sour grapes corner: he was in the year below me at college)

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

what if you see Billie Piper letting someone snort coke of her tits?

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh yeah, Billie Piper was there last night as well, and all The Strokes were snorting coke from her tits... Ahem. hey do i get points for imagining John Cusack?

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Only if I get points for imagining H____ B________.

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I saw Doctor Who walking past my office in my lunch break and my colleague saw Davina McCall in the back of a taxi. Do we get points?

― Emma, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

oh, so no then :):) how is the hangover, Will?

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

which Doctor Who, Emma? if it's Tom Baker i think many points....

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I saw Myleen Hearsay at the Ladytron gig. Do I lose points?

― Trevor, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yes. points awarded for Jessica Liberty though

― gareth, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Of course it was Tom Baker, accept no imitations! Two MTV geeks from the office downstairs saw him too and spent the lift journey to the 4th floor having a 'who was the best doctor' debate.... yawn.

― Emma, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The celebrities should ideally be RUBBISH. Categories are:
Fruity Luvvies Darling - 10 pts
Faded comedians 20 points
Good comedians 10 points
boy/girl band members 5 pts
Shite - 10 points
BPSC - 350 points
Indie band members 10 points
Sports personalities - 20 pts
Heat magazine fare -25 pts
Big Brother II contestants - 15 points
BB I contestants -25 points.

Little and Large (together) - 150 points

Minus points - Curtis Steigers (60) Garry Bushell (50) Garry Mabbutt (25)

Please feel free to tweak these categories and we'll give this game its own thread!

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hey leave off Gary Mabbutt!He's got Diabetes you know. I saw Frank McLintock in Winchmore Hill and flicked him the v's.He smiled.

― Jonnie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

so how many points for Nigel Havers sauntering through Berwick street in a white suit?

Obviously as this man is my hero this is my favourite spot ever.

― chris, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pah - hangover, schmangover - there's a game afoot..!

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I saw Tom Baker too, in Soho, down by Porn Alley. He was wearing a big white coat.

― Sarah, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nigel Havers = FLD = 10 points, like Timothy Spall. Its cruel, Chris, but this game makes no allowance for sartorial garnish...

― WIll, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wow, Dr Latimer jnr in a white suit. Maybe he followed his dad into Harley Street after all. Principled doctor my arse.

― Jonnie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

for the millionth time Jonnie, I WILL NOT DOCTOR YOUR ARSE!

― chris, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i saw Right Said Fred once in Covent Garden! and coo, er Graham Norton at (get this) a Donny Osmond album launch! and Donny Osmond too come to that!

― katie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

julian cope often pops up in our canteen. (well often in comparison with the number of times he appears in the average office canteen)

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

To be a valid 'spot' - the person should not be doing their 'job' - so Donny Osmond doesn't count, I'm afraid Katie! :-( Like I say, its a cruel game.

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How far back can we go? Is it limited to , say, 2001?

― Jonnie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Will is a cruel master, but at least he's consistent.

― chris, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I just remembered another one, the aphex twin, riding next to me on a very swanky mountain bike when I was young and impressionable on a critical mass ride.

― chris, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Indie band members 10 points

Does this mean I accrue 20 points everyday?

― RickyT, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

We started playing in 2000, so from then. Third Millennium only! AT counts as 'indie band member' or 'shite' depending on whether you like him or not.

Oh sod it, let's give this game its own thread.

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

RT - the fact that you know said members invalidates the 'spot', I'm afraid. All spots have to take place in 'neutral' space.

― Will, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah, I saw Helen Baxendale in Stoke Newington, near the park, with a pushchair.

― Jonnie, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I wish you'd given me a call. I would have popped over there and bludgeoned her to death.

― Nick, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

she's certainly have had cold feet after that.....erm, I'll get my coat.

― chris, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Do incredibly talented and extremely attractive children's book authors count? I met Lauren Child yesterday and she's wuuuuvly.

― Mark C, Thursday, 6 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In a blender - 3 ounces whiskey, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 cup juice.

On the TV - Oprah Winfrey.

Looks like my dad was right about Obama probably being the antichrist. +1 dad

Oh,,,wait.

In essence, the whole video seems to be the political conspiracy theory equivalent of taking a phrase and running it back and forth among different languages in Babelfish until it becomes gibberish. The line in Luke 10:18 wouldn't typically be translated as "I saw Satan fall as lightning from the high place," as the YouTube clip does it, but rather, as "I saw Satan fall as lightning from heaven," or "from the sky." That phrase, "lightning from heaven" is rendered in Hebrew as "barak min ha-shamayim," not "barak uvamah." (Even the basic instruction I had years ago in Hebrew school was enough to figure that much out.)
