I am an idiot. I drink far too much.

Did anyone pick it up? It has green and white beads on it.

I love the idea of posting to the internet saying that you left your purse in "the pub" and wondering if anyone picked it up, and actually having an outside chance of someone saying yes.

― DV, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I 'picked it up', then divvied up the spoils between me and the rest of the ILE criminal contingent. What a soft touch..

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I was out with IL* people, it makes the chances slightly higher.

There wasn't much in there, but it did contain my much loved and much abused credit card. Can you fake my signiture Nick? I suppose it would make up for me stealing all your cigarettes.

― Anna, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Have you rung the pub?

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Am I the only one with a headache?

― chris, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm going to be walking past said pub in about half an hour (opening time), do you want me to pop in and see if its there. Or does Nick really have it? (Master criminals all the way).

― Pete, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i too ache in the head. probably booze, tho poss cos brain reeling from conversation, of which understood about 60% (improving every pub meet). you're a rum lot you know.

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am not particularly suffering. Though I did eat some fairly odd food when I got home. I am just pissed off cos I have to spend the afternoon shepherding interviewees around instead of slumped at my computer.

RickyT this morning cried that he hadn't had such a hangover since his university days. I proceeded to then HILARIOUSLY say things like 'now come on RickyT you must go to lectures, the kids are waiting in the JCR, lets go and play a rag on the other colleges eh'! I was duly told to fcuk off proving that the SPIRIT OF ROMANCE IS DEAD. Me? I feel fine!!

― Sarah, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I only had three drinks and I am fine. BUT HUNGRY.

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I did ring the pub, but there was only the chef there and he said I had to wait until after 11 when the bar staff would be in.

Oh Pete - could you? I'm living off my credit card until payday and can't get any money any other way.

And yes - I do have a banging headache and feel vile. I also have to leave the office and go and be nice to people now.

― Anna, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am not as poorly as RickyT, but judging by the way I'm sneezing a cold may be battling for supremacy in my head too, which will be no good for Northern soul dancing tonight, off to the chemists for me.

There are other things to report back aren't there?

― chris, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have chicken gubbins all down my lovely coat too :( Being veggie was a lot more healthy for my clothes.

― chris, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oooh where are you going Cabbage?

― Sarah, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm going to Scenesville, somewhere near Euston I believe.

― chris, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Wigan.

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I feel slightly woozy, but not yet in pain. I had fun - very nice to meet the good Dr C at last. I think I talked more drunken nonsense than usual - apologies to anyone who had to put up with me.

― Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Okay, I'll swing round pub shortly and report back here in about one half of an hour.

― Pete, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i regret that i could not make this one, but i will be sure to bump up my attendance percentage by bringing my sparkling self to the next one

― gareth, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sobriety SuX0rs.

― Tim, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

How were the Would Be Goods?

― Sarah, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

poor Tim, how was the gig?

― chris, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If you were the landlord, would you hand over a green and white sparkly purse to Pete Baran?

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I know the British Institute of Innkeepings special handshakes - we are sa close knit breed us landlords.

― Pete, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Anna should call the pub and give the barman a secret code word then email the code word to Pete.

Shall we go to a bar next time?

― Emma, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The Would-Be-Goods have very fine songs but weren't helped by a rather muddy sound last night. I did enjoy it, even through the encroaching waves of fatigue.

― Tim, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i did have a kebab when i got back to hackney, generally a sign i haf drunk a little much - but shish not doner, and this morning i feel totally fine i'm afraid (but of course i haf the liver of a 17-year-old) (i keep it in this sparkly green and white purse i just found a-hohoho i'll get my coat) (anna i *think* i remember seeing a purse as per description on the floor still with other bags and things when i left)

Dr. C is very immensely tall, but otherwise surprisingly unlike the bigger (blue) monster in Monsters Inc. I hope he got home unmolested.

Edna you were a blaze of erudite charm. I am "working from home" today AND monday so will attempt to break the back of ahem "Sméagol's Legacy: Gothic Fantasy before and after the Hobbit"

― mark s, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hey Mark how do you do the hat over the 'u' in NAZGUL?

― Sarah, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(but of course i haf the liver of a 17-year-old)

I really think it's time you returned this to Ronan.

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am sorry to say that the bar staff (same as last night) did not find a purse of any description, let alone green and white beedy one. They suggest you give them a ring just in case it turns up - but I've got to say that it seems unlikely.

I too remember seeing it living on tables so it is vaguely possible that it fell into someones bag. Sorry.

― Pete, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hat = alt i

ronan has the liver of a 45-yr-old surely (why i am humouring you dastoor i don't know: I ALREADY MADE THIS JOKE PLEASE YES EXCUSE ME)

― mark s, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I have the worst hangover evah. Though in some sort of good/bad balance thingy the people who interviewed me on Wednesday have made me a job offer.

― RickyT, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nice one RickyT! I have just realised that I must be more hungover than I thought since I seem to have dressed in Aston Villa / West Ham colours. What was I thinking?

― Emma, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I ALREADY MADE THIS JOKE PLEASE YES EXCUSE ME)

Oh yeah - sorry. Skim reading posts. Shocking, I know. Anyway, people are always making the same joke as I made in a really clever and subtle way ten hours earlier, so it's payback time.

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What did I tell you Richard. I said that if the interview feels bad = you will get the job.

― Pete, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Hooray hooray hooray for job offer hooray hooray hooray!!!

― Sarah, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yes. hooray! Is good job?

― Alan Trewartha, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

RickyT was = poster boy for unemployed C++ developers. Now no longer. Obviously we DID set the IT industry to rights last night.

It was lovely to meet/re-meet/properly meet you all. I had a great time. (Except I went to Macdonald's in Chancery Lane before I got the tube and tried to go to the loo and there was someone (probably a couple) in there and they didn't come out for ages and then when I knocked on the door a few times she TEASED me for needing a piss - I bet you're dying, she said - and so I had to wander off muttering invective and hold it in all the way home.)

― Sam, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

God I hate sexually active couples.

Weren't there urinals to use though? Or a disabled loo?

― N., Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I think the loo was disabled by the sexually active couple.

― Pete, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

What an odd question. I explored all the options, I assure you. Bizarrely, there was no women's loo at all.

― Sam, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I meant to ask you all this last nite, but forgot. When I was in the Yorkshire Grey down the road, having a pre-gig pint of Old PeculiXOR and plucking up the courage to meet you all, they were playing an excellent tape 80's stuff. Twixt Orange Juice's 'Rip It Up' and Sade's 'Diamond Life' was a track which I couldn't identify. I'm not even sure it was from the 80's. Anyway the chorus went something like "Maybe you'd like to live by the Ocean/Maybe you'd like to live by the sea". Male singer - foppish crooning voice. Who is it?

On the strength of hearing Rip it Up, btw, I hereby retract anything bad I've ever said about OJ. I think I laid into them in a classic or dud early doors. Totally great, at least until I change my mind again. Who was I explaining this process to last night....?

― Dr. C, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Sam - you can piss in the street without fear of prosecution if you shout "In Pain" four times, once to each point of the compass. You ideally need a witness to prove that you shouted it.

― Dr. C, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am loathe to be the one to impart this information but that sounds like Indian Ocean by The Frank & Walters; Lyrcis can be checked here. Album Grand Parade.

― Pete, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yep. Ta PB.

― Dr. C, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Jesus Christ, I stay in bed late and in my absence the condition of my liver is discussed. Only on ILE.

― Ronan, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

no, they're talking about it on the Heath Ledger board as well, Ronan...

― mark s, Friday, 22 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-three years ago)

REALLY?

I feel like Paula Yates, scanning the internet relentlessly for stories about myself. EVEN ONES ABOUT MY LIVER. ITS ALL GOOD DAMN IT.
