The Blue Posts on Newman St, from 5.30 tonight! MISSION: to comiserate me on interview, drink BEER and RHUM or your tipple of choice and maybe even TRIPLE SEC if by some miracle it's carried in a Sam Smiths. COME TO THE PUB!

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

To find pub - go up the right hand side of Oxford Street from Tottenham Court Road and it's the next street on the right from Rathbone Place.

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

COME TO THE PUB!

― Tom, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

commiserate :-(

Is that a prediction or a report?

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

TRIPLE SEC'S THERE! (Perhaps)

― Emma, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Damn you all and your pub fun. I now DEFINITELY have to save because David Holmes is playing his LAST EVER SET shocker! in the new supa dupa 3 million euro investment best sound system in Dublin club on saturday week and the week after that Orbital are playing their FIRST EVER SET shocker! together in the same club.

Holmes set is called "Ten years of Acid House". It sounds fun.

Still, I'd love to be going out drinking. What with the food on the way home and all, it seems ages since I've done that. I hope you all enjoy yourselves in moderation.

― Ronan, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Just a prediction so far Alang - the interview is at 4. I am preparing by eating an EG, BACONG and SOSAGE sammiche with lots of tomato ketchup. Larding up before interviews is the new 'breathe deeply and relax' technique don't you know!

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

WERE you going to tell me you'd changed your plans? EH EH? Or just let me go to the other pub and wonder where you were? Hmm. I smell a fish. Or are you still going to the first pub. Or have you already left and won't EVEN SEE THIS? GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVENT MIND YOU.

― alix, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You certainly know your interview technique. Wish you well. Knock em on their ARSES, and mine's a smirnoff ice.

― Alan Trewartha, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

blimey, thats short notice. i don't know if i'll be able to make it, but i shall endeavour to appear

― gareth, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It is a Sam Smith's pub so NO SMIRNOFF ICE and good riddance to it.

― Emma, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

TRIPLE SEC ice all round.

― Tom, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was going to have a quiet night tonight, awww what the hell. And good luck Sarah.

― chris, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Lixi I messaged you about this at 10.30 and then again at 12! Check your phone woman!!

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry during my rantings about my upcoming social activities I forgot to say good luck. Good luck with the interview, we were always told a FIRM handshake is the key to success. Apparently a lank handshake means you are weak and wishy washy or something. er....imagine having to make up theories like THAT for a living.

― Ronan, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Watch out for the "killer question"!!!

― Tom, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

thur = buf?

fingers x-ed starry s

― mark s, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thur = buf = Mark S not coming out = licence to go to Sam Smiffs pub!

Good luck Sarah - tell me, what are your thoughts on public schools?

― Pete, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hmmm yeah i have buffy plans. but the pub is tempting too. tricky.

― toby, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Will catch the repeats Mark S (and from reading recaps I do not mind waiting till tomorrow! Must learn how to tape things with new fangled VCR).

Well Pete, OH SHIT I HAVE NOW OFFICIALLY GOT THE FEAR. I think that parents have a choice to educate their children where they best see fit, and public schools can offer many benefits, both generally and specifically to their pupils.

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(arrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*scaredy*arrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

Buffy repeated on Friday night though, innit chaps?

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

also i promised my flatmate i wd cook roast monkfish for dinner. aarggh.

― toby, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yes, just remember Sarah - channel Buffy through the interview and see your interparticularly interesting demons with which you must toy with before destroying them. (And potentially their livelihood when you get the job ha ha)>

Good answer. Use the words "opportunity", "Benevolence" and "Malevolence" as well.

― Pete, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

― Tom, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ruler Of The Wurld.

― Pete, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My phone woman was switched off due to Psycholinguistics lecture which lasted 3 hours bloody hell. I know they're meant to last that long but they don't usually. I shall see you down the boo-sore then. Mustn't drink too much though as I have a Herr Doktor's appointment tomorrow morning. They can see it in your eyes when you've been drinking, you know. That and the smell.

― alix, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Must remember, do not think as myself. As the answer that sprung to mind first was 'spinning round on a swivel chair, wheeeeee'!!!!!! Hmmm do you think they might ask that? How about... I would like to see myself in a more established position in my career - something along those lines. Help!!

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Good luck Sarah.

I was supposed to be having a quiet night in ....

― Anna, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was supposed to be going to play Metal Gear Solid 2 at a friend's. Hmm.. RHUM vs. hiding in cupboards.

― N., Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Day Preston = city = day Sarah gets new job

― David, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In interview, always remember to assume the same posture as your main interviewer, if feasible / sensible. Mentalist advice, I got it!

― Tim, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Act like you despise them and find the whole rigmarole hilarious. If they ask you why you're giggling quietly tell them 'I find the whole fig role hilarious'. Guaranteed result.

― alix, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yipes, I wasn't scared until Pete asked that question... now the telltale QUIVERS haf started. ZOIKS. Must... find... gin...

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Vodka would be better as gin stinks and you will reek of bouze.

I give good interview apparently (well I was always offered crap jobs I didn't want) so I suggest you channel me.

― Emma, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ahem, 'whats yr frequency, Emma'? (doh)

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ooops, sorry Sarah. Um, I'll GMC.

Emma is on Channel Zero of course.

― Pete, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is that a bar or a restaurant?

― gerry, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Right. I'm off for breakfast now. I'll see you lot there then.

― alix, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Good luck scamp.

(speaking of videoing Buffy, is there any chance of getting that video of episode 1 back? (S wants it) I'll swap you it for the musical)

― Graham, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thank you all! Sure thing G, send yore address and I'll send it back.

― Sarah, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

GOOD LUCK SARAH!

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am off home NOW and my partner-in-buf = unwell so i may set the video and be along after all

― mark s, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sarah, I'll swap it the next time I see you, which will probably be in the next few weeks.

― Graham, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

hmm so maybe i can fob my flatmate off and catch buffy tomorrow night. in fact i could even get him to video it, ha. so are ppl actually going to be there as early as 5:30??

― toby, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Good luck Sarah! (You are probably at the interview now!)

― rosemary, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'm on my way.

― N., Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

rule number one of drinking with internet mentalists: eat something first, it'll save chicken madness on the way home and feeling shit in the morning.

rule number 2 of drinking with internet mentalists: never believe a word that Mr Peter Baran ever tells you.

― chris, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Went the interview well?

― PM, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

lovely to see you all last night, caught my first glimpse of the lovely anna (though didn't speak to you, sorry!) as well as meeting Mr. Nick Dastoor for the very first time! I ran off early as was too tired to make any kind of sense any more, and from what Cabbage said that's probably just as well... looking fwd to the next one (and i WILL order a triple sec DAMMIT!)

Sarah! have you heard yet?

― katie, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

not to mention the TIME SLIP!!!!!!!

― chris, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i was unable to make it:(

― gareth, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I hear from them this morning and will let you lot know! Thanks for coming out and comiserating me on my somewhat spacky fcuk up. You know how mail merges CAN'T REALLY be fcuked up?? Well, mine managed to merge incorrectly and I HAF NO IDEA HOW. K-blimey. So, I'm not too confident to be honest but never mind. Tis all experience.

Mixing the RHUM, the ALE and the BURGER KING however is an experience I should probably NOT repeat. But I'm sure I will. I feel somewhat ill this morning.

― Sarah, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I feel surprisingly OK, must be down to the bizarre drunken quiche craving I got on the way home which I satisfied to the great disgust of our flatmate as I didn't heat it up first but scoffed it from the tin tray. Also helped by scrambled egg & bacon bagel num num.

― Emma, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't know what a mail merge is, so it can't be that important.

― PM, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have no hangover! But I'll try not to be smug as that means it will just kick in later in the day.

Next time Katie (thank you for calling me lovely).

You remembered the time slip Chris - that's SO CUTE!

― Anna, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was being whimsical - not lying.

That eye story though, its so good it should be true.

― Pete, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*blushes*

I also remembered the song we were talking about, and it's being burned onto a cd today, in fact they both are!!

― chris, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pete you were lying. Full stop. And you had poor guilable me eating out of the palm of your hand.

Slack optic nerve indeed.

― Anna, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Did you try THAT old chesnut agane?? K-blimey. I would prefer to believe it as it's one of the greatest lies I've ever heard.

― Sarah, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OK PETE WHAT IS THE EYE STORY!! i must know.

― katie, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i too feel absolutely fine today. my cunning switch from pints to the key combination of equal quantities of g+t and water (not in the same glass obv) paid off, i'm sure. as did the vast quantities of water i had when i got home and watched buffy, i suspect.

top evening, anyway.

― toby, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

actualy Ptee i have just read yr poem and seem to remember RickyT telling me of your "story"....

― katie, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

However many times I tell people that Pete lies they still insist on believing his outlandish tales. Seasoned Pete interlocutors know to say 'shut up Pete you're lying' the minute he strays into one of his little stories.

― Emma, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Much fun was had and we got rid of mojo groco early on ;-)

All that talk about Glasto and I have changed my mind and bought tix for me and my festival tent-sharing friends, though C is a little narked cos I couldn't wait for her to get back to me. I don't think I'll have a prob getting rid of the ticket should I need to. Yay, glaso. psyched up now.

― Alan T, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

(note to self: go to pub-meet again one day!)

― jel --, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

you should have come Jel, but not to listen to Pete, who I knew was lying but still I was sucked into his web of deceit.

― chris, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Re: Timeslip. I think time was just not flying because no one was having fun.

― N., Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Its a window on a parallel universe Chris, think of it as a journey into the Twilight Zone. Or - ahem - the Lielight ZOne.

― Pete, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

b b but I was having fun.

Shut up Pete.

― chris, Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surely you're not suggesting that folk wisdom can be wrong, Chris??

― N., Friday, 15 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was having fun.

(I like being patronised and lied to)
