Everything is all right (up on the roof).

OK, so you can see some of the lo-fi pictures Mike took at the London ILE roof-rooling session here. More to be added when he sees fit to send them.

Do they make you envious, Manhattan Skyline crew? Or are you glad for the lack of hi-fi?

― Nick, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No more to be added, I beg! God damn my hamster cheeks!

Can someone ask Lixi if I can requisition her pic for AICON, though?

i once dreamed i had sex with ronan keating on the roof of the Hocken Building.

roofs are cool. a few years ago i flatted opposite the needle exchange and we used to sit on the roof of our house for junky spotting.

nick: you look like neil from suede.

― junichiro, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thank God for lo-fi as you can only see me in outline like the victim on Crimewatch. I think I will have to paint myself black before leaving the house in future as I look better in silhouette.

― Emma, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Phew, I escape to fight another day. Possibly the graitational effects of my heavy bones may have warped any light which travelled from me.

― Pete, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Junichiro, I'm not a Suede fan, so I was immediately nonplussed by this, but then I took a look at thi s page and was delighted to learn that Neil from Suede has 'looks that really makes girls going CRAZY !!'

So now I'm happy.

― Nick, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is it just the angle of the shot, or does mark s. have GUNS OF STEEL?

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

More now added. Pete, astronomy will have to revised.

― Nick, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I really need to post up all the photos from our east coast get togethers. Except I don't actually have any from our disasterous Potion-Chinatown-Kicking Out Of My House get together. Le sigh.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

it's from lifting all of those heavy books for smart people. knowledge not only builds his mind, it also strengthens his body.

― fred solinger, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd like to point out that half of the London crew look like friends of mine from high school and from Boston, with the exception of Nick Dastoor, who looks like a rock star.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Can I just comment on the cosmic injustice of the fact that the only person who drank too much and was ill was the bloody cameraman, so no shaming shots of Unsteady Mike are likely to appear. Grr.

― Tom, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

are my glasses always that wonky? I'll have to do something about that. Lovely pictures though Mike.

― cabbage, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Have you guys ever seen the movie Never Been Kissed? I really truly hope not because it's awful and I was forced to watch it, but regardless: Nick looks like the "cool guy" in the movie.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Do the indoor shots look as hopelessly dark on yr monitors as they do on mine? Damn my cheap scanner. Messing with lighting and contrast in PhotoExpress did little to lift any more detail out, nor did scanning at 300dpi (which, on my feeble PC, always threatens to freeze the whole machine).

Tom: I did accidentally catch a shot of myself in a mirror, but there's a bloody great dark line running through my neck, so it's unusable. What's all that about, eh?

― Michael Jones, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mike - they look enjoyably seedy! And the outdoor shots are all GRATE.

― Tom, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Branes on a bemuscled stick!! Hurrah!! But I only borrowed the muscles for the day, in order to battle DG: instead we fell in love, and the rest you know.

― mark s, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Emma - That's a nice set of tits you got there

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thank you Mike. They are real, y'know, like my teeth.

― Emma, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why is it more acceptable to tell a woman she has nice eyes than it is to tell a woman she has nice ta-tas? And how come there aren't any goofy slang terms for eyes besides "peepers"?

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

you guys are much cuter in real life than i imagined....

― Geoff, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Should that not be "you guys are *even* cuter in real life than i imagined"?

― Madchen, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

where is Ed?

― gareth, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Currently escaped the lens'o'doom: Mike, Tim H, Sarah C, Ed, Kate, Alex T, Graham...anyone else?

― Tom, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

in fact, where is Ed, full stop? btw, sorry about the four tet mess up, i'll give you a ring tonight/tomorrow

― gareth, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Richard T not observed so far.

― mark s, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i like how in every pic i've ever seen of him, tom is either:
-holding a drink
-pouring a drink
-enjoying a drink

why, i bet that even in that passport shot, he's got a pint in his hand. or at least i'd like to think so. it keeps up the mystique. and who are the seated folks in the ensemble shot? i'll guess one of them is nick. he reminds me of the kid who played cameron crowe in almost famous.

― fred solinger, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ah - I *do* have one of Kate, as yet unscanned. She's in the foreground, out of focus. Right, another mail to Dastoor, then...

― Michael Jones, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, and there are no photos of Tim H because I had the wrong camera with me. I might have risked it with the tiny Ixus, but I am *not* having a chunky manual 1970s Canon SLR shoved up my arse.

― Michael Jones, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OK, that's the last of them put up. I thank you for all your rock star comments.

― Nick, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If only The Beard had made an appearance.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I didn't know you had a tiny Ixus, Mike.

― Tim, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There won't be cameras at TriggerFest too will there? Why can't you people just rely on your blurred and rose tinted memories like I do?

― Emma, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Starry Sarah has a photo of The Beard, a photo known not for nothing as The Crazy Town Photo. Maybe you should ask her nicely.

― Tom, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

stevie t: u look a bit like kevan from coronation st.

― junichiro, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That's probably an insult. I think Stevie looks very dashing. Obviously he's experimenting with new poses.

― Ally C, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

that is not no way insult. kevan got natalie and sallie, he has esx appeal in spadez.

― junichiro, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Please can I have a picture of The Beard? It has reached mythic proportions, I need to finally have my image of Tom as ZZ Top confirmed.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Why has nobody approved of my tits yet? Hrumph.

― Madchen, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Because I didn't read the captions on the photo, and I didn't realize you were the girl in the pink stripey shirt that I thought was quite cute.

I will never go to a London party, I'll feel completely inadequate with my lack of boobs.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thank you, I feel better now.

― Madchen, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I shall try to remember to scan in polaroids tomorrow - no honest. You also all need to see John and Petes ASS'n'TITTIES bootyshake.

You may compliment ME on my legs, as I think they are nicer than my over large wobbly bits. Wibble.

― sarah, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I want to set up a picture page, goddamnit! Why didn't I take pictures at the big meet! Argh! I guess I can put up pictures of the Idiot Foursome plus Dan and Joei. But that's just not the same as putting up lots of humiliating photos of lots of people. I can put up pictures of my other friends, and pretend they're you people.

Yes, I'm just jealous of photo technology.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That did not mention my legs. Grr. You aint gonna pull THAT way.

― sarah, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You all have beautiful tits. Especially Cabbage and Pete.

― Ally C, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You can only see one leg, Starry, and I'm no Paul McCartney when it comes to that kind of thing.

― Tom, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Now listen here, it goes without saying that your legs are great, you'd have to be a complete jackass not to see that! And your haircut is cute too.

No one compliments me anyhow, why am I being nice? I love all of you.

― Ally, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This is excellent. Cheers for the pics. Tho it's a bit like seeing the people who do the voices for the Simpsons, innit?

― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Well, Ally if anyone needed conclusive proof of my complete lack of tits...

― suzy, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hurrah! I have escaped photo embarassment. Though if Ed reappears (isn't he in Wales looking after pixies or something?) my turn will doubtless come as ISTR his pointing the evil soul stealer at me a couple of times.

― Richard Tunnicliffe, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mmmmm...tits....yummmmmm....sexy...cabbages....wafers of jesus....mmmmmmmm

― Mike Hanle y, Thursday, 2 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

OHMYGOD I am such a fat bastard. Time for a diet, I think.

― DG, Friday, 3 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

looks so sexy and glam. I am envious.

― anthony, Friday, 3 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have just realised who Kevin from Coronation Street is. I think Stevie looked most like him they both had moustaches. But now the resemblance is only fleeting.

― Nick, Friday, 3 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

extra chub is a sign of higher intelligence DG

― Mike Hanle y, Friday, 3 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That figures, becuase I am a moron.

― Nick, Friday, 3 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I didn't entirely escape, since I can be seen sitting next to Tom in the background of the photo of Mark talking to Suzy on the roof.
