Zoom zoom zoom zoom!

Matt (Matt), Thursday, 24 April 2003 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a gun.

Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 24 April 2003 22:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a collection of short stories by Saki.

Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

And several blue jumpers.

Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

And a copy of "Headache" by Frank Black.

Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 09:08 (twenty-two years ago)

And a half-eaten apple.

Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Now it's all eaten.

Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 09:09 (twenty-two years ago)

It was nice. Now I'm having a cup of tea.

Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Sorry, what was your point?

Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah but Lynskey has a gun.

Jarlr'mai (jarlrmai), Friday, 25 April 2003 09:13 (twenty-two years ago)

People listen to you when you're waving a gun about.

Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 25 April 2003 16:30 (twenty-two years ago)

Especially if it's a Super-Soaker Turbo-Blaster water pistol like that one you're threatening us with.

C J (C J), Friday, 25 April 2003 19:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Ooh "Lynskey has a gun" "Lynskey is great" ooh "I love Lynskey, I want to be him"

Matt (Matt), Friday, 25 April 2003 21:31 (twenty-two years ago)

I believe that you, Matthew, were the first to use the phrase "You love me and you want to be me". It becomes clear now that when you were saying that you were merely imagining yourself as me and were directing the phrase at yourself.

Lynskey (Lynskey), Friday, 25 April 2003 22:56 (twenty-two years ago)

That's Shiel-logic and you know it. Besides I've got a special forcefield which stops me using it on myself. So ner.

Matt (Matt), Saturday, 26 April 2003 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Children!

The expression 'ner' has been used so much in the recent past that I am wondering when someone will start a thread entitled 'Er'. And if nobody starts it, well then, by gum, I'll start it myself.

C J (C J), Sunday, 27 April 2003 10:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you. I'm very much enlightened. I shan't bother posting that topic now. Not now that Ner is a great cylindrical 25 year-old servant cobbled together with human DNA for flood irrigation but has been jailed by experienced engineers, even though it is committed to deterring theft, rather like a horse of ice. Thank you CJ, and thank you Arthur C. Clarke.

Pooster (pooster), Sunday, 27 April 2003 11:45 (twenty-two years ago)

You're welcome - you know me, helpful to the last. I was a little concerned about ner's "helical destabilization" until I realised that by dint of the "z", it was more than likely an American concept and not one likely to affect sleepy rural Oxfordshire. Phew, eh?

C J (C J), Sunday, 27 April 2003 12:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Now this is something up on which I must pick you, as I'm sure Skippy is well aware, having thrown the book at her too about this. The Oxford University Press prefers the z to the s in -ise/-ize words as -ize is more authentically English than -ise. You won't find a book published by the OUP that has an "-isation" in it. Strange but true; don't just take my word for it: http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutspelling/ize

In fact, I'm pretty much certain that helical destabilization is more likely to manifest itself in sleepy, rural Oxfordshire than anywhere else in Britain. Don't blame me. Im just a nediter.

Pooster (pooster), Sunday, 27 April 2003 14:36 (twenty-two years ago)

But you are almost certainly correct, since "ner is made from hardened steel or aluminum". Unless my campaign to return the original spelling back into British English is making more headway than I could possibly have expected. But since I haven't started it yet, I doubt that this is the case. Remember: don't laugh at Americans saying 'aluminum'. Congratulate them on a job well done.

BTW: Hell yeah, zoom.

Pooster (pooster), Sunday, 27 April 2003 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought that the suffix -ise is deemed acceptable as long as you are consistent throughout the document and don't suddenly stick in some random -ize endings. Still, I suppose it depends on the individual publishing house - and I have to say that OUP is actually a very silly one in that respect, due to its stupid location with no parking and lots of greedy traffic wardens eager to plaster your windscreen with penalty notices.

You're a brave man, Mr Pooster, taking Skippy to task like that. I'm surprised you still have your limbs intact.

C J (C J), Sunday, 27 April 2003 15:13 (twenty-two years ago)

B'but I'm accepting suites of rocks to serve as additional case studies for testing the validity of this approac

Matt (Matt), Sunday, 27 April 2003 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh yeah, zoom, btw

Matt (Matt), Sunday, 27 April 2003 22:45 (twenty-two years ago)

And, as I duly informed Mr Imaneditor, the Macquarie (although often pronounced Macqueery in some backward regions of Gloucestershire!)is the dictionary of choice for those in the penal colony of Australia and it clearly has an -ise preference. Not only that, but we also dismiss the OUP Style Guide as a wad of inconsequential twaddle. The AGPS (Australian Government Printing Service) Style Guide is favoured by editors, authors, and printers in the Banana Republic. Can Mr Imaneditor also explain to me why the OUP Dictionary for Editors has Cue Sara Sara (Italian) rather than the much more commonly seen, and therefore more acceptable in the eyes of the commoners, Que Sera Sera (in Spanish)?

Wouldn't you like to know (Amused), Monday, 28 April 2003 07:36 (twenty-two years ago)

I found parking perfectly okay in the little backstreets of Jericho. And I seem to remember I ate a Cornish pastie there. Other than that, I have no idea why the OUP Dictionary for Editors is so screwed up. Why the hell are you using it if you don't like it? I use Peter and Jane go to the Beach as my style guide. You'll never find a split infinitive or a hanging preposition in there. Oh no.

All I was saying was that Oxford is the place to go if you like zeds. and Ner.

pooster, Tuesday, 29 April 2003 11:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Double ner! To be honest, I often use Babar the Little Elephant for stichomancy purposes, but even I wouldn't admit to using Peter and Jane go to the Beach as a style guide. No, I much prefer Sam, Pam and Digger (and Nat the Cat), but I bet you didn't get that over here did you? Thought not - NER! Otherwise, Sparky the Space Chimp is just as good. I use the OUP Dikshunary for Editors so's I can trie to spel difikult werds like perspicacious proparly. ;-)

Wouldn't you like to know (Amused), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I have a monkey.

Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 13:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't give a monkey's about your monkey.

Wouldn't you like to know (Amused), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Please!

It's very difficult to explain uncaring people to a monkey.

Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 17:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Sitting it down in spiky throne and making it watch that bit in the Fly where the chimp goes shitshape usually works.

Lynskey (Lynskey), Tuesday, 29 April 2003 21:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah!

Zen Clown (Zen Clown), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Spent three years of my life in Jericho, you will no doubt be under-astounded to learn. Come to think of it, I do recall spotting a strange young man with distinct traces of Cornish pasty round his mouth. He was hard to miss, being afflicted with a terrible nervous tic which caused his right eyebrow to twitch upwards at eight-second intervals, endlessly. I moved out of Jericho within the week – just as well, as only fourteen years later a mate of mine wrote a musical about it, and one hates to be fashionable.

Rex (Rex), Wednesday, 30 April 2003 18:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm over-astounded.

Wouldn't you like to know (Amused), Thursday, 1 May 2003 08:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I haven't searched for the lyrics to this operatic extravaganza (yet), but I am totally flabberghasted by the concept of a musical celebration of life in Jericho. Indeed, my flabber has never been so ghasted.

I'm just trying to imagine what on earth might have been written.

Great Clarendon Street
It's a street
And it's great
But not as great
as Little Clarendon Street
which is smaller
but has more shops
Yeah, man.


I should write a musical. It's as easy as falling off a log.

C J (C J), Thursday, 1 May 2003 12:45 (twenty-two years ago)

You could get Then Jericho to do the songs

Matt (Matt), Thursday, 1 May 2003 12:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I am seeing that this musical has a disco soundtrack. No?

Wouldn't you like to know (Amused), Thursday, 1 May 2003 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

THEN. JERICHO.

Lynskey (Lynskey), Thursday, 1 May 2003 15:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Having read this thread twice, I am all but convinced that I am but a strabismal crypto-intellectual in the land of the one-eyed ovoid-craniums.

Aimless (Aimless), Monday, 4 July 2005 23:53 (twenty years ago)

Having read this thread thrice, I am furthermore convinced that rumours of my unbridled capacities are, if not overstated, then certainly fluffed to within a tolerance of one micron.

Matt (Matt), Thursday, 7 July 2005 06:17 (twenty years ago)

Having only barely skimmed over this thread, I am convicted of lèse majesté, tax invasion, mayhem with intent to chuckle, and wanton public lasciviousness.

As a red-blooded American (at least as seen when I have the misfortune of seeing it spill externally), the presence on the interwebs of cricinfo fills me with perplexity, the prospect of night-sweats, and general nameless dread.

M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 29 June 2006 21:10 (nineteen years ago)

What it fills you with is trembling joy at the prospect of involving your unbelieving Knickerbocker-league soul in a true gentleman's game, viz: one that breaks for meals, and makes time for the intermittent intrusion of entertaining local wildlife. He who loveth not cricket is a big girl's blouse.

Matt (Matt), Thursday, 29 June 2006 23:15 (nineteen years ago)

It's not that I don't like cricket, it's that I don't understand it, even though I was allowed to 'play' it once by some obliging Mancunians.

M. White (Miguelito), Friday, 30 June 2006 14:43 (nineteen years ago)
