Anyone from the UK?

Afternoon. On the way home from London. Didn’t see @Wand3rlust staring at me on the tube while I was there. Great time: nice strolling around, bit of sightseeing and a great gig last night. Everyone sounds a bit frisky this afternoon. Must be that Friday feeling

 

[Wriggle]

Well I kissed Wand3r and she didn't twat me or even glare, so I think there's something in the air.

Sorry what?

 

[Wriggle]

Nothing.
Nowt.
Don't worry about it.

I have closed my work laptop early! What’s seldom is wonderful.

Happy Friday to you all! How is the birthday boy @Polranny ??

You can understand REM lyrics? (OK I'm going back to the Murmur/Reckoning days here).

Every time I look up Stipey's lyrics online I'm always amazed how different they are from what I thought I'd heard.

you can pick a line or a phrase from the early ones

I remember one gig where he admitted he had to look up the words online and they were nothing like he had actually written

 

[MajorSynne]

Talk about delayed response

I was away

 

[MajorSynne]

Talk about delayed response

Apologies, I was away

 

[lingus60]

Right that's it.

I'm going to set up a room in erotic chat called London Underground - it's going to be hot as fuck....

How about calling it "Going Underground" after The Jam song

I saw them around 1983/4 when they were still quite a cult band and playing smallish venues (the New Ocean Club in Cardiff as it happens), and they were great. I always describe them then as like The Who met The Byrds; they were pretty high energy but still very jangly. Stipey was even then wilfully obscurantist. Everyone's yelling for more, lots more, and he strolls out and does an acapella Moon River, no band, and that was your lot.

A trip to Italy.

got into them in 84, saw them live in '85. Saw them doo Moon River a few times and it always hit hard. They opened Whistle Test with that and then kicked into Pretty Persuasion

That’s more like it! If you had more of a ‘fuck-off’ on your forehead, I might have recognised you as one

I misread that as 'I'm fucking a Londoner'

 

[AWonkyDonkey]

I think I have broken Artificial Intelligence.

I was just asked by one what I liked to do.

"I like to smother myself in cottage cheese and stick celery pieces up my nostrils and pretend I'm a plant"

AI reply: That sounds like an automotive disaster.

... Broken.

I get the same bus to and from work as my son. He sits upstairs and I sit downstairs. If the downstairs is full and I venture upstairs, the look of horror on his face is priceless. I do it sometimes when there is still room downstairs just to see his face

That's cruel!

So, where do you like to wander to?
