  1. Or somebody on the board is killing them off one by one...
  2. I was just at Borough Market and the tourists are still in their winter jackets. Pathetic. This is why we need to leave the EU.
  3. Spear the doughnuts with your tumescent willy and march around the office barking orders at the women and shouting "stick this on facebook you plebs." You won't feel dead inside.
  4. The two in the middle look like dutch sexual flaneurs who have groomed a couple of barely pubescent teenagers with poppers and cheep cider and are taking them down to the local gabber disco before a night of wanton buggery.
  5. That would fit very nicely in my le creuset.
  6. What I don't understand is that the capital Seoul is right next to the border. Why don't the South Koreans just set the culture slider to 100% for a couple of years, maybe build a buddhist stupa for the 50% bonus and culture flip North Korea. Problem solved.
  7. Christ, I've been there. If it's any small comfort I managed to get through it and found my peace. It came down to the quality of the sundries.
  8. Cats are awesome, man - how can you think that? I project my misogyny on to cats. Beautiful but manipulative twats. lol, edgy cat jokes. what a hardass. votre amour a l'air d'une pomme de terre

  10. Can we keep cats out of this thread please? They're attention seeking fuckwits. They're the animal equivalent of that girl at school who is beautiful and graceful and you fall in love with them only to realize they have an abyss of a personality.
  11. Nobody has a fucking clue about my area of professional expertise and it is consistently misreported in the press. Nobody has a fucking clue about postrock and it is consistently misrepresented on internet message boards by 12 year olds who seem to think gybe! invented the genre. Between these two facts I can conclude that nobody has a fucking clue about anything and everything is shit.
  12. As a Geordie I'm contractually obliged to respond in this thread. Newcastle Brown Ale is known as 'dog' on Tyneside and people calling it 'Newkie Brown' is a relatively recent and outside the NE thing. Stop it. Don't call it dog though, that would be worse, akin to football commentator's referring to the 'toon'. In Newcastle itself NBA has a reputation as an old man and alky's drink. It was the drink of choice of my benign alcoholic grandfather. Its 4.7%, while not high compared to today's craft beer wankery, was substantially above most bitters you'd find in working men's clubs and would keep people happily pissed up during the day. Growing up in the 90s in Newcastle, the other people who drank it were generally those not from Tyneside but from some shithole pit village in County Durham or Northumberland who would go drinking in Newcastle at the weekend and needed to assert their Geordie identity lest they be mistaken for a mackem. What it actually signified was I'm 17 years old and from Cramlington, and me da's picking is up at 11. Everybody else just drank fosters, heineken, stella, theakston's bitters and cheap triples. Not that it wasn't held in some affection. The brewery was located next to St James', and on a Saturday the town centre would fill with the smell of malt and the sound of the match. Scottish and Newcastle also sponsored Newcastle United during the late 90s and the iconic blue star appeared on the shirts during the clubs most successful recent period. It's also used in cooking. Makes good beer batter and is sometimes added to the dough for stottie. A stottie being a type of round, doughy bread, usually split and filled with ham and pease pudding. First time I ever saw it on tap was when I lived in the States, where it had been re-invented and re-marketed. It's actually a decent beer, unlike PBR. The only similarity is the play on working class roots. So a lot more authentic than the poseur's beers it's surrounded by in that photo (that's not a dis, I like my poseur's beers too).
  13. Had to give a presentation to about twenty people. Other side of the river, walked over. Went to the toilet beforehand. Hands were still numb from the cold and somehow for the first time in 20 years pissed down the inside leg of my trousers. Had to give presentation with my trousers tucked up round my armpits and my jumper pulled down to my knees. Looked like a paedo with scoliosis.
  14. read the book a while back. terrible. all i remember is the character crying and listening to the smiths and getting music recommendations from his english teacher. it was like less than zero but with emotional teenagers instead of hot surf zombie drug addicts. and the reason they like come on eileen is because it's the juvenile fantasy of a forty something projected onto a past he never lived. like 500 days of summer, where the characters are too young to remember or care about anything they're referencing. Ugh, just watched that film while I was making some flat pack furniture. Not quite Magnolia levels of nausea inducement, but the 'Here comes your Man' karaoke scene came close. The only shit Pixies song before we get to anything else.
  15. I'll take your maths.
  16. New flatmate has been chosen. Went with the very attractive euro girl 12 years my junior.
  17. Sean: You know how every album since LP5 has essentially been how far we can take the piss out of our audience. Rob: Yeah. Sean: Well how about we do a Skrillex on temazepam album. Rob: Right... Sean: And make it 2 hours long. Rob: Ahahahaha, too far, those twats on watmm aren't that stupid.
  18. Just in terms of timescale there's no way there's any analog 4 on here. Album will have largely been written 1-2 years ago, I can't imagine there were any A4s outside elektron hq before last summer at the earliest.
  19. Eventually... Holy shit, what a cast. Is the series any good? Yes, it's great but not without flaws. It's my parent's generation portrayed and so there's an emotional resonance there. Not sure if it will translate to a non UK audience but the performances are all good.
  20. I've put everyone who scored over 25 on ignore and it has improved my watmm experience immeasurably.
  21. I've started online dating. Can someone explain the "someone who doesn't take life too seriously" thing thats on every fucking doris's profile wishlist? What does it mean? Sometimes life is serious, sometimes not. Is this simply code for "I don't want some dour, humourless prick?" Well of course you don't. But I don't feel the need to write on my profile that I'm looking for someone with a vaguely symmetrical vagina who meets an arbitrary minimum level of aesthetics. That much is a given. I hope I'm allowed to say vagina on nuWATMM.
