    regarding karaoke, what's your weapon of choice ?

     

    if wigs are available it would have to be fools gold really

     

     

    i watched made of stone last night. have you seen it and what are your thoughts if so?

     

    brown is autotuned to fuck in the rehearsal bits and the H Park is overdubbed beyond recognition! still a good watch for an old fan but cringey!

     

    maybe obvious but did you (like me) find 808 state through the manchester thing? joy division, mondays, martin hammet, etc.

     

    edit also, you dig andy stott?

  2.  

     

    sean, you mentioned the physical toll of touring... d'you mean like all the partying and std's ;) or the travelling and stress of having to be in a certain place, certain time, etc? i guess i'm interested in whether as you get older, you find the late night nature of touring, performing, etc becoming more of a chore?

     

    what's your perfect 'buzz' for performing? (if anything)

    what's your favourite continent and why?

    how often (when you're not touring) do you get recognized in the street?

    what iyo is the last good orb record? and last good black dog record?

    what do think of the roses comeback?

    what would you like for christmas?

     

  3. this is cool. i'm still back reading page 30, canny keep up...

    lol have to give you the old "it's not you, it's me" here, usagi :flower: ... i was about to post it in the FWP thread and realised it's not really a problem. there's a few contributing factors and i will list some of them with the aid of bullet points if i may...

     

    • there's a few newish folks that post too much for my liking (of course there always has been). there's certainly no issue with regards to age (olduns v younguns).

     

    I hope I'm not one of those newish folks (I think i'm like, a quasi-mid-un)

     

     

    definitely not. more of your ilk around here would be a good thing.

     

     

    have you ever missed watmm when you were unable to access it? i never have apart from when it went down. but like going on holiday or something, i would never think about a website. also, it always seems shit when you return because it is, but it's always shit, you just get used to it.

     

    bad choice of words on my part... i've never missed it when on holiday but always opened it up automatically without thinking when i got back to work.

     

    yeah. But then there's a new album or something that you're interested in and it's thread will be a buzz of cool gossip, and then there's a topic on genban which requires your opinion ... and you get sucked back in.

     

    Take it easy keltoi, seems like you've got a lot on your plate now anyway. For a few of you this place is a distraction while at work yes. So you can get on with your non-work lives without watmm being a drain. Ultimately any activity where you are consuming content and not producing is time wastey and should be used in moderation. This generation is still a bit naive with the net still. In some ways, a place like this doesn't work without constant attention, updating, a rolling diatribe, with a number of theads that each member is actively engaged in simultaneously to keep them engaged and coming back.

     

     

     

    i've mostly only ever been on when at work anyway, but even at work i just can't be arsed. + thanks.

    • i went on holiday (about 6 weeks ago now) and didn't miss watmm (or anything internet) at all and when i tried to come back it just didn't feel right...
    • it's no longer my internet home like it used to be... it's not the same here and neither am i.
    • i looked in occasionally and found nothing funny, interesting, stimulating nor any urge to contribute...
    • there's a few newish folks that post too much for my liking (of course there always has been). there's certainly no issue with regards to age (olduns v younguns).
    • my home life has been pretty heavy duty since daughter no.2 arrived and it's taking all my effort to hold things together there, meaning i'm mentally and physically worn out and can't be arsed with internet chitchat and tom foolery...
    • i spend the tiny amount of spare time (ie: time when i'm not working, doing up our new house and being a dad) i have sterilising equipment to make beer, making beer, reading about making beer, drinking beer.
    • i've got a problem with the donation meter rolling over 3 times in just over a month and still saying it's short of target. i've no problem with JR getting a few quid extra for his trouble but that system is fucking dishonest (as i've already mentioned publicly).
    • i may have misplaced my mojo. actually i'm not even leaving or anything... i just can't be arsed at the moment.
    • my :wang: is well and truly deactivated.

    ps edit - no idea where jules is, man. he made the halloween thread recently. no?

     

    so life, basically. thas coo', thas coo'. it happens eventually, I mean you can't imagine yourself hanging around on an internet forum for the rest of your life.

     

     

    aye i've had one of those life things for quite a while alongside hanging out here. i'm just weary. i want to lie down like the guy in the "just" video. and no i can't imagine being here for the rest of my life. that's why it's not a problem.

     

    :flower: to all.

    sounds tasty but that 2nd pic looks like roadkill.

    aye, maybe the patty needs to be a bit firmer. you'd look manly as fuck eating that though.

     

    aye, an hour or 2 in the fridge before cooking would help keep it in tact. do aussies say aye?

     

    me, my sister and couple of friends all say it but we're not scottish. it's not normal. i'm guessing usagi just likes saying too.

     

    lol maybe he was using it cos he was addressing me :cisfor: ... i know some north englanders say it but not so many southerners.

    the house i'm looking after the owner has a 5 grand massage chair. let's just say i'm not letting it go to waste.:)

    good stuff! I was on a cruise that had a massage chair... safe to say it wasn't worth 5 grand ;p

     

    yeah you can choose the aggressiveness of the thing, it feels so good

     

    isn't it like a clumsy robot massaging you? needs that human touch, sensing those tense areas and working them. :boner:

  8. I'm not one for discussing my personal financial situation, however at work (where people are facing the prospect of redundancy shortly - myself included), several of my colleagues are being so frank by publicly talking redundancy payout figures and how it affects them that they're practically one step away from shouting their bank account details out loud. I understand that for some people, talking it out is often a cathartic part of the process when it comes to facing the real prospect of losing your job, but why feel the need to tell all and sundry - especially similarly affected colleagues - how better or worse off you'll be?

     

    sounds like "i'm alright, jack" mentality except they're trying to convince themselves rather than everyone else.
