This is the Wednesday thread.

Anything to report? The coffee machine in Waitrose was buggered this morning so I'm having to make my own coffee. Awful.

Hello

Im having a cup of tea at work! (first in maybe a year or two - usually a water drinker)

Matt_was_taken | 29 Jan '14, 08:48 | X
- You must have finished it now.
  
  Was it nice?
  
  plasticniki @Matt_was_taken | 29 Jan '14, 09:32 | X
  - not really :/
    
    work only had semi skimmed milk.. probably stick with water
    
    Matt_was_taken @plasticniki | 29 Jan '14, 09:39 | X
    - that's PERFECT for tea!!!!
      
      plasticniki @Matt_was_taken | 29 Jan '14, 09:42 | X
it's interview day

probably the most important life event since my wondrous birth.
also what's good to do in edinburgh nearish to haymarket station?

shrewbie | 29 Jan '14, 08:49 | X
- good luck!

- Good luck!
  
  How long do you have to kill near haymarket and how far would you stray from it?
  
  PickledOeuf @shrewbie | 29 Jan '14, 09:41 | X
  - ta
    
    Just a couple of hours. Fine with walking 20 minutes or so i guess
    
    shrewbie @PickledOeuf | 29 Jan '14, 10:15 | X
    - well, you could just wander about the west end
      
      it's full of nice shops and cafes and stuff and lots of cobbled streets behind shandwick place. Or you could head east towards the centre/ princes street etc. you'd have time to go to the royal mile and see edinburgh proper, if only for an hour.
      
      PickledOeuf @shrewbie | 29 Jan '14, 11:08 | X
- You don't need luck
  
  Well done in advance on getting the job.

- the zoo is a very short bus ride from Haymarket
  
  other than, that it's only a 10ish minute walk to the town centre!

You all set for Bruges PN?

Today can already fuck off.

Lo-Pan | 29 Jan '14, 08:58 | X
- Sort of.
  
  Well, I discovered yesterday the Bruges Beer Festival is this weekend. Couldn't have timed it better! So that's basically the entire weekend sorted.

the rest of my team are on an away-day today

due to a quirk in my funding, I'm not part of the service and therefore I don't have to attend. I have the office to myself ALL DAY.

Anyone want anything doing for them?

colon_closed_bracket | 29 Jan '14, 09:18 | X
- Please can you do all my work for me
  
  and also go to a meeting for me at 10.30? Thanks very much.
  
  plasticniki @colon_closed_bracket | 29 Jan '14, 09:44 | X
  - ah damn, I have a meeting at 10.30 already
    
    I'll do your JPGs for you this week :)

saw rm hubbert/mogwai last night

heads still shaking a bit

need to book a holiday soon

fitzcarraldo | 29 Jan '14, 09:31 | X
- My ears are still ringing from forgetting to wear earplugs for their gig on Saturday night :/
  
  Given there's something wrong with my right ear drum I think that wasn't the best move.
  
  plasticniki @fitzcarraldo | 29 Jan '14, 09:45 | X
  - i forgot earplugs too, my mate stuffed rolled up receipts in his :D
    
    wasn't oppressively loud until "mogwai fear satan" so i think i've gotten off lightly
    
    fitzcarraldo @plasticniki | 29 Jan '14, 09:59 | X
- how was the gig fitz?
  
  Lo-Pan @fitzcarraldo | 29 Jan '14, 09:55 | X
  - really really good man
    
    that was the first time i'd seen hubby doing his thing, aidan came on at the end and did "car song" with him which was fucking magic
    
    mogwai did pretty close to a greatest hits set so i was happy, "remurdered" sounded fucking incredible too
    
    fitzcarraldo @Lo-Pan | 29 Jan '14, 10:00 | X
    - nice. remurdered is a really good track, and i say that as someone who isn't much of a mogwai fan.
      
      Lo-Pan @fitzcarraldo | 29 Jan '14, 10:05 | X
      - aye i'm not mad about the new album tbh, first 3/4 tracks are great though
        
        you on a paris comedown?
        
        fitzcarraldo @Lo-Pan | 29 Jan '14, 10:07 | X
        
        yeah a wee bit.
        
        but i'm off to amsterdam on monday so i can't be too fucked off! :)
        
        Lo-Pan @fitzcarraldo | 29 Jan '14, 10:12 | X
        
        sounds shite! ;)
        
        have a grand time man

I fear I may be coming down with a cold/throat infection :(

Had a lovely slow roasted lamb shoulder and enjoyed watching the merseyside derby last night though.

Gutted it isn't actually Thursday.

ElthamsmateOwen | 29 Jan '14, 09:37 | X
- Quick! Pile on the vitamin C!
  
  I could eat some lamb right now, yes I could.
  
  plasticniki @ElthamsmateOwen | 29 Jan '14, 09:46 | X
  - I have piled on all of the vitamins I thought might help, even if just a little
    
    I was running late this morning and had to go without coffee too which has meant I feel like shittttt. Not long until I can feasibly go and make a coffee though.
    
    I brought a lamb and mint sandwich. Diet be damned, I cannot wait until lunch time.

But I've just done back to back 14 hour days so it should be my Friday really. My body clock isn't liking this at all.

  Must have been a good 12 incher. When my boyfriend got back from his book award thing he said DID YOU LEAVE ANY FOR ME? I laughed in his face.

I sacked off Mogwai last night

to spend some time with my sister and boyfriend, who were in my flat yesterday doing lots of repairs.

FYI Glasgow people, the restaurant across from my flat is doing 50% off food until tomorrow. I took them there for tea and saved £35 and it was AMAZING (smoked meat platter, selection of sliders, chips, best onion rings ever, deep fried jalapenos and deep fried pickles.)http://www.bathstreetpalomino.co.uk/
If anybody wants a voucher, I have fistfuls of them at my flat/ office so just shout.
Before that we went to teh tiki bar where we all got our pictures taken in a coffin (not all at once, one by one). It was good.
Other than that MEH, FUCKING MEH.

PickledOeuf | 29 Jan '14, 09:45 | X
- I want meat.
  
  I want to come to Glasgow and eat meat.
  
  I want to come to Glasgow and eat meat right now.
  
  ChintzyLacroix @PickledOeuf | 29 Jan '14, 10:50 | X

    Fleur is here friday and saturday- you should come!

    - you tried jacker di viande for meat yet PO?
      
      we went last friday and it was the bollocks, their chilli burger was the best i've had outside of burgermeister in berlin
      
      fitzcarraldo @PickledOeuf | 29 Jan '14, 11:29 | X
      - yes
        
        I took clients there last week. LOVED it.
        
        PickledOeuf @fitzcarraldo | 29 Jan '14, 11:32 | X
        
        although this was during the day
        
        I had a peer into it one night and it looked well scary in the dark. Maybe too scary for me.
        
        PickledOeuf @PickledOeuf | 29 Jan '14, 11:37 | X
      - I haven't come across this place, will check it out.

      Like this is an actual thing.
      
      ChintzyLacroix @PickledOeuf | 29 Jan '14, 11:29 | X
      - that will be fun
        
        I love dog sitting! (whose dog/ what kind?)
        
        Are you hungover or poorly?
        Many questions. I've decided to start smoking again despite the fact that I have primary pleurisy as a result of cracked ribs. Going ot go out now and see if I can manage maybe half a fag.
        
        PickledOeuf @ChintzyLacroix | 29 Jan '14, 11:34 | X
        
        My Sister's Bichon Frise... Primrose.
        
        I'm not even hungover. What a total joke.
        
        I have become a part time smoker. It's alright.
        
        WAIT. CRACKED RIBS? Did I know about this? Is this from when I was lst there? Also many questions...
        
        ChintzyLacroix @PickledOeuf | 29 Jan '14, 12:40 | X
        
        Awwww I love bichons
        
        And that name m using my leccie fag in the mornings though.
        
        Cracked a rib by wearing my belt (corsetty thing) too tight with my kilt at the weekend. Resultant pleurisy is causing me distress.
        Goping for lunch with Jules now but will email you this afternoon. Just sneezed there and think I may have recracked the lower rib, which was healing well.

I'm off today

Normally I work on a Wednesday but the kids I teach have their prelims. Using the time to pull together a proposal I should have written ages ago anyway which I have no idea about :/

DarwinDude | 29 Jan '14, 10:11 | X

Interview day today too

Don't want the job. They seem like arses. However I want the interview practice. Have to give a 5min presentation on something unrelated to my role. Made a quick pres last night and now I'm trying to remember what I wanted to say on each point.

        it's pretty boring in my place. I keep flitting between wanting to sck it up so I can buy my flat and be a grown up and wanting to chuck it and go back to live at my mum's and work 'in the family business'. (ie do very little get paid nada).

Insomnia is back

I only want to sleep in the morning.

Realised I am way more broker than I thought I was. Wanted to order the Actress discoboxset but it is €€€€€.

Electric razor/beard trimmer broke. yet another unwanted expense to replace that, unless I go full on Ahab/alcxxk.

Gonna do a little midweek early doors clubbing tonight. L.I.E.S. bringing the party with Shadowlust. It's great that they're now based in Paris, so much cheap fun nights out these days.

Have a date with a girl I met on tinder Friday. Sceptical. She seems feisty and confident which I generally find really attractive (plus she's half algerian which is a definite ++++) but when I referred to Alien as the first feminist blockbuster her response was that she hates feminists. Errrrr.... Oh and her favourite band is Naked and Famous or something. They sound like MGMT. Not even the interesting MGMT either. But she likes Neil Young! Oh who am I kidding this is going to be disastrous.

Can't wait for my three day Superbowl weekend.
