Good Morning Wednesday Thread!
Good morning y'all!
I hope you're well. I've had about two hours sleep, but I'm awake now so I'm going to make some fresh coffee.
I went to the Prince Charles Cinema for the first time last night to watch Django Unchained, it's so cheap there. £10 membership a year and then films are about £4/£8.50 which is so cheap for London!
Meeting a DISer for a coffee later and then cooking for my flatmate this evening. I'm on the sick this week so I'm taking it easy, but hopefully it will give me some time to sort some things out in my life and get back to being a bit healthy. Haven't drank any alcohol for nearly three weeks and I shall try and abstain for the month.
Is anyone going to Primavera Sound?
Anyway, have a lovely day.
morning mits; everyone
at work but might go home, have been sneezing loads and my stomach feels weird. have never had a sick day though so don't want to blemish my perfect record (will catch smallpox or something now and be off for months).
You may pass it on to everyone else though.
Hioe you get better.
x
I think they gave it to me
so they're welcome to have it back. I'm in a fairly small room with max 5 other people, surprised people don't get ill and pass it round more often :/
I've had loads of time off work lately
But I did go to hospital so I'm hoping that will help my case. Thing is, and this is from experience, if you are genuinely ill and you don't get any rest then you end up worse in the long run. That's purely on experience though.
agree with the rest thing
think i'm less ill, more upset stomach due to drinking a whole 600ml bottle of pepsi max by about 8:30am.
drink some water and flush it all out x
MORNING MITS
PRIMAVERA SOUND CHECKING IN
Appraisal today, yikes. Looking forward to the usual three minutes of panic and nausea before I realise no-one's going to mention my internet use.
ps. say hi to raanraals for me
eh?
=D
just a guess at the coffee DiSser.
Oh, no Raanaals is currently away
Have you booked everything for Primavera? I'm late (as usual) but decided i really want to go!
yeah I'm all sorted
that lineup! bands I've actually heard of for once! Amazing! Have you been before?
No, but this line-up looks AMAZING!
Just looked
Accommodation is separate. F_C have you sorted out where you're staying?
yer
there's like a big group of us renting a couple of apartments. some of this lot have been using the same place for donkey's years.
I fear i've left organising this too late and can only rope one friend in at short notice
I shall investigate. I cannot believe the line-up. Arf.
There's LOADS of accommodation in Barcelona, mits.
Don't worry!
Will you come to this one too?
You seem to know how to plan things and you are lots of fun.
i know a place that does decent enough single bed rooms too if you need it
i used them last year as was going with five lads and they wanted to get a dorm. not my style that.
:D
Nah, I can't do both. I'm going on holiday 4 times already this year!
PORTO PRIMAVERA HO!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing to report today. HURRY UP FRIDAY.
porto is so lovely
had such a good time there last year. shame the lineup's smaller otherwise there'd be no contest between the two really.
So excited. Never been to Portugal before either.
Portugal looks amazing
We're flying in Lisbon, staying there for a few days then taking the PARTY BEER TRAIN
to Porto. It's gonna be a BLAST.
that train's great but one of the most depressing things ever
the interior of Portugal, crikey, you just see so many knackered towns in poverty from the train :./
:(
it's so pretty
takes lots of film (you shoot film too, right?) I took like 9 rolls but couldn't get enough photos of the architecture - so lovely!
https://www.flickr.com/photos/hayles83/sets/72157633908574434/
I don't any more (it got too expensive with mixed results,
but I really, REALLY miss it and kind of regret it. Should have at least kept one camera to be honest but the reason I stopped was because my best one broke). Those photos are completely wonderful <3
yeah, I've had some average shots lately that have really made me cross
I feel like I've wasted time and money when they're not what I pictured them as but I love it and I don't shoot any other way, except some crap shots on my phone.
I've discovered that poundland do film now, it's not bad either!
Loads of those Porto ones are on 20 year old film so that's why some are so dark but I like them :)
Yeah there's something about them you can't replicate with digital, for sure.
Beautiful

Morning
I slept for ten hours and as such have a sleep hangover, but it's good not to be hungover in work! Most potential for productivity has gone out the window (literally) with the rain (Cardiff) and now I can't stop looking out at the grey view.
I'm not going to Primavera but it looks fucking amazing as usual. Think Green Man is my only festival stop this year, will have to make the most of it. Time for a brew.
I was thinking of going to the Green Man
It's not too far from my family and they have some really good line-ups. I've never been to a festival aboard though and Primavera looks amazing this year.
What do you do in Cardiff? You commute through Bridgend don't you?
The only foreign festival I've been to is Roskilde in Denmark
It's been a few years but it's still one of my favorite memories. Its awesome getting to see some cool bands in a familiar structure like a gig but then being in and around a new culture. Hope you enjoy it! The weather's bound to be amazing and the lineup is great. Television playing Marquee Moon will be completely rad!
Yeah I commute from Porthcawl to Cardiff (through Bridgend) every day, it's a pain, but I get to nap on the train. Except when there are people playing the Lighthouse Family on their phone. I just do admin in a solicitors, it's a nightmare but it pays the rent. Looking for other stuff but my motivation is easily sieved out. Ah well :)
Porthcawl <3
The family yearly outings took place every year there. I'm just back from spending a week in Wales. As I get older I seem to be getting a bit homesick, not for the country as such, but the people.
Also: http://www.greenman.net/lineup
Big Fat White Family are playing
yusss
NMH, Beirut, Bill Callahan, Kurt Vile, Jeffrey Lewis
Looks so good. Hopefully stays dry! :)
Really want to go to this
anyone wanna buy a kidney? I'd offer a lung as well but they're in pretty poor shape.
£159 including accommodation is pretty good :)
morning
holiday tomorrow. good.
just realised a conf call booked by the 'murcans clashes with my gym class. fuckers.
where are you going?
paris
to see diser!
Lemon Brick?
Be cautious, he seems the type that may mount you on arrival.
y
it be cool.
you wish love
sorry thought this was the sexist thread
Getting a bit tricky to predict this weather eh?
Looked a right twat this morning sweating out on the train in a massive coat and jumper.
i feel your pain
I mistakenly looked like a flasher the other day i.e. trench coat with a shorter skirt underneath, looked like I had nothing on underneath.

Also, want to book a holiday this week.
Cliche couple problem I know, but thinly veiled wants to go somewhere with relaxing beaches, whereas I like to do a bit more- see museums and stuff. Can anyone recommend anywhere with a bit of both? Hot weather in July/ August/ September preferable.
Happy St George's Day you lot

Good morning everyone
very much enjoyed 5 a side last night, but have had 2 terrible nights sleep in a row so am a zombie today.
those two things are not connected, as that sentence seems to imply.
5 a side of what
football
(the orgies are on Wednesday Nights)
no accidental misplacing of the penis on Wednesdays then!
It definitely knows it's final destination.
Morning Dissers
Slept a wee bit better last night, that is to say i got more than 3 hours sleep.
I'm not going to primavera, would love to be, haven't been in 3 years.
I want a holiday.
come to Primavera - that's a holiday!
i'd love to but work is far too busy round that time
:(
I've just spent the last 15 minutes convinced that I was going to get sued
By a large cosmetics company.
Turns out it was just a secretarial fuck up and things are (mostly) fine. Again.
I need a lie down/Mad Men-inspired work drinking culture.
I would kill for a little bar at work like that.
*be killed by
I always wanted one of those old globe shaped mini bar type things
me too
Proper ones are really expensive.
People using a Mac
eek pressed click too soon
People using a mac, do you know how to click down to the bottom of the thread without using the slide thing on the right? I have clicked on the Download Festival (---->) more times than I want to.
I'm just using the down key
Annoying isn't it?
Morning
Spent all of yesterday napping and doing nothing. Picked up around five hours sleep over three nights and I was a walking zombie. Did drink quite a lot of rum and I think sugar crashes are worse than hangovers. I'm going to see Listener tonight after work. Might walk from work in Hendon to kill some time.
Three day week! I'm in two minds about going back to Bristol to see Oneman and Ryan Hemsworth. I crashed at a friends I never see and we had a bit of an argument before I left. Nothing too damaging but I don't want it hanging over us for the next (probable) four months before I see her again. Plus, y'know Ryan Hemsworth.
I am going to Primavera Sound, yes. Everything is sorted except for spending cash.
i'm putting on a clubnight on the 26th then primavera excitement begins in earnest for me
whereabouts in Earnest, mate?
Forgot my headphones
like a dickhead.
Boss sent me an email yesterday asking all of us to confirm when we wanted to take holiday this summer. Depressingly reminded me of the fact that I have NO PLANS and NO FRIENDS.
hi
Hit me
Where shall we go/what shall we do?
i just hit you!
(on facebook)
this is a nice conversation
i'm in a similar boat, not suggesting you and I should holiday together right enough
everyone i know is either booked up or going away with their other fucking half
dinner?
went to see The Body in Glasgow last night
it was a short set but immense. One of my favourite bands at the moment.
Saw Sir Richard Bishop on Monday and it's Swans and Melt Banana soon, it's been a decent year for gigs so far.
Going to see Captain America tonight, should be alright.
did you see any of the support acts?
My pal was drumming for one of them.
saw VOE and Headless Cross
was it one of those?
it was the former!
nice
I enjoyed them, they reminded me of Neurosis.
fair to say they're a pretty big influence on then
so bright outside
i've not drank for a year now (for health reasons). turns out i haven't even found it hard.
i'm not going to primavera
might not even be leaving the house today. have a meeting at 12 but it might be cancelled, i need send some more e-mails. also waiting to hear if my boyfriend wants me to meet him at his work later.
Not drinking in social situations, pubs etc
Do you find it easy/adaptable?
My friend (who has been teetotal for 9 years) told me that I'm much nicer when I've not had a drink. He's probably right. i'm a dick at the best of times but can get out of hand when I've had too much.
some of my friends haven't accepted it yet and try to get me to have a drink (even though i can't walk for two days afterwards; alcohol not only makes my body inflamed but can be really painful and damaging to my stomach because of my medication).
i think if people are accepting of your choice it's a lot easier to go out. a lot of my friends know that i'm serious about it and are accepting of that.
i still feel like a bit of a dick ordering water at a pub if they don't do anything (other than pop on tap) that's nonalcoholic. pubs are so much easier than clubs, though.
i've not been clubbing much. when i have been out there has been times when i've wanted to go home before everyone else and worried that if i go people will think i'm boring and i'll stop being invited out socially.
i think i enjoy the pub more, but clubbing less. obviously it depends on who you're around and how accepting they are that you're definitely not drinking.
It's amazing how alcohol is a massive factor in people's lives
And if you don't drink it seems to be an even bigger issue! I have saved well over 200 quid the past couple of weeks from not drinking, it's insane.
Is your boyfriend fine with it?
morning
I'm quite tired. was planning on going to bed early but stayed up watching a terrible game of snooker, then seen this just as I was about to go to bed and ended up watching the whole thing.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVEparrBK8A
it was quite good though
JOSH HAMM
OH LORD. I'm going to watch that today.
*jon
but yeah. even I would.
oh yeah barcelona people come here and have a birthday drink with me wednesday:
http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g187497-d3825389-Reviews-Rubi_Bar-Barcelona_Catalonia.html
the strawberry mojitos are ridiculously strong, tasty and cheap!
Are you going for a week then?
yep, tuesday to monday
last year did weds-sun but felt i didn't have enough time. was difficult to convince my boss to let me have a holiday that cut into month-end but i somehow managed it.
you're massively kind of making me wish i was doing barca a little bit
you get 1 euro wine though
and grass to sit and stand on! my feet will be so envious.
:D
True.
Though I don't really wish to repeat my previous DiS Barca meats if I'm quite honest so it's probably for the best.
oh, tell me more
it was all Matt_was_Taken's fault.
I want to know too
What did you do...!?
I was the perfect gentleman I'll have you know
morning mits, DiS
i am drinking coffee
my life is really interesting
bye

Decided to walk back from my best mates house
He lives in town and its about a fifty minute walk back to mine. It's slightly humid and bright so the wildlife/ambience is pretty good. My housemates will be out all day so I'm gonna get loads of work done.
Its my friday
Hair looks a bit shit though.
hi marlilyn
i am indeed going to barcelona for primavera. will be my 5th consecutive year. it's my favourite festival in the world.
personally having a bad wednesday, found out a good friend of mine had died at 34 yesterday. been mates since we were kids, a lot of people are broken up about it. childish to say so but it's fo fucking unfair.

sorry to hear that :(
Really sorry to hear that Matthew
Doesn't sound childish in the least
xx

everyone.
(and nobody pointed out the 'fo fucking' typo either - you guys are sweet)
- Kind of wish I booked tickets to some of these convergence events
hopefully Desertfest will make up for it
- Our new housemate has been cleaning everything which is awesome although I think I'm now going to need to up my cleaning game
- My shoulders are still sore from when we were practicing omoplata's on Monday
I spent my evening in the company of cocodaLOL
On the overground and in Shoreditch. Was good. Got to use the overground too, so mad props to TfL.
Didn't get back to my hotel until 1.30am, so suitably knackered. Not hungover despite drinking a little too much.
Might go and see Cap America tonight. Is the Vue in Reading a bag of Shit?
It's fine.
Try and buy tickets a bit before the film though, gets really busy on Orange Wednesdays.
Also:
COME TO LONDON AGAIN TOMORROW!!! Or something.
I'm meeting some pals in Woking
daaaaaaaawwww :(
we will never meet.
Ah fuck
It's Wednesday. Totally thought it was Tuesday. Will give it a miss
I haven't seen that yet
and Brooke might be up for it as well if you like?
ive commited to hanging out with the two other guys on the course tonight
i felt bad hopping into london without them yesterday when they were relegated to eating pizza hut at the business park :D
oh Jesus
those poor guys.
had a full hours extra sleep this morning
really like that new horrors song, progtastic
It's my Monday, so
does that mean that TOMORROW is my hump day? Fuck that.
I have abit of a cold, or maybe it's hayfever?
Babysat my sister's child for the first time yesterday on my own for parts of the day. Most terrifying thing ever and such ard work as she just wants to walk (jump/dance) everywhere but she needs you to hold her hands as she can't do it on her own yet. i think I've broken my back. We totally bonded though.
Ging to see two of my best friends from manchester for lunch in just over an hour! Got client drinks tonight.
Knackered.
HI PO
XX
HI!!
Lunch has been put back half an hour (boo) but it looks like I've managed to swerve client drinks tonight (YAAAY.)I'm going to eat swine for lunch and then laze about in my pants tonight watching catch up TV and cutting scraps out of magazines. Heavenly.
On a train to Lancaster
Northern Irish guy sat opposite is having a massive row with some woman on the phone. It's finished between them apparently.
Christ I'm bored
can someone make a good thread
my track record says: not me
no u
I was close to making one about gardening, not really sure that fits the bill
I'd post in that
I've got some grass seeds coming in the post.
FIFA suspend Barca's transfer ban.
BORING
two football threads and I can't even click on either :(
I had the flu for the entire fucking easter weekend
even missed work yesterday because of it. Started watching Sons Of Anarchy on the first day, I'm now half way through the 3rd season and getting withdrawal as it's all I've done for 5 days. Might start a biker gang if anyone wants in?
