WEDNESDAY THREAD!

Morning.

Just how I like it: sunny and crisp. I can wear my lovely 'flashers' trench coat.

I've had about 3 hours sleep, but I feel okay. Heading down Denmark Street on my lunch to get a new guitar pedal. Exciting stuff.

How are you? I've heard great things about *the* gig last night.

what pedal you getting?

Matt_was_taken and freerange this'd this
- I've been thinking about it for some time
  
  as there's only two of us (drums/guitar set up), and I'm relatively new to pedals (easy to get a bit obsessed with them). I'm trying to save up for a Gretch guitar, so I thought I'd buy another pedal whilst saving. I use a Big Muff frequently, so I'm going to get a Digitech whammy pedal to accompany it.
  
  I'm rubbish at stuff like pedals, but I've been down to Wunjo Guitars a couple of times and they have loads to choose from.
  
  If anyone can recommend something else to accompany a Big Muff then let me know.

  - what kind of thing are you after?
    
    Love my whammy but it has quite limited uses/is easily overused.
    Just bought a metal muff, and I'm thinking about getting a chorus pedal.
    
    ethricdouble @marilyninthesky | 27 Aug '14, 11:00 | X
  - depends on your budget, but look at other similar pedals
    the EHX POG, micropog, HOG, foxrox octron, boss OC-3.
    outside of that type.. reverb will fill out the sound a bit more.. or a looper to build up some layers.
    
    Matt_was_taken @marilyninthesky | 27 Aug '14, 11:02 | X
  - Fucking love Wunjo's.
    
    Been in there loads; never once been made to feel like a twat. The gold standard amongst guitar shops.
    
    GetOffMyLawn @marilyninthesky | 27 Aug '14, 11:08 | X
I have a load of old pedals that I've neglected. Might build myself a pedal board

I'm good thanks. Slept for longer last night; feels great.

Sitting in my rocking chair with my daughter in my arms

As she listens to some ambient and drone to soothe her to sleep. Great times.

morning

last night I dreamt that I was on Pointless. first round question was to name actors and their first films. I said Edward Furlong and Terminator 2, thinking it was quite good, but it got 68. my wife (who was on my team) said one of the Spice Girls and Spice World, and it got 1. we went out :(

absolutely no-one else is in today. most exciting thing that will happen will be me making some slides telling people how to use Excel. going to drill VLOOKUP into them til their eyes burst.

breakfast_t_england | 27 Aug '14, 10:01 | X
Morning!

I'm in a good mood! Because I slept lots.

Today I need to go buy a new book that excites me. Some ideas will be helpful please. Thanks DiS.

meowington | 27 Aug '14, 10:08 | X
- the glass bead game for fiction
  
  or some new cookery book
  or some 'how to' type book
  
  Matt_was_taken @meowington | 27 Aug '14, 10:10 | X
  - I want to start making my own clothes
    
    I think i might get a book on that too.
    
    meowington @Matt_was_taken | 27 Aug '14, 10:23 | X
    - sounds great
      
      use some old clothes (or go to a charity shop), then unstitch them to use them as patterns
      
      Matt_was_taken @meowington | 27 Aug '14, 10:28 | X
      - I might have done this in the past and it not turned out too great....

        Matt_was_taken @meowington | 27 Aug '14, 11:13 | X
        
        I bought The Circle.
        
        no sewing books
        
        meowington @Matt_was_taken | 27 Aug '14, 15:18 | X
- The a Third Policeman
  
  By a Flann o'Brien is a great read, would recommend to all. irish surrealist stuff.

in a bit of a tizzy

because I'm vastly under-organised for going abroad tomorrow. i need to be on a 17.30 train to lonodn tmw, i've not packed yet, and I am out of town tonight visiting my parents. Unless i sack off the parental visit, I'm going to have to try to get packed and flat cleaned up during my lunch hour today (inc getting minge wax) and tomorrow (optician's appointment also to fit in.) Can't decide what to do.
Not talking about football today. Going to go and have my third breakfast in a minute.

Last day off before going back to work.

No plans for it really, although I am double booked for dinner.

I'm going to go get a lovely coffee and read a book.

I've no been to Sleazys

I really wanna. I hope it's full of men with BO and sticky floors and snakebite.

  But I can speak on behalf of all Glaswegian DiS men and say we all smell delightful

- you can get buckfast by the glass
  
  It does amazing burgers (including delicious handmade veggie ones) andcheap white russians, and it is a nice place to go. oh yes, triple cooked chips! I've been for food a fair bit recently but not been on a night out in so long.

Hangover coming in slow

Not looking forward to work, where today I'm shovelling seaweed out of an outdoor pool after a dirty tide came in. I have no idea why we're doing it because during the winter more seaweed will surely come over?

Listening yo A$AP Rocky to keep me alive

Might get a fry before work.

PinkyBrain | 27 Aug '14, 11:39 | X
Just been told I've got an interview in That London again next Wednesday

I hate it, I always get too nervous and muck them up, feels like a waste of everyone's time. Might try valiums.
That's my news for today.

RFWare | 27 Aug '14, 14:02 | X
blahdy knackered mate

got told to be a more aggressive after bjj, fair point really I worry far too much about my positioning some times and it causes me to hesitate.

Tonight, sorting out some more stuff with a gig we're putting on (details forthcoming). Watching Vikings, going to bed early. The latter probably won't happen.

wewerewerewolvesonce | 27 Aug '14, 14:11 | X
I think i may have a hangover creeping in

Might ditch work and go play golf
