Hot Chip are/were the next big thing! Go listen to "Over and Over" or "Playboy", which is the track which got me into them a couple of years ago. Yes, I'm THAT cool when it comes to music... j/k

I'm at Ely Place, just off Holborn Circus. That's pretty damn cool to live near Farringdon. Tell me that you live near the Jerusalem Tavern, which is the single best pub in London. Love that place.

That's just not cool. Sorry you received mail of that kind, especially anonymously. Not all of us are like that, honest.

Ely Place is pretty weird, yep. For a start, it's not an official London street. The church there was owned by the Bishop of Ely in Cambridgeshire, along with the surrounding land. So the street is officially Cambridgeshire, and doesn't have a London postcode. If you look at the street signs at the end of it, they're not in the usual London style, and don't have the postcode area on them.

I am full of useless trivia. One day I'll win a pub quiz by myself.

Is Clerkenwell/Farringdon dead at the weekend? I can't help but think it might be.

"They make up a majority of my top drawer (does everyone use the top for this?)."

Absolutely! Who wants to bend down to the bottom drawer EVERY damn day?! And I have a distinct shortage of comedy boxers. I should get some, if only to see the look on the girlfriend's face...

One of the many wonderful things about the UK is that very rarely we get to see movies before the rest of the world. Seeing as how this is a British film, it came out here sometime last summer.

I have to say I was very much underwhelmed. It was much more of a romantic comedy than a Simon Pegg/Edgar Wright film like the other two. And a distinctly mediocre romantic comedy at that.

Although the Asian girl was FIT as...

Absolutely, I don't want to rush anything, having never lived with a girlfriend before. I'm ridiculously laid back in the whole relationships thing, and just let it all run its course. I'll know when the time is right to move in with her.

Ah, that's good detective work! No idea what Cannonball sounds like, I'll have to hunt it down when I get home this evening.

Is the rest of that mixtape worth a listen?

My language, as I stated above, was wholly neutral, other than the opening and closing lines. I called you out for over-reacting and not considering the facts, and you ignored the latter.

On the subject of facts, I note that you've resorted to calling me chauvinistic, a 12 year-old, immature and rude. I'd prefer if you just tried to counter my points, rather than going into personal attacks.

My use of "get over yourself" is an attempt to show you how you're taking everything ultra-seriously and aren't willing to consider any other viewpoint. You've taken your position and aren't going to budge.

And when someone points out that you are wrong and/or overreacting, you don't try to counter their points, but instead resort to personal insults yourself.

My opening and closing could be construed as rude, but what they surround is solid facts. Your posts, meanwhile, contain nothing of the sort, other than rudeness on your part. You also came across as condescending ("my dear man", "your fragile male ego", "makes you sound about 12 years old").

And yet there is more: I apparently need to get it through my skull that no woman likes being referred to as the weaker sex. Where did I ever say that I use the phrase, that I like the phrase, or that I agree with the phrase? Where?

You've taken it (interpreted it, if you will) as a given that I'm a chauvinist who uses this kind of language on a daily basis, without considering whether I have given any indication of that sort. By knowing (and writing) the word "nigger", do you thus think that I am racist too?

Read the posts again. You'll see that I've taken everything on a calm basis, whereas you've resorted to attacking me personally, rather than any fact or point I bring forward.

I really, really hate to be THAT guy (again), but go to the thesaurus.com page for "weaker". Under both entries (Female and Lady), you see "weaker sex" as one of the synonyms. This is why the search engine produces the results it does. There are thousands of words that you could search for that would bring up similar entries.

Cooked or not? Because it would be a pain in the ass to have to go back upstairs and put them in the toaster. Ideally they would be sold already so hot that the filling burns the roof of your mouth when you bite into them. I do this EVERY time.

Re: Aaron White - How much emotion do you put on the web?

gooneruk — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 06:07:56 -0000

I find that I write better while going through bad times, so my longer posts tend to be about something that has upset or angered me. I fully believe in putting the whole of you out there if you put any part of yourself out there. I try not to edit/censor too much, and just lay it all bare - good or bad.

But this has probably got me into trouble a couple of times, so maybe I emote too much?

Cheers, I'll have a gander. Looks like you're right, no seeders at the moment, but hopefully I can get someone there to seed it for me.

I'm getting the hang of it. Sometimes I have these random thoughts that I want to broadcast, but feel that they're a bit too short/random for my tumblelog. Twitter seems to fit that niche quite well for me, and I like the tweets I'm getting from other people too.

I only follow Tumblrs for the time being, as I think I've already got a bit of a relationship / understanding with them and of who they are. I guess it'll grow organically as I find more people who are interesting, just like I did on Tumblr.

I'm not sure if it's as much being an attention seeker as just wanting to document everything that comes to mind for me. Of course, I could just do this in a notebook, but I like to hear people's responses to me too.

Ha, you're the second person that has said that because of this picture. Back when Buffy was on, I used to think that I looked like him but very few people agreed. It's evidently taken until my mid-20s to fully get the lookalike thing going on...

Dammit. I thought nooners were drinks at noon, hence my bit about sundowners. Consider me inept when it comes to American slang for head.

My favourite British/London word for it is "getting shines".

I was using the Tumblr bookmarklet to post this afternoon, using the Markdown language.

I noticed that the 3 links above the text entry box (Bold, Italic, Link) now have fairly chunky borders around each image, whereas previously there were none. Not sure if this was deliberate or not, but it doesn't look brilliant!

This happened on all tabs where they are available (text, link, image, quote, video, audio)...

Yep, afraid so. Two days of eating, boozing and schmoozing in the sunshine. It's a hard life.

I sold out ages ago, don't worry.
