A little Beetle lovin'

So cool. (via)

doctorvee has a collection of YouTube clips of the BBC2 idents, and pretty much agree with him on Silk being the best.

In the meantime, what do you do when a sports star declares he hates gay people? Well, George Takei has a pretty good way to deal, because, y'know, that's really what it's all about, right?

Anyway, driving to Devon tomorrow, finishing off emptying the flat, no idea how long it'll take. And confirmed today, will be in Harrogate Thursday through Sunday, that could end up interesting...

aha - so it's not just me that can't sleep and has resorted to the internet then

[matgb]

Well, my connection was crap most of the evening, so I'm catching up now. Turning in soon though, honest...

[pinkshifter.livejournal.com]

strangely enough my wireless has been playing silly buggers all evening - it must be that we worked so hard today that brains are not willing to switch off - now getting serious munchies though!

[matgb]

I forced myself to cook food when I got in, before going upstairs, else I knew I'd never drag myself back into the kitchen.

Good meal too, Sainsbury's have got a nice line of fresh one-portion pastas that are quite cheap, suits a lazy git like me anyway...

bah - i munched my first reply - it must be due to hunger - i went for the easy option of a couple of potato waffles when i got in followed by much poking of the internets. I've found it very hard to get to sleep in the past when you're in need of sustenance.

Harrogate? I assume that's for the Spring Conference; was toying with the idea of attending but didn't bother in the end. Gimme a shout if you're around Friday or Saturday!

[matgb]

Yup; I've been doing some work in Cowley St and they needed registration stewards, so I'm sat on the desks handing badges out for two days. Travelling up Thursday, travelling back Sunday evening, not sure on what hours I'm working specifically yet, probably 'when needed'.

We're expecting many day visitors apparently, it'll be my first time (which'll be fun).

Awwwwww Beetle Love See No Colour!

So what method of transportation are you using to get to Hairy Git?

And have you found the F-locked "address book" post with my phone number on yet?

[matgb]

Train; up on Thursday, setup afternoon, free evening if we get it all working, then working indeterminate hours Friday & Saturday, then travel back Sunday evening.

You said you might be free Fri or Sat?

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I work Thursday night and all day Sunday, but I have Friday and Saturday off.

Depending on times and things I know a nice Ducky Vegetarian place in Bradford, if you need feeding?

[matgb]

Sounds like a vague plan; like I said, no idea about work schedule yet, will ask, I know Emma was working on something but she hadn't finished it.

Not even sure whether I ended up with a room of my own or sharing with someone I've not met, not that it really matters that much.

And places to eat can be nice, they're supposed to be precise and satisfactory ;-)

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

Well, Friday is possibly better than Saturday for me, but there's not much in it, so if one is easier than the other for you... There are fairly regular trains from HairyGit to Bradford (although they all seem to be via Leeds). I expect things can be made firm definite later. Let me know when you know if you know what I mean ;)

Did you get all your stuff that you needed to get?

Good luck, very good luck.

Harrogate hmmm..? Now, who what ELSE could you be doing whilst in Yorkshire..?

"Happy" is rarer than we think. (throws in some waffle about regretting things not done more than things done..)

Win.

[matgb]

Well, y'know, you hear all these stories about the goings on at conference, got to find out if they're true, right?

But yeah, thanks.

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

LMAO and I thought *I* didn't do subtle...

* pulls your beard *

Mat, d'you know this man? He seems to be insinuating something... ;)

Re: Good luck, very good luck.

[matgb]

Gina introduced us, you'll have to blame her.

No idea what he's suggesting, I never notice these things.

*innocent look because he hasn't got an icon for it*

Something like that?

Note to self: blame Gina. ;)

Re: Good luck, very good luck.

[matgb]

Something like that, yes. Now, given I really should be in Devon by now, I will shut down the image software and go cook part two of the meal...

Re: Good luck, very good luck.

I regret know nothing!

"Insinuating something" Watashi?

Re: Good luck, very good luck.

Re: Good luck, very good luck.

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]
