Hurt Kermit's empire of dirt...

How cool is that? ETA theweaselking had also earlier posted it, and has a link to the 45Mb WMV file on SadKermit.Com. A site I may explore further when I've time...

Also? Sir Tim interviewed on World Service Business Daily (starts about twoo minutes into the Thursday show, no idea how they're web archive sytem works but it's here currently).

Had a good evening in the pub with nadriel chatting about random stuff. Have decided that The Cavern is a better pub than The Tavern, if only because the jukebox is better. Someone was paying to listen to lots of Meatloaf, but given I've lost my copy of Bat Out of Hell (I think my sister has it, no real matter), that's not actually as bad as it sounds...

G'night all.

Gina's going for Beltane 1st May. I'll let you decide which one you want to take me at to...

[matgb]

Once we have received your request we will add your details to a waiting list. Then if you are successful you should expect to receive your tickets approximately 2 weeks prior to the show date.

1st May, will probably fill in the form for the other dates. Nice that they'll let you know two weeks before, um, guys? Some people need to travel/book time off, etc. Grah!

Crappy website with unintuitive fields :-(

It's the beeb, love. Nobody lives outside of central London, didn't you know? It's just a barren wasteland.

This why I phoned - it was STILL shit..

[killtest.livejournal.com]

Yes, except the ticketing agency is now in Glasgow. And apparently permanently stoned.

[matgb]

True. The ticket unit is, I think, a subcontractor, which given they're supposed to be pros, sucks. It's things like you click the link from the show page to the ticket page; it knows which show you want already,b utyou still need to tell it the date and time of the show, which is daft. I think even I could programme dynamic drop down choices and know tat all shows for programme X record at time Y.

Ah well, they're ordered, we'll see what we get out of it.

But sweetie, that's because you're BETTER than them.

* finally gets the video to work *

OMG... that's... I'm undecided if the most disturbing thing is seeing Kermit smoke a fag, or hearing him swear. Or the fact that it's actually quite good.

* needs brain bleach *

Aye. flemco (who you'd probably like actually) and theweaselking also both posted it, and the comment threads there are mixed. The number of people who hated it at Jay's surprised me, given the sick nature of a lot of his stuff.

Heh; if you don't know of Jay already, he wrote my favourite ever webcomic:

So very true.

DL Creep. Ye gods. "I am Green, I'm a weirdo"

So very cool.

Ahahahahahahaha LOVE the comic... Although, you know, the blonde? Ew. [/bitch]

The bit where he looks up at the picture of Jim Henson when he sings "everyone I know goes away in the end" is just priceless. Hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. Which is how the Muppets SHOULD be, actually.

Oh Lordy...

Is this the time to tell you that somebody I dumped once got that song dedicated to me? The Radiohead version, I mean.

Re: * finally gets the video to work *

[matgb]

Um, he did this and you dumped him, or you dumped him then he did this? Because if the latter, um, a bit freaky/obsessive/wrong?

Re: * finally gets the video to work *

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

The latter. Yes, freaky, obsessive, etc. That was when I stopped going to Tumblers (despite the Terrorvision attendance) and started going to Rios...

LMAO "whatever makes you happy, whatever Piggy wants"

Re: * finally gets the video to work *

[matgb]

Ah well, I've not done freaky obsessive; I've encountered it, but not done it.

But yeah. Now going through Something I Can Never Have, and that's just freaky. It's got Fozzy in the background I think...

* eyes your icon *

There's a fair amount of ambiguity in that hug, isn't there? With him raising his eyes heavenwards like that... ;)

* is amused *

And yeah, long time ago. So, I can laugh now. Actually, I was a pretty horrible person back then for various reasons. I may have laughed at the time.

Re: * finally gets the video to work *

[matgb]

It was this, or steal another of your icons, or go trawling for inspirations somewhere. I like the film, and somehow I'm in more of a Westley mood than an Inigo mood at the moment. Can't think why.

I wasn't the nicest of people when Creep was doing the rounds, über tarty me was a bit more than naughty a few times. So yeah, I can relate.

Re: * finally gets the video to work *

[miss-s-b.livejournal.com]

I wasn't the nicest of people...

That's OK, you're making up for it now ;)
