| 17:38:43 |
Darren | will talk about that in a bit though, brb
|
| 17:38:51 |

Darren | Anyway, my weekend was good, but the train journeys were a bit stressful given how i'm not used to traveling. delays and no seats during the journey there and back were annoying. Had to make changes where I shouldn't have had to etc which confused me a little
|
| 18:23:45 |
Darren | still, it was worth it for the awesome weekend I had
|

Darren | Manchester
|
| 18:24:44 |
Pooka | also, hi LordF
|
| 18:24:52 |
Pooka | Oh, ok. Nice place.
|
| 18:24:59 |
Darren | it is indeed!
|
| 18:25:07 |
Darren | Should have met up with Kieran but he was working
|
| 18:25:17 |
Pooka | He does that.
|
| 18:25:27 |
Darren | was going to track him down, but I gave up when I found out how many Tescos are actually in Manchester :P
|
| 18:25:35 |
Pooka | He lives in Blackpool!
|
| 18:25:42 |
Darren | he works in manchester! :P
|
| 18:25:56 |
Pooka | forgot about the job shift
|
| 18:26:06 |
Darren | pfft, call yourself a friend?
|
| 18:26:08 |
Darren | BE GONE WITH YOU!
|
| 18:26:23 |
Darren | its fine, I didn't give enough notice thats all
|
| 18:26:28 |
Darren | next time i'll make sure he has the time off
|
| 18:26:32 |
Pooka | is speedily planning tomorrow's Japanese lesson
|
| 18:27:03 |
Darren | why dont you teach me some japanese sometime?
|
| 18:27:18 |
Pooka | Depends what you want to learn.
|
| 18:27:34 |
Darren | meh, basics and then build on it
|
| 18:27:40 |
Darren | speaking it and writing it
|
| 18:27:43 |
Pooka | I've got a certificate in teaching MFLs, and have proved I can successfully plan and deliver a term
|
| 18:27:48 |
Pooka | of basic Japanese
|
| 18:28:07 |
Pooka | but since there are 4 alphabets, a reading/writing course would take years
|
| 18:29:07 |
Pooka | browses Wikipedia to find out how to write "Kanji" in Kanji

Darren | got soaked on the way home
|
| 18:33:24 |
Darren | its been a very poor weekend weather wise anyway
|
| 18:33:28 |
Darren | hence why we stayed in most of the time
|
| 18:34:32 |
David | You stayed in because of hens? ;)
|
| 18:37:15 |
Pooka | finishes lesson plan
|
| 18:37:38 |
Darren | what age group do you teach?
|
| 18:38:07 |
Pooka | Reception, but my Japanese class are year 5.
|
| 18:38:21 |
Pooka | Reception can't get past "desu ka?", at a push. ;)
|
| 18:38:26 |
David | How many more lessons before term ends?
|
| 18:38:47 |
Pooka | Term ends on Wednesday.
|
| 18:39:00 |
Pooka | Tomorrow's my last lesson.
|
| 18:39:01 |
Darren | you teach reception children japanese?
|
| 18:39:09 |
Darren | is unsure if you're serious or not
|
| 18:39:13 |
Darren | I mean, thats impressive
|
| 18:39:30 |
Pooka | Nope, I teach year 5 Japanese.
|
| 18:39:38 |
Pooka | I teach Reception children everythint else.
|
| 18:39:41 |
Darren | hmm, thats still good though
|
| 18:39:56 |
Pooka | Well, I'm pretty pleased with what I've managed so far.
|
| 18:40:32 |
Pooka | If they keep their notebooks safe, they should have grounding on greetings, questions, food and colours so far
|
| 18:40:47 |
Pooka | and tomorrow I'm going through the hiragana alphabet and doing numbers 1 - 10
|
| 18:41:53 |
Darren | heh, today me and my friend bought a shit load of manga
|
| 18:41:55 |
Darren | mostly him though
|
| 18:42:01 |
Darren | he got death note 1 through 12
|
| 18:42:10 |
Darren | from 3 different waterstones
|
| 18:42:23 |
Pooka | Waterstone's have a good manga policy, imho.
|
| 18:42:30 |
Darren | I got gravitation ex and legal drug 3
|
| 18:42:42 |
Darren | also signed up for one of their point card things
|
| 18:42:49 |
Pooka | Well, since I wrote most of it myself, I should say that.
|
| 18:43:06 |
Pooka | Don't know much about the point cards since I don't go into Waterstone's too much.
|
| 18:43:53 |
David | Did you see the episode of TV Burp featuring Kelly Osbourne teaching Japanese children English?

David | Brother Mace came in earlier. He arrived with a nearly-empty bottle of Etruscan Brandy, which Caei snatched from him.
|
| 18:56:16 |
Billy | slaps Caei with a CSS album
|
| 18:56:19 |
Caei | ow hey! that was my last stomach =(
|
| 18:57:36 |
Billy | They're a band I saw live last weekend, I got their album for the hell of it for a fiver in London.
|
| 18:57:52 |
Pooka | Stand for anything?
|
| 18:58:53 |
Billy | Cansei de Ser Sexy, apparently.
|
| 18:59:17 |
David | Caei's So Sweet
|
| 18:59:39 |
David | Billy getting an album that's hell, Darren receiving a load of manga that's shit... why are people making themselves suffer? ;)
|

Billy | The summer sun must be messing with our heads.
|
| 19:02:14 |
David | http://www.knightmare.com/forum/index.php?board=1;action=display;threadid=2386 - has anyone else played it yet?
|
| 19:02:55 |
Billy | Not yet, is like the KM game someone made years ago?
|
| 19:03:47 |
David | If you mean DJ Oska's 2006 game... I don't know, as I haven't played that one.
|
| 19:05:35 |
David | Billy, I was rereading your Rick Astley filk recently (before posting my latest ones). It's very good. It works well.
|
| 19:06:41 |
Billy | Ty! I did it ages ago, pre any of the Rick Roll stuff, but it hung around on my hard drive for ages.
|
| 19:07:01 |
Pooka | I haven't got enough memory to download/play it. Might put it on my external HD and play it from that.

David | It's so rare these days for someone to post a link to Never Gonna Give You Up that isn't a Rickroll, so congratulations for that too. ;)
|
| 19:07:48 |
Pooka | DJ Oska's game is unfortunate, but loved.
|
| 19:07:52 |
Pooka | Also, hi kroc
|
| 19:08:00 |
David | Hello, kroc
|
| 19:08:03 |
kroc | Goodmorrow all
|
| 19:08:06 |
David | Unfortunate? How so?
|
| 19:08:12 |
Pooka | In that it's not very good.
|
| 19:08:23 |
Pooka | But he clearly put a lot of thought into it.
|
| 19:08:42 |
David | Yes, that came across in his posts about it. I downloaded it, but couldn't get it to work.
|
| 19:09:03 |
Pooka | OK, started downloading this new one by the Jackal. It'll take ages.
|
| 19:09:32 |
David | Days of the Jackal
|
| 19:09:48 |
Pooka | I prefer Day of the Tentacle :p
|
| 19:10:06 |
kroc | DotT for the win :)
|
| 19:10:26 |
kroc | "I feel like I could... like I could... like I could take on the world!"
|
| 19:10:59 |
Pooka | True! I mean, all the LucasArts adventure games are pretty good, in fact.
|

David | goes to the Chron-O-John

Billy | They're basically my childhood.
|
| 19:11:29 |
Billy | When I play Monkey Island on the ScummVM emulator, I sometimes change the sound to 'PC Speaker' just for that extra nostalgia.
|
| 19:12:03 |
Pooka | Which MI? ;)
|
| 19:12:10 |
Billy | The original, of course!
|
| 19:12:21 |
Pooka | 2 is bastard hard, but longer than 1
|
| 19:12:30 |
Pooka | 1 is slighty funnier though
|
| 19:12:31 |
Billy | I still think "Use gopher repellent on funny little man" is the best line ever.
|
| 19:12:41 |
Pooka | Especially when you can't see what you're doing.
|
| 19:14:37 |

Darren | manga is shit?

| 19:15:45 |

Mashibinbin | Hi Pooka

thanks | changed name to David

David | Mention of the word 'jackal' earlier reminded me of this: http://www.thatvideosite.com/video/232

Jobe | offers everybody to sample his delicious picnic complete with lashings of ginger beer.

Mashibinbin | prefers jackal to jackass which is pants
|
| 19:21:57 |
Mashibinbin | no thanks Neil
|
| 19:22:38 |
Mashibinbin | any see tonight's summer wine, sadly its getting further and further away from its glory days
|
| 19:22:50 |
kroc | prefers ginger-*ale*
|
| 19:23:07 |
kroc | exerts pedanticisim
|
| 19:23:15 |
Pooka | anticipates the Famous Five
|
| 19:23:20 |
David | Is Peter Sallis still in it?
|
| 19:23:21 |
Pooka | I didn't see it, alas
|
| 19:23:31 |
Pooka | Was is a new one?
|
| 19:23:53 |
Mashibinbin | He is indeed but largely restricted to studio scenes along with Frank Thornton as insurance costs are too high.
|
| 19:24:05 |
Mashibinbin | A new series started 3 weeks ago..
|
| 19:24:17 |
Billy | They didn't do the thing where they have everyone stand in front of a blue screen and pretend it's outside, did they?
|
| 19:24:22 |
Billy | Like Doctor Who circa 1973.
|
| 19:24:25 |
Pooka | Well, at least it's still being made, then...
|
| 19:24:25 |
Billy | Or, erm, Knightmare actuall.
|
| 19:24:39 |
Pooka | Yeah... but with KM it was all purple, so it was ok :p
|
| 19:25:07 |
David | throws Billy a divining rod, to compensate for his missing y
|
| 19:25:10 |
Mashibinbin | Mr Sallis is only one to have been in every episode, narrated the (infamous) audio stories and also First of the summer wine playing his established characters' dad.
|
| 19:25:27 |
Mashibinbin | Not as far as I'm aware Billy.
|
| 19:25:34 |
Pooka | Yty? New Doctor Who monster?
|
| 19:25:56 |
kroc | And where we Wallce & Gromit be without Mr. Sallis?
|
| 19:26:01 |
David | Y-T-Y. Philosophical sequal to Hi-De-Hi.
|
| 19:26:15 |
Pooka | Or mathematical, indeed.
|
| 19:26:45 |
Pooka | Wallace & Gromit just wouldn't be the same.
|
| 19:26:59 |
Pooka | There's a new W&G coming out this Christmas :)
|
| 19:27:12 |
Mashibinbin | I'd argue it could continue without him but summer wine couldn't.
|
| 19:27:34 |
kroc | I miss Foggy
|
| 19:27:50 |
Pooka | I dunno. Nobody can do his voice.
|
| 19:27:55 |
kroc | The new stereotypes are not as good
|
| 19:28:07 |
Billy | There's a new Wallace and Gromit? Like, a movie or a TV thing?
|
| 19:28:17 |
Pooka | Mind if I ask, what happened to Thora Hird's character? I know Compo died off-screen, but didn't hear what happened to her.
|
| 19:28:19 |
Mashibinbin | Cleggs still in it!
|
| 19:28:30 |
Pooka | A new TV movie, half an hour á la Close Shave.
|
| 19:28:41 |
kroc | Awesome-sauce
|
| 19:28:46 |
Mashibinbin | She's been reffered to semi frequently in the past tense.
|
| 19:29:24 |
Mashibinbin | And compo died on screen too in a 3 part story which was amongst roy clarkes' finest ever scripts.
|
| 19:29:33 |
kroc | All the show needs now is Su Pollard, and it's officially lost the plot.
|
| 19:29:38 |
Pooka | He died on-screen?
|
| 19:30:11 |
Mashibinbin | His character did yes.
|
| 19:30:59 |
Mashibinbin | Nora batty excited him with a 'saucy' dance (I kid thee not) and he went with a smile on face.
|
| 19:31:32 |
Pooka | This kind; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v462/Clappers/Stormtrooper.jpg
|
| 19:31:37 |
Pooka | er,,, ignore that
|

Pooka | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Matter_of_Loaf_and_Death - the link I meant to post
|
| 19:32:14 |
kroc | clipboard-pwn. That could have been worse though
|
| 19:33:23 |
Pooka | How did he die on-screen, when his actor died?
|
| 19:34:02 |
kroc | He left the show shortly before he died
|
| 19:34:13 |
Pooka | Oh, OK. I did not know that.
|
| 19:34:46 |
Mashibinbin | plus he'd completed 3 episodes and that wonderful milennium special
|
| 19:35:06 |
Pooka | Am I confusing him with somebody else, who died part-way through filming a series and his RL son played his son and joned the show?
|
| 19:35:35 |
Mashibinbin | possibly but Tom Owen did indeed do that
|
| 19:35:46 |
kroc | Bill Owen: "He continued working right up to his death from pancreatic cancer on 12th July 1999"
|
| 19:36:04 |
kroc | "His actor son, Tom Owen, was written into the series after his death. The storyline was that Compo knew he was terminally ill, but chose not to tell Truly and Clegg, instead writing to his son with whom he has lost contact. The son however does not make it in time to his father's funeral but remains in the area afterwards."

Caei | hey guys? More like gey huys, am I correct?
|
| 19:36:58 |
Pooka | You're not correct, Caei
|
| 19:37:10 |
Sue | no definately not.
|
| 19:37:24 |
Pooka | Definitely. ;)
|
| 19:37:29 |
kroc | Wow, didn't know that Brian Wilde (Barowclough in Porridge) died 20th March this year
|
| 19:37:43 |
Mashibinbin | He did indeed Kroc
|
| 19:37:49 |
Billy | Yeah they interviewed Peter Sallis on the news.
|
| 19:37:57 |
Pooka | Did he? Well, tbph he was getting on a bit too
|
| 19:38:28 |
Mashibinbin | you seem seriously out of sorts on all things summer wine tonight
|
| 19:38:39 |
LordF | Hello all new enterants
|
| 19:39:41 |
kroc | Scary to think all the great comedians we think of are mostly dead.
|
| 19:40:04 |
Pooka | Willie Rushton... Morecambe and Wise...
|
| 19:40:05 |
kroc | The world is greatly missing out on Benny-Hill, the great Ronny Barker
|
| 19:40:22 |
Pooka | Barry Took... Bob Monkhouse...
|
| 19:40:37 |
Mashibinbin | Ronnie Barker was by and large kep to this country but yes Benny Hill was huge worldwide
|
| 19:40:39 |
kroc | Of course, Bob Monkhouse!
|
| 19:41:55 |
Mashibinbin | there's so many gone now and so little to replace them in terms of quantity if not quality
|
| 19:41:56 |
kroc | And the lads from Dads Army
|
| 19:41:59 |
David | left the channel
|
| 19:42:36 |
Billy | I find it incredible that most of the Dad's Army cast died in a very short period and there's been hardly any deaths of the cast in the last 25 years.
|
| 19:42:36 |
kroc | I wasn't around in the 70's, but there's no shadow of a doubt that the comedians in that time were and still are far superior to anything on TV now.
|
| 19:43:01 |
David | entered the channel
|
| 19:43:05 |
kroc | Kenny Everett, another one
|
| 19:43:14 |
Billy | This is probably sacrelige but I find a lot of comedy from that age a bit outdated and twee.
|
| 19:43:23 |
Mashibinbin | truly great tv comedy started in 50s peaked a decade later middled out in 80s then declined 90s onwards
|
| 19:43:29 |
Mashibinbin | welcome back david
|
| 19:43:36 |
kroc | You have to look through the presentation. Who can best Ronnie Barker's word wit?
|
| 19:43:41 |
kroc | fork-handles!
|
| 19:44:53 |
Pooka | I dunno, was watching The Two Ronnies t'other day and didn't find a lot of it funny.
|
| 19:45:12 |
Billy | I'm like that with them and other shows of the time like Morecambe and Wise, I never got any of it.
|
| 19:45:17 |
Mashibinbin | These days most of my comedy enjoyment comes from a)animation b)nostalgia shows with contributions from former high profile greats c)drams with comedy edge eg kingdom and doc martin and d)likes of still game and peep show
|
| 19:45:46 |
Pooka | Satire is good too, HIGNFY is still funny and TV Burp.
|
| 19:45:52 |
Billy | I think it was because I was watching Paul Merton at age 5, Reeves and Mortimer at age 6, Harry Hill at age 9...when I finally did see the old stuff it seemed to lack something.
|
| 19:45:57 |
Mashibinbin | so the past comedy output features far higher in my preference
|
| 19:47:00 |
David | Whilst I tend to feel that the best music has already been written, I'd like to think that that isn't necessarily the case with comedy.
|
| 19:48:08 |
Mashibinbin | for me I was raised on likes of Steptoe, Dads Army, Carry ons etc and whilst a select few shows today are very funny its not got to reach that level again I feel
|
| 19:48:24 |
Pooka | Comedy is evolving, perhaps it's not the same but it has to keep moving.
|
| 19:48:53 |
Mashibinbin | At risk of nicking jon pertwees ethos comedians don't work so well in teams anymore, the last great efforts from the comedy store
|
| 19:49:10 |
kroc | Sitcom is lacking now, there's no daring and genius behind it. I'd take Open All Hours over some crap like "Hardware" any day.
|
| 19:49:13 |
Billy | I had an incredibly bizarre way of getting into comedy, my Dad was hugely into things like Dad's Army, but my Grandma got me into Shooting Stars...
|
| 19:49:23 |
Mashibinbin | HIGNFY has lost a lot of its way for me
|
| 19:49:45 |
kroc | Ah, shooting stars was a classic of 90's comedy, something that defined the favour and set it apart from the prior era.
|
| 19:49:55 |
kroc | Also the Reeves and Mortimer Show
|
| 19:50:14 |
Billy | I was disappointed when I bought the Big Night Out DVD and the episodes are edited to high heaven.

| 19:50:30 |
Mashibinbin | reeves and mortimer were a good double act that had their own style whilst respecting old
|
| 19:50:51 |
David | HIGNFY remains one of the best comedy half-an-hours on British TV, but it no longer has that unmissable feel for me.
|
| 19:51:23 |
kroc | I really liked their retake of Randal and Hopkirk: Deceased. Wish they'd reair that or bring it back
|
| 19:52:55 |
David | Caei, have you jumped the shark?
|
| 19:53:33 |
kroc | Speaking of which, what's a good, old, American sitcom?
|
| 19:54:15 |
Mashibinbin | HIGNFY needs to stop bringing in same guests/guest presenters and simply have angus back for a start, paul merton needs to be reigned in and stop overshadowing/playing to his teammate and the level of satire needs to take an increase to its 90s style instead of including so much popular culure references
|
| 19:54:49 |
Mashibinbin | bilko, frasier/cheers, addams family/munsters
|
| 19:55:12 |
kroc | Mahibinbin: Pretty much spot on. Merton is a twat who gets very old, quickly. He should be replaced by Alan Davies, who is slightly less a twat.
|
| 19:55:29 |
Pooka | Merton does need to be reigned in.
|
| 19:55:34 |
Pooka | Angus isn't coming back.
|
| 19:55:52 |
Pooka | Davies is committed to QI though.
|
| 19:56:38 |
David | Yep, use the reins to end Merton's reign. ;) I'd be delighted to see Angus return. If Paul Merton won't work with him, then, to be frank, sod him.
|
| 19:57:22 |
Pooka | We have had some excellent guest presenters - Alexander Armstrong springs to mind - but none of them are Angus. Nevertheless, Angus isn't coming back. End of.
|
| 19:57:41 |
Mashibinbin | paul mertons attitude on angus' last show went too far
|
| 19:57:45 |
kroc | Anne Widecombe was funny
|
| 19:58:00 |
David | Hey, we can dream if we want. :) Never say 'end of' to dreams. :P
|
| 19:58:18 |
David | As for US sitcoms, it's a shame that Kelsey Grammer's latest sitcom, Back To You, has been so poorly received.
|
| 19:59:05 |
Mashibinbin | armstrongs's just done it the most times so is therefore most 'capable' if you will but I've enjoyed bricies most, followed by william hague and boris johnsons and martin clunes had it spot on
|
| 19:59:12 |
Mashibinbin | the rest mediocre
|
| 19:59:38 |
Pooka | Bruce's was excellent, but a one-off. I liked the others you've mentioned, but they're showmen.
|
| 19:59:46 |
kroc | Boris Johnson would just get the rap for being the Mayor, as well as probably not having the time anymore.
|
| 20:00:04 |
Pooka | The show needs a straight man to read the autocue well and add a bit of light humour, which Xander does.
|
| 20:00:50 |
Pooka | However, if we didn't have the guest presenters then we wouldn't get those one-off extravaganzas like the Bruce one.
|
| 20:01:35 |
Mashibinbin | in the 'old days' it'd be 'ooh he/she hasn't been on for ages nice to see them back' but now the sale faces keep returning and have fair to none bite
|
| 20:01:49 |
David | Merlin to team: "Four of you? One of me? I make that Vim's o'clock!"
|
| 20:01:58 |
Mashibinbin | probably andy hamilton being exception that proves rule
|
| 20:02:06 |
Pooka | Yeah, maybe they need to get more unique presenters.
|
| 20:02:09 |
Pooka | I'll do it. ;)
|
| 20:03:05 |
kroc | brb, requires more tea.
|
| 20:03:29 |
Pooka | Charlotte Church's episode was funny, but for all the wrong reasons.
|
| 20:03:57 |
Sue | no.. just tea
|
| 20:04:12 |
David | 'kroc's tea' is an anagram of 'eats cork'.
|
| 20:05:30 |
Mashibinbin | and "sue's tea" is um... "sue's eat"
|
| 20:06:08 |
Sue | ugh how did you know... :'(
|
| 20:06:26 |
Pooka | Hang on... s2e2... Lillith didn't give them the name of the spell
|
| 20:06:26 |
LordF | I think I just keeled over a bit watching Top Gear
|
| 20:06:35 |
Mashibinbin | hungry?
|
| 20:06:49 |
Sue | no i just eat too much
|
| 20:06:59 |
LordF | Jeremy Clarkson just used his car horn and god was it funny
|
| 20:07:17 |
Mashibinbin | good to see you like clarkson's horn
|
| 20:07:41 |
LordF | raises his left hand up to his head, slaps against his eyes and holds it there as he sighs deeply thus doing the Picard Facepalm.
|
| 20:07:56 |
Mashibinbin | can't say it showed that much in lpool Sue, you were looking good :)
|
| 20:08:10 |
David | can't recall Picard ever facepalming
|
| 20:08:24 |
LordF | He did, I've got photographic evidence
|
| 20:08:57 |
LordF | http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/LordFear/picard-facepalm.jpg
|
| 20:09:45 |
Mashibinbin | he was capable of so many more subtle emotions so I'll happily forgo his facepalm as most memorable
|
| 20:10:17 |
David | Technically, it's his fingers that are on his face, not his palm... ;)
|
| 20:10:44 |
Pooka | Hmmm.... I need to watch that TNG I recorded the other day...
|
| 20:11:46 |
LordF | I've even got a little emoticon of the Picard facepalm
|
| 20:11:46 |
Mashibinbin | TNG/DS9 were certainly amongst my best buys in Shanghai ... just wish I'd been there to get the voyager sets too
|
| 20:12:15 |
LordF | http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/LordFear/picardicon-1.png
|
| 20:12:27 |
Billy | Ah, Star Trek videos, perennial of bootsales and charity shops everywhere.
|
| 20:12:31 |
Billy | Especially since the DVDs came out.
|
| 20:13:05 |
David | http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=13eDfrMgFQM - Picard clip that ends with a 'double face palm'
|
| 20:14:41 |
Pooka | I made a T-shirt to wear tomorrow.
|
| 20:14:57 |
Pooka | It says: "Caution, I know karate and many other oriental words."
|
| 20:16:18 |
Mashibinbin | still has the t-shirt sue made for RPG7 and it still fits well
|
| 20:16:23 |
Billy | Ooh what's that for?
|
| 20:16:58 |
Pooka | Japanese lesson, we were talking about it before you got here.
|
| 20:17:30 |
Billy | Kari and Oke.
|
| 20:17:39 |
kroc | I knew someone else would be thinking that
|
| 20:18:52 |
David | Oke would be a good name for a kestrel. (Orchestral.)
|
| 20:19:31 |
Pooka | Surely orc?
|
| 20:20:12 |
Mashibinbin | what about Garstan.. wait that's taken
|
| 20:20:42 |
David | gives Robin a g-string to compensate for the missing g ;)
|
| 20:20:43 |
Pooka | ...allegedly.
|
| 20:20:49 |
Jobe | And now its time for Jobe's YouTube Video of the week: *cue funky little ditty that sounds nothing like Harry Hill's. Honest*
|
| 20:21:21 |
Mashibinbin | ah lovely thankyou
|
| 20:21:21 |
Jobe | http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=M2AWKfMvDtw
|
| 20:21:39 |
Pooka | Turkey episode?
|
| 20:21:49 |
Mashibinbin | chucks it to ah mok to present to morgaine next time shes in
|
| 20:21:56 |
Mashibinbin | changed name to Ah_Mok
|
| 20:22:14 |
Billy | Is that the episode of Family Fortunes where Les Dennis is clawed to death by a rampage of runaway turkeys?
|
| 20:22:22 |
Ah_Mok | ah thank loo, she wear this with plide although many see and many sick
|
| 20:22:28 |
David | Its previous owner was rather hirsute, and liked Bach. So expect to find hair on the g-string.
|
| 20:22:31 |
Ah_Mok | changed name to Mashibinbin
|
| 20:23:02 |
Mashibinbin | well its soon to be owner will air her views on it soon enough
|
| 20:24:53 |
David | Plus, it's actually the g-string from a guitar, so it may be rather uncomfortable to wear.
|
| 20:25:33 |
Mashibinbin | ah mok will probably ask to play with her instrument anyway
|
| 20:25:55 |
Mashibinbin | and I don't think she's been the same since she tangled with that french horn
|
| 20:27:27 |
David | Cherchez la femme. (Ou la femme qui est vraiment un homme.)
|
| 20:27:37 |
Pooka | Quiet at the back, don't be dirty, and all others
|
| 20:28:29 |
Mashibinbin | Mais, si on la cherchent, est-ce qu'on est obligée de fair leur service?
|
| 20:30:55 |
David | Il faut dire bonjour aux 'jumelles' (Challenging my rusty French to the limit!)
|
| 20:31:24 |
Mashibinbin | Ah D'accord! :) (hehe)
|
| 20:35:39 |
Pooka | Right, in English, I'm now going to take a shower - but I'll leave this on so it can keep downloading that damn game. Back in a few!
|
| 20:35:44 |
Mashibinbin | il faut que j'aille me baigner maintantant - salut mes fréres et soeurs
|
| 20:35:46 |
Pooka | changed name to Pooka|Shower
|
| 20:35:55 |
Mashibinbin | disconnected
|
| 20:35:59 |
Caei | Bye Mashibinbin.
|
| 20:36:10 |
Jobe | slaps Caei around a bit with a large trout.
|
| 20:38:01 |
Jobe | Starting the trivia. Round of 1 questions. !strivia to stop. Total: 770
|
| 20:38:06 |
Jobe | 1. What Rick Astley song was number 1 in the UK Singles Chart on the day Knightmare started?
|
| 20:38:26 |
Jobe | Here's your 1st hint, the last character in the answer is: p
|
| 20:38:39 |
Jobe | Here's your 2nd hint, N__er _on__ _i_e You _p
|
| 20:38:42 |
David | Never Gonna Win The Cup
|
| 20:38:51 |
Jobe | Time's up! The answer was: Never Gonna Give You Up
|
| 20:38:51 |
Jobe | Stopping the trivia. !trivia to restart.
|
| 20:43:21 |
Alex | entered the channel
|
| 20:44:09 |
David | Have you ever read the Lexicon entry on 'greenhorn'? It pays tribute to you.
|
| 20:44:24 |
David | (If you're the Alex I think you are. ;) )
|
| 20:44:51 |
Alex | Hmm, lemme see ....
|
| 20:45:59 |
Alex | Haha, yes that's me. It took me a minute to figure it out though.
|
| 20:46:04 |
Caei | I'll just have to wait for the skin to grow back on my eyeballs.
|
| 20:48:05 |
David | Billy quotes it wholesale in some of his Beg Billy answers, so I didn't want to make it too unsubtle. ;)
|
| 20:49:04 |
Billy | Ooh hiya! Sorry I've been a bit quiet tonight, been busy audition-practising.
|
| 20:49:46 |
David | Ah yes, good luck for tomorrow.
|
| 20:51:25 |
Billy | Thanks, really hope I pass.
|
| 20:52:15 |
David | At least you're being allowed to audition in the first place, unlike the unfairness of last year.
|
| 20:54:03 |
Billy | That's true! It's always best to be too young rather than too old.
|
| 20:55:00 |
David | In this case, yes
|
| 20:56:54 |
Jobe | *floor creaking*
|
| 20:58:26 |
David | I noticed recently, for the first time, that Simon's sidestep death was filmed on a separate take.
|
| 20:58:47 |
kroc | Top Gear is available on iPlayer now http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00cq4w4
|
| 20:59:12 |
Alex | I think most of the falling deaths were, they had to come back the next day to film the bit where they throw their arms up in the air.
|
| 20:59:52 |
Alex | Except in series 3, where they just turned in cardboard.
|
| 21:00:18 |
David | Nathan's was too. There's food on the floor that disappears.
|
| 21:00:40 |
Billy | They should have just gone all-out slapstick, like the Road Runner cartoons.
|
| 21:01:02 |
Billy | Hovering in the air for a bit, looks down, jumps, holds up a sign saying "Help!" and then falls down with a comedy sound effect.
|
| 21:01:15 |
Alex | yeah I noticed that at the time. Actaully, have you seen the out take reel for series 8? You can see Nathan standing on a box being told by a producer what to do.
|
| 21:01:24 |
Alex | Now that would have been funny!
|
| 21:02:02 |
David | Or when they fall, they cry out, "Geronimoooooo!"
|
| 21:02:30 |
Alex | Oh said "oooh, poopie."
|
| 21:03:18 |
Alex | makes a mental note to proof read everything he types before hitting enter
|
| 21:04:43 |
David | Here's an image showing Simon before he was told to sidestep left, and after: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v132/aristophains/simon.jpg
|
| 21:05:09 |
David | Quite blatant when you stop to look at it.
|
| 21:05:10 |
Alex | The pending fall caused his shirt to turn pinkish
|
| 21:05:21 |
David | And to untuck itself on the left-hand side.
|
| 21:05:26 |
Alex | And his left arm to vanish.
|
| 21:05:40 |
David | And for his whole body to move slightly further away from the hole.
|
| 21:08:52 |
Alex | Well, it was good for it's time.
|
| 21:10:00 |
David | No wonder Pickle found it so funny. The humour/humiliation was drawn out over two takes!
|
| 21:12:26 |
Jobe | waves at nobody in particular
|
| 21:13:41 |
Pooka|Shower | Back.
|
| 21:13:47 |
Pooka|Shower | Gonna go play this game now.
|
| 21:13:50 |
Pooka|Shower | changed name to Pooka
|
| 21:13:56 |
David | Also, if Simon had entered the Block & Tackle where Helen did, quite a bit further to the right, then a sidestep in the wrong direction wouldn't have sent him down a hole.
|
| 21:14:14 |
Pooka | It was a very big sidestep...
|
| 21:14:43 |
Alex | I reckon the production team made him enter there deliberatly.
|
| 21:14:49 |
Alex | They knew what might happen.
|
| 21:15:21 |
David | Quite possible, yes.
|
| 21:15:39 |
Pooka | B&T was moved from L2 to L3 after a while.
|
| 21:15:52 |
David | Only for the last quest.
|
| 21:16:09 |
Pooka | It wasn't as tricky a puzzle as it was made out to be, however. Stay on the right and walk forward.
|
| 21:16:11 |
Alex | I reckon that was a filler, recorded after the rest.
|
| 21:16:22 |
Pooka | Except it had the panic factor.
|
| 21:17:01 |
David | B&T was complicated by the fact that not every dungeoneer had the same starting point, nor the same angel entry.
|
| 21:17:44 |
Alex | I just realised I haven't done the washing up from dinner yet.
|
| 21:19:26 |
David | You should've given it to Pooka earlier. He could have taken it into the shower with him.
|
| 21:21:10 |
Alex | That would have been handy
|
| 21:21:16 |
David | Save the water, save the world, as Future Hiro meant to say.
|
| 21:23:43 |
Alex | Changing the topic slightly, has anyone here seen Curb Your Enthusiasm?
|
| 21:24:04 |
David | Yes, but only one episode (the one with Ted Danson).
|
| 21:25:05 |
Alex | Back to the dishes then.
|
| 21:27:11 |
Pooka | This game...
|
| 21:27:17 |
Pooka | How do you get out of level 1?
|
| 21:27:27 |
Pooka | There's a wraith guarding the well.
|
| 21:28:58 |
Billy | Do you need a spell or something?
|
| 21:29:31 |
David | Spells can be very helpful...
|
| 21:30:22 |
kroc | Dagger for that one
|
|
