17:19:34 MyattGreetings all

17:45:34 DarrenAh hello

17:56:40 Darrenhow are you?

18:11:30 Myatthello anymore joining tonite?

18:31:16 Davidentered the channel

18:31:44 DavidHello

18:34:45 Mashibinbinentered the channel

18:35:09 Mashibinbinenters after a week's battle with endless white stuff everywhere

18:35:37 DavidWelcome. :)

18:36:04 MashibinbinThanks David, how's yourself?

18:36:56 DavidAlso weary of the struggle against Aesandre's magic

18:37:48 MashibinbinDropping her knickers all over the place it seems!

18:38:55 DavidOn the plus side, I've been on a Brookside nostalgia trip today

18:39:20 Mashibinbinanything revisited in particular? :)

18:40:03 DavidJust a general trip down Memory Close. :)

18:40:41 MashibinbinLast I heard the houses are now being sold for an estimate of 200k each.

18:41:25 DavidI did read on Wikipedia that Dean Sullivan had hopes of buying the houses

18:42:16 MashibinbinI think that was more when they a job lot and in a considerable state of disrepair.

18:43:32 DavidAs long as they've been freed from Hollyoaks' clutches. ;)

18:44:42 MashibinbinHehe

18:45:36 DavidWhen Matt tunes back in, I'll share my Brookside Fact Of The Day, as I think you will both appreciate it...

18:49:01 Mashibinbinlooks forward to that

18:53:25 Davidmay look to eBay to increase his stock of Brookside videos and books

18:54:50 Mashibinbinhow many of the vids do you have at present?

18:55:55 DavidOnly the between-episode specials

18:57:05 Mashibinbinwell the harry cross one I've got is an absolute joy so I'd make that a priority

18:58:00 MashibinbinI just wish the dvd releases had continued to at very least give us that top 100.

18:59:19 DavidIt's frustrating to think that they had both another drama and a hefty documentary ready for release, but have left them in limbo

18:59:58 morgainetodayentered the channel

19:00:16 DavidGreetings

19:00:38 morgainetodayhello

19:00:41 morgainetodayno

19:00:48 Mashibinbinbrooksideo!

19:00:51 morgainetodayheelp im being attacked

19:01:05 morgainetodayhep

19:01:31 Davidheard that it's been so cold lately that even Morgaine's been freezing her tits off

19:01:38 morgainetodaybunch of cunts

19:01:55 morgainetodayi mean buns

19:02:28 morgainetodaymorgaine got a t45h5at6 cold shes had to shout at the elextric company she swearing

19:02:34 Daviddidn't know they bunched. I have so much to learn

19:02:46 Mashibinbinwell they pleat rather nicely

19:03:27 morgainetodaylol

19:04:31 Mashibinbinany idea which episodes were availiable with 4 on demand - I expect the last one and the vid spinoff's you've got

19:05:25 DavidI've never checked. It's possible that they change the selection sometimes, but I doubt it

19:05:44 morgainetodaywhat ar u looking fopr then?

19:05:53 Mashibinbinside of Brook

19:06:28 DavidI was saying that I might look for some new (to me) Brookside videos on eBay

19:08:01 DavidRecently I was also struck by nostalgia for Birds Of A Feather

19:08:36 Mashibinbinamazingly still just only series 1 availiable

19:09:10 DavidYes, it's unbelievable that it's been denied a complete series release

19:09:24 MashibinbinI did get another marks/gran sitcom recently in borders closing sale tho: get back starring evil archie/gavins dad on said coupling with a certain stacey

19:10:10 MashibinbinI think there's a lot of music clearence issues but other than that there's no reason. I've 20 additional episodes from the video releases so that helps somewhat.

19:11:12 DavidI'd like to think a reunion special is possible one day too

19:13:45 Mashibinbinjust a matter of timing I expect but the 3 leads at least wouldn't be too hard to get availiable I reckon, when I saw dreamboats & petticoats over the summer the origanal Chris was in it as the male leads 'cool' dad and he played it rather well too

19:15:55 DavidThey brought him back for the final series, didn't they?

19:17:11 Mashibinbinyes, that's right so must have been no ill feeling I'd hope

19:18:32 Mashibinbina nice book with comprehensive episode guide would be could too if they simply can't release any more episodes

19:20:14 DavidIt would be welcomed

19:22:55 Davidwaves at Darren

19:23:00 Davidwaves at Matt

19:23:13 Mashibinbinbizarre brookside ebay item of the weeeeeeeek:

19:23:15 Mashibinbinhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Phil-Redmond-Retro-Pine-Circular-Kitchen-Dining-Table_W0QQitemZ110432344497QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Antiques_AntiqueFurniture_SM?hash=item19b647d9b1

19:24:20 DarrenHello!

19:24:36 DavidBlimey, that is bizarre

19:26:46 David'The table is in good condition for its age having minor wear adding to character and authenticity.' - i.e. damage makes it better ;)

19:28:27 Mashibinbinlol, can do in some cases

19:30:13 DavidWhat's needed from the seller, though, is proof that Phil Redmond owned the table.

19:30:35 Mashibinbinjizz sample deposoit in left corner? ;)

19:31:12 morgainetodaytheerws stuff from brookside to sell bliemy

19:31:53 DavidYou can secrete bodily fluid onto a table without being the owner...

19:33:34 Mashibinbinah, but only phil would have bing crosbys on there ;)

19:36:38 DavidHehe, I was remembering the time when they had a GMTV segment within Brookside: Lorraine Kelly was interviewing Bing's sister-in-law, and he stormed on set when he didn't like the questions.

19:37:06 Mashibinbin:)

19:37:56 DavidThen they cut back to Patricia and Jean watching it at home and laughing their heads off

19:38:21 Mashibinbinright, I'm off for a bit but I'll leave this window for when/if matticus returns for the fact of the day :)

19:38:57 David:) OK. If he doesn't resurface, I'll get it to you somehow

19:39:10 Mashibinbinok dokes

19:39:26 Mashibinbinchanged name to Mash_away

19:53:21 DavidAny other 80s favourites last night?

19:53:35 MyattI tried to take some public information film advice last night but it was no use!

19:53:44 Myatt:)

19:53:53 MyattOh yes, Stevie Winwoods higher Love

19:53:56 Caeiwhere's my moose

19:54:17 Myatt"Bring me a higher love, ba ba a

19:54:39 MyattAn unusual one for me to play

19:54:57 MyattI quite enjoy playing Salt n Peppers version of The Twist

19:55:34 Myattgoes well with Love Shack. It also goes well with Micky and the Ting Tings but the crowd don't like it

19:55:58 MyattTing Tings - That's not my name

19:56:37 DavidSteve Winwood, like Starship, has 'two big hits that everyone knows'

19:57:10 MyattVery spacial sounding songs

19:57:30 MyattI was only playing out of one speaker last night

19:57:50 DavidDue to crowd size?

19:57:55 MyattForgot to connect the power to the one on the bar! Very dumb for me, but I never noticed until I had a song with lots of stereo

19:58:30 MyattMade up for it with the new lighting effect though

19:58:47 Myattbought 2nd Jan

19:59:50 DavidUpdating the look

20:00:05 morgaineliveooh very sexy look

20:00:37 Myattyeah I'm really pleased with it. LED centrepiece

20:00:43 Myattcalled a Matrix

20:01:18 MyattIt creates similar effects to how thoese old light screens used to do in the 80s

20:01:29 Myattbut on the dancerfloor

20:02:37 DavidSounds like a step up from mood bars

20:02:52 MyattStill useing the trusting old things

20:02:57 Myattcirca Oct 05

20:03:23 MyattThen bought The Martin Scanners SCX600's in 07

20:04:02 Myattupgraded sound in that same year and in 08 I bought new cd deck and Hard drive deck

20:04:13 Myattand micer

20:04:15 Myattmixer

20:05:15 DavidDo you plan your upgrades well in advance, or do you sometimes do them on impulse?

20:06:04 MyattThe new light was pretty much on impulse although I had known about them and was thinking on them for some time. Most things like that I plan for and try to get the best bargain

20:07:15 MyattThe next upgrade would be new speaker stands however now I've moved there will be less need to invest in my own equipment as the light shows will be supplied for me.

20:07:37 DavidThat's useful

20:07:50 MyattFor places like the Hilton hotel in Surrey

20:09:04 DavidI told Robin that when you returned to Chat I'd share my Brookside Fact Of The Day for you both to enjoy. So here goes.

20:09:23 DavidIn its early years, Brookside featured a character called Alan Partridge.

20:11:27 MyattAh well

20:11:29 Myattwow

20:11:56 Myattyou must excuse me for a moment, I have spilt lager everywhere!

20:12:10 David:(

20:12:31 DavidBrookside Facts are powerful things...

20:23:20 MyattRight well that was Marvelous

20:23:59 MyattDidn't cause too much damage and it was heading in the more favoured direction

20:24:29 MyattIts one of those flute glasses I nudged and caught at the same time

20:26:21 DavidSometimes the irritation these incidents cause is far more than any damage

20:27:28 MyattYou're right, it went over papers, my phone, part of a speaker

20:28:31 Mash_awaychanged name to Mashibinbin

20:28:38 Davidwb

20:28:43 MashibinbinAHAH!

20:28:46 Mashibinbinthanks david

20:28:48 MyattAhhh Lyn

20:28:53 David:D

20:28:58 Caei;)

20:29:05 MyattRoger Moore Lyn:)

20:29:09 MashibinbinAh Lyn there you are!

20:29:20 MyattHe's at Chiswick roundabout

20:29:30 MashibinbinEyebrow on standby!

20:31:09 Mashibinbinyou spilling your frothy liquid all over the place again?

20:31:25 Myattfraid so Lyn!

20:31:27 DavidI remember Billy telling of a time when he spilt his Pepsi on a train... all over the man in a suit next to him. The guy was very forgiving, but as you can imagine, it took away Billy's bounce for a bit!

20:31:49 Myattah yes I remember that one well

20:32:15 Mashibinbinat least it wasn't the much missed vanilla coke supply he hoarded, he might have been licking it us rather than waste it

20:32:27 MyattI once spilled my coffee over a guy in Earls court, in a cafe area but I don't think he was amused. Silly unstable table though

20:32:44 Mashibinbinphil redmonds' table?

20:32:57 David:)

20:34:07 MyattThis was plastic

20:34:17 Myattbut what if it wasn';t plastic?!

20:34:36 DavidIt belongs with Yazz and her Plastic Population

20:34:36 Mashibinbinit'd be styrofoam lyn

20:35:12 Myattwould have been more prone to spilling then

20:35:36 MyattThere was also the be paid to eat a pizza episode

20:35:50 Mashibinbinhas plumped for an obscure number dvd tonight - apparently 'the young ones' with females saunders, french, tracey ullman and ruby wax

20:36:40 Mashibinbinjust under 7 in sales and 13 eps with a few 80s cameo from robbie coltrane, hugh laurie so thought was worth a gamble

20:37:47 Myattdefinetely

20:38:22 MyattI need to build on my Hugh Laurie and Rob Brydon collections, but one at a time:()

20:38:25 Myatt:)

20:38:40 Davidapproves

20:38:44 Mashibinbinyou could always have them together ;)

20:38:59 DavidMs. Ullman, who eventually left us for America, but also did bits and pieces in the pop world

20:39:13 MashibinbinHob Lydon anyone?

20:39:50 Mashibinbininterestingly whilst over there she continued on with characters started over here the Americans knew nothing about

20:40:02 Mashibinbinnotably the spoilt girl who divorces her parents

20:40:36 MyattHmm:)

20:41:12 MyattI've noticed Kat's backlyn!

20:41:34 Mashibinbinlooking lovelier than ever too

20:41:41 DavidHugh Laurie narrated an animation about Jack Frost over the festive period. He could have renamed himself Yule Hoary.

20:41:44 MyattVery tall

20:41:49 Mashibinbinlol

20:42:11 Mashibinbinwe like a bot of the tall deeley, know what I mean lyn

20:42:26 Myatthaha! Yule Hoary! really loud

20:43:53 MashibinbinClassic VOX!

20:44:04 Myatt:) Classic sex

20:44:24 DavidHehe - just listening to Tracy Ullman's version of Breakaway, and it features the line "I can't follow through"

20:44:27 MyattHow long do you reckon Lyn?

20:44:44 Mashibinbinabout 10 inches?

20:44:55 MyattI've got her TOTP performance on

20:45:19 Mashibinbinoh that's worthy of 11 at least

20:46:25 MyattShe's singing into a brush

20:47:07 MyattBog:)

20:47:13 Davidlol

20:47:51 MyattThe bogs talk to you at Alton Towers so I'm told

20:48:25 Myatt'Make sure you wipe your botty before fluyshing me' in a pirate accent

20:48:40 Mashibinbingives a whole new meaning to 'shit stirring' if they're conspiratorial

20:48:41 David"Well done for making it in here and not shitting yourself on the rides!"

20:49:03 Myatthaha!

20:49:36 Mashibinbinaaarreseee! it's international wipe like a pirate day jim lad....

20:49:44 David"I'm gonna do to your turd what Oblivion just did to you!"

20:50:10 MashibinbinNow we know why they called it Nemesis...

20:50:20 MyattWhen I swipe my .......... card at the barrier when leaving the park the Pirates voice said. Ohhhh -ahhhhhh thanks for visiting, don't forget to have a safe hournaey home. Hahaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr!

20:50:45 David"From one log flume to another..."

20:54:59 morgaineliveoh thatsa fiona trott isnt it?

20:55:08 DavidShe was on BBC News tonight

20:55:11 MyattThe park was promoting there new adventure Pirate section of the park so they had this Pirate's voice that cropped up in the most unusal places

20:55:16 morgaineliveshe keep poping up on the tv at the moment

20:55:29 Mashibinbinfionas got the trots more like!

20:55:49 Mashibinbinand if she's popping up I'm scared!

20:56:40 Myattwill anyone else be popping up?

20:56:51 morgainelivelool

20:56:56 Mashibinbingordon hasn't for some time I expect

20:56:59 morgainelivemaybe maybe

20:57:33 MyattI've got him on my phone

20:59:07 morgainelivewho?

20:59:36 MyattGorden, as a video

20:59:53 Mashibinbinerotic?

21:00:32 Mashibinbin'Gordon's got the horn master!'

21:00:52 MyattTrever's got the Horn

21:01:20 Mashibinbinburied under that patio I should imagine he was rather stiff

21:03:15 MyattStiffer than a shot of Kieran's finest

21:03:29 MyattWhiskey:)

21:04:23 DavidI wonder who Morgaine & Ah Mok might bury under a patio...

21:05:37 MyattSpecial sauce?

21:06:23 MyattA dungeoneer trying to find the password to level 1

21:07:30 DavidToo easy a target for the great ones. ;)

21:07:32 Mashibinbinsomeone morgaine once married and would be a threat to their version of happiness I expect

21:10:01 Mashibinbinhere's answer to my earlier pondering btw david: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/brookside/4od#2917630

21:10:22 DavidThe difference being (with no disrespect to the seriousness of the original storyline) that Morgaine would be unlikely to punish a man for beating her...

21:11:56 Mashibinbincreepy and vile as trev jordache was, I always found the character of his sister more sinister too

21:12:12 morgainelivemorgaine vget married ur joking ha ha no 1 would have her!

21:12:56 DavidYes! Brenna was one of my favourite characters, for her pure unadulterated witchery

21:13:40 DavidThanks for the 4od link. Predictable choices there, but a larger selection than I was expecting

21:13:49 Mashibinbinah mok would/has/intends to [delete as appropiate] 'have her' but would plan to marry at least for the big encrusted ring she would give him

21:13:58 morgainelivewas one of mine 2

21:15:37 Davidis trying to picture Morgaine in a wedding dress

21:15:57 DavidI may as well give up on getting a nightmare-free sleep right now. ;)
