01:25:39 Kully has left the room
19:48:47 Billy1987-1994 has joined the room
19:50:40 Kully has joined the room
19:50:44 Kully hello!
19:51:07 Kully brb - just going to get a drink :)
19:51:27 Billy1987-1994 Hi!
19:56:32 Malefact has joined the room
19:56:47 Malefact Evening all!
19:57:00 Billy1987-1994 Greetings Malefact!
19:57:21 Kully eloo!
19:57:25 Kully (I'm back)
19:57:34 Malefact Hi! Long time no see.
19:57:37 Billy1987-1994 Welcome back!
19:57:40 Kully (With apple juice)
19:57:47 Kully it is indeed along time :)
19:58:00 Billy1987-1994 I don't suppose any of you have heard of a band called 'The Darkness' have you?
19:58:06 Malefact I have.
19:58:08 Kully I'm going to wait until theres more people in here
19:58:10 Kully yes yes i have!
19:58:12 Malefact I'm rooting for Mad World to top the charts, though. :)
19:58:16 Kully lol
19:58:26 Billy1987-1994 Believe it or not, I didn't know they existed until a few days ago
19:58:31 Kully lol!
19:58:38 Malefact That's OK. Neither did my parents. ;)
19:58:41 Kully the lead singer is quite nice...
19:58:53 Malefact I wish he'd wear more clothes.
19:58:58 Kully i dont
19:59:18 Billy1987-1994 At the moment it's a close race between Christmas Time and Mad World, with the Idols probably at No.3 for Christmas No.1
19:59:34 Kully lol
19:59:50 Kully i reckon theyll fiddle it and get xmas time
19:59:53 Malefact Chart-topper non grata for the Idols? Oh, SHAME! :)
20:00:36 Billy1987-1994 Yes, I was worried that the British public would demonstrate a complete lack of originality and make them No.1
20:01:11 Malefact If Mad World goes all the way my faith in the record-buying public will be slightly redeemed.
20:01:14 Kully hey billyboy
20:02:05 Kully Billy
20:02:20 Billy1987-1994 Sorry, yes?
20:02:28 Kully you like role play don't you?
20:02:29 Billy1987-1994 (was elsewhere)
20:02:33 Billy1987-1994 I guess
20:02:34 Kully lol
20:02:56 Kully lol well I was wondering if you wanted to join a roleplay forum?
20:03:07 Billy1987-1994 Hmm, interesting idea
20:03:18 Billy1987-1994 What's the link?
20:03:19 Kully i have 2
20:03:27 Billy1987-1994 Oooooh
20:03:33 Billy1987-1994 (sorry, carry on)
20:03:36 Kully one's been goingfor a few months - thats this one
20:03:48 Kully http://kmbs.proboards12.com/index.cgi
20:04:20 Malefact I've been flexing my sci-fi pretentions on that one. :)
20:04:28 Kully and this one has been going for about two days but its picking up fast -
20:04:30 Kully http://surrounds.proboards20.com
20:04:56 Kully lol yes mally's input is very valuable to us
20:05:08 Malefact Thanks. :)
20:05:09 Billy1987-1994 Good grief, I can't believe I've only found out about these just now!
20:05:21 Malefact "Impenetrable" could be a better term, though. :D
20:05:28 Kully :P
20:05:29 Kully lol
20:05:47 Kully well, the 2nd one HAS only been around for a day or two
20:05:59 Malefact No excuse for the other one, though. :P
20:06:16 Kully true lol
20:06:19 Billy1987-1994 They look a little complicated, though
20:06:27 Kully not at all!
20:06:43 Kully its just a matter of pick a character and play along
20:06:56 Billy1987-1994 character, eh?
20:07:26 Kully yep - its can be yourself, the same character from the boardng school, a KM character or an originalcharacter :)
20:07:46 Billy1987-1994 Okies Dokies
20:08:16 Kessa has joined the room
20:08:22 Malefact Hi!
20:08:23 Kessa Hi-lo there.
20:08:46 Kully heyya!
20:08:52 Billy1987-1994 Greetings Kessa!
20:08:56 Kully are you interested in joining a role play forum?
20:09:16 *Malefact knew there was a reason for Kully's presence here tonight :)
20:09:24 Kully oh shush :P
20:09:27 Kully ill be here for chatting too
20:09:31 Davius has joined the room
20:09:37 Malefact Hi!
20:09:40 Kessa Hmm - not sure. If it's something I'd have to be involved in a lot, I couldn't.
20:09:44 Kully it would be nice to get some new members too there!
20:09:44 Davius hi everyone!
20:09:45 Kessa Hi-lo.
20:09:48 Kully no not at all
20:09:59 Kully malefact - you dont turn up too often do u?
20:10:02 Kully hey davius
20:10:18 Kully i think ill wait for more people since its spilling in here
20:10:32 Malefact I'm here every weekend.
20:10:34 Kessa Kully - you're Emii aren't you?
20:10:41 Billy1987-1994 Greetings Davius! (I think I need to practice my speed in greeting these people)
20:10:42 Kessa (just making sure)
20:11:19 Kully I am yes :)
20:11:52 Kessa OK. :)
20:11:56 Billy1987-1994 Good gracious...only 5 days until Christmas
20:12:15 Malefact I hate Christmas.
20:12:16 Kessa Bloody 'ell, and so much shopping to do.
20:13:20 Kessa Why?
20:13:53 Malefact I hate the obscene commercialism and religion and I just don't get on.
20:13:55 Kully lol
20:14:25 Malefact The very term 'Christmas' is a gaudily archaic, too - a contraction of "Christ's Mass" that has managed to keep it's old English pronounciation.
20:14:40 Drassil has joined the room
20:14:44 Malefact Hi!
20:14:45 Kessa Hi-lo.
20:14:49 Davius hi Drassil
20:14:51 Drassil Hi there
20:14:52 Kully lo drass
20:14:56 Billy1987-1994 Greetings Drassil!
20:15:02 Drassil Hi, and hi again
20:15:21 Drassil Not saying hello, Cypher?
20:15:29 Kessa Cypher's a bot.
20:15:37 Malefact Cypher just listens. :)
20:15:40 Drassil I know, I know ;)
20:16:04 Kessa It sits there and watches our every move, records everything we say so that it can use it against us.
20:16:20 Drassil I wrote a chatroom sketch recently as Cypher's Mother
20:16:22 *Malefact is friggin' boned, then :D
20:16:40 Billy1987-1994 And then forwards this information to government officials
20:16:56 Billy1987-1994 So you were Cypher's mother, Drassil?
20:17:04 Malefact Drassil: I think I remember reading that. :)
20:17:07 Kully :P
20:17:11 Drassil Not biologically
20:17:21 Kessa I remember that, just about.
20:17:32 Billy1987-1994 Wonder who Cypher's father was?
20:17:35 Drassil I was also The Tumbleweed Hunter a few weeks before
20:18:18 Drassil Cypher's father was surely a lumberjack...
20:18:28 Drassil ...Hence all the logging.
20:18:36 Billy1987-1994 *BOOM BOOM*
20:18:36 Kessa Oh, ha ha. :P
20:18:40 Malefact Har-har. :)
20:18:58 Billy1987-1994 Ok, it was me, I did it after seeing Drassil's stuff
20:19:46 Malefact brb
20:19:47 Kessa So Drassil and Billy .... you, erm ....
20:19:58 Drassil Only in your mind!
20:20:02 Drassil If at all!
20:20:33 Drassil I thought Cypher was an immaculate conception, anyway
20:20:38 Billy1987-1994 I suppose I should have added a '(getcha mind...)' at the end of that to avoid this misundertanding
20:20:41 Malefact back
20:20:45 Kessa WB.
20:20:47 Kully righto - shall i ask people something now?
20:20:49 Billy1987-1994 Welcome back!
20:20:53 Malefact Ta. :)
20:20:58 Kully i guarantee you someone else will join chat if i try and ask...
20:21:09 Malefact Ask away, then. :)
20:21:11 Billy1987-1994 Oooh, is it Hugo Myatt?
20:21:16 Kully lol :P
20:21:17 Kessa We could always use someone else in chat.
20:21:25 Kully does anyone in here want to join a role play forum?
20:21:26 Malefact Mind you, 6 people is a peak for this month so far. :S
20:21:45 Kully If I post the links here you can have a look and if you fancy joining in, please do!
20:22:11 Billy1987-1994 It's usually a low turnout around this time of year, I guess many people are with their loved ones.
20:22:26 Kully yeah
20:22:27 Kully :)
20:22:28 Malefact Rub it in, why don't you.
20:22:36 Kully anyways for those of you here
20:22:46 Kully this forum has been going for a few months now: http://kmbs.proboards12.com/index.cgi
20:22:47 Kessa Very attractive Pooka costume you've got there, Malefact.
20:22:54 Drassil Is that what they say to their loved ones, Malefact?
20:23:01 Malefact Sorry.
20:23:21 Kully and this one is just starting off : http://surrounds.proboards20.com
20:23:30 *Kessa has a look at the things
20:23:50 Drassil Yes, do join the forums, they're fun!
20:23:51 Billy1987-1994 This has got to be the most innuendo filled chat for ages
20:24:25 Drassil I did intend to wash my mind this morning but the hot water ran out
20:24:40 Drassil So it remains dirty
20:24:48 Malefact I never really notice innuendo unless I'm concentrating.
20:24:55 Kessa I've been with very dodgy people today, so ....
20:25:12 Drassil Innuendo - an odd but creative Queen album
20:25:21 Kully im all forummed up - no innuendo for me
20:25:35 Kully i wont even notice the stuff
20:25:53 Drassil 'Don't take offence at my innuendo'
20:26:11 Malefact A Night At The Opera is unsurpassed, though, imo.
20:26:19 Drassil I agree.
20:26:50 Drassil Except for Prophet's Song - far too rambling a track.
20:27:00 Malefact True. I tend to skip that one.
20:27:09 Malefact And now I know and now I know...
20:27:31 Malefact 39 is a very nice little song, imo.
20:27:46 Drassil I had that album's snazzy version of God Save The Queen played at my barmitzvah, instead of the traditional version.
20:28:19 Drassil 39 is a stand-out track.
20:28:26 Kully barmitzvah?
20:28:38 Drassil Yes, barmitzvah.
20:28:42 Malefact The Jewish coming-of-age rite.
20:28:56 Kully oooooh
20:28:58 Kully im ignorant
20:29:06 Malefact Yes. ;)
20:29:13 Kully heeeeey
20:29:20 Drassil A lot of 18-year-olds are. ;)
20:29:29 *Malefact now duly notes that Drassil is a cut above the rest ;)
20:29:33 Billy1987-1994 I might have to leave you all at about 9.25, the 2002 Only Fools and Horses special is on that I missed last year by falling asleep a few minutes in- not because it was boring, because it was late. Plus, I believe BBC1 and 2 will unveil their Christmas symbols at the same time
20:29:54 Malefact Well, that's as good a reason as any to leave us. :)
20:30:44 Drassil ACTION applauds
20:30:51 Drassil No, a mistake!
20:31:00 Billy1987-1994 Caught!
20:31:02 Drassil I was trying out some controls!
20:31:37 Drassil Can someone tell me how you do actions?
20:31:42 *Billy1987-1994 wonders whether the /action command does the same thing as the /me command
20:31:44 Malefact It is /me action
20:31:54 Drassil ACTION Tries it.
20:32:01 Drassil Thanks, Malefact!
20:32:07 Malefact np. :)
20:32:11 Drassil ACTION Thanks Malefact
20:32:17 *Malefact bows
20:32:18 Kully lol
20:32:21 Drassil See? I'm getting the hang of it.
20:32:40 Kully does anyone know of any role play chat rooms where i can spread myself?
20:33:01 Drassil ACTION Must correct Malefact for noting that Drassil is a cut above the rest
20:33:04 Malefact I believe some of the adult chat rooms indulge in a bit of role play. :)
20:33:22 Malefact Hehe. :)
20:33:26 *Billy1987-1994 remembers the !cyber play command
20:33:58 Drassil Is that the 'frightknight in your pocket' thing?
20:34:07 Billy1987-1994 Indeed. :S
20:34:12 Drassil I saw it in the logs
20:34:36 Kessa Aw, that was fun.
20:36:35 Drassil Malefact, are you still intending to lead the way in finishing the Interactive Story?
20:36:40 *Kessa is looking through Kully's forum and trying to make sense of it ....
20:36:45 Billy1987-1994 I suppose I could replicate it one day...but nah.
20:37:17 Malefact I am currently flicking through the original Km book to refresh my mind of the plot.
20:38:19 Drassil My favourite bit in the Dave Morris stories is the riddle contest between Treguard and Arawn in the 2nd book.
20:38:39 Malefact I don't have the 2nd book. :(
20:39:12 Billy1987-1994 Is that Labyrit..Labyryn...Labyrinths of Fear?
20:39:13 Drassil Keep an eye on eBay, then.
20:39:18 Drassil Yep
20:39:28 Billy1987-1994 Yeah, that's great
20:39:45 Drassil It has the best of the gamebooks, as well
20:39:51 *Kully assumes her forums are crap
20:40:07 Drassil Kully assumes wrong..ly
20:40:13 Malefact If they were crap I wouldn't have chosen to participate in one.
20:40:25 Drassil Nor would dozens of others.
20:41:33 Drassil It is better than the Roman Forum, in that it has fewer American tourists. ;)
20:41:57 Chris has joined the room
20:42:02 Malefact Hi!
20:42:03 Chris hi everyone
20:42:05 Billy1987-1994 Greetings Chris!
20:42:07 Davius hi Chris
20:42:08 Drassil Hi
20:42:11 Chris cheers
20:42:17 Kessa Hi-lo.
20:42:31 Kully hey chris!
20:42:35 Kully wanna join a role play forum?
20:42:49 Kessa Kully - the forums aren't crap, looks quite interesting actually. :)
20:42:52 Chris what does it involve?
20:42:55 Kully role play
20:42:58 Kully :D
20:43:01 Kully Knightmare role play
20:43:03 Chris cool
20:43:08 Kully http://surrounds.proboards20.com
20:43:14 Kully this one has just started up
20:43:18 Kully annnnnd
20:43:25 Kully has someone got the address for the other one?
20:43:31 Kully iv lost it :S
20:43:37 Drassil http://kmbs.proboards12.com
20:43:43 Kully thankies!
20:43:44 Drassil (From memory!)
20:44:27 Kully it might be proboards20
20:44:51 Kully nope u were right
20:44:52 Kessa No, it's proboards12.
20:44:53 Kully its : http://kmbs.proboards12.com/index.cgi
20:46:09 Billy1987-1994 The final scene of the 1999 Eastenders Christmas Special is ridiculous- snow in the East End of London on Christmas Day?
20:46:36 Kessa It's TV, it doesn't have to make sense.
20:46:44 Billy1987-1994 Guess so
20:46:50 Kessa It's also Eastenders, which is crap.
20:47:06 Drassil Albert Square, of course, is not proper East End - it's in Elstree.
20:47:17 Billy1987-1994 I know, I know
20:47:26 Drassil They filmed Michelle Fowler's graduation ceremony in my school hall.
20:48:27 Drassil Has anyone ever the single that Wendy Richard (Pauline Fowler) duetted on in the 60s?
20:48:33 Drassil *ever heard
20:48:44 Drassil It's called 'Come Outside'
20:49:37 Billy1987-1994 The BBC Schools programme with Pippin?
20:50:34 Drassil I don't know about that
20:51:05 Kully plegh
20:51:31 Billy1987-1994 Did the song contain the line 'Look up, look down, look all around'?
20:52:01 Drassil No; it's about a man trying to get a woman out the back for a bit of hanky-panky.
20:52:35 Billy1987-1994 I see. No, then, I haven't heard it
20:53:17 Kully men suck
20:53:41 Billy1987-1994 Now let's not start a war, start a nuclear war
20:53:47 Drassil Only if the waitress gives them a straw.
20:54:07 Drassil Ooh, that rhymes!
20:54:10 Billy1987-1994 Boy, you're really on form tonight
20:54:37 Drassil As long as I don't give birth to any more logbots
20:54:46 Kully oh dear
20:55:06 Billy1987-1994 I'll make sure you don't
20:55:48 Drassil ACTION should type a bit less rubbish
20:57:07 Kully grrrr I need members :(
20:57:10 *Kully cries
20:57:22 Drassil ACTION avoids an innuendo
20:58:23 Drassil Surely it is quality, not quantity of forum members, that counts?
20:58:48 Drassil No good having 50 people sign up if 30 don't post
20:59:18 Drassil ACTION sings 'When Elves Cry'
21:00:23 Thanatos has joined the room
21:00:26 Thanatos Greetings, all.
21:00:30 Drassil Hello
21:00:31 Malefact Hi!
21:00:35 Billy1987-1994 Three men walk into a bar and...greetings Thanatos!
21:00:48 Davius hi Thanatos
21:01:34 Kessa Hi-lo.
21:01:36 Kully hey thanatos
21:01:50 Kully well the thing is, i know there are some people out there who woul;d be great at RP
21:01:57 Kully I've seen them at it in the Km forum
21:02:09 Drassil Like Skarkill?
21:02:12 Thanatos By "RP" do you mean role-playing or the accent?
21:02:13 Kully but they arent interested in the actual RP forums!
21:02:23 Kully role playing
21:02:28 Kully and yes, like skarkill :)
21:02:31 Kully and there are others too
21:02:46 Billy1987-1994 Well, you know what they say, Life is like a box of chocolates- there's always another layer underneath.
21:03:52 Kully oOo
21:03:59 Billy1987-1994 Alternatively, life is also like a box of chocolates because after a while it goes stale
21:04:00 Kully who's merikia?
21:04:13 Kully it doesnt go stale it goes white and powdery
21:04:21 Billy1987-1994 Guess so
21:04:24 Billy1987-1994 Ignore me
21:04:29 Kully lol
21:04:34 Drassil Ignore who?
21:04:40 Kully me
21:04:49 Billy1987-1994 No, I'm me and you're you
21:04:52 Thanatos "Whom", not "who", Drassil.
21:04:55 Kully but ignore me
21:05:01 Billy1987-1994 and me
21:05:07 Kully not you
21:05:08 Kessa I'm Merikia.
21:05:09 Kully you
21:05:10 Drassil Thanks, Thanatos.
21:05:17 Kessa It's another of my aliases.
21:05:18 Kully hello merikia :)
21:05:31 Kully goodo - hope you have fun!
21:05:36 Kessa I'm just doing the application.
21:05:42 Billy1987-1994 I'm the evil dark overlord of the Quarn, please to meet you
21:06:03 Drassil Thanatos, have you ever read 'A Handful Of Dust' by Evelyn Waugh?
21:06:43 Thanatos No, I've never read any Waugh.
21:06:46 Thanatos Why?
21:06:59 Drassil The reason I ask is that it features a character called Amy Thanatogenos
21:07:11 Drassil An American pet mortician
21:07:49 Thanatos "Thanatogenos" sounds as if it's formed from the Greek for "death of a race/tribe/people".
21:08:12 Drassil Or 'gives birth to death'.
21:08:45 Thanatos Indeed.
21:08:52 Drassil Are you a Classicist?
21:08:56 Thanatos Yes.
21:09:03 Drassil Good.
21:09:16 Drassil I am a Classics postgraduate.
21:09:23 Billy1987-1994 Mind your language
21:09:24 Thanatos !
21:09:35 Malefact Well, get you. :)
21:09:56 Billy1987-1994 Anyway, carry on
21:10:09 Drassil Up the Tiber?
21:10:28 Billy1987-1994 At your convienence
21:10:31 Thanatos Boom-boom.
21:11:14 Thanatos futue te et equum in quo intrans vectum es. :-)
21:12:16 Malefact Il est tres important que je sois dans la cuisine parce que Ich habe Hunger. :P
21:12:50 Thanatos Er...it is very important that I know in the kitchen because I am hungry?
21:13:00 Billy1987-1994 Uo Yhtiw Eergai.
21:13:03 Drassil sois, not sais
21:13:23 Thanatos I dropped French after GCSE and I've forgotten half of it.
21:13:47 Drassil I'm sure knowing Latin helped you with it, though
21:13:52 Malefact Sois is the first person present subjunctive form of etre. :P
21:14:09 Thanatos It's helped me more with English, to be honest. Then again, I dropped that after GSCE too.
21:14:12 Malefact It is very important that I be in the kitchen because I'm hungry. :)
21:14:40 Kully RAAH RAAH RAAH!
21:14:42 Thanatos Is "sois" subjunctive?
21:14:48 Kully did I scare you all?
21:14:53 Thanatos Only slightly.
21:14:56 Malefact yup :(
21:15:03 Kully aww im sorry
21:15:07 Drassil ACTION quails
21:15:14 Malefact Yes, sois is 1st-person present subjunctive of etre.
21:15:43 Thanatos We never did the subjunctive, though some pretentious git looked it up and stuck one into the prepared answers for his oral exam.
21:16:01 Kessa Whee! I posted. :)
21:16:10 *Kessa will BRB - need a fag
21:16:14 Drassil The third person is 'soit', and its Latin equivalent is 'sit'
21:16:45 Drassil 'Nos summus' goes from Latin into French as 'nous sommes'.
21:16:46 Davius well, i have to be on my way now... i'll see you all next time!
21:16:47 Billy1987-1994 Thanatos, je suis humilié par votre grand journal des pommes de terre et d'autres articles de nourriture..
21:16:52 Malefact Sim, I believe, is the Latin equivalent.
21:16:53 Thanatos By the end of Year Nine Latin we'd done five tenses in both indicative and subjunctive, active and passive. In French we'd done four tenses, indicative active only.
21:17:12 Drassil What Latin textbook did you use?
21:17:15 Thanatos He meant "sit" is the equivalent of "soit".
21:17:24 Malefact I know.
21:17:35 Malefact I meant that Sim is the Latin equivalent of sois.
21:17:39 Thanatos "Ecce Romani", I'm sorry to say. Also, in Year 10, "The Millionaire's Dinner Party".
21:17:58 Drassil 'The Millionaire's...'?
21:18:09 Drassil Trimalchio?
21:18:14 Thanatos Yep.
21:18:24 Davius i probably wont be here tomorrow, so i'll wish you all a merry christmas now. see you all next week!
21:18:30 Thanatos All adapted and simplified, apart from the last chapter which wa original Petronius.
21:18:31 Billy1987-1994 Bye for now!
21:18:33 Drassil Very rude in the original Petronius version.
21:18:34 Malefact Bye!
21:18:37 Thanatos Farewell, Davius.
21:18:42 Davius bye!
21:18:45 Drassil Bye, Davius
21:18:47 Davius has left the room
21:18:48 Kully byeee
21:19:31 Billy1987-1994 I gotta go too, gotta lotta watta OFAH. And remember, Je suis humilié par votre grand journal des pommes de terre et d'autres articles de nourriture. (Translation- Thank you for the excellent chat night so far which I have throughly enjoyed.)
21:19:42 Malefact Bye! :)
21:19:50 Drassil Bye, Billy
21:19:52 Thanatos Er, a slight mistranslation, I think.
21:20:17 Billy1987-1994 has left the room
21:20:25 Thanatos "I am humiliated by your big magazine of potatos and other articles of nutrition."?
21:20:28 *Kully rolls over
21:20:35 Malefact I am grateful for the big book of potatoes and articles of food.
21:20:40 Malefact Yeah, that'll do. :)
21:20:52 Thanatos Brekekekex, koax koax.
21:20:59 Kully pudding?
21:21:12 Thanatos That, apparently, is the sound of an ancient Greek frog.
21:21:15 Drassil 'Children of the limpid lake, sing with us til echoes break...'
21:21:25 *Kessa is back.
21:21:34 Kully ding dong merrily on...something....
21:21:36 Thanatos Welcome back, then.
21:21:37 *Kully wanders off
21:21:40 Drassil An Underworld frog-swan, according to Aristophanes.
21:22:18 Drassil ACTION wants to talk to Kully about Peter Pan
21:22:50 Kully oOo
21:22:52 Kully PP!
21:23:18 *Kully wanders back
21:23:39 Drassil ACTION likes 2nd chapter of Kully's fanfic, awaits third, fourth, fifth...
21:24:01 Drassil PP has got my sympathy.
21:24:22 *Kully offers the address of a PP&P chat room
21:24:23 Kully http://pub34.ezboard.com/bthepiratescove
21:24:55 Drassil Was the original book called, 'Peter Pan and the Pirates'?
21:25:08 Kully nope
21:25:13 Kully it was originally a play
21:25:19 Kully then put into book form
21:25:34 Kully the first book was called Peter in Kensington Gardens
21:25:44 Thanatos "Peter Pan and the Pirates" was a TV cartoon.
21:25:53 Kully though there might have been one before that called The LIttle White Bird
21:26:29 Kully that was also PP - he was supposed to have been a bird befor ehe became a little boy, but he thought he could still fly and flew out of his cot
21:26:56 Kully then there was the book which PP&P was based on which is called Peter and Wendy
21:27:55 Drassil When you say Jake has 'a thick London accent', do you mean Cockney?
21:29:09 Kully could be anything you like
21:29:13 Kully i dont meananything by it
21:29:25 Kully thats why i like writing - the reader can interpret it as they like
21:29:38 Kully lol i live with a cockney, so it may well be
21:30:01 Kully but the impression i get is of some shit Dick Van Dyke type londoner
21:30:09 Drassil lol
21:30:12 Malefact :)
21:30:29 Kully that makes e laugh everytime i see mary poppins
21:30:47 Kully mally - do you read my fics at all?
21:30:48 Malefact I'd know that siyyoette anywhere! :D
21:31:01 Kully lol the faces he makes too!
21:31:16 Kully really strained like he has a lead weight in one side of his mouth
21:31:21 Malefact Not as much as I'd like. :S
21:31:27 Kully lol
21:31:52 Thanatos Drassil, what are the Latin for "chamber", "secret" and "goblet"?
21:32:12 Malefact Can we guess what's coming, Mr Potter? :)
21:32:37 Kully I'm worried - I've just taken a look at my shelf and realised I have three copies of Peter pan - one is five times the size of the other two - and one copy of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens
21:32:48 Thanatos Well, they've released the first one in Latin, after all.
21:32:50 Drassil I don't know, off the top off my head.
21:32:54 Drassil True
21:32:55 Kully lol
21:33:06 Drassil I think 'goblet', actually, is 'poculum'.
21:33:17 Kully bumulum
21:33:23 Kully is that a word?
21:33:27 Drassil And chamber could be 'cubiculum'
21:33:29 Kully sounds amusing
21:33:37 Drassil It is amusing. :)
21:33:38 Malefact Anything with letters is word, I guess.
21:33:40 Thanatos Number three would be "Harrius Potter Captivusque Azkabanis"; number five, "Harrius Potter Ordoque Phoenicis" (I think).
21:34:03 Drassil But, like Consignia, bumulum isn't a genuine Latin word.
21:34:04 *Kessa hides from all the Latin-ness :\
21:34:18 Drassil Sorry, Kessa.
21:34:20 Malefact What use is Latin, though?
21:34:21 Thanatos That makes four "Harrius Potter Poculumque Ignis."
21:34:22 Kully Harrius Potterus andus theus chambericus ofus secretius
21:34:24 Kully there you go
21:34:35 Kully all you have to do is put us or ius on the end
21:34:51 Malefact Or an -a or -um. :)
21:35:03 Drassil Latin helps you understand the workings of other languages.
21:35:13 Kully lol id never get ltin
21:35:15 Kully it would kill me
21:35:20 Kully *latin
21:35:22 Kully hmmmm
21:35:26 Kessa I did Latin for four years at school. I never saw the point of that.
21:35:28 Kully i get a sudden urge to play a game
21:35:30 Thanatos It's of little direct use, Malefact, but neither is any other non-vocational academic discipline. It's as useful, valuable and enriching as any other arts discipline, be it history, geography, English or Anglo-Saxon.
21:35:43 Drassil I have to concede that it is useless in some ways.
21:35:51 Drassil But I have enjoyed studying it.
21:36:02 Kully can we play a game?
21:36:12 Thanatos Latin wouldn't kill you, Kully. It's no harder than any other subject (and probably easier than French). Greek, on the other hand...
21:36:20 Thanatos What sort of game? Word association?
21:36:21 Drassil Without Latin epics, there would be no Middle-Earth, no Hogwarts...
21:36:26 Kully nuh uh
21:36:33 Kessa What game?
21:36:35 Kully the other oldies in here will no what i wanna play :D
21:36:43 Drassil JK Rowling did a Classics degree and has made millions from it.
21:36:54 Kully *know
21:37:00 Thanatos Did she?
21:37:04 Malefact If it's Truth Or Dare, I'm out the door.
21:37:11 Thanatos Me too.
21:37:12 *Kully gets out a big sheet of papaer and a marker pen
21:37:15 Drassil Classics and French at Exeter.
21:37:19 Thanatos Boris Johnson is an Oxford classicist.
21:37:22 *Kully scribbles
21:37:30 Drassil And quite mad.
21:37:43 Thanatos He's also an old Etonian.
21:37:45 *Kully holds up a big sign saying "I WANNA PLAY TRUTH OR DARE!"
21:37:50 Malefact "I don't think Sir Humphrey understands much about economics - he did read Classics, after all" :)
21:38:00 Malefact Truth Or Dare ruined my life. No.
21:38:06 Kully no it didnt
21:38:14 Malefact Yes it did.
21:38:17 Kully not my truth or dare, anyway
21:38:24 Thanatos "But what about Sir Frank at the Treasury?" "Yes, well, he's at an even greater disadvantage in understanding economics: he's an economist."
21:38:35 Malefact Hehe, funny programme. :)
21:38:42 Kully u always played truth or dare with me, mally!
21:38:47 *Kully sulks
21:39:02 Drassil ACTION suggests Lie or Dare
21:39:06 Malefact I didn't know what kind of damage it would do.
21:39:18 Thanatos How about "Lie or recoil in cowardice"?
21:39:19 Kully what happened?
21:39:22 Kully or dont you want to tell u?
21:39:30 Kully *us
21:39:31 Malefact I may as well - I've said it before...
21:39:54 Malefact It made me realise how I've wasted my life and how I'm a rather miserable excuse for a shite on stilts.
21:40:04 Kully :(
21:40:14 Drassil What, this chatroom did?
21:40:28 Malefact That's what happened.
21:40:34 Drassil That's a terrible shame
21:40:39 Kully how?
21:40:43 Kully and it cant be true!
21:40:54 Kully you arent a miserable excuse for anything!
21:41:14 Thanatos Those who doubt the value of Classics should read Appendices Two and Three to Peter Jones's "An Intelligent Person's Guide to Classics" (get it from a library and the appendices won't take you very long to read).
21:41:24 Malefact You only have to read my blog to get some idea of how unhinged I am. :S
21:41:37 Drassil I emailed Peter Jones - he's a great man.
21:41:45 Kully *pauses*
21:41:48 Drassil Do you read his column on spectator.co.uk?
21:41:52 Kully Let's play truth or dare!
21:42:10 Malefact Why not? The damage is done.
21:42:13 Kully and no1 is allowed to take it seriously!
21:42:21 Malefact Too late for that.
21:42:30 Drassil I'm sure your recording is worthwhile, Malefact.
21:42:47 Drassil No one here would turn down the chance to listen to it.
21:42:52 Malefact My answers in advance are "no" "I've never done that" and "I'm too inexperienced to say".
21:43:00 Kully lol
21:43:02 Malefact Thanks for that. :)
21:43:06 Thanatos I was given a few weeks' subscription to the Spectator and read all his columns in there.
21:43:14 Kully shall i start?
21:43:51 Malefact Why not?
21:43:59 Kully I piiiiiick....
21:44:00 Kessa K.
21:44:02 *Kully thinks
21:44:20 Kully Kessa!
21:44:25 Kessa Yessa?
21:44:35 Drassil :)
21:44:43 Kully Kessa - what's the most embarrassing thing you've done in the past six months?
21:45:00 Malefact Ask a question - no holds barred. There's no way I can give any juicy answers.
21:45:10 Kessa Hold that thought while I take my medication.
21:46:08 Kully lol
21:46:25 Kessa Back.
21:46:36 Kully oh good - thought u'd done a runner
21:46:53 Kessa Are there any decency laws here? :P
21:46:59 Kully not really :P
21:47:01 Malefact You'd have stolen my idea on doing a runner. :)
21:47:05 Kully you say what you wanna say
21:47:17 Malefact If I did that I'd be banned. :D
21:48:57 Kully Kessaaaaaa....are you edging towards the door?
21:49:21 Kessa Possibly the time I was caught, ahem, underneath my now ex-boyfriend on a sofa by my 13-year-old sister and her friends.
21:49:39 Malefact We've all been there. :S
21:49:46 Kessa "underneath" as in, like, we were naked and fucking.
21:49:54 Drassil :O
21:50:03 Malefact How nice.
21:50:36 Kessa Didn't hear the end of "Pooka, can I shave your arse?" for months on end.
21:50:38 Kessa :P
21:50:49 Kully geeer!
21:50:57 Kessa You asked.
21:51:02 Kully lol
21:51:04 Kully okies

21:51:11 Drassil ACTION reminds everyone that this is being logged

21:52:04 Kessa Anyway, I pick ................................................
21:53:02 Drassil ACTION investigates a full-stop shortage
21:53:13 Kully :D
21:53:36 *Kessa lols at Drassil while thinking - note chronic indecision syndrome
21:55:12 Malefact Get on with it.
21:55:27 *Kully slaps mally for being impatient
21:55:46 Kessa I'm gonna pick you for that, Mally.
21:56:17 Chris has left the room
21:56:22 Malefact OK.
21:56:44 Kully bye chris :S
21:56:51 Malefact My question is...
21:57:23 Malefact What's the most miserable you've ever been and why? :D
21:57:28 Kully come on, Kess-bum
21:57:31 Kully hey!
21:57:39 Kully Kess-bum is supposed ot ask the question!
21:57:43 Kessa I don't know if this is a crap question, but - what is it that pit you against truth or dare?
21:58:08 Malefact Oh, I think the "u f*cked?" bit was probably the clincher.
21:58:28 Kully huh?
21:58:34 Kessa Bleh?
21:59:27 Malefact You asked me what pit me against t/d. That was my answer.
21:59:51 Drassil ACTION tries to send his cat the message 'ignore me' via telepathy, and succeeds.
21:59:52 Kully ok then mals - you pick someone
22:00:04 Malefact I can't think of a question.
22:00:34 Kully well, just ask if theyv ever owned a pet plan called bob

22:02:57 Drassil There have been very few tumbleweeds.
22:03:08 Malefact I'll pit my question against everyone and select one author to carry on.
22:03:19 Malefact What's the most miserable you've ever been and why?
22:03:40 Thanatos has left the room
22:03:46 Malefact I retract that question.
22:03:50 Malefact New question:

22:09:11 Kully and then when they answer they pick someone else and give them a question

22:16:52 Kessa Kully. In games of truth or dare, what's the funniest dare you've done / seen someone do?
22:17:33 Grinch Act out the corresponding truth, I'd imagine. :D
22:17:59 Kully My friend froze an ice cube to his testicles once. he ripped it off and had to go to hospital - that was quite amusing. For us, I mean. Not him.
22:18:08 Kessa LOL!

22:22:46 Grinch (first used in a brothel)
22:22:53 Kully "Is that a deep fat fryer?"
22:22:59 Kessa A guy at college I know, his line is, "Hey ladies, wanna play with my [insert random object here]?"
22:23:08 Lucky13 LOL
22:23:30 Grinch "Earwax"

22:25:59 Drassil 'Hello, goblins, would you like a present?'
22:26:14 Kully "Would you like to put it in your knapsack?"
22:26:18 Kessa "Do you like pie?"

22:27:12 Kieran has joined the room
22:27:14 Lucky13 Spell casting "G-S-P-O-T"
22:27:17 Grinch Hi!
22:27:19 Kully who wants to play Toss the Elf Twig?
22:27:21 Kessa Hi-lo Kieran.
22:27:27 Kully hey K!
22:27:29 Drassil Hello
22:27:32 Grinch It sounds filthy to me.
22:27:37 Kully its not!
22:27:40 Kieran Hello
22:27:46 Kessa Hehe. Toss.
22:27:48 *Kully gets out a shiny shiny silver twig
22:28:03 Kully I throw it at someone and they catch it and throw it at someone else
22:28:06 Kessa We were just playing truth or dare, though apparently now we're playing toss the elf twig.
22:28:21 Kully other people can fight for the twig, try and catch it before other people and steal the twig
22:28:23 Grinch Well, it's progress.
22:28:33 Kieran I am very happy to hear that, really I am....
22:28:39 *Kully throws the twig at Kessa
22:28:41 Kully catch!
22:28:51 Lucky13 Night Night People have fun! See you next week!
22:28:57 Kully okies nanite!
22:28:59 Grinch Bye!
22:29:01 Drassil Bye
22:29:03 *Kessa grabs it (just about) and chucks it at Kieran
22:29:08 Lucky13 has left the room
22:29:10 Kessa Bye!
22:29:30 KM_Fan so... what do you guys (and gals) usualy talk about right now?
22:29:44 Kully tossing!
22:29:52 Kully .me runs at Kessa to steal the twig
22:29:54 Kessa LOL
22:29:56 Kully oops
22:29:58 Kieran I don't know, someone just threw a stick at me so you know, anything cna happen here.
22:30:03 Kully gah!
22:30:07 Kully Kieran has the twig!
22:30:12 *Kully runs after Kieran
22:30:19 Grinch I sometimes spam the joint with obscene poetry. :)
22:30:30 *Kieran stands and stares
22:30:37 *Kully jumps on Kieran
22:30:40 Kessa BRB, need a fag.
22:30:56 *Kully wrestles the twig off Kieran andf runs away giggling
22:31:22 *Kieran still stands and stares
22:31:28 Kully oh.
22:31:46 *Kully flings the twig at KM_Fan
22:32:13 Drassil ACTION tries to catch en route, but fails
22:32:15 *KM_Fan is scared
22:32:29 *Kully watches as the twig hits KM_Fan int he eye
22:32:31 *KM_Fan hurls it back to kully
22:32:43 Kully i got it! I got it!
22:32:55 *Grinch catches the stick en route and eats it
22:33:02 Drassil ACTION quails and ducks (and pigeons)
22:33:04 *Kully runs round in circles
22:33:13 Kully I lost the twig! I lost the twig!
22:33:26 *Kieran starts a camp fire
22:33:30 *Kully does the heimlich manoeuvre on Malefact
22:33:43 *Kully nicks the twig when he burps it up
22:33:45 Grinch http://mfile.akamai.com/6560/wm2/muze.download.akamai.com/2890/us/uswm2/877/398877_1_01.asx?obj=v11116
22:33:47 *KM_Fan collects the twig when it comes out the other end of Grinch
22:34:04 Grinch Malefact ain't here. :)
22:34:06 *Grinch hides
22:34:12 Kully oh shush
22:34:22 Grinch I killed him.
22:34:29 Kully i think you guys are sick of my games
22:34:32 Kully ill go now
22:34:35 Kully nite nite
22:34:37 Kully byee
22:34:40 Grinch Bye!
22:34:42 KM_Fan night
22:34:44 Drassil Bye
22:34:46 Grinch Don't have to go.
22:34:48 Kessaway 'that is how the grinch stole malfact'
22:34:50 Kessaway bye
22:34:53 Kully has left the room
22:35:00 Kessaway *malefact - hard to type with one hand sorry
22:35:23 Drassil Hard to type with two sometimes!
22:35:26 Grinch I wrapped my hands around his throat, the sum of all the rage and hate, and squeezed what little life remained out of his pathetic carcass.
22:35:49 Drassil Moby Dick?
22:35:59 Grinch Some of it.
22:36:08 Drassil As quoted by Picard?
22:36:17 Grinch Hehe, yes. :)
22:36:27 Grinch I've never read the book. I'm a philistine.
22:36:58 Drassil Spotted a shop on the Simpsons called 'Call Me Del-Ishmael'.
22:37:01 KM_Fan so anyway...
22:37:11 Kieran I see the fun never ends in here these days...
22:37:14 Grinch Hehe. :)
22:37:32 Grinch There's an episode of South Park called 'Jewbilee'. :)
22:37:41 Kessa I've never been in KMC with Kully before - turned out I'd been missing things. :P
22:37:54 Grinch Indeed.
22:38:02 Drassil It's that the episode about the.. er...
22:38:04 *Kieran raises an ayebrow
22:38:14 Kieran erm...eyebrow..
22:38:25 Drassil *Is
22:38:36 Kessa .... got a hold upon us?
22:38:47 Kessa No wait, scratch that. Ugh ugh ugh.,
22:38:59 Drassil ACTION scratches head
22:39:01 Grinch ?
22:39:43 Kessa So anyway, where were we?
22:39:51 Grinch No idea.
22:40:09 Kieran We were being confused.
22:41:26 Kieran I hope tonights 'truth or dare' was cleaner than usual...
22:41:35 Grinch Not really.
22:41:41 Kessa Well, there was the occasional off-answer.
22:41:57 Kieran Occasional? Better than usual then.
22:42:04 Grinch brb
22:42:11 Kessa But I asked Kully and she said there were no decency laws. :P
22:42:26 Grinch Too bloomin' right.
22:42:28 Grinch brb
22:42:38 KM_Fan you have afunny way of playing truth or dare
22:43:07 KM_Fan Does billy ever come in her eon a saturday?
22:43:15 Kessa Yeh, he was here earlier.
22:43:20 Kieran He tends to be here.
22:43:28 Drassil His name is on the list.
22:43:39 Kessa He went to watch TV, and now he's just come online again, so he might be back.
22:43:57 KM_Fan b to the I to the double l y
22:44:00 KM_Fan lol
22:44:22 Kieran Decency seems to leave peoples minds when t&d is played
22:44:40 Grinch Or else the lack of decency becomes apparant.
22:44:59 Kieran Especially when in here, as long as it is fine by all people present.
22:45:08 Kessa I've only played it here twice, so I wouldn't know much about it. But I'm not a particularly decent person anyway.
22:46:05 Drassil 'Well, time for me to be hittin' the old dusty trail.' Thanks, everyone. Bye for now.
22:46:11 Grinch Bye!
22:46:14 Kessa Night.
22:46:16 KM_Fan night
22:46:19 Kieran Cheereo.
22:46:26 Drassil has left the room
22:46:43 *Grinch considers spamming the joint with a lyric
22:47:49 Grinch Which one would you like? 'Quiet Man' or 'Everything Ends In The End'?
22:48:16 Kieran How about....One Man's Ceiling Is Another Mans Floor?
22:48:40 Kieran Or...Everything Put Together Falls Apart?
22:48:58 Grinch Hehe, all of them are very apt.
22:49:00 Kieran Or...Never Get Old?
22:49:12 KM_Fan Right I am going now I might be in tomorrow
22:49:20 Grinch That's off Bowie's new album, isn't it?
22:49:23 Grinch Bye!
22:49:25 Grinch Hope so.
22:49:27 Kessa Bye.
22:49:30 Kieran Reality,. yes.
22:49:33 KM_Fan :) night
22:49:35 KM_Fan has left the room
22:49:38 Kieran Cheereo.
22:49:41 Grinch I've got into Bowie recently.
22:49:43 Kessa And then there were three.
22:49:47 Grinch Scary Monsters is my current favourite album.
22:49:54 Grinch "She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind"
22:50:01 Kieran Scary Monsters is....it just IS.
22:50:16 Grinch Robert Fripp's guitar is on top form on that album.
22:50:38 Kieran Am enjoying a live DVD of Reality atm, and slding Low into the stereo frequently.
22:50:43 Grinch Paul Simon link - Robert Fripp is the leader of King Crimson, of which Tony Levin has been a member.
22:51:12 Grinch I haven't heard Low yet but that's next on my list.
22:51:27 Grinch "It's got nothing to do with you if one can grasp it"
22:51:35 Kieran oh yes...Paul Simons new album 'American Tunes' is out in January, forgetting any possible problems.
22:51:38 *Grinch hums Ashes To Ashes
22:52:07 Grinch Oh, right. I'm not sure about that title, though - it sounds like a romp through his past without much new.
22:52:44 Kieran It has, apparently, 3 old songs re-done plus Father And Daughter from 'Wild Thornberries' or whatever it was called.
22:52:54 Kieran Rest is 100% new material.
22:53:09 Grinch1 has joined the room
22:53:12 Grinch1 Stupid BT.
22:53:23 Kieran It has, apparently, 3 old songs re-done plus Father And Daughter from 'Wild Thornberries' or whatever it was called.
22:53:25 Kieran Rest is 100% new material.
22:53:39 Grinch1 Ah, I see.
22:53:45 Grinch1 Thanks for that.
22:54:01 Kieran But there again that could easily change knowing Paul
22:54:38 Grinch1 Hmm, I'm wondering if there's going to be a style clash.
22:55:00 Kieran Then expect an S&G live CD/DVD/VHS out around April, a new Art solo in around October and a new S&G album in 2005.
22:55:14 Grinch has left the room
22:55:16 Grinch1 Father And Daughter (I think that's the Thornberries song) is in his earlier style but I think you said he gave the worldbeat treatment to the remakes.
22:55:25 Grinch1 A new S+G album?!
22:55:40 Kieran I doubt it, having heard the 'revamps' of the old songs, they will fit right in.
22:55:59 Grinch That's good.
22:56:02 Kieran Yes, seems likely they wish to make a new album.
22:56:10 Grinch Let's hope they finish this one. :S
22:56:28 Kieran So do I, another H&B and that will be it.
22:56:31 Grinch More than that, let's hope it can hold a candle next to their original stuff.
22:56:44 Kieran I think it can.
22:57:04 Kieran And if you were wondering, Arts next album will not have Monlock of Sharp included.
22:57:13 Kieran or*
22:57:21 Grinch It won't? That's disappointing.
22:57:32 Grinch Mind you, it makes their recent album more special.
22:57:42 Kieran I know, but apparently all 3 have decided a second album is a while away, if it will happen at all.
22:58:05 Grinch Is Art still writing or he is going to take a backward step and go back to just singing songs?
22:58:21 Kieran Don't forget Sharp is a bit younger than Monlock/Garfunkel, so she kinda wants to be able to take hold of her own career.
22:58:35 Grinch True.
22:58:55 Kieran It would appear Art is up for writing more songs, w/ Jimmy Webb doing the honours on a few others.
22:59:16 Grinch So a sort of forward and backward thing, then.
22:59:38 Kieran Well Art didn't write every song on EWTBN, and merely co-wrote the others
22:59:54 Kieran So imo to do a few full songs on his own is only going forward
22:59:57 Grinch Indeed - I believe he co-wrote five.
23:00:18 Grinch Writing an entire (good) song on his own will certainly be a step forward.
23:00:37 Grinch If he can take his writing to the S+G album, that would be marvellous.
23:00:40 Kieran Then expect about half an albums worth of his own material mixed w/ Webb.
23:01:17 Kieran Would have to change his working ways w/ Paul to do that, and don't forget Paul has't copied anyone elses material for a very veyr long time
23:01:39 Grinch It would most likely do them both good, then.
23:02:01 Kieran ie about 40years since he did 'Time They Are A-Changing' from Bob Dylan.
23:02:11 Kieran s*
23:02:27 Grinch Indeed, among others.
23:02:34 Kieran And I guess Bariallen, if you count that as a Sounds of Silence outtake.
23:02:46 Kieran Barbriallen
23:02:50 Kieran *
23:03:50 Kieran Which Art re-recorded in '72 (Barbara Allen), and Feuilles-O (which again Art re-recorded and named it Feuiles-Oh, Do Spacemen Pass Dead Sould On Their Way To The Moon?)
23:03:59 Kieran Souls*
23:04:11 Grinch I see.
23:04:23 Grinch I believe that second one he wanted on Bridge.
23:04:28 Kieran Which was in fact an outtake from Bridge.
23:04:34 Kieran Indeed
23:04:40 Grinch Ah, right.
23:04:45 Kieran Although w/out the Spacemen bit!
23:04:55 Grinch Hehe.
23:04:57 Kieran Which was written by Arts first wife, in fact.
23:05:07 Kieran Linda Grossman.
23:05:24 Grinch Didn't know that.
23:05:51 Grinch I've experimenting with my songwriting style in preparation of my next album, btw.
23:06:11 Kieran Super.
23:06:16 Grinch I'm still only halfway through recording my first one (and mighty troublesome the ruddy thing is proving, too) but I've got big ideas for the second one.
23:06:30 Grinch I thought I'd try your approach - lyrics first.
23:06:47 Kieran Good stuff, as I said I already have about 2 albums worth of material I could record
23:06:53 Kieran Ah right.
23:07:32 Grinch Mixed results - the lyrics had a lot of potential but the music was a bit of a let-down compared to my music-first songs.
23:07:44 Kieran It will be, I guess
23:07:55 Kieran Generally it takes a lot longer ti find the right music
23:08:09 Grinch Indeed.
23:08:11 Kieran But there again, I find the lyrics to be far better, so it doesnt hurt to take longer sometimes.
23:08:47 Grinch Again, though, I'm a philistine so the music is the most important.
23:08:59 Kieran I have had to cool down using the guitar lately, my hands have been majorly bad
23:09:11 Grinch Sorry to hear that. :(
23:09:22 Kieran I have the feeling that if I ever do a studio album, it wont be me on guitar
23:09:54 Grinch I've had huge problems with a recording I'm trying to do...
23:10:04 Kieran what woes?
23:10:29 Grinch The song is a waltz with a very nice classical-style chord progression that is played on keyboard using piano.
23:10:45 Grinch Sticking exactly to the beat is a bitch.
23:10:57 Kieran ah i see
23:11:11 Grinch On playback I can hear slight deviations and it's very frustrating.
23:11:27 Kieran well, a si said, time makes perfection
23:11:46 Grinch I guess it just proves my limitations as a musician/hack.
23:11:58 Kieran It took PS about 5 years to complete Rhythm of the Saints, so really a few months is nothing
23:12:32 Grinch I'd rather not take that long - I'm sick of the ruddy thing already. :)
23:12:50 Kieran I would take a long time to do something to get it right, if I had to
23:13:03 Kieran American Tunes has already taken 3 years to write.
23:13:20 Grinch Three tracks are complete, two are provisionally complete (i.e. I might junk them and start again) and another five are waiting assembly.
23:13:29 Grinch My voice, also, is at best adequate.
23:13:49 Grinch The number of takes I need to get a vocal right is ridiculous - and even then it's merely acceptable.
23:14:08 Kieran I see.
23:14:12 Grinch I sometimes wonder if I'm exceeding my reach.
23:14:27 Kieran Well, I am happiest w/ my voice over anything else, ie writing, tunes etc
23:15:02 Kieran just a damn shame my guitar days might be over
23:15:24 Grinch A medical breakthrough may be just around the corner.
23:15:49 Kieran hmm, hope so, am losing mobility in fingers, so string picking is getting harder every day
23:16:10 Grinch I only strum.
23:16:20 Grinch I only occasionally finger-pick.
23:16:28 Kieran But my voice is fine, at my theatre the other day they said it had never sounded so clear, and I have to agree w/ them as I felt far more at ease with the hard vocals of Bridge.
23:17:01 Grinch The quiet start and the loud, held note at the end?
23:17:08 Kieran Yup
23:17:35 Grinch Almost all the vocals on my album are quiet - that's probably why I'm having trouble.
23:17:56 Kieran I prefer a bit more range
23:18:19 Kieran I find quiet...I don't know, just doesnt reach the generally ununsed chords for me
23:18:59 Grinch I have trouble finding and maintaining the correct note when I sing quietly.
23:19:26 Kieran I'm OK w/ that, but I feel I sound far better when higher...Just depends HOW quiet you mean.
23:20:03 Grinch Quiet, like Art in the first few lines of Bridge.
23:20:08 Kieran AH I see.
23:20:26 Kieran Have to have a very warmed up voice for that
23:20:43 Grinch Hmm, I do almost no warm-up when recording. :S
23:20:45 Kieran Art said that was the hardest verse
23:20:57 Grinch You mentioned it took a lot of takes to get it right.
23:21:06 Kieran Around 60
23:21:21 Grinch I think my 'record' is around 30.
23:21:35 Kieran in that time even the lyrics of the song changed in that time.
23:22:05 Grinch Hehe, perhaps they were changed to help Art sing them.
23:22:18 Kieran Nope :-)
23:23:02 Kieran They were in fact made far harder, as I have an alternate version of the lyrics
23:23:09 Kieran and indeed the song
23:23:13 Grinch Hmm, interesting.
23:23:22 Grinch Ah, I think you showed me that before.
23:23:30 Kieran I did indeed.
23:24:41 Kieran Demo version is on the extended release of Bridge, along w/ the original Feuilles-O
23:24:55 Grinch Ah, yes.
23:25:13 Grinch Did they manage to get anything usable from the master tapes for this latest issue?
23:26:06 Kieran The latest issue of Bridge holds those two extra songs and enhanced original songs
23:26:36 Kieran Although Sounds of Silence holds more extras
23:27:04 Kieran 'Blues Run the Game', 'Barbriallen', 'Roving Gambler' and 'Rose of Aberdeen'
23:28:17 Grinch I'm toying with the idea of doing a cover.
23:28:25 Kieran Of what?
23:28:45 Grinch If I Needed Someone, by George Harrison and a Moody Blues song called Candle Of Life.
23:28:55 Kieran Ah, I know it
23:29:05 Grinch Which one?
23:29:19 Kieran Covers arent necessarily a bad thing if you do it correctly
23:29:24 Kieran beg pardon, *them
23:29:35 Grinch You know Candle Of Life?
23:29:40 Kieran Yes
23:29:45 Grinch Good man. :)
23:30:13 Kieran indeed!
23:30:16 Grinch Both those songs are right up my street. If I can construct a sound for my next album then I will apply it to them.
23:30:20 Kieran I have thought of doing a few covers myself
23:30:45 Grinch What of?
23:31:02 Kieran A few songs that have taken my fancy
23:31:09 Kieran Waterloo Sunset being one of them
23:31:22 Grinch The Kinks did that, didn't they?
23:31:34 Kieran I do enjoy doing Bridge but would never do a cover, not after HearSay ruined it in their attempt
23:31:52 Grinch Indeed. :S
23:31:55 Kieran Not sure, but I heard Bowies version a few days ago
23:32:27 *Grinch hums Pablo Picasso
23:32:29 Kieran Also some rather less known Art solo tunes like 'Finally Found A Reason' and 'Take Me Away'
23:32:35 *Kieran grins
23:32:42 Grinch Both on Fate For Breakfast, I believe.
23:32:48 Kieran Correct
23:32:56 Grinch (I've heard a sample of that one - nice hook)
23:33:00 Grinch Damn, I have to go. :(
23:33:05 Kieran Have also always wnated to do his rather larger hits
23:33:10 Kieran tis
23:33:13 Kieran ah
23:33:22 Grinch You're better off doing an obscurity.
23:33:29 Grinch Sorry - I'll be online tomorrow.
23:33:41 Grinch Take care. Bye for now!
23:33:44 Kieran I reckon All I Know would be safe to do, as it is not as well known
23:33:48 Kieran Ok then
23:33:51 Kieran Catch you then
23:33:54 Kessa has left the room
23:33:59 Grinch That was still a US top ten hit.
23:34:02 Grinch Gah, must be off.
23:34:05 Grinch has left the room
23:34:16 Kieran has left the room
