[07:40] neutral [07:40] Emma: I dunno if that's gramatically correct and you know how important that is [07:40] but if you need a solid vote [07:40] cut [07:40] hard to chose *gah* [07:40] replace the first "!" with "-" ? [07:40] it would be gramatrically correct [07:40] <**EofS**> It's a matter of aesthetics really.

The one after has been hastily cut together this week [07:49] ah must have been this one [07:49] it had carol and everyone saying hed be so missed [07:49] * Whitestar8472 eats watermelon [07:49] Yum [07:49] <**EofS**> (Apparently they took over a huge number of edit suites, leaving the other programmes scrapping for the few left. Sounds like it's been manic over there) [07:49] my dad = having a senior moment [07:49] They must be really cut up about it [07:49] <**EofS**> We'll be giving them a RING back later [07:50] <**EofS**> Michelle - believe me, they are [07:50] :( [07:50] not that C4 programmes in general suffer lol [07:50] <**EofS**> Channel 4 don't make it [07:50] poor biog brother in the cold *drips sarcasm* [07:50] <**EofS**> All they do is show it [07:50] ooooooooooo [07:50] <**EofS**> (Channel 4 don't make any programmes at all) [07:50] <**EofS**> >>>No, no...you were supposed to do all that without RIPPING your shirt!<<< [07:50] oops [07:51] cut [07:51] <**EofS**> Cut [07:51] <**EofS**> Harry T Potter? ;0) [07:51] augh [07:51] oh yea [07:51] keep [07:51] lol!

[07:52] <**EofS**> That's definitely the concensus around here Petra [07:52] * Whitestar8472 offers pieces of watermelon [07:52] did we skip a line or did I not see it because of all the blablabla about whatever it is I can't follow that is eh...quack...*sigh* *votes* [07:52] cut [07:52] yeah i was watching the show and couldnt help but try to smile at the memories [07:52] <**EofS**> Well that was hardly a RIPPING yarn [07:52] That line got RIPPED to shreds [07:52] ;) [07:53] <**EofS**> >>>Next task?

But that doesn't make a difference [07:55] yeah cos its tsill itv yorkiemeep [07:55] er shire [07:55] <**EofS**> He presented Calendar for 27 years, Countdown for only 23. His loss has been felt just as painfully [07:55] (Petra, your meep is showing :P ;) ) [07:55] *blush* [07:55] he presented Countdown for *23 years"?! [07:55] Wow [07:55] <**EofS**> Well I've waited and waited, but they STILL don't think it's funny [07:56] <**EofS**> He presented it before Channel 4 even existed [07:56] did calendar/countdown have a cross over period wher ethey both filmed at the same point in time/years?

[07:57] that will save like um, 3 dogs from the pound! [07:57] wow! [07:57] well, that's great :D [07:57] <**EofS**> He's known as "twice nightly Whiteley" because he used to appear on your screens twice a night, on Countdown and then Calendar (if you were in teh Calendar region ;0) [07:57] 25 euro each to get out of it [07:58] <**EofS**> This one's been dead a long time, the body isn't even WARM [07:58] well, every little helps, y'know?

[08:02] no, it's his potter that's hairy [08:02] ...whatever that means [08:02] lol [08:02] he has a hairy head then [08:02] and not a hairy chin [08:02] <**EofS**> One script to rule them all [08:03] heh! [08:03] does he have a Big Chin though? [08:03] <**EofS**> I still like "must be a glitch in the matrix" for that comp :0( [08:03] <**EofS**> Now judging PITS [08:03] <**EofS**> (I hope someone's logging by teh way) [08:03] <**EofS**> >>>I'm going to the BATHROOM to make sure I'm still a guy!<<< [08:04] E, I *always* log [08:04] keep [08:04] even when I'm not actually here [08:04] cut [08:04] <**EofS**> Keep [08:04] oh no, it's a ghost! :-O [08:04] lol [08:04] :-P [08:04] keep [08:04] (I don't know how reliable my logging is) [08:04] keep [08:04] cut [08:04] cut [08:04] <**EofS**> "In the middle of the night it feels alright, but then tomorrow morning, ooooo-oooh" [08:05] Dhraak, I think E was wanting someone who's here in order that the log can then be sent - if you're not around to retrieve and send it, it's not too helpful [08:05] (let's put it this way, even in #gentoo on freenode, I logged... hundreds and hundreds of megabytes of text.... and I rarely even looked at that tab) [08:05] meow [08:05] Miguel, a /msg will usually do [08:06] <**EofS**> Ben - no, I just need a log to physically exist somewhere in the universe for balance to be restored [08:06] oh joy [08:06] mumsy wants to 'try out' Aldi [08:06] lol.... so Lidl isnt enough, she has to do 2 [08:06] well, I *think* chatzilla is logging things here, but I'd have to see where and how they're stored here then. [08:06] <**EofS**> It's impossible to be funny with the word BATHROOM, but it's been kept regardless! [08:06] Dhraak - will bear that in mind, thanks :) [08:06] Emma - thrrp. [08:07] <**EofS**> Does she like German supermarkets or something? [08:07] * Dhraakellian gets his commandline tools cut off by his client but still manages to throw the session into /dev/null, thus bringing balance to the log [08:07] im gong to the bog to check im still male... yreash [08:07] erm... um... I mean... [08:07] sounds odd [08:07] lol [08:07] she liks cheap bills lol [08:07] who doesn't? [08:07] <**EofS**> >>>I'm leaving before I start to BLEED from the ears!<<< [08:07] cut [08:07] keep [08:07] cut [08:07] cut [08:07] note - if the Pits was still in newspapers, I wouldn't have included 'bathroom' in the finalists but it's just for my website so I'm more lax [08:07] keep [08:07] Haven't tried either of those (for the simple reason they're not easy to get to. Mind you, this IS Milton Keynes we're talking about... :P ;) ) [08:07] its kinda funny 'my heart bleeds' but not quite fitting [08:07] <**EofS**> Hmm... I've never been in an Aldi or a Lidl (despite living close to one of the latter for 4 months in Finland ;0) [08:08] cut [08:08] <**EofS**> But are they as teenytiny as genuine German supermarkets? [08:08] i like their noodles [08:08] keep [08:08] and they have nice salami [08:08] these aare huge and spacey [08:08] wide aisles [08:08] mmm, noodles [08:08] <**EofS**> Why on earth not John? [08:08] lidl's "bierworst", mmmm :-P [08:08] bratwursssssssssssst [08:09] ...beer... sausage? *shudders* [08:09] sausaged beer? ;) [08:09] lol [08:09] yes, that's what it says...but it's actually really good. [08:09] Now I know they do Guinness chocolate bars in Dublin airport but... eep *shudders* [08:09] <**EofS**> But then I suppose if "bloody" isn't even acceptable... [08:09] Emma: it's just a little risque for newspapers, editors get nervous about that kind of stuff [08:09] that must be one of the worst beers around! *runs* [08:09] hey i agree [08:09] <**EofS**> Michelle - never seen a steak and ale pie, or beer-battered fish? [08:09] yes, same as 'bloody' although in that case, I thought 'bloody' added nothing to the punchline [08:09] and easy to get out of package when needed a quick something to put on bread or our "biscuits" aka "beschuit". :-) [08:10] <**EofS**> John - but even *five year olds* know it's their dingle that makes them a boy not a girl [08:10] I've seen the former but not the latter [08:10] Haven't tried either though ;) [08:10] beschuit = biscuit?!?!?! [08:10] i must have looked funny feeding the dog [08:10] aaaaanyway [08:10] its in a sausage shape - the eat that is - so i cut a hole and squeaze i out [08:10] teehee dingle [08:10] * Whitestar8472 has meep! [08:11] hehehehe, Petra! [08:11] * Dhraakellian goes to read other comics while waiting [08:11] my neighbour called it a didgerydoo [08:11] <**EofS**> That punchline atrophied, due to a lack of BLOOD to the funny [08:11] <**EofS**> The dingle is in a sausage shape, yes. Or so I'm told [08:11] poor son was mmortified 'did you hurt your didgerydoo? did you clean your didgerydoo/.?' [08:12] <**EofS**> >>>I need a testosterone BREAK.<<< [08:12] <**EofS**> Keep [08:12] keep [08:12] keep [08:12] cut [08:12] okay, please DON'T say things like that when I'm drinking tea ;) [08:12] keep [08:12] lol [08:12] it almost got acquainted with my monitor ;) [08:12] keep [08:12] cut [08:12] lol [08:12] cut [08:13] unfortunately my mother adopted the phrase and used it with the dog [08:13] <**EofS**> This punchline aint broke, so we won't be fixing it [08:13] "Worst case of oestrogen poisoning I've ever seen!" (just stealing and twisting a B5 line there ;)) [08:13] <**EofS**> >>>When somebody DIES, call me.<<< [08:13] keep [08:13] ...now why didn't I submit that? :P [08:13] cut [08:13] <**EofS**> Neutral [08:13] lol Petra! [08:13] but could we change it to "call me when somebody dies"? [08:13] I just think it sounds weird this way round... [08:13] cut [08:14] cut [08:14] keep [08:14] amnesiac - sounds good [08:14] cut [08:14] <**EofS**> I thought that too, otherwise the joke comes before the rest of the sentence [08:14] not that it looks as if it'll survive anyway ;-) [08:14] <**EofS**> Well that punchline certainly died a death [08:14] keep [08:14] mm sausage [08:14] had a lovely pair for lunch [08:14] <**EofS**> >>>Oh my!
