Dorking, Surrey, UK Superthread

[Axver]

Aaaand we're back?

I woke up during the maintenance, wasn't aware it was happening, and wondered "OH NOEZ WHERE IS TEH INTARFERENSE!!!!1"

 

[Alisaura]

Looks like we're all still here...

I never bothered to figure out when it was happening in our time zone, lucky someone else gave me a heads-up or I might have panicked too. *L*

Very droll with the Discotheque quote!

How's it going, Ax?

 

[Axver]

It felt weird waking up and having no Superthread.

Me, addicted to the Internet? Noooooo.

But yeah, I'm good; I had my longest sleep in weeks and feel pretty refreshed. How about you, Ali?

 

[bono_212]

The longest sleep?

 

[Alisaura]

Yeah, I'm not bad... didn't sleep as long/well as I might have liked, cos I woke up at 6am, roasting, cos I'd fallen asleep with my electric blanket on 3. I went back to sleep again, but you know.

House is half empty... might take the opportunity to crank some bass practice

[Alisaura]

I used the interference down-time to look at the other forum I used to post on, which I hadn't visited for an entire year. They sent me the exact same birthday email that Interference did... *L*

Yes, I died overnight.

Hah, I was perfectly comfortable just with one blanket on.

You, practice bass?!

And cool, which game? The only sport I got to watch last night was the league World Cup final.

Ah, cool. Heh, I haven't even looked up the scores yet, since New Zealand beating Wales is fairly predictable nowadays. Only our upcoming game against England has me worried.

Ahh, right. Well, I'm no help here ... have a

Hey Khan

too early for Xmas trees...

*grouch*


I'm not really here, btw.

okay, i just took two pics with my webcam. it's only the side i can see from here, and since it's the webcam it's not the greatest quality or anything.

Are you in agreement with me that trees and decorations and things should go up 12 days before Christmas and come down 12 days after?

That's the traditional way my family and some of my friends' families have always done it.

aww boo, i would've put the tree up earlier if i'd had my way. this is the earliest we've ever put it up though.

and in that case, i'd say hi, but not really

 

[coolian2]

Holla.

 

[Alisaura]

Every year I get more Grinch-like about Christmas...

But I have to admit, that's a purty tree, Khan!

*easily distracted by blinking lights and shiny baubles*

I seem to remember a while back, shops were stocking Christmas things in SEPTEMBER... but then for the couple of years after the 9/11 thing, they waited a bit longer. Maybe they've reeled it back to October now.

Tree's looking good, Khan.

Though heh, I think every year, I get less excited about Christmas ... I think the last time I really looked forward to it, I was 13 or so.

Ugh, I'm labouring over a post on EYKIW because of all kinds of difficult facts.

Heh, back when I lived at home, our tree often went star-less.

Here we go, the third paragraph is the awkward one: U2 Feedback - View Single Post - U2 to support KOL at Dec.19th Dublin show

Hm, I don't think I noticed this up in Queensland, but then again, I'm not entirely the ideal person to ask. I noticed my Coles has only just started touting Christmas - when I went there last week, they had a sign up about "35 sleeps until Christmas" and one section of the place now stocks Christmas goodies. I'm honestly glad they waited until over halfway through November.

I do remember as a child, the Wellington and Kapiti Coast Christmas parades got progressively earlier and earlier each year ...

And on a totally unrelated note:

This is great.
