[Cin]

I'm off to get some tea. Prolly fish and chips


ooooh but I wanna stay and look at cards. Will have to look back later.

 

[Axver]

Ax drew a schlong in Ash's card

My Wena with a Santa hat!

I was proud of that.

Oh, see you Cin!

 

[liamcool]

It's like you live overseas and there's a time delay.

That's the "holy crap sleep deprivation is a killer" delay.

 

[Axver]

That's the "holy crap sleep deprivation is a killer" delay.

Haha, none of us can talk compared to Charlotte!

This is what A$hley intended all along: to get me mock sword-fighting with wine glasses.

Video or it didn't happen.

You ask too much, for, why does the Sun rise? Or are the stars mearly pinpoints in the dark curtain of the sky?

*is confused, trapped in tuf rpg, but respects the awesome crappy cards*

 

[Axver]

Now THIS is what I went to France to photograph.

(It doesn't get faster than this. Literally. A TGV has set the speed record for a train. 578km/h I think. Might've been a couple of km/h either way.)

And to me, despite the awful lighting, this shot feels very French:

 

[Alisaura]

Woah, that's a pointy train.

 

[Alisaura]

Lo, I have read the whole respectable rpg.

I may have brain damage.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I don't think I've received any Christmas cards, though I think I probably sent the Adelaide address, which might be why.

Or I just didn't get any.

 

[Axver]

Railfans often call the front of a train "the pointy end", and we're not kidding in this case!

The cab windows at the front are largely aesthetics too (at least as far as operating on specific high speed lines goes). The driver doesn't actually need to look out the window - and for a very good reason, as the train goes too fast for signals to be read. Signalling information is instead sent to the driver electronically.

 

[Axver]

Lo, I have read the whole respectable rpg.

I may have brain damage.

Daaamn. I mean, I read it all at the time, but in one go? Respectable brain damage, that.

I don't think I've received any Christmas cards, though I think I probably sent the Adelaide address, which might be why.

Or I just didn't get any.

You didn't even give me any address.

I could totally do you a New Year's card!

 

[Alisaura]

I need to deliver a thing into your posession somehow, Bonnie... in person or by post, and I can accompany this with a card of some description!

 

[Alisaura]

*wants fish and chips*

May have to settle for BBQ leftovers.

 

[The Sad Punk]

You didn't even give me any address.

I could totally do you a New Year's card!

Oh geez, really? :S Maybe I just assumed you already had mine!

Nah, it's okay! I've still got the one from last year, which is worth treasuring for many more to come.

 

[Axver]

I could go for all manner of things, none of which I actually have.

This means lazy napoli sauce is probably going to be made in the next half hour.

Book Review: Corn Flakes with John Lennon and Other Tales from a Rock N' Roll Life

I think it goes without saying that you couldn't think of a better title for a book.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I had hastily made foccaccia from an Italian stall at one of the Gala Day beach-side festivals here.

 

[Alisaura]

Book Review: Corn Flakes with John Lennon and Other Tales from a Rock N' Roll Life

I think it goes without saying that you couldn't think of a better title for a book.

Even better that Bono wrote the introduction.


ETA: Der, it's on @u2.com, of course Bono is involved.

 

[Axver]

Nah, it's okay! I've still got the one from last year, which is worth treasuring for many more to come.

Haha, cool. I think I do have to do a New Year's card for Cin, at her insistence.

(Because I totally fear her wrath.)

I really hope this guy also had orange juice with those cornflakes.

 

[Alisaura]

Is it bad that this line jumped out at me?

"... and the band seemed to respect him all the more for it."

 

[Alisaura]

I think I should go investigate food...

I really should have had a shower today. Or at least put on a clean t-shirt.


Respectable new years to you all!

 

[Axver]

"... and the band seemed to respect him all the more for it."

Given what you just read IN FULL, no, I think that's entirely natural.

Unrelated note: I'm just uploading some photos from my first evening in Geneva, and these birds are totally the cutest.

 

[Alisaura]

My tuf brain damage also led me to look at the duck's nest and think that tuf bono would devour that in a millisecond.

Toodles

 

[Axver]

Soon as I saw the nest, I thought if any bird dared to do that on the banks of any waterbody in the middle of a major Aussie city, bogans would destroy it.

See you, Alison!

 

[Cin]

bwaaahaaahaaaaaaa.
Decided to order chinese instead. mmm, soon I'll have some fried rice, beef with veg and chicken with plum sauce in mah tum.

That's right. Why wonder at the beauty of nature and it's creatures when you can poke things with sticks and throw beer cans at them.

 

[Cin]

I just saw a pic of a man with 7 cats sleeping on the bed. . .possibly me in the future if left to live alone for more than a year
