Sinister: connecting to freeserve

[gogron]

hello

nothing in particular
I want to go to #sinister chat but I'm waiting for off-peak freeserve to
connect, which may or may not happen

what I've just done
I went to a writer's group this evening: I had to really force myself
out the door because it's 'dreich' (wet) outside, and was already
starting to get dark. But If I'd stayed in I'd have ended up partaking
of too much Kirsch, which would be bad news tomorrow. I'm drinking one
now, but it's 22:31. The writer's group was fun: there's something
particularly engaging about well-written poems and stories being read by
their authors: then you get the chance to slag them off! Hehe. Naughty
me, I haven't written a thing yet except 'critic proof critic' in
invisible letters.

The computer you are dialling is not answering.
Try again later.
You'll realise by this point that I don't have much to say, but I like a
bit of typing now and again to occupy my fingers: at work I use computer
aided design, which is mostly mouse-play. It's a recalcitrant mouse too:
a real cheapo number that doesn't like getting clicked and frequently
ignores me.

John Peel speaks Sumerian
On the spot reportage of radio one at 22:42 on the 26th September 2000.
Following this is a kind of thrash metal track with a man trying to
sound mean and frightening. It doesn't work. Peely made a phonetic
effort with the title, but as to the veracity of the phonemes, well, I
lack comparitives.

Big words made easy
Most big words are wee words strung together with choice letters missing
and no spaces in-between. The Germans seem to specialise in this area.

I ought to finish with a joke
Mmm, I *ouught* to, but as usual I'm setting myself up for failure as I
can't think of any; me being a dour man in a dreich place at night (nice
little church candles glowing though) so there's laziness for you and
anyways, I'm pondering on one, or making up a topical one involving
drugs and athletes when I finally get connected.

P.S. I haven't commented on other peoples posts but I have been reading
and enjoying them for breakfast every day :)
but of the people I've met in #sinister:
bad luck for the Romanian gymnast! I'll be getting the book
someone might be joining a pop group: best of luck!
someone has a fantastic online journal and a poem called Gershwin Hotel
get off the rocking chair! I want a go! (just teasing :)
jellyfish are GRATE
I went up the Eiffel Tower, nah nah nah na nah nah!
love and cuddles to you all
