INN OF LOST SOULS: general chit-chat thread

Post by **PaulH** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 9:32 pm

Students have amazing abilities to destroy - and to clean up. I remember at uni once that we couldn't be bothered to wash the pans in the kitchen, so we just threw them all in the bin.

Trant - buy it! If you love it and have tne money, then I think you have answered your own question.

I love ISIHAC, funny to hear the first ones where Humph is just introducing it normally, compared to now where he is funnily sarcastic. A cool recent Mornington crescent was where they had a car navigation system helping themplay mornington crescent. Anyway, I digress since I didnt' think anyone would get my reference at all : )

For what it's worth, I got all the references too.

In fact, I have been to see it being recorded a few times (including one of the Christmas specials). Absolutely hilarious. So much stuff that had to be cut for being just that little bit too rude (each recording takes about an hour and a half to edit down to 27 mins). Samantha was great live; I've still no idea how they get away with broadcasting any of that!

Cool, I wish for some of these radio shows they could release full uncut versions on cassette or whatever like ISIHAC or New Quiz, would be interesting!

And yes, if you described the show it might sound a very old fasioned show, but it's downright filthy at times, much worse than anything modern would dare to try to get away with. Must admit, one of my favourite jokes was Lionel Blair trying to enact One man and his dog on give us a clue.

What a beautiful clear day it is in the UK! I'm just about to go mountain biking - apparently from the nearby hill/crag, you can see York Minster over 55 miles away! I'll take the camera.

Just got back, cream crackered. 3 hours of hill climbing, the tops hadn't even thawed out in the sun! Could see for miles, saw a blob I thought was the minster and the hills beyond which are nigh on 70 miles away. I took the following pics: amazing what you can get from a phone camera (Nokia 6680 1.3 MP). All halved in sized and 'jpeg'ed.

The Birley Stone, Jawbone Hill, S Yorks. This was erected in 1156 and marked an ancient boundary between land that monks in France owned and England:

Some nice pics there Paul! Quality is pretty good too. :Sigh: reminds me of home

Good ol' Yorkshire...

Where is it you went riding exactly? I really should start cycling again - my bike's just gathering dust in the shed back home...

Post by **PaulH** » Thu Nov 17, 2005 6:24 pm

Yeah, I was quite amazed at the quality too. Camera phones seem to be a lot better at this sort of shot than close ups. I didn't do any jiggery pokery with photoshop either apart from size reduction and compression.

The place I went is called Wharncliffe Crags, about 3 or 4 miles north of where I live in Sheffield. It is one of the best riding spots in the country with XC tracks, DH, trails... the lot. Steve Peat practices there! Some trails are pretty rough, I may have to upgrade to a full bouncer, but the bike pictured above is soooooo light.

Loads of other quality places close by too. Most people seem to ignore South Yorkshire when we think of Yorkshire... but in reality it boasts places with IMO better views than almost anywhere alse in the county and great riding.

Wow! Nice photoshop effects!

Yeah! My dog took them...

I can't beleive that is from a camera phone - very nice

Post by **PaulH** » Fri Nov 18, 2005 12:12 am

It is about the best camera phone on the market! Conditions were perfect. Take a photo of something close up and its terrible so its not all good news.

I like your new Lemmings logo Gambit!

Post by **Gambit37** » Sun Nov 20, 2005 8:37 pm

Really? Oh no!

I gave him a background. Looks better I think. Let's go!

Ooooooh. The 4400. Which I still haven't watched!

Los! (shout out to trantor there)

I have seen the first episode of series 2, and not sure what I think of it. Mmm, lemmingstastic

Yeah, I agree, the Lemming avatar is really cute, and how could one ever forget the little "Oh no!"

I am kind of looking forward to the Christmas thread, but I am also scared at the same time... I suppose it will help to get my post count going, though.

It's like the screamer room, rat room, and deepest DM level all combined into one for your post count! I fully expect a few more Archmasters and High Lords by the end of January

I have the system set up to email me when someone replies to a thread I have posted in (admittedly, thats a lot), but lately these reply notifications are coming through a couple of days late. Odd.

Post by **cowsmanaut** » Tue Nov 22, 2005 8:40 am

yeah, please be sure it actually emails you, Adamo.. yours still bounces the emails back to my inbox saying delivery failed.. either your email addy is incorrect or the site you are using has us blocked..

and let this be a note to all.. please.. if you don't have a real email don't put a fake one and then ask to be notified for new posts

bah.. humbug

Love the snow Paul
