Plan was to hit an old mate's new housewarming tonight in Brighton for some serious substanceal hard house happiness and pretty much writing off the weekend and monday.
Just got a text. Painters have cockedup -- the house is still under-done and covered in crap.
What should I do instead?
Weird, I'm going to be in Brighton tonight too, seeing a mate who moved down there a while back. I doubt its the same bloke.
Wow, I'm in Brighton visiting a friend from uni.
That's just scary.

Come to London, Salt. You can watch Top Gear with me =]
I've got some chocolate digestives.
I'm still in London -- plan had been to train down there.
/waves long-distance at all the more-southerly types
we should do an iamcal brighton meetup incl. doc whatever night the party gets rescheduled to. if you ask nice, you might even be allowed in to the kewl peeps' parTAY after several pints. if so, you could maybe smuggle me in?
so what time's Top Gear? i have some amazingly well microwaved nosh with a negg on top to get myself around. plus a glass of restorative wine after some protracted thinking and typing. ow my bray nurts.

Milk.

tivo says topgear's not on anytime soon :(
criminy, you're less than 2 miles away! which, factoring in time of night and rain and temperature, is currently 2,000 miles. but come summer, you're only 10 minutes and a pile of sweat away. dum dum DUMMMM!!!
i'm up by spitalfields market, on a little victorian alleyway. and on my third wine. just popped upstairs after watching very rare alan moore interview to see what's goin' ONNN in the iamcal universe.

Is
this close?
It's a shame you weren't there Salti, I'm sure I would have bumped into you as I was in the Walkabout for the first bit of the night. I'm sure you would have been in there, you antipoles love it ;)
What did you get up to Alf?
Lying about being in Brighton mainly.
And Grim... seems uncommonly keen for a little bit of Salty company.
you're just jealous
sul: i swapped the walkabout for the satabout
When are you coming to visit me Salty? I have your room all ready.
is THAT where it is!? i've been looking bloody everywhere for that.
Oh, shit. Sorry. I took it last year. I fixed it up, I have put flowers in bowls; painted the cupboard (you sure had some strange things in there, Sal) I've cleaned it all out and put a four-poster bed in, biggie-best curtains and room freshener. You'll love it.
you put a four-poster bed in my cupboard? so... ah... my prize collection of... ehh that's still in the cupboard, right? just UNDER the bed or something, right?
i gave up putting flowers in bowls because they kept poking me in the eye when i was trying to eat breakfast. guess i'll have to get me some safety goggles. or better, some cool leather and chrome flying goggles -- OH yeah i can see me in those
You can certainly bring your goggles along with you if you want to. Just don't wear them in the morning, you'll scare my Mom. Your collection is safe in the shed at the bottom of the garden. Sorry, but we couldn't stand the smell. And my Mom wants to know if you'll need any help darning those socks. Also, you will have to take the beetle in to town.

If you're good, they may let you take one of the dogs later.
Yip, you can take Charlie, Jesse and Bobby for a walk. But not Jesse and Charlie together, because they fight.
