omg omg omg I'm playing with Fight Like Apes!! wooooooo!!

Anyone fancy a sunday afternoon festival in August?

Sunday 3 August (11.30am – 6pm)
Fight Like Apes!
Big Red Ass
Parachute For Gordo
The Crosstown Trio
Our Lost Infantry
The Wilsons

WOW
 
I'm one of the few non self hating middle class white kids of my generation.

We're very much the Jews of the 2010s

lol


I've never had to hide in an attic because roaming packs of radical aetheist vegans heard I shop in Waitrose and listen to Classic FM, but I get the sentiment.

Honestly, I'd very much like to ascend to the ranks of the aristocracy. My full name would sound great with a Sir in front of it, evens out the number of syllables. Plus, the pace of life associated with the upper classes suits me down to the ground.

Given the chance I'd walk over the backs of several hundred working class drones to get there but I doubt the opportunity will present itself, c'est la vie.

Put me down for this mate, sounds like fun! You can't turn down the chance to see a band called Big Red Ass really can you.

My Nectar card says 'Smoky Dave Esq' on it, does that count? I'm not an esquire, but they still let me put it on the form.

You shop in Waitrose? Ugh. I order from Ocado so I don't have to rub shoulders with the hoi polloi.

Maybe, actually. I like PFG and I quite like britgaf folks, so you know. Sounds, you know,ok or something.

Ha! Having spoken to you, I can absolutely agree with this.

Us too! Darling, they sell five varieties of coconut water! And their smoked venison is to die for.

Waitrose? Booths is where it's at for the true snob, especially the one in Media City near the BBC. Has it's own Deli, Butcher and Fish mongers...

omg this would be AWESOME :D no pressure though lady! Should be a nice relaxed day tbh, the Westy is super chill, there will be grass indoors and a load of lovely bands. Our Lost Infantry are good mates of ours, Crosstown Trio are some nice folkies that I think I have a mate playing in, FLA are badass... it's going to be a lovely day.

SO HYPE

Working class people aren't food and beer hipsters like you are.

A man can have aspirations.

Plus, I liked good beer and food before it was cool.

Don't expect much. I am very proud of my underwhelmingness. Don't threaten it!

More importantly, well done to you and the band.

bitch I'm taking calls.
Yeah bed of chaos is garbage. I feel sorry for the sleep-deprived intern who was put in charge of that. Lost Izalith & the Demon Ruins are shitty cut & paste levels that are truly shit stains on an otherwise amazing game.

I need to go back and finish Dark Souls myself. The only area I haven't beaten is Tomb of the Giants. But those skeletons are intimidating!

Congratulations! This is relevant to my interests. Where is it taking place?
 
Oh, hey, more glasto hate from the group of middle class white kids who think they're above the best festival in the UK.


John, you have people you can fire???
Does that mean you can hire people too?
But Reading/Leeds have the Lockup stage!

Either way they're all shit. Groezrock for life yo. Ignore that it's not UK.

And congrats Jed. I recognise none of those bands but I will go and look them up now!

dark souls update: fuck the bed of chaos. what a poopbutt.
You can totally cheese it, it becomes the easiest fight in the game.

Just run left first, jump the gap, slash the heart thingy, then save and quit. You start right at the top of the ramp.

Go do the right side the same way, hug the wall and watch out for the floor giving way, slash, save and quit. Then for the middle, just run down the middle slightly to the right, stop at the middle stone circle, back step his swipes, the drop down onto the root below.

Same thing, run in, slash the heart thingy, done. You've just got to be quick, take off any heavy armour and don't stop running. Hell, do it in your pants.

Edit: oh, you did it. Never mind then!
 
More good news, this is turning out to be a good day for BritGaf - I got the job! Apparently they absolutely loved me.Yay! It's a great move for me career wise, but also it's a £2K pay rise, which may not sound like a lot but when you haven't had a pay rise for 3 years it's quite nice!

Hey! Congratulations mamabear :)

Reading Festival could have the best lineup ever. It's still a shit festival.

The atmosphere is crap because it's largely just teenagers away from their parents for the first time attempting to cause riots.
I broke a guy's collarbone at Reading Festival. The only reason I went was because for some reason Radiohead played it.

Glastonbury, Latitude, The Big Chill, Bestival, Isle of Wight, Download, Sonisphere etc - these are the British festivals worth going to. Great atmosphere (though I only have first-hand experience of Glasto and Latitude out of those, the rest I'm relying on friends' reports.

Finalement I am done for the week.

A wad load of chargeable hours
A few new wins of work
I've now got proper tea making facilities on my desk
My desk is fairly tidy
The sun is shining
There's a new Edge out
E is already at home

Life's not so bad.
 
Congrats on the job candice. In similar but not such prestigious news my contract (in doubt since March) has been extended all the way to september.

Also if I remember the story right didn't you break someone's collar bone with a fire extinguisher Mike?

He lied.

EDIT: Ah, shit. That was Arnie.

Has Arnie fought Freddie Mercury yet? Real sexual chemistry between those two.

Did you know the daughter is one of the girls in Charmed?

I really want to have sex with the chick from the Trivago advert and it's annoying me. I can almost feel a smug marketing man giving me a knowing wink.

Edit: damn. Just looked her up and she has topless shots online. Her name is Emma Leth. Now I really want to have sex with her.

Congrats, Mush! Well deserved.
