judging by Chamber Music, I think they suck, hooch

Nooo! Don’t judge by Chamber Music! I didn’t even bother to buy it but the first (Coal Chamber) and last (Dark Days) albums are both fantastic.

BB - I’ll do you a copy of Dark Days if you like (and you WP, should you wish to receive an education ;)). lol@the t-shirt, my prized possession is my CC beanie hat (especially useful when you have hair bleaching disasters).

Yey another Coal Chamber fan! Sway and Bradley I think are my favourite tracks off that album. Have you ever seen them live? Definitely one of my gigging highlights :D

Turn it off! Turn it off! I had to sit through that bloody thing on a flight. Evil.

lolol I think strawberry blonde is a special colour visible only to mothers. My mum had the same thing…

After a morning’s tribulations my hair is now black with red bits at the front and running through it in a style I like to call “highlights” as opposed to “I missed a bit”. All in all not a bad effort. Unfortunately my head is sore from the double bleaching effort so I’ve doused it in baby oil and have very slippery hands, not best for trying to type ;)

Title: I did a bad thing.

You know when your hair has been various shades of (dyed) red for a long time?

And you know when you suddenly have an inspirational thought in Morrisons and say “Gawd, I haven’t been blonde in aaages, I’ll buy some bleach.”?

And you know when the instructions on the bleach say you shouldn’t put it on top of red hairdye?
And you know when you think “But I haven’t actually dyed it for a while, I’ve got roots showing so that probably doesn’t count”?

And you know when you bleach your hair and it looks bad so you bleach it again half and hour later?

And you know when you now have blonde roots followed by a weird ginger halo followed by still red hair?

And you know when all of tomorrow is going to be spent putting more dye on in order to fix it?

I’m sure there’s a lesson here somewhere…

BB - I have a friend who has been in virtually the same position as you regarding ex-girlfriend in the picture. After months of hassle (and destroying her boyfriend’s mobile twice, just to stop the incessant calls) she discovered the solution - setting crazy-ex up with a new man! It has worked a treat and she is now enjoying her chap in peace. Of course this rather depends on finding an eligible bachelor keen to take on the emotional baggage of a psycholady - so good luck with that!

I know what you mean about family / friends interfering too. When I left my husband I incurred the wrath of pretty much everyone I knew, especially since I went straight into another relationship. Nine months seems like a plenty big space - wide enough for everyone to see you’re not going back to the ex anyhoo. I’m sure they’ll get over it once they see that you’re serious :)

Oh well, at least that’s a better story than the one about my old user name, ‘Dezley’…

Come on! Spit it out!

Hilda Hilda! I have invented a maneuver!
What are you a tank commander now?
No my name will be famous in restaurants!

It’s more of a gesture…

I have a CD recorder but I try to only use it for stuff that I can’t buy (rare albums and the like) or to make compilations - I know that beggars shouldn’t be choosers but I can’t help it, I like originals!

Ew! I’ve had a phobia about coke ever since I saw that experiment where you disolve a tooth in a glass of it - I only drink the diet stuff though I doubt it’s much better really, lol.

Mr Dentist was actually very nice although apparently they’re no longer allowed to give you gas / knock you out at all. Eek! Anyway, I didn’t have to have any injections today so hoorah :D

Thanks, I need it! Hopefully he will be kind and give me gas before he does anything.

*sigh* I have made a concerted not to get drunk tonight since I have an evil dentist appointment in the morning and do not wish to have hangover breath, in case he decides to exact his revenge with added drilling.

Title: Names

So I’m looking through the member list (what’s the point of having a member list if you’re not going to look through it once in a while? Or maybe you just really are that bored.) and I started pondering where people get their user names from cause there are some very odd ones out there (Like “Alan” - what the hell does that mean? ;))

Anyway, a thread in which you have the chance to explain yourself!

Hoochalobster, in homage to dear Dr Heimlich - “Hoocha hoocha hoocha, and the lobster will come out.” (2 points to White Psycho :D)

lol, I have that all the time. I think it’s why I’ve stopped reading any music magazines / listening to the radio and Therapy? are still my favourite band after 8 years - can’t afford to like anything else, heh heh.

I definitely feel like that about Jaw Breaker, I just never listen to the small amount of stuff I own cause I know I will have to have it aaaaaaall…

I hated the Tomb Raider games!! Why can’t Core make good games like they used to?

??!!?? How can you not love Tomb Raider?! Best game ever made (and I’m not just saying that because it’s the only game I’ve ever been good at. Okay I am.)

What other games did Core do?

when will people in horror films learn that you listen to the music?
Na nuh - naa nuh - Nope not going down there!
Naa nuh - No
La la lala - Ah this will do nicely!

you should recognise that, hooch!

Anyone see where the cellists went?! Heh heh heh :)

lolol, I laughed at the wheelchair bit too, especially since it was creepy guy out of Happiness (which you HAVE to see if you haven’t already :))

I got really bugged about the going to the house at night but have been told, quite sternly, that this is so he could get into the mindset of the murderer by reinacting his movements exactly. I thought it was just to scare us.

New game new game! I am so hopelessly out of date *sigh* is this for the PS2? I wonder how easy it is to blag a Halloween present - maybe I shall have to wait til Xmas :(

I’m going to see Red Dragon tonight, anyone seen it? My little sister says it’s great, but she’s got no taste.

I saw it the other night and thought it was good fun, way better than Hannibal. The fact that the sole thing they have done to make Anthony Hopkins look young is give him a little record producer ponytail (as in Wayne’s World 2) made me laugh and apparently Edward Norton’s character is quite old in the book but no fake beardy and greyness for him (thank god). It does have a bit of a Misery complex at the end but hey, what good horror film doesn’t?

Absolute best line that made me cry tears of joy: “I have oodles.”

Tomb Raider as in the film? Looks like my prayers to never see it again have been answered then ;) Truly terrible.

I agree Michael, these films are very subjective. I still haven’t managed to sit all the way through Natural Born Killers (or Withnail and I!) I did really love both Pulp Fiction and Fight Club though.

Heh heh, I’ve never known the “But I thought he was you” line to go down well.

Ne’er mind, we’ve all been there sometime. I once woke up in my then boyfriend’s housemate’s bed and had a complete panic attack as I couldn’t remember the night before. Lucky for me the trusty bloke had merely found me in a drunken heap on his bed and kindly taken to the sofa :)

No worries, I’m just glad it’s all sorted :)

Well there you go, just proves my point that posts are open to misinterpretation ;)

I do know what you mean about cliques but I’ve always found T? fans to be approachable and chatty, either here, at gigs or just in a club when you run up to people wearing T? t-shirts and tell them how great they are, heh heh.

So are we agreed you’re going to stick around?

Tim

We are nice people here. We have a laugh, we talk about how much we love Therapy? and, in my case at least, shit online games.

You entered this board with an attitude about cliques, so called experts and newbie-haters as if that’s all we were. It seems to me that you’re the clique-y one for not even trying to get to know us before passing judgement.

Nobody thought you were an asshole, the problem with the message board is it is open to interpretations and perhaps wouldn’t be misread in a face to face discussion. Why not just accept the word of people who know him better and take it that he wasn’t being rude to you?

There is a whole section of this board dedicated to welcoming newcomers - have a look through it. I think you’ll find we are a lot more obliging and welcoming than many other places.

Calm down, chill out and when you feel like chatting again, we’re all here waiting :)

Basically it means just a black screen with writing - you type in written commands as to what you want to do in the game and the computer responds.

It takes a while to figure out how to phrase things the right way but it is the best game when you do - I think my all time favouite command was “enjoy mud”, which I did ;)

Anyway, everybody should go to http://www.brothercake.com/games/countdown.php I cannot possibly begin to describe my joy…

I haven’t played Zork BB, sounds cool…those codes are on their way :)

Sam - sorry re Tetralink, have to go. I think we disproved your guaranteed winnage from going first though ;)

I do have a list of all the passwords but I think you’ll regret it if I tell you, you won’t have the satisfaction! It’s like when I was playing Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, I got completely stuck and asked my mum (who completed it unaided, bint) - whilst I probably would never have figured out how to do it myself it was a hollow victory. That sounds even more cheezy than it did in my head, lol

Anyway, I shall email you the passwords if you REALLY want them ;)

Alright, that was weird. On Jagex, has anyone else clicked on the heading at the side labelled ‘Bottomless Pit’? It’s really weird! It’s not a game, just a big bottomless pit. It made my eyes hurt.

lol - it reminds me of the underwater tunnels in Tomb Raider. I think the sound is really clever on it too.

Sam - saying “it’s possible to win Connect 4” does not constitute a tip! I shall, however, say this of Flea Circus - you don’t neccessarily have to use all the buttons / blocks etc that it provides you with, there are many red herrings that should be ignored.
