| 00:02.38 | Leeds | yes |
| 00:03.26 | murb | I'm trying to work out what time it starts it is not clear from the website. |
| 00:03.46 | murb | Leeds: and do you know how long trasnfers are likly to take from leeds bradford airport? |
| 00:04.02 | Leeds | what, into town? |
| 00:04.41 | murb | well whereever their venue is. |
| 00:04.43 | Leeds | I've not been to LBA for maybe 10 years... |
| 00:05.33 | murb | oh, i'm just looking at various options and working out total costs. |

| 00:06.01 | Karen | morning |
| 00:06.19 | murb | lo again! |
| 00:07.47 | Leeds | morning |
| 00:07.49 | Karen | hey |
| 00:08.06 | Leeds | so... touchy about anti-lawyer comments, are we? :-) |
| 00:08.24 | rhowe | lawyers suck! |
| 00:08.30 | Karen | yes, when I'm in this sort of mood:-P |
| 00:08.33 | Leeds | rhowe: that is very true |
| 00:08.49 | rhowe | Leeds: But only if you pay them enough, I suspect |
| 00:08.52 | murb | rhowe: friendly lawyers are good though. |
| 00:09.06 | murb | rhowe: and we don't want unhappyones, bad things may happen. |
| 00:09.10 | rhowe | murb: Yes, albeit less common than one would like |
| 00:09.12 | murb | rhowe: consider it like pissing off your sysadmin. |
| 00:11.17 | Karen | how many children read the gllug list? |
| 00:11.24 | Leeds | Karen: if you sue me, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine |
| 00:11.27 | rhowe | Karen: Well, I do... :) |

| 00:12.10 | Karen | I only wonder 'cos someone has contacted me saying his/her kids read it, and therefore I ought not to use profain language |
| 00:12.28 | Leeds | Karen: it was a little blunt... it was only a joke, after all |
| 00:12.31 | murb | Karen: oh what did you post? |
| 00:13.02 | murb | Karen: depends on how you define kids, i think George may technically count as one. |
| 00:13.10 | murb | but seeing as he also users IRC.. |
| 00:13.25 | Leeds | george is a fuckwit anyway |
| 00:13.27 | murb | and goes to a posh school, i think you can consider him already corrupted. |
| 00:13.32 | Karen | Leeds: yes, a little blunt |
| 00:14.29 | Karen | because I was rather peeved at the time |
| 00:14.41 | Leeds | I think you made that very clear :-) |
| 00:14.55 | murb | Karen: oh that post looks fair enough L:) |
| 00:15.27 | Leeds | to be fair, I've heard some great anti-lawyer jokes over the years from legal people in the family, and my dad's practice is the best source of dirty jokes I know :-) |
| 00:15.45 | Karen | It hadn't occurred to me that there might be lots of 10 year olds reading though |
| 00:15.47 | murb | does Alain ever come to meetings anyway? |
| 00:16.37 | Karen | yeah - it's like gay/race related jokes etc - it's ok when you tell them about yourself |
| 00:17.13 | Leeds | Jews have big noses because air is free? |
| 00:17.36 | murb | Leeds: I never understood those kinds of jokes. |
| 00:18.15 | JAV | Leeds: :D |
| 00:18.32 | gregj | How many social workers does it take to change a light bulb? |
| 00:18.48 | Leeds | only 1 but the bulb has to want to change? |
| 00:18.50 | gregj | Zero! None of them can actually do anything, so they form a |
| 00:18.50 | gregj | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:18.50 | gregj | committee and write a paper entitled, |
| 00:18.50 | gregj | <PROTECTED> |
| 00:18.51 | gregj | "Learning to live with darkness." |
| 00:19.14 | gregj | ;] |
| 00:19.38 | murb | gregj: you are not supposed to laught at your own joke. |
| 00:19.50 | gregj | hmmm |
| 00:19.54 | gregj | me is new in england |
| 00:19.55 | gregj | ;) |
| 00:19.56 | Karen | grr - this wasn't why I came online |
| 00:20.01 | Leeds | similar to the Jewish mother version... "Don't worry about me, I'll just sit in the darkness, I don't know, my son is so busy he can't even be bothered to come change a lightbulb for his old Mum..." |
| 00:20.05 | murb | why did you come on line? |
| 00:20.05 | Karen | I was supposed to be looking for telephone numbers |
| 00:20.29 | Leeds | Karen: I suggest the walls of a phone box in the West End |
| 00:21.23 | murb | grr nationwide are getting evil with their credit card terms and conditions :( |
| 00:22.16 | gregj | what's the change ? |
| 00:26.33 | Karen | Leeds: not *those* phone numbers, - I've got loads of them already:-P |
| 00:26.47 | Leeds | um... |
| 00:26.51 | murb | oh and my other hate for this am is organisations that you join one year and then assume you want to be a member for ever and keep on sending reminders for this year :( |
| 00:27.34 | gregj | good |
| 00:27.36 | gregj | :] |
| 00:27.38 | gregj | for them.. |
| 00:29.26 | Leeds | murb: ukuug? |
| 00:29.56 | murb | Leeds: one example. |
| 00:30.08 | murb | i didn't think the behaved like this in the past though. |
| 00:30.22 | murb | I'm pretty sure last year i also pay for summer conference + years membership at the same time and had no problems. |
| 00:30.50 | murb | this year i'm not sure if i can afford the conference and without that the membership is otherwise a waste of time. |
| 00:30.59 | Leeds | that's the way I've done it for at least 4 years... |
| 00:31.32 | murb | I especailly like them drawing my attention to their great 21.5% discount on ORA books when GLLUG gets tham at 25% just by turning up :) |
| 00:31.57 | Leeds | they send a couple of reminders in the first half of the year, then I pay for the conference and the membership at the same time |
| 00:32.08 | Leeds | to be fair, GLLUG shouldn't really get that... and we don't get it often |
| 00:34.14 | murb | Leeds: well fosdem seem to get the discount as well :) |
| 00:35.18 | Leeds | right, fosdem is different |
| 00:36.09 | Leeds | you know it costs Josette to come to GLLUG, right? she makes a loss whenever she comes |
| 00:39.34 | Karen | right bed time for me |
| 00:40.16 | Leeds | night |
| 00:40.27 | murb | nn |
