03:13.44Leedsyes
03:15.01Leedsa friend has pinged me on MSN this morning to ask me if I think it's odd that her bf bought a dildo while they were out at a night market yesterday... and then proceeded to tell me what they did with it later
03:16.13secretlondon:)
03:17.24Leedsshe's a bit of a nutter, this girl
03:19.44Leedsa bit manic, somewhat obsessive...
03:20.09DiscordianOh dear
03:20.52DiscordianI remember being stalked on IRC once
03:20.54Leedsnot in a medical way... she just tends
03:37.59DiscordianShe seemed lovely when she was taking her meds
04:00.55secretlondonwell thankfully this is alpha 3..
04:00.55DiscordianHeh
04:01.15DiscordianI think I must go work in the public library Saturday
04:01.30DiscordianThey have free wifi, power and warmth
04:03.31Discordianand of course books
04:05.58Leedsbook?
04:06.05Leedsthey have kindles?
04:06.29DiscordianNo they have pukka paper books
04:06.43Leedsbooks made from trees?
04:06.44Discordianand comfy chairs
04:06.48DiscordianYeah
04:06.57Leedscomfy chairs made from trees too?
04:07.37DiscordianI wouldn't care to speculate
04:15.17secretlondonyour libraries still have books?
04:15.30secretlondonours are internet cafes with added newspapers
04:15.33DiscordianI'd really hope so
04:16.25DiscordianThe local branch has books
04:16.36Discordianand some newspapers
04:16.52Discordianthough alas not the guardian
04:18.35secretlondonours at least have the guardian
04:19.18DiscordianSmall branch library
04:21.07secretlondonsouthwark laid off all of the reference librarians in one library, and installed loads of computers. the reference stock is still upstairs but you are not allowed access, and they only have one member of staff who is too busy booking out computers to go and find it for you..
04:24.03DiscordianBlimey
04:24.15DiscordianThat's a big shift
04:24.48DiscordianOne of the joys is reading the OED
04:25.00DiscordianWhich I can't afford at home
04:29.11Discordianbut the central library is Bexley's flagship one
04:32.14DiscordianSo two wifi areas
04:32.25Discordianone of which offers power too
04:36.57DiscordianIt'll cost me 1.80 in bus fares a day though
04:37.33secretlondonthey'll block loads of stuff
04:37.49Discordiani'm sure they will
04:38.19secretlondoneg no irc for you
04:38.36Discordiandepends if they block ssh
04:38.46secretlondonand if you have somewhere to ssh to
04:38.54DiscordianI do
04:38.58secretlondoncool
04:39.31DiscordianDepends a bit what they'll let me download
04:39.51secretlondonex college blocked "all executibles" but it didn't know what debs or tarballs were
04:39.56Discordiani'm thinking distros, pdfs etc
04:40.05secretlondoniso you'll be very lucky
04:40.11secretlondonpdf will be fine i'm sure
04:40.25Discordianrpms would work too
04:40.36secretlondoniso it will see as warez
04:40.45DiscordianYeah
04:40.55Discordianand there's a KFC near
04:41.07Discordianso I could have a nice lunch
04:41.21secretlondonkfc is a bit pricey
04:41.49DiscordianJust a zinger and fries
04:42.02secretlondonmake sandwiches ;)
04:42.07secretlondonsay she who doesn't
04:42.13Discordiangah
04:42.34DiscordianI'm allowed a zinger once in a while
04:42.42secretlondontrue true
04:43.13DiscordianDid you have a kebab?
04:46.29secretlondonyes
04:47.08DiscordianCool
04:47.19DiscordianI might do that today
04:47.38Discordianwith salad and extra chilli sauce
04:48.56Discordiani've some garlic and onions too I can add
04:49.58Leedshmm... nearly lunchtime :-)
04:50.31DiscordianNot here it's not
04:51.23Leedstrue, but I am not there
04:51.48DiscordianI used to work near a very good kebab shop in london
04:52.14DiscordianEvery friday lunchtime I'd have a doner kebab
04:53.52secretlondondoner is evil
04:54.06secretlondonwe used to have a place that sold doner that wasn't ground up balls
04:54.16secretlondonthey replaced it with the usual shite
04:54.35DiscordianThe big stick on a spit?
04:54.38secretlondonyeah
04:55.09secretlondonbut it depends whats on the stick - whether its mechanically recovered mince or actual meat on the rotating stick
04:55.20DiscordianYeah it does
04:55.44Discordiandecent kebabs also have seasoning and stuff
04:56.31Discordianthere's plenty of kebab shops here
04:56.50Discordianor chippies that do kebabs
04:57.06Leedsthere are a few here, but a) not really in this part of town and b) they're not kosher
04:57.23DiscordianIt's a bit cold though to go to ones the far side of town
04:57.34Leedsyeah
04:57.46Leedsdown to something like 15C out there
04:58.01DiscordianI doubt many if any kebab shops here are kosher
04:58.08DiscordianBut they are halal
04:59.41DiscordianA local one said they sold prawn kebabs (which is fine by me)
05:00.22Discordianbut they turned out to be prawn cocktail in a pita bread
05:00.42DiscordianI appreciate prawns aren't kosher
05:00.59Leedsindeed
05:01.19Leedskebab is a very randomly-applied word
05:01.43DiscordianIt's meat on a skewer
05:02.00DiscordianCovers a very wide base
05:02.06Leedsbut it's also meat off a skewer
05:02.17Discordianwell yes
05:03.05Leedsanyway, 1pm has come and gone, time to get food
05:03.06Discordiankebabs you'll get in an indian restaurant are usually a bit different
05:03.17Leedsenough talking about it, time to eat it :-)
05:03.22Discordianheh
05:06.45secretlondonindian kebabs are different certainly
05:06.47DiscordianI assume you have chicken kebabs secretlondon?
05:06.55secretlondonyeah, and kofte
05:07.06secretlondonand chicken doner (which is actual meat)
05:07.25Discordianlots of people don't like lamb doner
05:07.35secretlondonall the kebaberies locally are middle eastern
05:07.43Discordianahh right
05:07.48secretlondonlamb doner always feels like C grade mince
05:08.40secretlondondamn 5am
05:08.56DiscordianIt's the only red meat I eat
05:09.11Discordiannormally I eat poultry
05:09.38Discordianor when I can afford it shellfish
05:09.42Discordianor salmon
05:10.55Discordiani'm fond of vegetarian food too
05:13.34DiscordianMy all time favourite foods are:
05:13.55DiscordianMushroom ragout cooked in orval beer
05:14.10Discordianwith garlic mash
05:15.10DiscordianChilli and garlic soft shelled crabs
05:17.25Discordianand some lebanese dish whose name I don't know but like a chicken tagine
05:19.00secretlondonI was taken to an eritrean place on sunday
05:19.10secretlondonit was great - MASSIVE amounts of food
05:19.18secretlondonand the coffee was fabulous and evil
05:19.27DiscordianOh right sounds good
05:19.44DiscordianSpicy I hope
05:19.54secretlondon£12 for a coffee ceremony where they roasted the beans for you and then gave you repeated top ups (the £12 was for everybody not per head)
05:19.58secretlondonit was well seaosned
05:20.03secretlondonseasoned

05:20.29Discordianheh
05:20.41secretlondonafter lots of coffee and a 2 bottles of wine we were bouncing off the ceilings
05:20.47DiscordianI went to a japanese place once
05:21.06DiscordianI did about 5 cups of jasmine tea
05:21.12secretlondonnice
05:21.20Discordianalso unlimited top ups
05:21.53secretlondonchinese places can do that too with tea
05:23.15Discordiani freaked one of my dining companions out by having the soft shelled crabs

22:07.56secretlondonhi
22:08.13DiscordianHi
22:56.25secretlondonwaking up at 10pm is broken
22:56.40DiscordianI've done that occasionally
22:56.54secretlondonI'm supposed to be volunteering at the buddhist centre all dya saturdya
22:56.55DiscordianNothing is open here though after 11pm
22:57.04secretlondonoh we have loads of 24 places
22:57.16DiscordianAbsolutely none here
22:57.26secretlondonI think I'm gonna keep myself up all night and then try for the day too. hopefully then I'll crash out 5pm ish
22:57.27Discordianexcept maybe Sainsburys
22:57.50Discordianand sainsburys is only weekends
22:58.02secretlondonwe don't have any 24 hr supermarkets that I know of
22:58.31DiscordianThere's a sainsburys express thing at the petrol station
22:58.47Discordianand the main one is 24 hours friday-saturday
22:58.58secretlondonour petrol station was a safeways, then a morrisons and is now a nisa
22:59.14DiscordianNever heard of nisa
22:59.21DiscordianBut then I don't drive
22:59.39secretlondonnisa is like costcutters or somehting I think
22:59.47secretlondonI don't have a driving license myself
23:00.00DiscordianOh I see
23:00.00secretlondonit's pricery than the local shops
23:00.14DiscordianSure
23:00.25DiscordianOut of hours is usually pricey
23:00.37secretlondonactually our shops are normally ok
23:01.03DiscordianThe local Spar/Londis thingys shut at 10:30
23:01.16DiscordianEven the takeaways shut at 11:30
23:01.21secretlondonboo
23:01.35secretlondonour takeways close at 3/4ish depending on the day
23:02.01Discordiancouncil won't license anything beyond 23:00
23:02.22secretlondoncostcutters is open all night but only really for things like cigarettes as they only have a hatch open
23:03.06DiscordianThe sainsburys express thing sells cigarettes though that wouldn't interest
23:03.08Discordianme
23:03.17Discordianand nasty sandwiches
23:03.23secretlondonturkish 24 hr deli on the walworth road is okay
23:03.42DiscordianI've never smoked anything
23:03.57DiscordianA 24 hour deli could be useful
23:04.11DiscordianWe don't even have a non-24 hour one
23:04.37secretlondoneven though it is 24 hours its fruit and veg is still cheaper than the supermarkets
23:04.49Discordianthat's cool
23:05.16DiscordianI'd like to live somewhere that had decent fruit and veg
23:05.30secretlondonI have a street market too :D
23:05.39Discordiangarlic/chilli/ginger etc
23:06.34secretlondonthe deli has a choice of chillis, and fresh garlic and ginger
23:06.52DiscordianThat'd work
23:07.05DiscordianI want to try fennel and stuff too
23:07.18secretlondoneven several types of onions, and fresh herbs (although they don't label what they are)
23:07.45DiscordianI like white onions,red onions,shallots etc
23:10.56z00daxits one thing I have always had an issue with in the UK
23:11.13z00daxyou can never get a decent meal or a proper coffee shop anywhere out of normal hours
23:11.41DiscordianAye
23:11.43z00daxi remember going out - sometimes even at 1am - in the US, and actually finding a decent coffee shop open and meeting friends for a bit
23:11.53DiscordianCrayford is dead after 1am
23:12.00DiscordianNothing is open
23:12.22secretlondonwalworth and camberwell are open til late, but whether we count as decent is questionable
23:15.11z00daxDiscordian: 1am ? more like 7pm :D
23:15.26DiscordianHeh
23:15.47DiscordianThe takeaways start at 5:30pm ish
23:15.59DiscordianThe offie is open to 10pm ish
23:17.30Discordianbad news though if you're working nights and want a nice meal at 3am
23:20.17Discordianand the decayed night bus system means I can't go to rock gigs anymore
23:20.29Discordianthough that was always marginal at best
23:21.31z00daxthere is 'zen'
23:21.50z00daxif not a meal, you can go hang out with the happening crowd
23:22.08DiscordianIn dartford?
23:22.12z00daxyea
23:22.19DiscordianNever been there
23:22.20z00daxwhatever its called these days
23:22.30DiscordianOh the nightclub thing
23:22.31z00daxif you are 20, you are too old for that place
23:22.35z00daxyea
23:23.11DiscordianI don't think I'd fit in
23:24.03z00daxheh
23:24.20DiscordianI once went to an opera at the Orchard
23:24.31z00daxorchards ?
23:24.32DiscordianI scared the other punters
23:24.40DiscordianThe theatre thing
23:24.55z00daxyeah, never been there
23:25.24DiscordianI'm a rock fan so I went in leathers and jeans
23:25.52DiscordianThere were all these doctors and other worthies in DJs
23:26.04z00daxheh
23:26.23Discordianhey it was a Philip Glass opera
23:26.54wethrinSo it involved 3 bandsaws and a violin?
23:27.18Discordiannah it was the Welsh national opera
23:27.32DiscordianVery well done actually
23:32.22Discordianbriefly
