| 01:23.29 | rhowe | You can pretty much do it in a long sleeved top |
| 01:23.45 | rhowe | It's going to be cold in France though - -10 to -25 with windchill |

| 03:13.20 | secretlondon | irl? |
| 03:13.44 | Leeds | yes |
| 03:15.01 | Leeds | a 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 |
| 03:16.13 | secretlondon | :) |
| 03:17.24 | Leeds | she's a bit of a nutter, this girl |
| 03:19.44 | Leeds | a bit manic, somewhat obsessive... |
| 03:20.09 | Discordian | Oh dear |
| 03:20.52 | Discordian | I remember being stalked on IRC once |
| 03:20.54 | Leeds | not in a medical way... she just tends |
| 03:37.59 | Discordian | She seemed lovely when she was taking her meds |
| 04:00.55 | secretlondon | well thankfully this is alpha 3.. |
| 04:00.55 | Discordian | Heh |
| 04:01.15 | Discordian | I think I must go work in the public library Saturday |
| 04:01.30 | Discordian | They have free wifi, power and warmth |
| 04:03.31 | Discordian | and of course books |
| 04:05.58 | Leeds | book? |
| 04:06.05 | Leeds | they have kindles? |
| 04:06.29 | Discordian | No they have pukka paper books |
| 04:06.43 | Leeds | books made from trees? |
| 04:06.44 | Discordian | and comfy chairs |
| 04:06.48 | Discordian | Yeah |
| 04:06.57 | Leeds | comfy chairs made from trees too? |
| 04:07.37 | Discordian | I wouldn't care to speculate |
| 04:15.17 | secretlondon | your libraries still have books? |
| 04:15.30 | secretlondon | ours are internet cafes with added newspapers |
| 04:15.33 | Discordian | I'd really hope so |
| 04:16.25 | Discordian | The local branch has books |
| 04:16.36 | Discordian | and some newspapers |
| 04:16.52 | Discordian | though alas not the guardian |
| 04:18.35 | secretlondon | ours at least have the guardian |
| 04:19.18 | Discordian | Small branch library |
| 04:21.07 | secretlondon | southwark 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.. |
| 04:24.03 | Discordian | Blimey |
| 04:24.15 | Discordian | That's a big shift |
| 04:24.48 | Discordian | One of the joys is reading the OED |
| 04:25.00 | Discordian | Which I can't afford at home |
| 04:29.11 | Discordian | but the central library is Bexley's flagship one |
| 04:32.14 | Discordian | So two wifi areas |
| 04:32.25 | Discordian | one of which offers power too |
| 04:36.57 | Discordian | It'll cost me 1.80 in bus fares a day though |
| 04:37.33 | secretlondon | they'll block loads of stuff |
| 04:37.49 | Discordian | i'm sure they will |
| 04:38.19 | secretlondon | eg no irc for you |
| 04:38.36 | Discordian | depends if they block ssh |
| 04:38.46 | secretlondon | and if you have somewhere to ssh to |
| 04:38.54 | Discordian | I do |
| 04:38.58 | secretlondon | cool |
| 04:39.31 | Discordian | Depends a bit what they'll let me download |
| 04:39.51 | secretlondon | ex college blocked "all executibles" but it didn't know what debs or tarballs were |
| 04:39.56 | Discordian | i'm thinking distros, pdfs etc |
| 04:40.05 | secretlondon | iso you'll be very lucky |
| 04:40.11 | secretlondon | pdf will be fine i'm sure |
| 04:40.25 | Discordian | rpms would work too |
| 04:40.36 | secretlondon | iso it will see as warez |
| 04:40.45 | Discordian | Yeah |
| 04:40.55 | Discordian | and there's a KFC near |
| 04:41.07 | Discordian | so I could have a nice lunch |
| 04:41.21 | secretlondon | kfc is a bit pricey |
| 04:41.49 | Discordian | Just a zinger and fries |
| 04:42.02 | secretlondon | make sandwiches ;) |
| 04:42.07 | secretlondon | say she who doesn't |
| 04:42.13 | Discordian | gah |
| 04:42.34 | Discordian | I'm allowed a zinger once in a while |
| 04:42.42 | secretlondon | true true |
| 04:43.13 | Discordian | Did you have a kebab? |
| 04:46.29 | secretlondon | yes |
| 04:47.08 | Discordian | Cool |
| 04:47.19 | Discordian | I might do that today |
| 04:47.38 | Discordian | with salad and extra chilli sauce |
| 04:48.56 | Discordian | i've some garlic and onions too I can add |
| 04:49.58 | Leeds | hmm... nearly lunchtime :-) |
| 04:50.31 | Discordian | Not here it's not |
| 04:51.23 | Leeds | true, but I am not there |
| 04:51.48 | Discordian | I used to work near a very good kebab shop in london |
| 04:52.14 | Discordian | Every friday lunchtime I'd have a doner kebab |
| 04:53.52 | secretlondon | doner is evil |
| 04:54.06 | secretlondon | we used to have a place that sold doner that wasn't ground up balls |
| 04:54.16 | secretlondon | they replaced it with the usual shite |
| 04:54.35 | Discordian | The big stick on a spit? |
| 04:54.38 | secretlondon | yeah |
| 04:55.09 | secretlondon | but it depends whats on the stick - whether its mechanically recovered mince or actual meat on the rotating stick |
| 04:55.20 | Discordian | Yeah it does |
| 04:55.44 | Discordian | decent kebabs also have seasoning and stuff |
| 04:56.31 | Discordian | there's plenty of kebab shops here |
| 04:56.50 | Discordian | or chippies that do kebabs |
| 04:57.06 | Leeds | there are a few here, but a) not really in this part of town and b) they're not kosher |
| 04:57.23 | Discordian | It's a bit cold though to go to ones the far side of town |
| 04:57.34 | Leeds | yeah |
| 04:57.46 | Leeds | down to something like 15C out there |
| 04:58.01 | Discordian | I doubt many if any kebab shops here are kosher |
| 04:58.08 | Discordian | But they are halal |
| 04:59.41 | Discordian | A local one said they sold prawn kebabs (which is fine by me) |
| 05:00.22 | Discordian | but they turned out to be prawn cocktail in a pita bread |
| 05:00.42 | Discordian | I appreciate prawns aren't kosher |
| 05:00.59 | Leeds | indeed |
| 05:01.19 | Leeds | kebab is a very randomly-applied word |
| 05:01.43 | Discordian | It's meat on a skewer |
| 05:02.00 | Discordian | Covers a very wide base |
| 05:02.06 | Leeds | but it's also meat off a skewer |
| 05:02.17 | Discordian | well yes |
| 05:03.05 | Leeds | anyway, 1pm has come and gone, time to get food |
| 05:03.06 | Discordian | kebabs you'll get in an indian restaurant are usually a bit different |
| 05:03.17 | Leeds | enough talking about it, time to eat it :-) |
| 05:03.22 | Discordian | heh |
| 05:06.45 | secretlondon | indian kebabs are different certainly |
| 05:06.47 | Discordian | I assume you have chicken kebabs secretlondon? |
| 05:06.55 | secretlondon | yeah, and kofte |
| 05:07.06 | secretlondon | and chicken doner (which is actual meat) |
| 05:07.25 | Discordian | lots of people don't like lamb doner |
| 05:07.35 | secretlondon | all the kebaberies locally are middle eastern |
| 05:07.43 | Discordian | ahh right |
| 05:07.48 | secretlondon | lamb doner always feels like C grade mince |
| 05:08.40 | secretlondon | damn 5am |
| 05:08.56 | Discordian | It's the only red meat I eat |
| 05:09.11 | Discordian | normally I eat poultry |
| 05:09.38 | Discordian | or when I can afford it shellfish |
| 05:09.42 | Discordian | or salmon |
| 05:10.55 | Discordian | i'm fond of vegetarian food too |
| 05:13.34 | Discordian | My all time favourite foods are: |
| 05:13.55 | Discordian | Mushroom ragout cooked in orval beer |
| 05:14.10 | Discordian | with garlic mash |
| 05:15.10 | Discordian | Chilli and garlic soft shelled crabs |
| 05:17.25 | Discordian | and some lebanese dish whose name I don't know but like a chicken tagine |
| 05:19.00 | secretlondon | I was taken to an eritrean place on sunday |
| 05:19.10 | secretlondon | it was great - MASSIVE amounts of food |
| 05:19.18 | secretlondon | and the coffee was fabulous and evil |
| 05:19.27 | Discordian | Oh right sounds good |
| 05:19.44 | Discordian | Spicy I hope |
| 05:19.54 | secretlondon | £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) |
| 05:19.58 | secretlondon | it was well seaosned |
| 05:20.03 | secretlondon | seasoned |

| 05:20.41 | secretlondon | after lots of coffee and a 2 bottles of wine we were bouncing off the ceilings |
| 05:20.47 | Discordian | I went to a japanese place once |
| 05:21.06 | Discordian | I did about 5 cups of jasmine tea |
| 05:21.12 | secretlondon | nice |
| 05:21.20 | Discordian | also unlimited top ups |
| 05:21.53 | secretlondon | chinese places can do that too with tea |

| 22:08.13 | Discordian | Hi |
| 22:56.25 | secretlondon | waking up at 10pm is broken |
| 22:56.40 | Discordian | I've done that occasionally |
| 22:56.54 | secretlondon | I'm supposed to be volunteering at the buddhist centre all dya saturdya |
| 22:56.55 | Discordian | Nothing is open here though after 11pm |
| 22:57.04 | secretlondon | oh we have loads of 24 places |
| 22:57.16 | Discordian | Absolutely none here |
| 22:57.26 | secretlondon | I think I'm gonna keep myself up all night and then try for the day too. hopefully then I'll crash out 5pm ish |
| 22:57.27 | Discordian | except maybe Sainsburys |
| 22:57.50 | Discordian | and sainsburys is only weekends |
| 22:58.02 | secretlondon | we don't have any 24 hr supermarkets that I know of |
| 22:58.31 | Discordian | There's a sainsburys express thing at the petrol station |
| 22:58.47 | Discordian | and the main one is 24 hours friday-saturday |
| 22:58.58 | secretlondon | our petrol station was a safeways, then a morrisons and is now a nisa |
| 22:59.14 | Discordian | Never heard of nisa |
| 22:59.21 | Discordian | But then I don't drive |
| 22:59.39 | secretlondon | nisa is like costcutters or somehting I think |
| 22:59.47 | secretlondon | I don't have a driving license myself |
| 23:00.00 | Discordian | Oh I see |
| 23:00.00 | secretlondon | it's pricery than the local shops |
| 23:00.14 | Discordian | Sure |
| 23:00.25 | Discordian | Out of hours is usually pricey |
| 23:00.37 | secretlondon | actually our shops are normally ok |
| 23:01.03 | Discordian | The local Spar/Londis thingys shut at 10:30 |
| 23:01.16 | Discordian | Even the takeaways shut at 11:30 |
| 23:01.21 | secretlondon | boo |
| 23:01.35 | secretlondon | our takeways close at 3/4ish depending on the day |
| 23:02.01 | Discordian | council won't license anything beyond 23:00 |
| 23:02.22 | secretlondon | costcutters is open all night but only really for things like cigarettes as they only have a hatch open |
| 23:03.06 | Discordian | The sainsburys express thing sells cigarettes though that wouldn't interest |
| 23:03.08 | Discordian | me |
| 23:03.17 | Discordian | and nasty sandwiches |
| 23:03.23 | secretlondon | turkish 24 hr deli on the walworth road is okay |
| 23:03.42 | Discordian | I've never smoked anything |
| 23:03.57 | Discordian | A 24 hour deli could be useful |
| 23:04.11 | Discordian | We don't even have a non-24 hour one |
| 23:04.37 | secretlondon | even though it is 24 hours its fruit and veg is still cheaper than the supermarkets |
| 23:04.49 | Discordian | that's cool |
| 23:05.16 | Discordian | I'd like to live somewhere that had decent fruit and veg |
| 23:05.30 | secretlondon | I have a street market too :D |
| 23:05.39 | Discordian | garlic/chilli/ginger etc |
| 23:06.34 | secretlondon | the deli has a choice of chillis, and fresh garlic and ginger |
| 23:06.52 | Discordian | That'd work |
| 23:07.05 | Discordian | I want to try fennel and stuff too |
| 23:07.18 | secretlondon | even several types of onions, and fresh herbs (although they don't label what they are) |
| 23:07.45 | Discordian | I like white onions,red onions,shallots etc |
| 23:10.56 | z00dax | its one thing I have always had an issue with in the UK |
| 23:11.13 | z00dax | you can never get a decent meal or a proper coffee shop anywhere out of normal hours |
| 23:11.41 | Discordian | Aye |
| 23:11.43 | z00dax | i remember going out - sometimes even at 1am - in the US, and actually finding a decent coffee shop open and meeting friends for a bit |
| 23:11.53 | Discordian | Crayford is dead after 1am |
| 23:12.00 | Discordian | Nothing is open |
| 23:12.22 | secretlondon | walworth and camberwell are open til late, but whether we count as decent is questionable |
| 23:15.11 | z00dax | Discordian: 1am ? more like 7pm :D |
| 23:15.26 | Discordian | Heh |
| 23:15.47 | Discordian | The takeaways start at 5:30pm ish |
| 23:15.59 | Discordian | The offie is open to 10pm ish |
| 23:17.30 | Discordian | bad news though if you're working nights and want a nice meal at 3am |
| 23:20.17 | Discordian | and the decayed night bus system means I can't go to rock gigs anymore |
| 23:20.29 | Discordian | though that was always marginal at best |
| 23:21.31 | z00dax | there is 'zen' |
| 23:21.50 | z00dax | if not a meal, you can go hang out with the happening crowd |
| 23:22.08 | Discordian | In dartford? |
| 23:22.12 | z00dax | yea |
| 23:22.19 | Discordian | Never been there |
| 23:22.20 | z00dax | whatever its called these days |
| 23:22.30 | Discordian | Oh the nightclub thing |
| 23:22.31 | z00dax | if you are 20, you are too old for that place |
| 23:22.35 | z00dax | yea |
| 23:23.11 | Discordian | I don't think I'd fit in |
| 23:24.03 | z00dax | heh |
| 23:24.20 | Discordian | I once went to an opera at the Orchard |
| 23:24.31 | z00dax | orchards ? |
| 23:24.32 | Discordian | I scared the other punters |
| 23:24.40 | Discordian | The theatre thing |
| 23:24.55 | z00dax | yeah, never been there |
| 23:25.24 | Discordian | I'm a rock fan so I went in leathers and jeans |
| 23:25.52 | Discordian | There were all these doctors and other worthies in DJs |
| 23:26.04 | z00dax | heh |
| 23:26.23 | Discordian | hey it was a Philip Glass opera |
| 23:26.54 | wethrin | So it involved 3 bandsaws and a violin? |
| 23:27.18 | Discordian | nah it was the Welsh national opera |
| 23:27.32 | Discordian | Very well done actually |
