09:59.29ChoHagThe problem with music is not that so much of it's shit, but that it's mediocre.
10:03.09wethrinYou need to listen to better stuff, then
10:13.06ChoHagI generally just don't bother if it's more recent than about 1930.
10:13.22ChoHag"I recently received a royalty statement from Warner Bros in which I found that one of our most popular songs, ‘Natural’s Not In It’ had been streamed or downloaded through paid online services, almost 7000 times. That netted me $17.35."
10:27.51mindbndrhave the olympics started?
10:27.59wethrinYes
10:28.00mindbndrit must be as the trains were fucked
10:28.09wethrinbut the opening ceremony hasn't happened yet
10:28.13wethrinand they've already screwed up
10:28.14mindbndrah
10:28.16mindbndrwas about to ask that
10:28.28mindbndrso if there's no open ceromony, how can it start?
10:28.47wethrinBecause this is the UK? :)
10:29.03mindbndrthey can do the ceromony at the end as well
10:29.12mindbndropening and closing at the same time
10:29.30mindbndrthat'd save some money.
10:30.03mindbndrthere were 2 additional staff in the station, standing in the platform
10:30.17mindbndrso I said, do you know why the trains are delayed for half an hour
10:30.21mindbndrthey said "we're not sure"
10:30.30mindbndrso I said "do you know if this is ever gonna improve"
10:30.50mindbndrso they said "during the olympics, it's subject to delays" or something like that
10:31.06mindbndrso i said "well, it's been horrendous in the last 2 years"
10:31.19mindbndrso they said that they only started to work today
10:31.56mindbndrnow I'm convinced, it's only gonna get better.
10:36.18AndyMillarI'm actually suddenly a huge fan of the games lanes
10:49.13mindbndrgames lanes? what is that?
10:49.34mindbndrhave they replaced the bus lanes with games lanes?
10:50.19mindbndrfunny enough, my route is to out of london, so the trains from paddington to oxford/reading is horrendous fyi. If you have any plans to take those trains, I suggest you to walk.
11:03.20LeedsI think they added games lanes
11:26.38ess_tee_uI got a 11:30 out of vic last night, usually dead, absolutely rammed though
12:58.44ChoHagInformation Commissioner's Office has said it is "disproportionate" to demand that every Southampton taxi has CCTV that constantly monitors driver and passengers, including recording all conversations.
12:58.49*** join/#gllug dick_turpin (~peter@host217-34-163-30.in-addr.btopenworld.com)
12:58.50ChoHagDisproportionate. That's good.
13:00.47dick_turpinHave we won the Olympics yet then?
13:01.19ChoHagDecades ago.
13:01.46ChoHagWe should move on to something useful like space travel.
13:02.48dick_turpinPah that's so last year, all the cool kids are into time travel.
13:03.13ChoHagThe advantage to space travel, though, is that it's real.
13:05.36wethrinWe all travel through time
13:05.42dick_turpinI don't believe it, them moon landings was filmed at Pine Street. Plus of course everyone knowns the earth is carried on the back of a giant turtle.
13:05.53wethrinExcept people who live in Glasgow. They're stuck in the 70s
13:06.27dick_turpinwethrin: Do they think Bay City Rollers are number 1?
13:07.01ChoHagThey just travel in a loop.
13:07.04ChoHagLike groundhog day.
13:07.22ChoHagLike their ancestors, who thought Scotland was a great place to live, they have no sense of direction.
