12:17.29dick_turpinmorsing: What about the badgers?
12:49.02morsing~We still haven't seen any
12:49.22morsingEven though we live 2 miles down from a sign saying "Badgers 6 miles"
12:58.18dick_turpinmorsing: That's nothing, I pass a sign saying "Humps for the next 2 miles" I still haven't seen a camel?
13:00.01morsingI've never seen any humped zebras crossing roads either
13:06.40dick_turpinAnd I waited all day the other week to see one at a pelican crossing! I have a feeling the pelicans have all moved on?
13:33.56gregjmorsing: that's cos you live 2miles , not 6 miles away from it dummy
13:34.14gregjdick_turpin: that goes on twitter
13:38.45dick_turpingregj: Was it? I'll fooking sue! I just thought that one up. Plagiarising bastid.
13:39.37gregj:-)
13:43.08dick_turpingregj: Actually I misread what you wrote, I thought you was insinuating I'd got that off Twitter and not that you intended to post it to Twitter. Feel free but remember all my stuff is CC-BY-SA :-P
13:43.55FishermansEnemychecks IRC, lurking in 12 channels
13:44.09FishermansEnemynotices only #gllug is talking
13:44.25FishermansEnemynotices #gglug is talking about badgers
13:44.31wethrinI wouldn't say what dick_turpin does is talking
13:44.59gregjdick_turpin: I'll share the profits and costs I bare from Twitter
13:45.30gregjdick_turpin: I'm often misunderstood, don't worry
13:47.51dick_turpinwethrin: How dare you! I cant believe you of all people would be so insulting to me? morsing yes, but he's and idiot, you though? I'm, I'm extremely disappointed
13:48.41morsingFishermansEnemy: Hmm... I saw you enter some other channel...
13:48.47morsingCan't remember which one now
13:49.03wethrindick_turpin: Surely you know me well enough that you'd know that I, of all people, *would* be so insulting!
13:49.21FishermansEnemyI enter a lot of channels. I'm promiscusos like that ;)
13:50.11dick_turpinwethrin: I have arranged for RMS to come round to your gaff and flick toe crud at you.
13:51.48wethrinEwwww
14:08.09gregjhow far away from London one has to live, to be able to rent a house for £500pm , can be in the middle of nowhere
14:10.44wethrinCome to Newcastle!
14:13.27dick_turpinWatford?
14:14.33dick_turpinThe average round my way is £500 but I think we're a bit far away until HS2 gets built.
14:34.59gregjI'm contemplating move from NI to England again
14:35.10gregjbut I will be mostly doing contracts in the city
14:35.17gregjat the same time I don't want to live in the city
14:35.20gregjits a shitty place to live in
14:35.40gregjbut I'll miss 10-15 minute commute I have now
14:35.43gregjin my own car
14:36.14dick_turpinLive in your car
14:36.24gregj:d
14:38.00gregjI'm trying to find a contract (software contract) for 2-3 soft engineers, so for I'm failing in my quest (just asking people around)
14:38.04gregjwhat am I donig wrong...
14:38.26AndyMillargregj: I commute from nn10 to w11
14:38.29AndyMillarit's not so bad
14:39.31gregjthat doesn't tell me much in terms of distance
14:39.38gregjwhere I live, all postcodes start with BT
14:39.46gregjuniformely around the country
14:41.53AndyMillargregj: 70-80 miles a day
14:42.39dick_turpingregj: You'll find it very different over here from where you live. For starters they don't really like donkeys and carts in the city centre so you'll have to leave what you euphemistically call a car in the suburbs.
14:42.49gregj:-)
14:43.10gregjI got 2.0 donkeys and a cart call insignia
14:43.17gregj*called
14:43.17dick_turpinAhahahaha
14:43.47gregj(with belfast accent) it moves bey, aye
14:45.03dick_turpinThere's no cars left in Belfast, they've all been burnt
14:46.09gregj:=]
14:46.51gregjit's actually not so bad, the riots and such are all happening in certain areas, rest of the country just 'keeps carrying on', or 'does the job', depending which side you ask
14:49.01gregjone thing worying me about England tho, is all this muslim crap
14:49.13gregjcertainly from where I am, it seems worse then troubles in NI
14:49.23gregjbut I bet you its just the media and journalists
14:54.05gregj(with belfast accent again, about the donkey)she's a quar motor hai
14:54.11gregjheh
14:57.03gregjit always makes me angry, when people moving over to a country don't respect local laws, and local ways. I walked around east london few months ago, and number of polish shops was just annoying. (even tho I was born in that country long time ago)
15:03.30gregjthere are some people commuting from Londonderry to belfast and back every day, but I don't know if I could do that
15:03.37gregjnot only it's like 1.5h drive either way
15:03.49gregjbut it must be huge pocket drain
15:04.20AndyMillar15:49:23 < gregj> but I bet you its just the media and journalists
15:04.21AndyMillar^^ it is
15:04.46dick_turpingregj: Bunch of twats. The mosque with the bomb is about 15 mile from me. These places are beautiful, you ought to see the one in Birmingham. It's no t like NI as such this is just idiots wanting to start trouble and mosques are easy targets
15:05.42gregjI am more talking about guys coming over, and treating english peolpe like they all have to convert to islam
15:05.57gregjI susspect that journalists are twats, they are same everywhere
15:06.11gregjtwisting reality
15:06.31dick_turpinThing is they've had no choice but to mount security at these places which in turn means the chav's will use that as an excuse to up the steaks. Having said that I cant blame the Muslim community for closing ranks
15:06.32gregjI wonder how much hatred there is against Poles (even with british passports) in England
15:06.42gregjin here people are curious about foreigners, not hostile
15:07.25gregjmainly because there isn't so many of them here (yet)
15:08.19gregjI went to Vauxhall garage in Leicester on other day, and the sales man asked friend of mine (Pole too, just moved there) - if he wants some extra insurance for 3 years - and then said 'if you stay here that long'..
15:08.23gregjI couldn't believe
15:08.43gregjactually it was in coalville, close to Leicester
15:08.50AndyMillargregj: easy, the less people get offended by stupid shit, the less it's a problem
15:09.03AndyMillarit's like the linux kernel mailing list stupid rubbish from the other day
15:09.18AndyMillarif they weren't so f'ing sensitive it wouldn't be a problem, would it?
15:09.42gregjAndyMillar: yeah, I did let that slip, we bought the car from the guy anyway
15:09.58gregjAndyMillar: of course I could have said 'excuse me?', and ask for management, move to different sales man
15:10.15gregjAndyMillar: but why give him satisfaction, it was just a stupid remark, otherwise he was fine
15:10.25gregjbut I do sometimes feel like people treat me lesser, when the find out my name
15:10.34AndyMillargregj: but then you'd have made the comments he was making have meaning, which is the problem
15:10.42gregj(I do apparently speak with a very local accent, so some people don't even realise I'm nto from here until I have to spell my surname)
15:11.12gregjI always say, that being offensive is a problem of a person offended, unless they are forced to deal with me
15:11.12AndyMillargregj: well, if you will come over here and steal all our jobs ;)
15:11.20gregjyeah right
15:11.29gregjI came over to NI, because they begged me to do it
15:11.34Leedsbloody foreigners
15:11.38gregjcouldn't find anyone local with the skills and knowledge of postgresql and linux
15:11.43gregjwilling to do the job
15:11.49AndyMillargregj: quite :)
15:11.53gregjLeeds: said guy with two nationalities ;p
15:12.03LeedsI only have one nationality
15:12.10AndyMillarI think I'm probably the only actually british person on my team :-p
15:12.12Leedsit happens to be different from my residency :)
15:12.14AndyMillar(maybe there are 2)
15:12.26gregjLeeds: I was talking more about being jewish ;p
15:12.33gregjAndyMillar: where are the others from ?
15:12.47Leedsgregj: erm, what?
15:13.00Leedsbeing Jewish isn't a nationality
15:13.01AndyMillarPoland, Australia, Russia (or close enough, but not Poland)
15:13.21gregjLeeds: not nationailty, sorry, but I always find it like being cheering two teams at the same time
15:13.22AndyMillarSri Lanka, South Africa
15:13.30gregjAndyMillar: all over the show then
15:13.43gregjAndyMillar: I used to get asked (before 2004) if I'm russian
15:13.56gregjAndyMillar: these days, anything foreign sounding 'eastern' is polish..
15:14.05dick_turpinAre you Russian?
15:14.09gregjhell no
15:14.18AndyMillargregj: yep, it's the Australians that annoy me, bunch of criminals. We tried to get rid of them by deporting them, and the f'ers came back and stole our jobs ;-p
15:14.19dick_turpinRussians scare me
15:15.13AndyMillargregj: actually, I really don't care where people are from, I dislike all people equally :)
15:15.20gregjthey are kind of like americans, but even more primitive and their language is funny
15:15.27gregjAndyMillar: hahaha
15:16.26gregjLeeds: you'd know, is it true that if you're Jewish you can claim Israeli passport at any time ? (just curious)
15:16.40Leedsapproximately true, yes
15:16.46gregjjust like being irish, means you can claim UK passport anytime you want
15:17.08gregjif your cousin line is correct of course
15:17.47gregjI actually tend to pick places where there's most locals, to work in, to live in, etc
15:18.29gregjthere's few Indians here, rest is local
15:18.51gregjNI is odd this way, even seing a black person is an oddity here
