Airport, you've got a smiling face

[venta]

Can anyone confirm/deny the continued existence of the Heathrow/Gatwick Tube ? Looking online for it last night, I couldn't find anything about it, let alone a timetable.

The airline bus (the blue one) which now runs has timetables on line (did it replace the Tube ?), but sadly they weren't very obliging. If someone in Oxford wants to be in Gatwick for 7am, they can either catch the 5:15 bus and be late, or catch the 4am bus and be stupidly early.

All of which explains why, by 7am this morning, I was already driving back round the M25, boogying to Walk of Life. Well, all right, nothing really explains the Dire Straits.

I love the smell of benzine in the morning.

We're talking The Motors, aren't we?
"Dancing the night away" doomp-doomp
"Dancing the night away"
Am I close, or in totally the wrong universe?

Yup. Well, we were talking Airport, by The Motors. But you can sing Dancing The Night Away if you wish :)

(I can't because I don't know the words well enough. Dum dum dum dum, dum dum dum dum dum, taking the band on the road. )

Ha! Airport by The Motors is the greatest song ever created in my oh-so-humble opinion. Tao insiders will note that I nominated it for the first TTWICM compilation. Good to see it getting quoted here.

Regrettably most of their other stuff, Dancing The Night Away included, impressed me less.

Indeed, I just popped back to TTWICM to have a listen to it :)

Incidentally, do you have any idea why Rat might be absolutely dog slow ? I know it's likely to be busy, but I can't even listen to a single track off it - just get buffering errors. Is this just me distorting technology again ? Onebyone doesn't seem to be having problems with it, cos I asked.

I think it's running on _really_ underpowered hardware. I dunno why some people are ok and not others, though. Maybe Rat is just Vindictive and Nasty. Failing that, you could get the secret copies off iweb or a CD from the library (if they're all out, Jay has one as well).

For the benefit of non-Tao'ers, we should probably take this thread to regular email!

So. Today:

Rat hates me. Dan's machine hates me. The stuff I'm working on hates me. Vodafone, Evesham and HMV, in their individual ways, all hate me.

I think I'll go and eat worms.

I don't hate you. I expect that's quite a comfort, at least. :-)

<Homer Simpson>Mmmm, worms!</Homer Simpson>

I remembered that. Except that I didn't know you were him, so to speak.

Another one to add to my collection !

Drat. I've broken cover!

[venta.livejournal.com]

Put it down, and go somewhere else. No one will know it was you that broke it.

[wimble.livejournal.com]

Ah, but it was venta that caused something to break.

Yet again.


(Well, if it wasn't me, I'm sure snowleopard would have pointed it out.)

You mean snow_leopard, but yes :)

See. You've broken my link too!
