Pointless But It Does My Head In

[Itchy & Scratchy]

The buzzing sound some speakers make when mobile phones are in their vicinity.
Family politics.

Various sound files on my iPod deciding to speed themselves up a bit, apparently at random. Is this even possible? Making me question my sanity.

 

[4linehaiku]

Yeah it's certainly possible. Unfortunately it will be caused by some sort of corruption of the files, unless it's a limited edition Dissensus ipod. If you bought one of them the problem is a tiny community of elves (from London, but now living inside your ipod) pushing the pitch to +8, gradually incorporating Jamaican soundsystem culture, and generally increasing the perceived 'rudeness' of your MP3s.

The 'spilling pints' poltergeist. For the last 10 days, it's been stalking me. I upended 3 in 3 nights, totally soaking the people I was sitting with. Then, on Tues night this week, 3 separate groups in the same pub spilt their pints over each other. Tonight, my mate Kate knocked one over on another friend, and I nearly did again, while gesticulating wildly. Then, as we were all leaving, someone near the door knocked his all over the table. I haven't spilt my / watched others spill their pint(s) in over 10 years, but it's all kicking off now, and in the same pub. Maybe it's haunted, who knows...

though you did once spill a pint over idlerich. anyway, I'm sat listening to ozric tentacles, so what do i know.

 

[martin]

Oh shit...I forgot about that one.
Oh and on myself in Wapping.
Oh, and in June, trying to swat a fly.

Haha, I was just thinking about when Rich met some Dissensians (other than me) for the first time a couple of years back and later told me "Yeah, they all seem pretty sound, although one clumsy cunt threw his pint all over me".

Hang on, HANG on. Why is ANYONE listening to Ozric's fucking Tentacles?

 

[STN]

I have a new policy at work whereby anyone who either gives a wildly disproportionate yelp of surprise, or does an irritating C3PO style reeling dance of confusion, when I come through a door in the opposite direction to them, does not get the door held open for them.

I bet I didn't use those exact words - anyway, I can't really take the moral high ground after the red wine/computer incident on Friday. Please tell me it's working now Ollie....

Ha, I was going to say something like "I might not be around much for a while due to laptop difficulties" so as not to mention what actually happened, but you've spilled (ahem) the beans now so that doesn't matter. I'll try it again this evening - couldn't get a signal to the screen when I turned it on again on Sunday. I'm on someone else's at the moment.

 

[alex]

Uh-oh - how about now?

 

[UFO over easy]

crap, brutally shrill sound systems which could potentially sound good if the engineer spent any time listening

It looks pretty knackered to be honest, but it may well be salvageable, or partly so...I'm staying with the family at the moment but will get Joe to have a look at it when I get back to London. I'll let you know what the verdict is then. Or rather, my legal team will.

(Joking, just to make that absolutely clear. It'll be my hitman.)

 

[Amplesamples]

Audio leads (and especially headphones leads) that are curly-wurly telephone leads - what is the bloody point of them? They only get tangled!!!

Um... how much will it cost to replace?
