Are any of you non car-reading thread people going to Goodwood this year?

Coff What's Goodwood? coff

No, I might do Gaywood though.

The Festival of Speed. You get to watch pretty cars all day.

If you like F1, it's pretty much the only place outside of F1 that the teams seem to be interested in taking part in.

Are those tiny helpless baby birds dead, Kissyfur?

I didn't have a chance to check - I'll try and look tonight. Fingers crossed.

Things I never expected to see on my "to do" list -

"Get bull semen from Esther".

MaliA · **Posted:** Thu Jun 17, 2010 12:15

I'm none too happy. Dentist told mr off and showed me how to brush my teeth. And I need a filling. Feel very sad and aprehensive now. She also failed to spot my existing filling.

As you normally get your bull semen from Jane?

I'm tired and bored. Thought this lunch break could be amusingly spent surfing the net, but when actually sat down in front of staff room computer couldn't think of a single interesting thing to investigate.

Also, I can't think of anything to take a photo of. I've been scratching my noggin' and I worry I've run out of local things to snap. What else is there in Cardiff? Help!

Come to Hemel and take pictures of... "The Magic Roundabout"!

How about some wildlife? You tend to take portraits and landscapes mostly, might be a nice change for you. Maybe some Macro stuff? Love a good bug hunt I do, and the kit lens we have is decent enough for it.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Jun 17, 2010 13:06

You could maybe start planning for the camping meet on the 21st August too, Pete.

I've felt like that for two years now. Hopefully the tinkerers' meet will spark something in me again, and hopefully I'll be back on the road (in a car, natch) fairly soon, so I can get out into the countryside.

You should have read the new article from J Nash... I've just seen someone post a link for it on Twitter and it's quite amusing. (The article... not the link)

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Jun 17, 2010 13:14

Is it a secret link?

TheVision · **Posted:** Thu Jun 17, 2010 13:23

Not at all.. It's just that I was looking at Twitter on my phone and posting this from my work PC.. let me see..

Yeah.. try this...

NervousPete · **Posted:** Thu Jun 17, 2010 13:25

Link me please! I love me some J Nash.

Good thinking, Zardoz. A bug hunt would be interesting. I shall try for it. Also! Maybe I should try taking some amusing indoor stuff, like that piggy on the bath I did. Instead of going out trying to find shots all the time maybe should I mix it up by creating my own. *Strokes chin*

Yeah, think I’ll try that tonight.

As for the meet on the 21st August; no can do I’m afraid. I’m off to the Green Man Festival. Joanna Newsom! The Unthanks! Flaming Lips! Hawk and a Hawksaw! Hail the Planes! Mumford & Sons (far, far better live than their sadly average recordings suggest) Pie Minister!

Would like to see you guys soonish though. ?:|

You should expand on the piggy pic, would be nice to make it into a set.

Been thinking of taking some indoor stuff too recently, got a small light box from work that I'd like to mess with taking pics of my collectable toys and things. Also, I keep hoarding translucent plastics and glass to mess with... although I'm not sure what to do. I'll just have a muck about I guess.

Shame you can't make the camping meet, but yeah, we'll have to sort out something.

Mrs Squirt freaked out hugely yesterday after finding a slow worm in our garden. I'm tempted, in the name of SCIENCE, to tell her that I looked it up and it was actually an viperous, poisonous Adder, just to see how traumatised she'll get.

Or you could conduct an experiment to see if she freaks out more when she finds a slow worm indoors. Just to compare. Maybe you could do a room-by-room test too.

Good plans all. I'm going to need another wife, to act as a control.

Zardoz · **Posted:** Thu Jun 17, 2010 14:07

Glue an action mans arms and legs to it and place it next to a book on magic then from the next room scream, "HELP ME! HELP ME!"

kalmar · **Posted:** Thu Jun 17, 2010 14:09

Then ask it to file the book on a shelf, in correct alphabetical order.

I need a drink. I need a certain type of drink.....

Who's got the BEEX time machine today? Can you pop back to 1986 and get me one of these? I have 26p in 1986 legal tender for you.

No-ones posing on top of it so I'm declaring it to be a fake!

We have slow worms in our garden. They are acebest. Mrs Squirt is a loon.

That is all.

I couldn't find a picture of Pete, so I used Lave instead.

You don't need a time machine, just a ticket to South America!

I thought that was Andy Bear to start with.

We've got quite a few interchangeable Beexers, it seems. Which'll be handy if we lose one.

Get yourself down to Tesco - steer yourself world food aisle and get some Sun Exotic Tropical. 3 cans for £1.

To my ageing taste buds it's pretty close.

I know - we're ankle deep in slugs half the time so I'd like to encourage the little fellows.

I have asked my South American agent to see if he can locate some Quatro. Lucky I retain my sinister underground network from my days as an international ninja spy.
