We're little mongrels / we've lost our sheepfuxors / we don't know where to find them

and good morning.

Ha, no sorry, I wouldn't even know where to start looking.

Oh it was actually the Neighbours set/lot I visited, not the commercial tour.

It was weird, dingy, and gave me heeby-jeebies.
They had some awesome old unused analogue equipment still sitting there in different rooms.

Paul f---ing R0bins0n was friendly.

Did his leg fall off?

Do you like the thread title?

loves it.

It's great, only I keep reading it in a sing-song voice, all pantomime-like. BEHIIIIND YOU LITTLE BO PEEP.

Haha Paul Fucking Robinson.

Mikey's gf should totally have made those cafepress tshirts.

Why did we start a new thread?

Can cunce believe this (on Moreland road)

I'm... not familiar with the kind of thing I am seeing.

WTFH is that!?

Oh, a truck.

Haha someone needs to airbrush that crazy santorum/cryingeagle/everything the fuck else montage onto the side of a panel van.

I WOULD SO LEARN TO DRIVE just so I could drive it the hell all over the city.

Do you realise that truck is, in effect, a ute? You can't tow a trailer with it.

and here's one that was parked in my parent's street:

sweeeet rides.

oh yeah, I was going to mention that I used to work in a restaurant next door to this cult's headquarters at Murwi11umbah (far northern NSW). They were fucking crepey dudes

Should read up about them. It's fun to learn.

One of them owned the building the restauant was in, her name was morning cl0ud or some bullshit. Groups of like 20 of them used to come in and eat all the time.

Sorry, that was v. random, but I like telling people about them. I think it's hilarious.
I mean, essentially they're just shonks.
I think they're into teh orgies too. Like most cults I assume.

like anyone!

I was just musing the other day that it would be nice for people here to post links to their other websites. What do you think?

I think that's a great idea.

I said this because the only other cult related individge I knew was a guy who was a raelian and he claimed they were all about group sex. (that was about 8 yrs agough though)

I remember seeing a doco about them - and one thing has stuck with me above all - a concert where a singer sang, to the the tune of Sting's 'An Englishman in NY':

Woo--oh
I'm a Raelian
I'm a legal Raelian
I'm a Raelian
On Planet Earth'

I actually have two friends who were brought up in a cult - the same cult! One of them, in particular, has an almost medieval cosmology. She baulks at my interest in Satanism, to say the least, though I assure her it's all well intentioned (I see it as basically psychoanalysis with more of a theatrical rock n roll schtick - heaven knows psychoanalylists, in Sydney anyway, could use a bit more rock n roll schtick). She sees angels, she sees devils, every day, all because of her upbringing. She works in a fetish shop - chalk another one up for Freud!

The other one didn't listen to music between about 1982-1987, because her cult banned music! Of course, she became a singer in the end - with a real lacuna in her musical knowledge, corresponding to 1982-1987.

srsly, that is so hilarious. love it.

OK anyway, here's where I am:

On that top 8 are various friends, other projects, and Rachael my fine lady.

and here's my current band, with the selfsame Rachael, and a couple of other genuine kooks:

I work at a small accounting firm at k1rra, QLD. Hurray seconded.

(we don't have internet site)

TODAY IS ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF DRUNKEST I HAVE EVER BEEN

Gort eeet, ta.

hi mongs

Hi estela! How goes your week?

LOL ticketmaster acidentally sent everyone who'd ordered sonic youth tix an email about the john butler trio instead.

Way to insult yer demographic =)

tee hee

hi trayce, i went to adelaide, i have never seen so many unattractive young people in my life, we must all be kind to esteban and also esteban must leave there asap, my heart was breaking for him as i strode the gum-stained footpaths listening to amateur thugs shouting inarticulate threats into their phones, i don't know how he stands it.

i have never seen so many unattractive young people in my life

try glasgow more

my heart was breaking for him as i strode the gum-stained footpaths listening to amateur thugs shouting inarticulate threats into their phones

Wait, Adelaide has turned into western Sydney now?

i'm afraid so. at one low point i was squeezed into a elevator with a horde of belching bridesmaids who were complaining in not-dulcet tones about the fake tan stains on their ill-fitting frocks.

Did they hit each other?

no, they were as thick as thieves. i suspected they felt sorry for me for not having giant tattooed breasts, they gave me these supercilious looks. i found the mutual disdain quite enjoyable and they probably did too, so really i should probably call it a high point.

There's a theory that the idea of swearing being rude came from the British middle classes, i.e. those who aspired to something and therefore had cause to arbitrate what is and isn't rude. Neither the upper nor lower classes aspired to be greater, so they swore as much as they liked. What I'm trying to say is that I'm guessing this wasn't the Queen and her daughters in the lift then.

haha, no, but that would have been no better.
kit, tell us more about these glasgow young peoples.

estela, why u not come to see me?? *le sad*

I live in a suburb full of trendy left eternal uni students and lesbians for a start.

Hey I got fired today. *Yay*.

Well. I got told to resign. And paid for it. So I guess thats something.

Wanted to leave anyway but I still feel like a fuckup right now :(

Um, WHAT?? What happened? Are you okay? (slightly disingenuous question because you're probably not)

I'm feeling a bit down and useless but I'll manage. It's been a long time coming with the depression meaning I was away so much (thats what caused this, I was effectively fired for poor performance but they tarted it up nicely cause Ive worked well that aside).

I kind of feel ill, but eh. Whatyagonnado.

Um, do you need any help with that? The depression I mean

Oh no no , thats actually all past me now, thats the ridiculous part. I tried to explain my situation, better myself a little at work, but then I genuinely got sick a couple times from colds and that was the last straw.

Fuck if I can be bothered caring/fighting it though I hated the place anyway.

You weren't that happy there anyway though, were you?

CHANGE == HOLIDAY;

Don't worry Trayce, I am a bit of a psychic about these things and I have been feeling very strongly for a while now that you are on the up n up and no mistake. This is just a clearing process, getting the shit job out of your life to make way for something better. You think I am wrong? I will remind you of this post in 6-8 months.

Heh thankyou :) I must say your post about having a very good feeling about me and Rob did make me smile a lot :)

I also have a good feeling about the Liberals. Just kidding.

onwards and upwards trayce. you need a much more positive working environment. i can't begin to tell you the difference it will make

Aye, I'm quite sure that be so.

That said, I feel like the universe is elbowing me and going "oi, do something you *want* to do for a chance missy" but I dont know what, Ive done IT for so long (even though I really dont care for it that much).

I'd like to somehow work writing into a job but I'm thinking I may need some brushup skills over xmas, maybe a short course. Maybe I will start a blog, ha.

Tech writing?

srsly that's what kept me in IT and got me through depression. There's demand for tech writers too.

Bummer Trayce. No doubt it's a traumatic experience but hopefully you'll find somewhere else thats a bit more fulfilling.

She will.

Life's awesome like that. Change is scary until it happens.

Tech writing's somethign Ive never specifically done. I might see if I can do a bit of online learnin' over xmas so I know what kind of expectations there are for that kind of work .

Bwahaha!

RETIRED broadcaster John Laws filled the air with obscenities at a Sydney restaurant yesterday during a tirade aimed at his radio rivals Derryn Hinch and Bob Rogers.

Laws was dining with a group at his favourite Otto restaurant when he got wind that Hinch, of 3AW and Rogers, of Sydney's 2CH, were at the nearby Salon Blanc restaurant and bar.

With fellow 2UE star Mike Carlton in tow, Laws marched the 100 metres from his table to confront his long-term rivals, witnesses said.

Hinch later said Laws cut a sad, drunken figure with his knuckles planted on their table during the tirade.

"You are both despicable c---s," Hinch said Laws repeatedly told them.

"I don't know what prompted it. And then he said to me: 'Look at you, you are a failed alcoholic'.

"So I said: 'That must make you a successful one'.

I have a grudging respect for Hinch I gotta say.

Trayce, if you want to talk about teh tech writing at some stage let me know and we can do it over drinks or summat.

btw lol about lawsy losing it. I hope he scrubbed their pots with his hair.

lolsy

a building i used to work in just went explody in bourke st

Seems a little convenient you're not working there any more Jim...

I have a grudging respect for Hinch I gotta say.

His book, Fit For Life: The Derryn Hinch Diet is a top read.

A diet book from the biggest wino in The Amber Room? Hmm let me think about that.

ALLEGEDLY

more like Fit For Life of Cirrhosis, rite

You know, some day...maybe soon we should make a new mongrel thread.

Yer.

Hey, it might stimulate conversation.

Love your photo above btw
