[10:11] <brobostigon> morning boys and girls.
[10:12] <bashrc> morning
[10:13] <brobostigon> morning bashrc
[14:16] <ChunkzZ> is it me or is the UK freezing right now?!
[14:17] <bashrc> it's not freezing here
[14:17] <zmoylan-pi> 1-2 degress above freezing
[14:17] <zmoylan-pi> so no
[14:19] <SuperEngineer> It's not freezing here... I know that because there's no ice out there.  However, juust gone out for a walk... darn right it's effing cold out there! :D
[14:19] <ChunkzZ> SuperEngineer, my room is like ice. FREEZING!
[14:19] <ChunkzZ> was snowing last night too. dahell?!
[14:19] <SuperEngineer> [decided playing games from the Steam sale is a much better idea!
[14:20] <bashrc> yes, it's cold
[14:21] <SuperEngineer> ChunkzZ, if you're 18+ champagne is the answer... freeze it in your room, drink it... *you* will no longer feel the cold!
[14:21] <ChunkzZ> lmao I'm 25 but don't drink.
[14:22] <SuperEngineer> darn!
[14:24] <zmoylan-pi> so your choices for this weather are drink tea, coffee, cocoa, bovril, hot chocolate
[14:27] <SuperEngineer> ...or gravy
[14:27] <zmoylan-pi> your bloodstream is probably 10% gravy right now
[14:28] <SuperEngineer> 10% ++
[15:11] <ali12341> hot vimto
[15:24] <popey> Cheeky vimto!
[15:24] <popey> that'll sort you out
[15:29]  * SuperEngineer checks his can for vimto for cheeks
[15:31] <SuperEngineer> nope - definitely no cheeks!  phweeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww
[15:42] <popey> it's delicious!
[15:43] <ChunkzZ> I need food. I can't cook. ideas?
[15:44] <SuperEngineer> errrmm?  learn to cook?
[15:45] <SuperEngineer> or find a really good take away?
[15:45] <ChunkzZ> no money, spent all my money on Christmas. :/
[15:45] <SuperEngineer> [yeah, the latter may be harder than the former]
[15:47] <SuperEngineer> got amy beand in cupboard? add bread. add any sauce.  food!
[15:47] <SuperEngineer> *beans
[15:48] <ChunkzZ> yeah sounds like a good idea. :D
[15:50] <SuperEngineer> and add a touch of #ubuntu-uk - magic!
[16:45] <ChunkzZ> can't beat #ubuntu-uk magic! ;)
[17:28] <penguin42> M&S really needs to fix their systems; I do a click-n-collect on a sale item, then get a phone call saying it's going to be a day late; go into a store, find the same thing on the shelf and it's a hastle to try and just say give me that instead
[17:37] <zmoylan-pi> you can't argue with the system, it's always /right/
[17:38] <penguin42> eventually they owned up they could let me buy them again and they'd do the cancel tomorrow and give me a slip to say they will; whether I believe them is a different matter, what a broken system
[17:38] <zmoylan-pi> they're luring you into a trap so that they can arrest you as a shop lifter as you leave :-P
[17:39] <penguin42> haha
[17:40] <zmoylan-pi> then they give you another slip so that you can come in at your convenience for the body cavity search...
[17:41] <zmoylan-pi> it's all about the personal touch... :-)
[17:41]  * penguin42 doesn't want that type of personal touch
[17:42] <zmoylan-pi> doesn't matter wether you want it or not, you have a slip that needs to be countersigned...
[17:42]  * penguin42 gulps
[18:10] <ChunkzZ> SuperEngineer, found paste an sauce in my cupboard. microwaveable! epic win! :D
[18:17] <penguin42> paste vs pasta?
[18:18] <zmoylan-pi> might be a poor student living off ketchup packets... :-)
[18:19] <penguin42> it's really difficult to give away a part used packet of pasta; I was at a business meeting at the start of the month where I stayed in an apartment for the night and just bought some pasta in a supermarket and tried to give the remains away to my colleagues, very hard
[18:23] <ChunkzZ> oh, sorry. was typing too fast! :(
[19:27] <DJones> Argghhh. Don't you just hate it when you've spent 6 hours making conversation with somebody at a christmas family get together and in the last few minutes they drop into the conversation that they used to work at Bletchley Park
[19:28] <zmoylan-pi> during wwii? or now as touristy place?
[19:29] <zmoylan-pi> i heard at an aunts funeral that she had corresponded with gb shaw who's a hero of mine...
[19:30] <DJones> Just after WW 2
[19:31] <zmoylan-pi> neato
[19:31] <zmoylan-pi> probably used bits of collosus as paper weights :-)
[19:37] <DJones> Next time I see him, I ll have to ask him abiout Alan Turing
[19:37] <zmoylan-pi> though it was a big place with a *LOT* of people
[19:38] <DJones> True, but the well known names will be known
[19:39] <DJones> Oh,  and can somebody please shoot the Dr Who scriptwriters for the current series....It was aweful
[19:39] <zmoylan-pi> full of awe or awful?
[19:40] <zmoylan-pi> :-)
[19:40] <DJones> Heh, full of something, probably most likely from the back endd of cow
[19:42] <DJones> I know a lot of people don't like Capaldi as the doctor because he's older, but thats not it for me, just the scripts have no passion or "get up & go"
[19:43]  * penguin42 watched the first Capaldi one - not watched Dr Who in ages - I like him, don't like the scripts
[19:43] <zmoylan-pi> the scripts are more kiddie scifi with more emphasis on fantasty on the few episodes i saw since reboot.  ok but nothing to write home about
[19:43] <DJones> penguin42: My thoughts exactly
[20:04] <diddledan> morning
[20:09]  * m0nkey_ tickles the diddledan 
[20:09]  * diddledan giglges
[20:09] <diddledan> ello m0nkey_
[20:09]  * m0nkey_ waves
[20:11]  * zmoylan-pi surfs
[20:57] <Myrtti> I wonder if I'm having a problem with the new laptops Haswell wifi.
[20:57] <Myrtti> atleast the symptoms match, but this should be fixed with the new kernel in Utopic
[20:57] <Myrtti> I'd thought
[20:58] <zmoylan-pi> try a different distro on usb drive to see if problem persists?
[21:48] <Azelphur> hehe, I had a hilarious conversation with Amazon live chat
[21:50] <Azelphur> "that king size bed I just bought, are you delivering it to inside the home, or outside?" "outside" "ok when are you delivering it so I can arrange to have someone help me on the day" "some time between the 12th and the 15th" "...maybe you aren't understanding, I live alone...do you expect me to carry a king size bed across my apartment complex by myself?" *2 minutes on hold* "Oh...we'll deliver it to your home"
[21:50] <Azelphur> xD
[21:52] <zmoylan-pi> you don't have log rollers and a team of lads on standby 24x7?? :-)
[21:52] <Azelphur> exactly, hahaha
[21:53] <zmoylan-pi> when i got my first computer my brothers girlfriends offered me an old table as a desk for it.  i just had to transport it 2 miles by myself.
[21:54] <zmoylan-pi> so on a hot sunny day i walked there, and found it was an expanding table with extending section builtin.  weighed a LOT.  so carried it on my back home walking bent double, downhill thankfully.
[21:55] <zmoylan-pi> by the time i got home you could take my pulse just by looking at veins in my forehead
[21:55] <zmoylan-pi> then had to carry it up 3 flights of stairs to my bedroom...
[21:55] <Azelphur> haha ouch
[21:55] <zmoylan-pi> to find that 1 leg was 1" too long to fit in room....
[21:56] <zmoylan-pi> i tried every permutation to get that table in.  so cut off 2" of one leg, glued it back on after i got it in.  did a really good job to confuse the person who decides to remove that table to make them wonder how i got it in
[21:57] <zmoylan-pi> but after all that effort there was NO WAY it wasn't going in
[22:02] <Azelphur> hehe
[22:02] <Azelphur> zmoylan-pi: it's gonna be fun fitting a king size into the smallest bedroom in my place
[22:03] <zmoylan-pi> remember to put a few litres of water in fridge so that you have something to help cool you down afterwards, that's what works for me
[22:04] <Azelphur> nah, I'll have someone come over and help me do it once its in
[22:04] <zmoylan-pi> ah the sensible approach, we'll be having none of that now!! :-)
[22:06] <Azelphur> hehe
