Time Style

I’ve been remiss in posting more instalments in the Neil chatlog saga, which continues every weekday. Here’s a choice excerpt from yesterday.

Matt: N-P
Neil: M-G
Matt: how was the funeral on friday?
Neil: aye, was OK… mum and sister were pretty upset but my father and I were our usual inappropriate selves
Matt: any Wedding Crashers style action?
Neil: heh nah.. one moderately hot second cousin there who I hadn’t seen for about 10 years but a) I don’t know if that’s too close b) her father was sitting beside her and c) my father was sitting beside me
Matt: right
Matt: 2nd cousin is fine I think
Matt: in the eyes of god and man
Neil: One of my friends was staying with his aunt and cousin in Australia for 3 months and nearly got kicked out for asking at the dinner table whether “It’s OK to marry your cousin in Australia”.
Matt: hah
Neil: To be fair, his cousin is a slamming hottie.
Matt: normal enough question then
Neil: now that’s a collection… http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/28/every-nes-game-ever-on-ebay/
Matt: core!
Neil: you’d never have time to play them all if you bought it though
Matt: you could MAKE TIME
Matt: I mean with a machine
Matt: perhaps called
Matt: The TimeFactory
Matt: and its time-destroying counterpart, the Timeinator
Neil: Timmy The TimeFactory
Matt: well you could name it whatever you wanted yeah
Neil: yeah cause if anyone argued with you you’d go back in time to the day of their conception and kick their dad in the nads
Matt: TIME STYLE
Matt: that qualifier should be applied to all activities performed during time-travel
Matt: I totally watched the Norman Conquest…
Matt: … TIME STYLE!
Matt: etc
Matt: I’m changing that to just the Battle of Hastings
Neil: ok
Matt: you probably wouldn’t want to be away for that long
Matt: it probably smelled pretty bad
Matt: and you’d find out that all the buxom wenches were in fact diseased, toothless illiterates
Neil: agreed
Matt: ugh
Matt: ThePast–;
Matt: though
Neil: yeah, and they’d be all hairy and disease ridden
Matt: ThePast(withTimecopStyleUzis)++;
Neil: and guitars
Neil: Bill and Ted style
Matt: WYLD STALLYNS
Neil: hrm this is a little worrying… I contribute to a share purchase plan at work and it seems the money coming out of my pay cheque hasn’t actually made it to the share account at any point. If I go to the web site I can’t log in with my details. If I enter my username it sends me my username and password I then try to log in with those and it won’t work…
Neil: so i phone them and the woman claims that my username isn’t the one that the website tells me it is..
Neil: but she can’t tell me over the phone so it’s coming snail mail
Matt: hrm
Matt: bizarre
Neil: it’s even weirder… I phoned the automated voice unit there and it recognises that the shares are in my account. but the paper statement received last week doesn’t have them included.
Neil: heads are going to roll
Neil: … TIME STYLE
Matt: TIME STYLE!

Update: Another snippet, this time from this very afternoon:

1:38:41 pm  Matt: do you recycle?
1:39:02 pm  Neil: Not in my flat, no.
1:39:27 pm  Neil: They don’t give recycling bins and such so it’s too much hassle
1:39:32 pm  Neil: THE PLANET ISN’T WORTH MY TIME
1:40:09 pm  Matt: unless, presumably, you were in fact Captain Planet
1:40:17 pm  Matt: (he’s a hero)
1:40:59 pm  Neil: I heard something about him reducing pollution to zero.
1:41:06 pm  Neil: which I think is essentially impossible.
1:41:09 pm  Neil: He’s all talk, no action.
1:41:57 pm  Matt: and green hair too, as I recall. I’ve never trusted people with green hair. He needs to get a real job and perhaps contact his local representative to take his anti-pollution message through the proper channels.
1:43:05 pm  Neil: I completely agree.
1:43:07 pm  Neil: He’s a menace.
1:43:30 pm  Matt: he shall have to be dealt with
1:43:36 pm  Neil: TIME STYLE
1:43:36 pm  Matt: TIME STYLE
1:43:41 pm  Neil: hah
1:43:53 pm  Matt: that shows as the same second here
1:44:22 pm  Neil: I think that’s worthy of being added to your latest blog post
1:44:26 pm  Neil: with timestamps for the last part
1:44:28 pm  Matt: I agree

Lazy freelancers.

Pfft, I’m no freelancer! I just have quite a liberal employer who doesn’t block MSN…
