jelly

…reply to a post

vodka jelly… and space cakes… a delightful recipe for ruin
once, at a party i sat in a huge cardboard box (out of my box?) all night long
for entertainment i balanced globubules of vodka jelly (vegetarian natch) on my forehead then rolled them down off the end of my nose and caught them on my tongue. yeucchhh
sorta eddie the eagle ski ramp stylee
it’s good when you invent an entire olympic sport in your head…. suprisingly never caught on

whats jelly roll tho’? John Martyn warbles pleasantly and incoherently about it and then there was jelly roll morton
i’ve always imagined it to be something to do with heroin and something to do with pianos?

Coding Dojo

from Madeline who used to work here:

“This Thursday (19:00-22:00) there is a coding Dojo being held at the University of Sussex as part of the Fringe Festival. Tickets are £3 (you can buy them from the fringe festival ticket office or by contacting info@brightoncodingdojo.co.uk), but there is plenty of free food and drink at the event to be guzzled.

The Dojo is set up to let everyone experiment with coding in a non-competitive, collaborative, fun environment. Everyone is welcome, from beginner to Jedi master.

See http://www.brightoncodingdojo.co.uk/night.html for more information about the night. ”

If you can think of any way to make this sound more appealing to the other programmers, then edit as you will.

Most of the programmers at the university don’t have beards.

i’ll be going!

yesterday one of those ‘not in service’ ghost buses whizzed past me as i was waiting at the stop.
This ones number was ‘666’ destination Devils Dyke. scooby dooby doo!

…in further developments i read somewhere that Sussex Women are ‘sposed to have longer legs than them in other parts of the country.
apparently it’s on account of them having to haul themselves out of the claggy quicksquelch mud out up on the downs

Whilst the big church in Steyning was founded by St Cuthelme, who was on his way from Devon to Canterbury, he was pushing his aged and ailing mother in a wheelbarrow!
when he got to Steyning, apparently he had a visionary dream, so next morning the Jimmy Nail lookalike declared ‘i’m reet shagged ma. let’s build a church here’. fact!

A good friend of mine also told me that the logo of an Apple for Apple computers is in fact an homage to Alan Turing, legendary boffin, famous for the ‘Turing test’ and cracking the Enigma code
In a sad tale, Turing was caught cottaging, persecuted by the authorities, who insisted he have Testosterone injections. barbaric
he probably committed suicide, it is believed he killed himself with a cyanide laced apple
tragic and oddly reminiscent of Snow White
apple pips themselves are said to contain miniscule traces of cyanide

For Andy and Rohan
………….

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
