[edit] And now for something completely different...

I have discovered Uncyclopedia, which makes me laugh my socks off, and, err.. I'm off. Ta-ta... Look after Macca, Mimi, Julia, Freddie, Mal, Neil, Brian, Cynthia, Stuart and Astrid. andreasegde 22:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

You seem to have difficulty staying away. If you ask nicely I could block your account to make it easier...(heheheheheheheheheheheheheh!) LessHeard vanU 22:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
No, don't do that because then he won't come back. As it is, I'm just holding out til he gets bored on uncyclopedia.--Crestville 00:25, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Ah-hah! Less Heard is just dying to block someone! Haven't you "bust ya cherry" yet? (Goodfellas film) :)) I do come back occasionally, but only as a window-shopping editor, and to see if anyone has totally wiped the pages I worked on. I have noticed some silly things, but Vera took care of them - bless his cotton socks. andreasegde 14:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Crestville is a trick-cyclist! (nudge-nudge...) He's right, but I have to shake off the images of my nose in a book/page numbers/references and the feeling of trying to run neck-deep through mud first... andreasegde 14:54, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Block

This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer for the honourable LessHeard vanU. I request that he "bust his Admin cherry" by blocking me for 24 hours (I'll be elsewhere at the time so I may not even notice, which won't make him feel so bad... :) As I realise that is a very unusual request I will have to give him a really good reason, and here it is: "Yer a Policy Twonk yer are, LessHeard vanU, so stick it up yer orifice or whatever, so you should, by Gad. (Maybe that's not good enough... any ideas, Crestville? :) andreasegde 21:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Good idea, I'll block Crestville on your say-so! LessHeard vanU 20:48, 18 June 2007 (UTC) ps. Of course I have already blocked somebody, but it seems a shame to waste them all on vandals.

[edit] On my travels

By the way, I was in London from the 9th to the 12th of June (last week) and I was in Leeds (a bleedin' expensive £74 day-return) on the 10th. (Me bird thought Leeds was brilliant - even though I only showed her the clean bits). I probably passed by your unkempt back gardens full of motorcycle spare parts on the train but I never thought of you all not once - really I didn't - not at all :) I did enjoy some fish and chips in London (not bad for frozen fish and French Fries) and a few pints of Joshua Tetley's in Leeds, but on the way back to Austria I was forced to give up two - yes two - plastic bottles of HP Brown Sauce at Stanstead Airport, because I forgot to pack them in my suitcase. Apparently they could have destroyed the bleedin' aeroplane - bugger. (I did get a jar of Coleman's mustard through). What's all this bollards about taking yer shoes off at Stanstead? I felt sorry for the poor woman at the machine - what a smelly job... andreasegde 23:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

You was in Leeds and didn't tell me? I could have popped up and say hello! Lord knows I was doing fuck all else.--Crestville 23:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
I was only up there from 11.am to 7.30 pm, picking up stuff my Ma wanted to throw out, like school reports and that sack of cash from the bank job in Ealing - whoops, better not mention that. --andreasegde 12:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
You were in london?? Why didn't you tell me we could have gone on the bevvy!!! Vera, Chuck & Dave 16:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
I did, you scally, but you didn't reply (See your archives) so I thought you weren't interested. I'll be over before Xmas I hope, so it would be nice to try and get together. This includes everybody living in Brit-land. Why pay fortunes for a Wiki-meet or whatever it's called when you can organise one yerself for a pint and a packet of crisps? This could turn into a council of woe-war about how sad the Fabs project is looking lately. --andreasegde 12:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Oh Shit! So you did I didn't see it, I was probley to busy laughing at what you an Joe were on about! Let me know an if I'm not at work then DEFFO pal! Cheers La Vera, Chuck & Dave# Btw, there's someone avin a pop at yer on Macca's talk page, I told em to watch it but you might want to ave a pop back, he's on about Dot!

This is the weirdest case of stalking I've ever been subject to. A very clever and canny thought process. Unfortunately that's not my house. It's my Grandma's house. My house is about 200ft South of there. Still pretty impressive though.--Crestville 13:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
It's elementary, my dear Crestville - you gave the clues on your talk page. I, however, have planted the blue flag directly above where I live in Linz, which is me stalking myself.
P.S. It also means that you love your Granny, and she lives nearby, which is nice. andreasegde 18:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

This is weird. The guy I have been calling "Kingboyk" for the last year in my English class (because I couldn't remember his name and it seemed to fit) looks exactly like the real one!

This is interesting: The Beatles in Australia. Watch the last 30 seconds - they're all doing the Nazi salute and laughing. (John puts his hand to his nose to look like Hitler.) George shouts, "We build tanks, and ships" and "Deutschland über alles...". They did it in Liverpool as well when they returned there to promote the "Hard Day's Night" film. What about the great undiscovered controversy of The Beatles saying, "We're bigger than Adolf"? --andreasegde 07:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict of (dis)interest?

Hmmmm...? There is a little template over at talk:The Raincoats which may prove useful. As long as everything you write can be referenced then I see no problems (in fact I will help if need). ;~) LessHeard vanU 11:26, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Ouch!
Ya got me there, pardner - I will throw my hands in the air and say "Bitte nicht Schießen!" (Please don't shoot!) I have a problem though, and that is I can only reference it myself (there being no books written about a meagre little band that had a couple of hits in Europe.) I even toned down my involvement a lot so as to make it not look too over the top. There 8 references in it, but I will find more (English/European newspaper archives). That Sherlock Holmes sleuth LuciferMorgan spotted my involvement in it about three months ago BTW, so you only get 2nd prize, old bean... :) --andreasegde 15:55, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Don't forget the English language press in Europe. If you had hits (albeit minor) in a country their English language publications would likely made more of it.
Also, you may be interested to know that LuciferMorgan uploads Satan's mp3 player... If you are interested you may like to find something that backs that balderdash up!

I went to the Andrew Edge site... My wife is a big fan of the first TT album ("Set"?) and band, when the people on the stage outnumbered the audience who were provided with percussion instruments (what does that say about the drumbo?) and they all lived in a squat. Was that you, or later? LessHeard vanU 17:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I was just before that, but I still remember the squat (they used a cable from next door for the pilfering of electricity). I lived in Marney Road, Clapham, which was only 10 minutes away and was handy when having an intense band talk - but I still have contact with Pete Dodd. Savage Progress were always in contact with The Twins because we both had the same publisher and rehearsed in the same studio (The Point Studio, Victoria) which was strange as I had left them, although we remained friends. If you ever saw them Live during that time I have a funny story about where their lighting system came from! (Whoops, sorry officer... :) --andreasegde 17:34, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I missed them/you. They/you(?) played Brollies nightclub in Richmond (Surrey) - one of my usual haunts - but I went to Le Chat Noir instead... LessHeard vanU 18:45, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I didn't play that one. I once played "The Pink Toothbrush" in Essex, which was the strangest club name I have ever heard of, and the only audience member was a man in a flat cap with his dog, but he left before the end! :)) I played with them mostly at colleges and universities, a Fire Station squat on the Old Kent Road (hello Vera, Chuck and Dave) and at an under-21 boxing competition in Notting Hill - very strange, but true. I got some e-mails from Pete Dodd a few months ago asking if I was the one responsible for adding extra (intimate/personal) stuff to The Thompson Twins' page, because Tom had been "Googling" and had asked him about it. --andreasegde 19:10, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
...and were you? :~D LessHeard vanU 19:26, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Of course! One always like to know how unimportant one is. Check this out... edge-family-crest.htm I didn't add this to the page, I swear to God (honestly). --andreasegde 19:31, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Wait a minute - Le Chat Noir? Does one have the feeling that the honourable LessHeard vanU drank cocktails? - very 1980s... It's a bit of a change from "The Impotent Dog And The Left-handed Sprocket Wrench" pub on the corner :) --andreasegde 19:40, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It's a small world

In 1978 - 1982 I was working within half a mile of your then home... Toyah Wilcox had recently moved out of the arches under Battersea bridge at the time, possibly because she didn't like the grease dripping from my kebab... Strange world! LessHeard vanU 19:46, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hold on, did you work on Lavender Hill? I remember a kebab shop there on the corner! --andreasegde 19:57, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
By the Lloyds bank? Junction of Queenstown Rd and Battersea Park Rd? LessHeard vanU 20:13, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Bloody 'ell, I didn't frequent that one because I usually made my way up Lavender Hill and bought one on the corner (I'm glad about this, because I once violently threw up after I had eaten one). Bugger me though (not literally) but isn't the world a small place? (What's all this about Toyah Wilcox, BTW?) Clapham was a "happening" place back then, as any self-respecting hippy would say.... (No, I'm not one :)
Forgive me if if I don't reply today, because I am now going to the pub in the hope that I may score a goal for Leeds United (because, God help me, they need a few.) Best wishes... --andreasegde 20:31, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
I used to work in Stewarts Road, off the Wandsworth Road toward Vauxhall, but I used to go to Queenstown Road rail station (which Googlemap doesn't show) past the Dogs Home on Battersea Park Road. If you remembered seeing some guy in a 3-piece pinstripe suit, with dyed red hair (block blonde fringe and various hued highlights), and two tone shoes, that was me going to and from work... Have a good'un Andrew! LessHeard vanU 21:53, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Ahhh... The memories. I stopped on the south side of Chelsea Bridge quite a few times at two in the morning to sample burger and chips from a van that used to park there. They say there were more guns thrown off the bridge than you could count after 'some of the boyz' had done a bank job. Vis-a-vis the taste in clothes: We were all guilty of that. I look at the baggy-arse jeans wearers today and know for sure that in 15 years their mothers will get the photo album out and they'll scream in terror and hide behind the sofa :)) --andreasegde 17:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Indeed. Anyhow, off to block some whippersnappers that seem to believe the the sanctified lawns of WP are to be treated as if they were MySpace or some blog where folk just chat and stuff... oh, wait! LessHeard vanU 18:37, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul is dead, Suggested clues for the rumour "Paul is dead"

Hey there,

I don't know if you are aware or not, but recently Paul is dead was remodelled, in an attempt to begin to bring it back to the standard that got it an FA nomination some time ago. The "Clues" section was cut and placed into a new article, as it was this section that attracted all manner of conspiracy theorists adding their own personal ideas and original research, and made the article too long. Also, some days ago both articles were placed on AfD, but they survived it.

I've done bits on bobs on the articles so far, and extensive work today on the 'suggested clues' article, but should you like to contribute to either, in order to improve them, or indeed if you'd prefer to just post suggestions (on their talk pages, or mine), your help and thoughts as a WP:BEATLES member would be greatly appreciated. Liverpool Scouse 20:36, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks 'Pool Scouse, but I have already put a few references in. The external links supply an awful lot of stuff for references, but I will look at the meagre supply of books I have for some in-line citations. --andreasegde 22:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yo!

Just wanted to say that I finally archived a bunch of stuff from my talk page, to the archive that you so nicely set up for me many months ago where it sat, dormant, until tonight.

"Eye level is buy level" - this is not the (factually proven) case. We all look down to mid-level, as was proven when they put cases of beer on the eye-level shelf in an aisle of baby food. Nobody noticed they were there... Isn't that wierd? --andreasegde 21:32, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

There may be no I in team, but there's two in Martini, as well Andy - and the oh-so-trusting folk at Sainsburys - know. BTW, how the Dory Funk Jr are you forced into working at a supermarchè--Crestville 21:41, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Dory Funk Jr? Have you been at the gin again? Who's that? Supermarchè? I was in London for the first time and I needed a job. I started by collecting trolleys and they put me on fruit and veg and then Beers wines & spirits. I worked in Wandsworth and then Bexleyheath. When I left (because the band I was with had secured a record contract) the manager said, "Pop music comes and goes, but we (Sainsburys) will always be here." That's got to be written in a song one day, don't you think?... :) --andreasegde 23:56, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, Sainsbury's. Memories of buying "Perfectly Ripe Pears" a couple of years ago that actually were perfectly ripe pears. How do you English do it? Tvoz |talk 06:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
I had to think about this: If the pears are ripe, they put them on the perfectly ripe shelf/counter. If they're not, they don't. Simple, huh?
I also think that it could be Sainsburys believing that people don't know when a pear is ripe or not, and so they make it easy. (I don't know if that's an insult to people's intelligence, or just a marketing ploy...) --andreasegde 09:41, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
I was impressed, actually. Thought "oh yeah, right, they'll be perfectly ripe". But they were. In the U.S. of A. they're all too often either hard as a rock or going to mush. As you can see, I take my pears seriously. Tvoz |talk 20:55, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

hahahahahaha.....found out. Tvoz |talk 16:21, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

This little chit-chat between two esteemed colleagues in this little non-profit outfit is highly amusing and I welcome it with open arms. It has given me my first smile of the day (Not really... but I am smiling now:)) --andreasegde 18:00, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Life, as we have to face it

Answer: Absolutely bollocks and shite, but I absolutely refuse to let it piss me off. 3 weeks in Spain and the brother doesn't turn up at all (no apology BTW). Had an english class that said they will take another course but only if Andrew is not teaching it. Could it get any worse? Yes it could, but bugger me if I'm going to let it get me down. There are infinite possibilities out there, so one shouldn't be so down-hearted (which I am not). I'm thinking of signing-on on Wednesday so I can get some of the tax back I have paid over the last 5 years - this is one of the perks of being in the EU. Fuck the fuckin' fuckers. (I am slightly drunk as I write this but I don't give a shit, because it's only beer and not gin... :)) --andreasegde 20:32, 17 September 2007 (UTC) Now the bleedin' thing works!...

P.S. When is Dot Rhone going to get a bleedin' mention in Macca's article? Only when I put her there, that's wot... Macca made her preggers, and it should have a description of his antics and a photo of her and him (which I have). --andreasegde 20:44, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

P.P.S And another thing: Why doesn't Wiki remember my password? It used to do. Having to type my boring password in every time is time-consuming, and very boring. Let's have a laugh and guess what my password is:.................................. (No insults, please...)

I have no idea what any of that means :) 'cept the password thing, my guess is "cuntychops". Ithankyou.--Crestville 21:07, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I was more pissed than I thought. --andreasegde 10:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Andrew dear, the next time you log on, click on that little "Remember me" box and it will remember you, and your password. And/or go to "My preferences" up top and make sure that "Remember my login on this computer" box is checked - or ticked as you would say. Voila, you can be as drunk as you like, yet still be able to log on in one easy step. As for young Crestville - I am without words. Tvoz |talk 15:26, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Tvoz liebling, I have no idea how that little box got unchecked/ticked. I will get the hair shirt out (again) --andreasegde 18:00, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whoops M'Lady

I have just discovered a page about moi/yours truly. This is disconcerting, as I am not allowed to contribute to it, and I wasn't even asked if I would like it. The bugger in question (Dieter Brodnik) is a musician and a stamp collector that wants to push anything remotely connected with Austria into the limelight. He's not a bad sort, but he could have told me first, the git.

P.S. The tosser even found out my first name, which I have valiantly tried to hide for years, in order NOT to be called "Our/R Dave". Bugger. --andreasegde 12:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Wow! I never thought one of us would be worthy. Have you fact checked it?--Crestville 15:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Holy shit - he's the real thing! Really nice and mellow, Andrew! Unless you're actually this one, or this one, or this one, or this one, or oh my God this one, this fine-looking chap who will totally be psyched to find out he shares a name with fame, or this dude, or this one - oh, right, that is the one. ... I could go on. (By the way- you're allowed to correct errors on your page.) Tvoz |talk 15:58, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
You're actually eligible for "Notable Wikipedians", you know. Not sure it'll get you a free pint anywhere, though. Tvoz |talk 16:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Good grief, I'm none of those corporate types, the backpacker or the young footballer (although he does look suspiciously like one of my lot). You got it in one with the songs on YouTube... or here.... A notable Wikipedian? Don't make me laugh, or I might buy a round. --andreasegde 17:41, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Sweet. (And, check your email or send me a better address.) Tvoz |talk 18:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notable

Tvoz got a mention in WashingtonPost.com! Now that's what I call notable. --andreasegde 18:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I was on crimewatch in 1997 if that counts for owt.--Crestville 20:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
This opens a whole new bag of tricks. Dare I ask if you were the master criminal they were seeking? BTW, I read today that an Austrian (52) recently robbed eleven British banks. Apparently he was the most polite (as they are) thief they had ever met, but the silly sod only got away with 44.000 Euros from the whole lot. 14 years in chokey, (he'll only do 7) which is pretty lenient for robbery with a weapon, albeit a child's toy replica ... --andreasegde 21:03, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Key

I found this page which explains a very easy way of finding the Key in a song. Just hum a note that works with all the chords and you will have the Key note (this is easier than you think, because we are all musically intuitive). I wish I'd have read that when I was learning the bleedin' stuff... --andreasegde 09:07, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Larry Mullen Jr.

Regarding this comment, I actually meant it in a good way. I said that so that she wouldn't have to go through all the paperwork that is passing a GA. Please assume good faith. Regards, Agüeybaná 21:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Removing other editor's comments is really poor etiquette. --Agüeybaná 21:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

You give somone a sincere compliment and they bite your hand off. That's the last time I'll do that... --andreasegde 08:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
...hmmm.--Crestville 09:57, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Exactly. BTW, Cresty's back, and George Martin is up for a GAR... --andreasegde 10:00, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
"Sincere compliment." Oh, please. The sarcasm was dripping of that comment. However, unlike you, I'm willing to assume good faith and take that as a praise of my peaceful nature and ever-present disposition to help others. Best regards, Agüeybaná 21:01, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
As an outside observer, it seems the failure to assume good faith was on the part of Agüeybaná. John Cardinal 21:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
I thank you kindly, John (and that is well-meant...) --andreasegde 17:09, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
