That was me!

Einziger played the guitar and Blacc sang the words. The rest? I can't tell if you're trying to talk it down arbitrarily or if you really do not understand the role of a producer in electronic music. Move away from the idea that the "DJ" is the man who chooses what records get played at weddings, th...

Mark Deeks

And who wrote the song? Who wrote the bass line, the drums, the synths, the intertwining melodies, the song structure?

Mark Deeks

In the genres you're talking about here, always.

Mark Deeks

You really don't understand the role of producer?

Calpol Six Plus wasn't nearly quite the drink of the gods that pure uncut Moroccan Calpol was, though. Although neither was a patch on Tixylix. Kid drugs are awesome.

Mark Deeks

Damian, answer my calls, I'm starting to feel unwanted.

Mark Deeks

Ashton, you should probably know that quite a lot of us know each other outside of this forum and the show. We actually hang out in real life and stuff. So it's probably not a good idea to lie about things people have supposedly agreed to do, because we'll know. I mean it's a bad idea to lie in gene...

Mark Deeks

People who set their clocks fast. I've never understood anyone who has done this because they all know that it's 5, 10, or whatever minutes fast, which surely defeats the point. If I set my clock 20 minutes fast and it said 7:00, I wouldn't be thinking "it's 7 o'clock", I'd be thinking "it's 6:40" ...

Mark Deeks

These are the glory days of C4C that I've heard so much about, are they?

Mark Deeks

Thanks Cathy!

Mark Deeks

You think? I don't for one minute believe he's simply an over excited 11 year old, and strongly suspect he's an immature young adult who is deliberately trolling the community. Even if you believe this - I don't, but I have no further information on it than you, so it's just my opinion - surely you...

Mark Deeks

At this point posting a public message seems the obvious next step I agree with this..... and I can't see anything in Cathy's post that seems unreasonable in the circumstances. ...but not this. You don't think essentially saying I think you might be a paedo is a bit too brusque, considering? If con...

Mark Deeks

If he's an 11 year old kid, then his parents need to get a grip on what he's doing online. Maybe so, but that's hardly what this thread was doing. Obviously yes I've seen his posts and obviously I've had PMs. But a heavy-handed "which of these weirdos are you?" approach does not sit right at all.

Mark Deeks

Right well congratulations Cathy for beating up on the vulnerable minor; had Ashton actually been a lonely or unwell man in accordance with your theory, and you pushed him over and flexed over him in this way, imagine what a lovely person you would have come across as. Ashton, dude, just slow down. ...

Mark Deeks

Damian, I'm available.

So
Unfortunate.

I knew there'd be some form of Gevspergers in response to my post at some point but I thought it'd be you pointing out the "me and Zarte" instead. What a wide range of needlessly pedantic comments you have, a real soldier to your cause.

Mark Deeks

By the way, Zarte, if I've massively misrepresented what you said here, apologies and correct at will.

Mark Deeks

It's not the weaker players that boo - it's the ones who have worked out all the stems and really want you to know that about them.

Mark Deeks

So when me and Zarte were doing the second marathon, we had a conversation about the concept of "negative picking". Essentially - and none of this is a criticism - Zarte thought I was picking negatively because I overwhelmingly picked three-vowel letters rounds. For what it's worth, not for a single...

Mark Deeks

OK well I'm not entirely sure you're quoting six year old posts of mine, why the thought "I wonder if I can annoy this man I have barely ever spoken to" was in your head at that moment, but hey, do your thing. I am now going to light myself on fire as that would be a better use of my time.

Mark Deeks

Ashton, there are a lot of events already, both online and in person. Take part in some of those, familiarise yourself with what they involve and how they work, ask those who organise them how they do it for advice and help (they're very helpful), and then maybe revisit this idea.

Mark Deeks

You're not still bitter about the fact I said your avatar looked like the money shot in robot/human bukkake, are you?

Just re-seen this. Heh. It also works as a sound-a-like and a pedant-o-like.

NBA playr Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot looks like he should be standing just over mine and Graeme's shoulders.

I was going to post something along the line of "Bollocks!", but, actually, you have a point.

On the internationally approved Deeks-Dexter Scale of lookalike quality, this is a solid 0.7 Deeker.

I was at Matt Morrison and Heather Badcock's house, which, this being dreamland, was a large and relatively isolated cottage. It was a nice cottage, too, or at least the downstairs kitchen area was. The upstairs, where the front door was located (obviously), was pretty squalid. Moreover, it was badl...

Never really struggled to recover. Drove home from the event (I know!), got a good eight hours in, woke up fine, subsequently fine. Tiredness wasn't much of a problem during this thing, actually. Couple of lulls, but never hugely struggled to stay awake.

Mark Deeks

Doesn't really count as news, but:

Good to see Matt Morrison at the Arsenal game.

Mark Deeks

Yes but to be fair, you do operate on a higher plane than the rest of us. You have gifts.

Mark Deeks

FWIW, we played on the main stage (and thus as a part of the main show) three times. The third of these featured Rachel which later turned into an uncomfortable exploration of my failings as a person. So, something for everyone there. They can found at the 07:23:20, 17:29:50 and 20:11:54 marks of th...

Mark Deeks

Also thanks to Patrick, an attendee of the event, who solved the lifelong which-are-the-discard-piles problem that has plagued Co events for more than a decade by suggesting that the discards are left face up. How in God's name none of us thought of this before is frightening to think about.

Hot foof was a sleep-induced typo of food but by God I'm leaving it there.

Yep, basically. The staff kinda dragged us in. Just woke up, groggy but satisfied. Thank you to everyone who watched and participated, particularly those who donated, and those who came down to join us (Jennifer Steadman,.who brought HOT FOOF like the heroine that she js, as well.as the gentleman an...

Some say that it's easier to raise awareness of your charitable endeavours, and encourage donations thereto, if you actually give them the right link. Maybe they're right, maybe they're not. Either way, meh.

Hello! Nearly six years ago, myself, Innis and Zarte played a 25 hour game of Countdown. We raised a shit ton of money, and it was also a pretty great game, somehow going legitimately to a crucial conundrum after all that time (Innis got it). But we figured we would never do it again, as we couldn't...

Survey done.
I gathered. Some of those comments could only have been written by one person.

Honestly one of the best burns in this forum's history.

Try and do something about that permanent boner, it's been about 6 years now.

I'm actually down to 16s 7lbs so Meakin takes the lead.

Just piercings. Stretched ears and two pierced nipples though only one remains so. Heather has a tattoo on each arm at the top. Makepeace has a cool tattoo of a Mogwai symbol. That's a start. By means of illustration of nipple, an old pic you've all seen. Chest hair, does that count as body modific...

I don't have a pizza cutting device in any form despite being a bumper crop but I'm not sure being on the same side as Gevin is on the same side as "normal people" so I'll stay quiet.

Widen "pyjamas" out to mean anything put on to sleep, then. Even a t-shirt and shorts. I just wear what I wore the day before. Also widen "comb" out to include hairbrushes, and obviously bald people are exempt. I either don't style mine or use my fingers. Will also claim jeans, food processor, dress...

Now, come on. Have you or have you just been Googling people off of Countdown's names?

I was looking up the veracity of a fact I read about how a disproportionate number of sailors called Richard Parker have died badly over the years. I have a decent amount of time for such things at the moment.

I got one in a similar vein that wasn't sexplotative, but claimed it had my password and wanted money for their silence. Thing is, the email contained the password they had hacked.

I feel the same way. Hats always are either way too small or make me look like I have a receding head.

I'm enjoying the post/signature synergy there. You're gushing over how wonderful everyone is next to a quote from one particularly wonderful member of the community accusing you of looking like a serial killer. Good times, good times.
