So....who wants to start a conversation?

Shaggy

12/5/2012 07:36:27 am

Anybody fancy a pint tonight???????? :)

Prez

12/5/2012 08:42:42 am

Good conversation opener:)

Yes.

Ewan

12/5/2012 10:00:01 am

Yes but more than "A" pint, a good few I think

Shaggy

12/5/2012 11:32:02 am

That was the correct answer. 10 bonus points to both of you.

NNN

12/5/2012 01:57:30 pm

Hrmph, ITT on nights so no beer for me! Love,love,love the demotivational posters!

Neil

13/5/2012 01:43:26 pm

Love the de-motivational posters. Just got one gripe. The guy in the red shirt on the trek poster was actually ensign O' Herlihy. The same actor appeared again as a red shirt in another episode. This time he was known as Rizzo. Sadly he died in that one too. I just think we shouldn't be allowed to forget all those brave red shirted men even if Kirk and co all have a ruddy good laugh at the end of every episode.
Lest we forget.....

Neil

13/5/2012 01:47:23 pm

While I'm on here Is anyone interested in coming to the advance screening of PROMETHIUS ? I think it would be a great night/morning out.
For more information about time and date and to view the trailer please click on Neil's Nerdvana.. Make it so!

Prez

13/5/2012 02:56:55 pm

Yup.
Me and the wifey are up for a bit of Aliens at the piccys. Sign me up.

Nicky

15/5/2012 12:49:46 pm

Gosh thats so late/early film looks good though

Shaggy

14/5/2012 10:58:20 am

Loving the idea of a trip to see Prometheus, the trailer's looking good. Also loving the De-Motivational posters, good thinking Prez!

NNN

17/5/2012 07:59:08 am

Not seen many of you for a while, ITTs shifts not being kind, we may be out on Friday (tomorrow) if anyone is about but not til after 7pm & we will be very drunk as both up from 4.30am! Or I may well fall asleep on the couch & get paddington stares off hubby for being lame & weak!

Prometheus trailer looked good but I will be asleep in bobos as you enjoy its marvels! Hope to have seen some of you before then though!

Prez

17/5/2012 08:10:31 am

Hi NNN. The usual suspects will be out but I will be home by then:(

Have you seen the Flyer for Dee's birthday party the following Friday?

Can you make that?

SANDRA

17/5/2012 04:59:33 pm

HI EVERYONE :-) THUMBS UP TO DE-MOTIVATIONAL PAGE :-) :-)

NNN

18/5/2012 01:06:36 am

Sadly can't make Dees' do, Ian is 6-6 the Fri & Sat, we may well be out on the Saturday for the big birthday. ITT was devestated he couldn't make Towel day (oh how I laughed about Dees' towel!). Note use of possesive apostrophe (however, sure my spelling is wrong as usual, haha)

Neil

20/5/2012 03:13:55 pm

Its a new week chums so it means new sights and sounds on Nerdvana. Not that I'm here to big myself up or anything....
Don't forget about Prometheus. Eleven days and counting.

Nicky

22/5/2012 01:14:20 pm

I see Scotty has been beamed up eventually 'warp speed captain the dilithium crystals are activated' bless him. Anyone fancy drinkypoos in the sunshine tomorrow? Tragedy on at the Brickyard on the evening too - thats heavy metal Bee Gees tribute sounds like fun and a good way to say fare well to Robyn Gibb all welcome :-)

Prez

22/5/2012 01:21:40 pm

I'd love to do both but I have a ton of stuff to do for my course by next Tuesday.

I may not get to the afternoon Chum club, certainly can't afford the time to do the night.

I may only be out for one of the two weekend 'dos' too:(

Ewan

21/5/2012 03:57:42 am

Good pic of stevie both of them

NNN

23/5/2012 03:15:17 am

Oh my giddy god, those chuminals are awesome, ripper John & Cockney Ian my favourite I think, unsure of a couple but its made a crap day in work bearable!

Prez

23/5/2012 03:59:10 am

Ripper's oddly suits him./ I think Cheryl and Nicky's are the best. Ewan's took a while to see ('cos of the hair I suppose)

ITT

23/5/2012 04:03:48 am

No, i can't see Cockney Ian. Had to look again & can only guess he's the frog prince.

They're great, Neil. (Wish i could say the same about Shatners' "Iron Man"!!!

Prez

23/5/2012 05:32:06 am

Nope Savern' Ian isn't the Frog, I believe that's Paul C.

Think Compare the market:)

Mr and Mrs Prez are cat people...

Neil

23/5/2012 12:57:04 pm

Sorry about Iron man. Just seemed the right time for it what with the Avengers film out there at the mo. I'll try something completely different next time :)

Ewan

23/5/2012 03:58:10 am

I am good for the pig one I think ?
and Jay's a monkey

ITT

23/5/2012 06:44:39 am

Now i've looked again & my good lady wife has informed me, i can see it now, Prez.

We always knew you & the First Lady were cat people but not in the literal sense until now!

Purrrr-fect!!!

Look at the debates you've started, Neil.

Neil

23/5/2012 12:42:29 pm

Glad you like them folks. Trouble is theres only about eight different animals to choose from and after hours of surfing for photos I realised most do not stare straight into camera which is a basic requirement. The most perfect stare has to go to Bobby the meercat. Simples!!

Neil

23/5/2012 12:46:08 pm

Sorry shouldn't have said that. Your supposed to guess who they are. Doh !

ITT

23/5/2012 02:23:37 pm

No, i got scary, stary Bobby as the other meerkat.

I suspect i might be a Chumster! My missus reckons it could be Geordie John.

Keep up the good work, Chums.

I know there's many more famous tunes the Shat has shat on, so bring 'em on, Neil.

Neil

23/5/2012 03:03:23 pm

Well seeing as your such a fan I've hidden a little gem in the attic.
You know when you've been Shatnered!!

Neil

23/5/2012 03:06:38 pm

Well seeing as your such a big fan of the Shat I've hidden a little gem in my attic. You know when you've been Shatnered !!
Enjoy :)

Prez

23/5/2012 04:58:55 pm

Holy Shatner.

Mama OOOOOOOOOOOH!

ITT

24/5/2012 04:12:34 am

I can't believe i've just listened/watched the entire 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by the Shatmeister! His facial expressions are as hilarious as his vocal delivery.

Well worth a peek in Neils' Attic for some Final Frontier fun, Chums.

Neil

23/5/2012 03:09:33 pm

Thats funny. It said it wouldn't publish then did it twice. Frak !!

Ewan

23/5/2012 05:59:45 pm

You mean you can buy this on CD twice

Prez

23/5/2012 06:12:34 pm

Once is ENOUGH!

NNN

24/5/2012 02:57:45 am

Still not sure who the lazy dog is, or the grasshopperr/stickinsecty thing is, hours of fun!

Looking forward to Nicky & Makas Tragedy review!

ITT

24/5/2012 03:31:48 am

Or the fish?

Neil

24/5/2012 11:10:02 am

New tricks, old dog. Clue??

Shaggy

24/5/2012 06:37:39 am

The animal morphs are excellent, good work Neil. There's some real laugh out loud moments currently on the site. The Damien/number of the beast motivational poster is pure class, or is that just because I'm an old Maiden fan? Tragedy was a good fun gig. Finished off a perfect day & I still had the big camera with me for some random band shots. Keep up the good work chums & see ya all over the weekend. CHUM CHUM CHUM!!!!

NNN

24/5/2012 07:47:24 am

Doh, forgot you were going to see Tragedy too, brain melt!

Prez

24/5/2012 07:51:40 pm

A lot of chatter on the Chumments page. That's what I like to see:)

Those with pics of Wednesday night get them to me over the weekend for the website.

Chum, Chum, Chum.

ITT

25/5/2012 09:17:47 am

William Shatner doing 'Bohemian Rhapsody'

Leonard Nimoy singing the 'Ballad of Bilbo Baggins'

What next? You'll be telling us George Takei is the 'Lord of the Rings'!!!

Shaggy

27/5/2012 12:00:51 pm

Maybe 'Lord Of The Ringpiece'!

Neil

27/5/2012 12:43:39 pm

Well Nichelle Nichols has a fine voice but I haven't got any of her stuff. I draw the line at Brent Spiner's "ol' yellow eyes is back".

Prez

27/5/2012 04:25:24 pm

Why don't you put up Nimmoy's Bilbo Baggins video up?

We were talking about it last night and some folk said they had never seen it.

Neil

27/5/2012 04:12:44 pm

Shatner performing the sex pistols god save the queen on have I got news for you. Nearly pissed myself laughing. I can see another album coming !!

Prez

27/5/2012 04:20:01 pm

I just watched it and agree. He was on fine form.

I was worried that he may have come across as a bit of a doddering old buffoon but he was sharp and witty.

Neil

27/5/2012 04:28:14 pm

Get thee behind me Satan. I don't think the full video is available but consider it done.

ITT

27/5/2012 05:06:14 pm

Is it me or is Nimoys' 'Ballad of Bilbo Baggins' really catchy? It's doing my head in!

Looking forward to hearing Shatners' version of 'God Save The Queen', Neil. Please keep putting them up.

Prez

27/5/2012 05:10:35 pm

When you took on the pages Neil did you realise you would end up becoming a late night request-playing DJ?:)

Neil

28/5/2012 03:53:09 am

To be honest I thought it was just going to be viewed as self indulgent and naff. Didn't realise I wasn't the only saddo that likes this kind of thing. Thanks to everyone who check out my pages and to the others I say "Hab SoSlI' Quch" !

ITT

27/5/2012 05:47:15 pm

Thanks to the colourful clientele in thd Kings Head, it has been compared to the Mos Eisley Cantina (the Star Wars bar to non-Nerds) on numerous occasions but i never thought i'd see a photo of a Stormtrooper in there!!!

Shaggy

28/5/2012 02:42:00 pm

The stormtrooper is proably called Dave & is working for Cavvies when he's not looking for those pesky droids! Hey Neil, love the Alien vs Predator. Hope you've got the swingball & my personal favourite, Alien vs Predator on the pool table :)

Shaggy

28/5/2012 02:56:24 pm

P.S. Got a photo of a moth catterpillar that will be on the site soon. It's actually called 'The Drinker'! Two worlds colliding? I think so. Or should that be ;I drink, therefore I forgot what I was saying'!!!

Prez

28/5/2012 03:18:19 pm

I'm Pink....Therefore I'm Spam.

:)

Shaggy

28/5/2012 03:11:12 pm

Sorry chums, that last post will have Descartes spinning in his grave. Either that or Popeye!

ITT

28/5/2012 03:19:38 pm

My word, Neil. Harsh words there for any Khumons (Klingon/Chum hybrids) existing in the Galaxy.

Loved Shatners' 'Common People' with Joe Jackson. It's worth checking out him doing Cee Lo Greens' 'F*#k You' on YouTube. It's hilarious!

Just wondering if the Prez has heard Shatners' version of 'Silver Machine'? It might be a meagre consolation for Hawkwinds' no show on thursday!

Prez

28/5/2012 03:23:44 pm

Yup.

Our Neil was kind enough to have it on his page as Shatt-song of the week not long ago.

Now if he went on tour with Hawkwind that would be well worth going to see

ITT

28/5/2012 05:00:08 pm

I must've missed it then, Prez.

Bring on Shatwind!!!

Neil

29/5/2012 02:42:55 pm

Whoa back the truck up! Shatner doing Cee Lo Green! Just watched it although not familiar with the source material still enjoyed it . Unfortunately not sci-fi enough. Still got plenty more spacey stuff to use yet.

ITT

30/5/2012 05:54:32 am

Good (i think!) to hear it. Will look/listen out for them, Neil.
Unfortunately my broadband speed's crap at the moment so i can't watch Shatner on 'Have I Got News For You' on BBC iPlayer. Bugger!

Prez

28/5/2012 03:20:40 pm

Descartes walks into a McDonalds and asks for a Cheeseburger.

The assistant says "Would you like fries?"

He replies "I think not" and promptly disappears...

NNN

29/5/2012 02:38:54 am

I'm speechless & will have to leave the dance floor to you intellectual geeks!

Prez

29/5/2012 05:29:28 am

While I'm on about intellectual jokes, how about this anti-anti-Irish joke, one of my favourites ones…

Seamus applied for a job as a labourer at a local building site.

The foreman didn't like Irishmen and said "No, you Irish are all thick, get lost Paddy"

Seamus said "You know we're not as stupid as you think, go on ask me a question"

"OK" said the foeman "What is the difference between a girder and joist?"

"That's easy," replied Seamus, "Goethe wrote Faust and Joyce wrote Ulysses."

Bazinga!

NNN

29/5/2012 08:00:37 am

I need a lie down......

Shaggy

29/5/2012 01:25:23 pm

What beast have I spawned. I'm in too deep, I need out. I thought Descartes was a French centre-back who played for Lyon during the 92-93 & 93-94 seasons. His career was unfortunately ended prematurely by a freak towel flicking incident! He then had a brief stint as standing toms player with Khlamydia!!! SO THERE!!!

ITT

30/5/2012 04:54:35 am

Well done, Shaggy. I checked my Ligue 1 Panini sticker books from said seasons to find the spelling Descarthorse! He was said to be Lyons worst player at the time. As for his stint in Khlamydia, that was also cut short due to an onstage incident when he attempted to play the congas with his teeth then behind his head, Hendrix-style causing severe concussion & nearly drowned in the frenzied crowds phlegm!

Ahead of Euro 2012, i'm glad you mentioned the off-the-field injuries caused throughout French football at the time. Who could forget the 5 match ban that Saint Etiennes' Lou Zegame got for giving his teammate Herve De Baulle a 'Chinese Burn'!!!

Prez

30/5/2012 05:22:27 am

Now I'm speechless & so now 'I' will have to leave the dance floor to you football geeks...

About Prometheus.Ok heres the thing. i know i said i would go alone but would definately make it more of an occasion if a few of us went so how about wednesday evening after woodies. i will be flexible but just thought those with orange phones could help those that don't.
Any other suggestions?

Prez

31/5/2012 04:11:10 am

Hi mate

Sorry Wednesday was suggested at the club but most couldn't do it due to work committments.

I think Tuesday is the flavour of the month, can you make it??

Neil

31/5/2012 01:50:23 pm

Finish work at 7 on Tuesday so can make the 8 o'clock show. Does that work for most?

Prez

31/5/2012 06:46:35 pm

Great.

As far as I can remember. Me, Cheryl, Maka, Nicky, Ian and Den(?) are able to come so far.

Anyone else?

Ewan

Shaggy

3/6/2012 09:08:58 am

Yayyyy! I've got 'Bastard Vengance'! No AOR & Soft Metal balladry there then! Had a huge grin when I heard the Pistols on the Homepage, very fitting prez :)

Well i'm Bastard Warriors! I'm sure Jovi will have some of theirs in his music collection!

Any Chums in the Napper tonight?

ITT

I have just read this on Neil's Nerdvana

'Ray Douglas Bradbury died 5th June 2012 aged 91. Although he did write 11 novels he mostly produced short stories about everything from horror, mystery, fantasy and science fiction. Several of his works were adapted for the screen my personal favourite being "The Martian Chronicles" '

I loved his stuff too. A giant of several genres. They have recently been broadcasting a lot of his short stories on BBC
Radio 4Extra, oddly enough.

Another of the Greats gone.

From the look on your face I'm fairly sure you had no idea that you had done the same to ITT last week, sorry if it shocked you! Hopefully Prez reminded you. My pint had a bigger head than his so I got the job.

It was a relief for it to be us that were pishd & you were all sober, couldn't handle it the other way around!!!

Neil's Garage is filling up nicely.

Excellent stuff. I remember being terrified/enthralled by the Robots of Death Robots (weren't they called V's and SV's (Vox and Super-Vox?)

But what about 790 The Robot Head from Lexx? Surely he deserves a mention:)

Neil

11/6/2012 12:39:04 pm

As I told you there was only one good thing about Lexx and that was a certain part human part cluster lizard. I may have to include her on the babes page although I suppose I could use the head as well. :-)

Prez

11/6/2012 07:50:05 pm

Nice to see the Robot Head is where he belongs.

I got all nostalgic for Lexx and have put a wee reminder on the home page, go listen.

I was looking at the 3 laws. The ironic thing about them is each of the stories Asimov wrote actually deal with instances where they DON'T obey the rules, kinda making them not so universal:)

On the subject of 'I Robot' book vs film. Can anyone see a similar disaster looming with 'World War Z'???

Yup

And now they have brought in the scriptwriter from Prometheus too...

Bloody hell didn't expect to see my enlarged bonce on the home page. Gave me a bit of a shock. As for Nerdvana, I'd like to thank Nick again for letting me indulge the nerd in all of us especially myself.
As for world war Z I've heard it mentioned but don't know what it's about. Maybe Shaggy can explain it to me in woodies tomorrow?

Prez

12/6/2012 06:43:28 pm

The book is excellent, really well thought out after the event eyewitness account of a zombie plague but the film version is apparently a pile of poo and is still lumbering about in pre-production. I think it's release has been put back again to 2013

I found this link to the PDF book version, have a skim through. I have the audio book and I think Shaggy or Denis has my book version.

Hope you all had a great night on Saturday. Thanks to the whiskey I drank on Friday night I did not really see Saturday. I did however see a bacon buttie. Twice. Along with a pint of fresh orange.

Ewan

What a Saturday night in the Kings Head, The reunion of the four from 1978, words like- do you remember when, have you heard, he/she did this etc. etc. etc......... The smiles on our face's say it all

Prez

25/6/2012 03:39:35 pm

Absolutely Chum.

I got an abysmally bad 4/10 in Neil's Nerd Quiz. I know it defeats the object but it took me 3 go's to get the 10/10. Very entertaining stuff.

With the current weather we're having, i'll keep my anorak out!

Keep On Chumming!!!

Neil

28/6/2012 04:59:20 pm

Thanks for trying and again and again. Surely you didn't want to get them all right did you? What Kind of nerd gets 10/10 anyway?

Prez

28/6/2012 05:08:45 pm

...8/10 - demi-geek.

ITT

28/6/2012 05:36:03 pm

I'm impressed, Prez. We're not worthy!!!

Anybody do better?

Prez

29/6/2012 04:19:55 am

Welcome back Nicky and Maka.

I'm looking foward to hearing about your week away this afternoon....

Shaggy

30/6/2012 07:10:51 am

Yes, welcome home the Makars, catch you both soon. 6/10 on Neil's Sci-Fi quiz & relized I made one very basic error which I;m too ashamed to mention!

Prez

30/6/2012 09:11:19 pm

Think Neil's got it sussed there.

Prez

2/7/2012 06:42:26 pm

Yup.

I'm afraid i agree.

Although In fairness Motley Crue would have been a guess.

Neil

2/7/2012 06:56:32 pm

Motley Crue is a complete guess.Eye liner and singers got a bandana on. Cant stand them.

NNN

3/7/2012 05:56:37 am

Nickys quiz was great, I reckon I got them all...except E as it could have been anyone from the new york dolls to poison to little angels to LA guns!Neils however, I got 4, and they were all guesses....I'm not NERDY!

ITT

5/7/2012 04:47:54 am

Can you please explain to numpties like me what 'Pic of the Week' is, Prez?

Neil

5/7/2012 05:11:35 am

Nicky

5/7/2012 06:37:04 am

Thanks for doing my quiz Chums and I'm not saying Neil is right or wrong but to be in for the prize you have to say who is A to H then your name can be put into the draw (if you are correct), for the Grand Greek Prize (hey its not easy getting a donkey through customs!) 'what Neil says' doesn't count. come on Chums the more the merrier x

Thanks prez x

Prez

5/7/2012 06:47:50 am

BTW I have moved the 'Behind You Chum' pictures to it's own page which you still have edititorial rights to.

Your page should load up a little bit quicker, but to make it load best you should thank about doing a Neil and adding more pages and thinning things out by moving them.

Nicky

5/7/2012 08:36:39 am

Will have a look to see how to do more pages, could you change the makas link page photo from Michael to one of the bands please to attract folk to the quiz when you have a min? ta x

ITT

5/7/2012 09:22:43 am

I meant the new 'Pic of the Week', Prez.

Here goes for Nicky's Quiz:

Prez

5/7/2012 06:25:01 pm

Ooops I thought the comment about the POTW was sent before I changed it...doh!

Click the picture to take you to the BBC page where it is explained quite well.

Another proud to be British moments, eh?

Mind-blowing too....

Shaggy

5/7/2012 03:47:33 pm

Oh. alright then Nicky. Here we go!

A-The Stones
B-The Who
C- Angus,Angus!!!!
D-Stevie Nicks, Grrrrrrrrr! Sorry, Fleetwood Macks.

C= AC/DC
D= Fleetwood Mac
E= Motley Crue or any cock rock band!

NNN

6/7/2012 02:56:32 am

ps we are missing our chums, we have seen Em twice but thanks to ITT's shifts we keep missing almost all of you. And the 13th we have a 'do' so wont catch you all then :o( So CHUM CHUM CHUM a toast to you all!

Prez

6/7/2012 05:39:18 am

Surely we can get to see you at some point?

What about Neil's BBQ triple birthday do on the 21st July? Or the Chums-awa! in Edinburgh on the 8th August...

How about video Chumferencing?:)

Incidentally NNN I reckon you and me are the only ones to have answered all the most right.

Everyone else has said it's 'Hendrix' which may be what is in the picture, BUT Nicky asked for the BAND they were supposed to be which is of course the JHE.

We have just moved house and have a shed and a garage...plenty of room for a greek donkey. How about you?:)

Nicky

7/7/2012 11:41:59 am

oh I'm not so picky the artist or the band will suffice where there is only one member of the band on stage :P

ITT

6/7/2012 05:42:18 am

Checked out Beeb link, Prez & guess i'm just a numpty! Now i get your pun though, Neil.

I think it's hilarious that all the bands are playing on stages on Nicky's Quiz pics except Motley Crue (if it is them) playing a gazebo!

What a masterstroke of comedy, Jovi. Roger Whittaker clip whistlin' in the middle of all that Metal mayhem. F#*kin' hilarious!

Keep On Chumming!!!

NNN

6/7/2012 07:52:17 am

Neils triple birthday bash? Is that a sci fi thing, he has a birthday for all 3 of his brains or something?! That sounds like a good plan if Neil doesn't object, we'd need his address (off line obvs) as we don't know where he is.

As for JHE, Diana had one of the albums so its embeded in my mind! ITT got it too. But he likes Motley Crue so it doesn't count :o)

Hope to catch you all on the 21st....

Shaggy

7/7/2012 07:34:16 am

Count me in for Edinburgh. See ya tonight chums :)

Prez

7/7/2012 07:48:12 am

Me too.

Prez

7/7/2012 07:48:57 am

...and the wife too.

Ewan

7/7/2012 10:13:29 am

Edinburgh here I come, I am in

Nicky

7/7/2012 11:53:20 am

'My husband and I' - (posh accent) are Edinburgh bound hurrah!
And Jovi I hope Alice can dedicate Born This Way to you when he sings it at bloodstock - you are not worthy - snigger..........

ITT

9/7/2012 02:10:24 am

4/10 again in Neil's new Sci-Fi Quiz. The only answer i was certain of was 'The Six Million Dollar Man' one, as i got the action figure for Xmas 1975 (or was it '76) and you could roll up the skin of his bionic arm & look through his bionic eye. That's when kids got toys for such occasions instead of mobile phones & ipads!

Love the the Rush video for ' The Body Connection' in The Music
Room. It was one of my first introductions to Rush on an LP swap deal with a pal for The Who. The memories came flooding back!

Keep On Chumming!!!

NNN

9/7/2012 03:11:47 am

Well, I could lie & say I got more than 2/10 first go.....but i didn't! ITT forgot to mention we wont make 21st as he's in work 'til 6pm & in on the Sunday too...boo hiss, we will catch up with you all some time soon!

Love the alternative Neil evolution!

Prez

9/7/2012 05:06:09 am

Shame.

:(

NNN

9/7/2012 03:14:29 am

2/10, pitiful!

ITT forgot to mention we can't make 21st as his shift finishes at 6pm & he is back in on the Sunday. Boo hiss, we will catch up with you all soon I hope!

Love Neils evolution!

Shaggy

9/7/2012 03:23:38 am

Woo, 7/10 this time. Love the quote from John Carpenter's They Live! What gives with the fight scene in that film, OTT or what!

Prez

9/7/2012 03:30:03 am

7/10 too.

Could do better. See me.

NNN

9/7/2012 06:03:35 am

Flimmin computers making a fool of me! Said it hadn't sent first one....As if 2/10 wasn't humiliating enough I posted twice :o)

Neil

9/7/2012 11:14:17 am

Nice to see plenty chums havin a crack at the quiz. Don't worry theres one or two I wouldn't have known if I hadn't checked first. Shame about NNN + ITT (sounds like some maths equation) not coming on the 21st. Maybe next time chums or perhaps the Prez will make good on his offer of a housewarming party.
As for the fight scene in They Live, my memory is a little hazy but seem to remember the whole film being OTT.
Keep on chumming \m/>.<\m/

Neil

10/7/2012 05:34:44 pm

Thought I'd better confirm my attendance to the Edinburgh jolly. I'll pay up tomorrow. chum chum.

Neil

10/7/2012 05:37:53 pm

Oh yeah and I sat through They Live on youtube tonight. Shaggy you were right , that fight IS something else, but not in a good way. Thats another hour and a half of my life I'll never get back :-(

mike

12/7/2012 05:38:34 pm

my good lady and myself are edinburgh bound after nicky persuaded us tonight

Nicky

14/7/2012 12:07:44 pm

Yay! it was the Napper coffee wasn't it Mike?

Thanks for the new pages Nick :-)

Gowd am I looking forward to Neils party next week and as I'm off Sunday, Club Rock better be open till 5am or else :-)

Oh and as a reminder one last week to win the Greek prize enter our competition drawn at Neils party HURRAH!

(Frantic Tendencies) - or Nicky remember the Bnd Name Thingy?

14/7/2012 01:24:02 pm

If you venture into our beer garden please don't tread on Boris x

Neil

14/7/2012 06:05:47 pm

Good grief Nicky I'm not a fan of spiders at the best of times but I actually physically juddered when I saw Boris. Made me want to throw something at the telly. Bleaargh :-((

Shaggy

15/7/2012 08:10:38 am

I love Boris, what a beast. No Arachnids that size at Wetheral on Thursday but the Harvestmen might have given it a run for it's money with leg-span!!! Mind you, their bodies were tiny.Welcome aboard for the Edinburgh trip Mike. See those out at Sunday club soon, catch the the rest of you during the week YAY :)

Neil

16/7/2012 04:49:10 pm

Well chums Its time to vote for your favourite monster from the attic. All ten are waiting with bated breath (especially Godzilla for obvious reasons). Just scroll to the bottom of the page where you will find a easy to use vote box. You can click as many times as you want but I promise you I will only click once.
Oh by the way since I put the counter on about three weeks ago I've just had my 200th hit on Nerdvana. Thanks everyone. Chumtastic!!!
I hope to see many of you next Saturday at mine. ChumChumChum!

Nicky

17/7/2012 01:09:35 pm

Have voted for my monster of choice King Kong was always my favorite apart from Dracula of course but is he a monster or just misunderstood?
I take it you're leaning towards Godzilla with that not so subliminal message :-)
see you all tomorrow Chums x

Neil

17/7/2012 01:26:42 pm

Well I like all of them but voted for the Metalunan mutant just cos I love the film. As for the B.O.C. song it's just a great tune and I haven't got anything else about monsters. Vote for any you want....Oh No there goes Tokyo...!!

Prez

17/7/2012 07:04:46 pm

Happy Birthday to Shaggy. I hope everything went OK when you got home mate.

See you Wednesday Club for a proper natter.

I've just registered my choice for bestus monster.

In a blatant attempt to rig the vote can I just ask anyone who hasn't reveled in Plan 9 to give it a go. You will be gobsmacked at just how gloriously bad it is.

If you can't be bothered at least look at this...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaE7lm1ObGM

It will be interesting to see who wins.

NNN

19/7/2012 03:13:42 am

sorry we missed you all yesterday (again),we were literally in town for a few bits & lunch, took shelter in thin white duke (that rain was horrendous!) for one waiting for the bus...back in hell today

Shaggy

19/7/2012 07:28:43 am

Mmmm, so AC-DC got it wrong when they said 'Hell ain't a bad place to be'!!! Chin up chuck! We'll catch up with you soon enough :)

NNN

19/7/2012 07:57:02 am

Hope so, not seen you all for yonks! Prior engagements, Ians shifts & ships that pass in the night! x

ITT

19/7/2012 08:40:11 am

The Creature From The Black Lagoon got my vote (i'm only voting once in this poll) in the Monster Poll. Fortunately there is'nt any black lagoons on the way home from the Napper but if i see a man-like amphibian lurking on the banks of the River Eden, i'm off. NNN will have to fend him off with her handbag!

Hope to catch you all soon.

Keep On Chumming!!!

Shaggy

19/7/2012 12:20:07 pm

Fine choice ITT, the 'creature' got my vote too. Mind you, there's a lot scarier sights in Club Rock. See the previous photo of the week! Me, Ewan & Baz looked like damnation itself. Won't be using that for a passport photo. GRRRR, BRAINS!!!

Shaggy

19/7/2012 12:23:25 pm

P.S. Who needs your Zombiefying App when we can do this all on our own?

ITT

19/7/2012 03:31:33 pm

The 'Zombie Apocalypse' photo has got to be one of my favourite Chum pics. None of you seem to know what's going on. It must've been some sesh and i'm surprised the photographer could manage to operate the camera! Maybe Neil can put you all in his next batch of 'Monster of the Week' titled 'They Came To Drink'!

Shaggy

19/7/2012 05:24:47 pm

As the one who looks the worst for wear, the Prez (who took the photo) said he was working the double photo, one with flash & one without. Apparently I look fine on the accompanying photo, maybe the unseen one was where the camera did lie!

Prez

19/7/2012 06:41:23 pm

Have a look at the top of the page. Compared to Ewan and Baz you look positively buzzing...or perhaps you had just sated your self on Patient One and Two...

I've enjoyed 'listening' to the Chumment Craick tonight Chums.

ITT

20/7/2012 06:52:45 am

What a difference Shaggy looks on the new pic. Ewan & Baz unfortunately still look like extras from a George A Romero movie!

Bruce Wayne

22/7/2012 07:23:32 am

Many thanks to all the chums for making last night such a chumly event. Glad its only once a year cos the cleanups a bitch with a hangover. Still it was a great night. Same time next year for Nerdcon 2013?

ITT

23/7/2012 07:14:47 am

It looked like a great convention round at Neils on Saturday, judging by the video. I'm looking forward to the photos now. Sorry we missed it. Hope we can make next years Nerdcon.

I noticed The Creature From The Black Lagoon, Godzilla & King Kong are neck & neck in The Monster Poll. There must be some Chums out there who have'nt voted cos there's only 8 Chums voted, so come on and vote in The Attic on Neil's Page. It's a bit of fun.

Keep On Chumming!!!

Nicky

23/7/2012 09:23:50 am

Great party Neil thanks for all of the effort you put in. Food was great as was the crack! Well done Neil also for winning the Makars Greek Holiday Quiz I'm sure the donkey will like the gazebo.
Another great chumly night/morning out got home 10 to 5 so we were even in early :-)

Batters link

23/7/2012 11:33:05 am

No idea what time I got in but didn't get up till 11 to face the aftermath. Would love to do it again. How about halloween or has that already been arranged?

Bret Michaels (AKA Shaggy)

23/7/2012 11:34:46 am

Cheers to all the chums who made it a hilarious birthday night, especially 'Bruce' for the great food & hospitality and to Nicky & Dee for bringing the party toys. Great turnout! Chum chum chum :)

Batters link

23/7/2012 11:51:10 am

I must apologise both to Brett (aka Shaggy) and Tommy the toreador (aka Dennis). I totally forgot to sign both your cards. In my defence I did have quite a lot on my mind on the night. Glad everyone who turned up enjoyed themselves but if anyone has any suggestions to improve the next one please let me know. chum chum chum!!

Shaggy

23/7/2012 04:12:39 pm

Nicky, I think I've identified Boris but there might have to be a renaming! It looks very much like a female 'Ladybird Spider' of the species Eresus walckenaeri. The male is much more colourful, hence the family common name & it's found in Turkey, the Balkans & on Aegean Islands. Neil, no worries chum!

BATTERS

24/7/2012 07:00:44 am

Come on Chums. I see there's still only 8 votes cast for favourite monster. At this rate I'll just have to let them fight it out amongst themselves.
Head for the attic. It'll only take a sec :)

http://www.chumsofanarchy.com/neils-nerdvana---the-attic.html

Prez

24/7/2012 07:16:01 am

Offer 'em a prize.

That motivated them with Nicky, the mercenary bleeders...

:)

PREZ

24/7/2012 07:18:53 am

BTW instead of 'Batters' how about calling yourself the Batty Boy? He he he....

NNN

24/7/2012 08:24:45 am

Well, that's my vote in for the monster vote.

BATTY BOY

24/7/2012 08:44:00 am

Thanks NNN. Hey it looks like our creature is emerging from his lagoon.
Cool.
Remember its every chum's right to vote. Thats democracy for ya.

mike

24/7/2012 04:09:51 pm

nice to see the good lady and nicky gracing pic of the week,but the question i must ask is which bra did that boob in the middle fall out of?

Ewan

24/7/2012 04:24:07 pm

What a good night the party was its a shame I had to leave early but great that I met up with you all in the rock club some really good pic's
but who's the dude in the pink must of come after I left

Prez

24/7/2012 05:50:38 pm

Dunno who he is but he has a woman's bottom.

BATTY BOY

24/7/2012 05:39:04 pm

Is anyone else having trouble playing the video from the party? Mine stops with Damian eatimg curry but it should go on for about 8 mins and has the lantern launch on it. Probably my comp playing silly buggers.

Prez

24/7/2012 05:49:18 pm

No the video plays as you describe it should.

Prez
