| 10:30.59 | JosefAssad | innerarc: if you type 212.58.224.131 into the address bar of your browser, do you get the beeb? |

| 10:45.22 | innerarc | no its not |
| 10:45.23 | goibhniu | I think? |
| 10:45.57 | antiphase | `sudo su` is silly. At least use `sudo su -` or `sudo -s` |
| 10:47.01 | goibhniu | why? |
| 10:47.44 | antiphase | Because `sudo su` simply esclates you to root, without taking any of root's intended login environment |

| 14:40.58 | antiphase | Heh. Apparently he was resolving some stuff though, which I didn't quite get |
| 14:41.26 | goibhniu | everything seemed hunky dorey from the term |
| 14:42.07 | clive-h | It's timing out trying resolving rdns for numeric addresses I suspect |
| 14:42.11 | goibhniu | telnet www.microsoft.com 80 worked fine |

| 14:44.34 | goibhniu | hmmm ... aol ... by jove ... but wouldn't the router handle that? |
| 14:45.02 | clive-h | I've no idea |
| 14:45.34 | clive-h | without a nameserver entry lookups on the root nameservers would time out |
| 14:45.40 | goibhniu | morsing: it's one of the mysteries of life I guess |
| 14:46.00 | clive-h | I don't know much about aol |
| 14:46.04 | goibhniu | but why would telnet work then? |
| 14:46.13 | clive-h | Pass |
| 14:46.41 | goibhniu | I helped someone configure an aol connection once ... didn't seem weird |
| 14:46.50 | clive-h | That might have been the one lucky time when a root server responded |

| 19:08.24 | clive-h | They were fine |
| 19:08.44 | goltor | sometimes they explode, more entertaining still than fire |
| 19:09.08 | clive-h | I suspect the explosion risk is why they say don't microwave kebabs |
| 19:09.21 | boudiccas | i was very worried by it all, because i nearly set the fire alarms off and if the smoke dtectors had been working they would've set the alarm system off sending three fire engines to the nurses home where i was living at the time |
| 19:09.50 | clive-h | Always embarassing to have fire appliances turn up |
| 19:10.58 | boudiccas | our first christmas on a brnad new ward our manager set the fire alarm off by burning some mince pies she was reheating |
| 19:11.04 | boudiccas | *brand |
| 19:11.22 | clive-h | classic |
| 19:11.56 | clive-h | i could do with a new microwave |
| 19:12.09 | clive-h | i guess they're cheap these days |
| 19:12.48 | boudiccas | that was the year that one of our patients was more interetsed in the booze on the ward than her christmas dinner, and ended up getting smashed out of her skull and then spening the rest of the day sleeping off her [liquid] christmas lunch |
| 19:12.55 | Dick_Turpin | clive-h, not if you buy them from me ;-) |
| 19:13.19 | clive-h | You sell microwaves? |
| 19:13.23 | boudiccas | have a look in robert dyas for one |
| 19:13.36 | boudiccas | they've also got a website somwehere or other |
| 19:13.40 | clive-h | I don't think I'd want an expensive microwave |
| 19:13.57 | clive-h | There's a Robert Dyas in Bexleyheath |
| 19:14.23 | boudiccas | have alook there then, you get good value stuff from them... lasts a long time and works well |
| 19:14.35 | clive-h | Dartford is a bit of a mess |
| 19:14.41 | clive-h | The co-op has closed |
| 19:15.10 | Dick_Turpin | clive-h, Are you looking to buy? |
| 19:15.46 | clive-h | Hythe Street is being re-developed |
| 19:15.46 | clive-h | At some point soon I want a new cheap microwave |
| 19:15.46 | clive-h | Nothing fancy |
| 19:16.23 | clive-h | I have two , I suspect one is leaky |
| 19:16.31 | clive-h | and I don't use it anymore |
| 19:16.50 | Dick_Turpin | clive-h, I'll quote ya guvnor mind you at these prices I'm mugging myself |
| 19:17.04 | clive-h | haha |
| 19:17.19 | clive-h | I think comet want about 35 quid |
| 19:18.18 | clive-h | I lugged a non-microwave oven back from there at xmas |
| 19:18.42 | Dick_Turpin | clive-h, Look we'll we'll have 5 mins of cockney banter and you'll want mine |
| 19:19.17 | clive-h | Cockney banter lol |
| 19:19.33 | Dick_Turpin | I was born in Barking |
| 19:19.51 | boudiccas | barking born and barking mad! |
| 19:19.53 | clive-h | I was born in Dartford |
| 19:20.04 | boudiccas | i was born under a wandering star |
| 19:20.25 | clive-h | My experience is dartfordians are more cockney than real cockneys |
| 19:20.43 | clive-h | Look at the Glimmer twins, Mick and Keef |
| 19:20.57 | Dick_Turpin | My dad used to drag me fishing there and I went out with a girl from (I think) Dartford grammer or girls school one of the two |
| 19:21.54 | clive-h | I've lived in Crayford most of my life and my accent is not really cockney |
| 19:22.13 | Dick_Turpin | Mine is but dont tell anyone |
| 19:22.34 | clive-h | I suppose I could do the glotal stop thing |
| 19:22.48 | clive-h | and dropping my 'aitches |
| 19:23.20 | Dick_Turpin | Oh god yes. we live in an Ouse we ride an Orse est |
| 19:23.53 | clive-h | Hmmm I don't think I have the IPA character set |
| 19:24.18 | clive-h | I can't really render how bottle sounds with a glottal stop |
| 19:24.30 | clive-h | bot'el |
| 19:24.50 | clive-h | is about the best i can do |
| 19:25.26 | Dick_Turpin | I do say stuff like 'dog and bone' 'current' etc the wife gets the hump sometimes (she's from the Midlands) |

| 19:25.59 | clive-h | I understand some rhyming slang |
| 19:26.19 | clive-h | Unless I'm winding people up I don't normally use it myself |
| 19:27.05 | Dick_Turpin | It just comes natural to me |
| 19:28.16 | clive-h | It used to , to me |
| 19:28.33 | clive-h | But I've grown out of it |
| 19:28.59 | clive-h | Crayford is technically London but Dartford was always more Cockney |
| 19:29.44 | clive-h | Last contract I was working at Clapham |
| 19:29.58 | clive-h | I got called 'Luv' in shops |
| 19:30.20 | clive-h | That was odd, haven't heard that here in decades |
| 19:30.34 | clive-h | Not even at Dartford Market |
| 19:31.22 | boudiccas | i got called 'dearie' yesterday and it didn't click with me until i'd just left the room |
| 19:31.58 | clive-h | You live further in kent that I do I think |
| 19:32.02 | clive-h | than |
| 19:32.36 | clive-h | I've noticed that beyond Dartford things change dramatically |
| 19:34.13 | clive-h | Rochester is civilised |
| 19:34.33 | clive-h | Gravesend was a nightmare |
| 19:35.30 | clive-h | and Sheppey left me wondering if I'd gone through a TARDIS |
| 19:37.18 | boudiccas | clive-h; i live in maidstone, and it happened in aylesford |
| 19:37.56 | clive-h | I've not been to maidstone in 4 decades I think |
| 19:38.05 | clive-h | I know aylesford though |
| 19:38.21 | boudiccas | its all changed then, you'd hardly recognise it i should think |
| 19:38.29 | clive-h | Probably |
| 19:38.46 | clive-h | My lasting memory of Maidstone was the cattle market |
| 19:38.52 | boudiccas | thats gone |
| 19:39.06 | clive-h | I'm not really surprised |
| 19:39.12 | boudiccas | hasn't been here in the last 14 years since i've been here |
| 19:39.26 | clive-h | as I say 40 years or so |
| 19:39.45 | clive-h | I don't drive so Maidstone is fairly inaccesible |
| 19:40.09 | boudiccas | its on the main railway line london to dover/canterbury |
| 19:40.13 | clive-h | Normally if I'm going into kent it's medway or the coast |
| 19:40.24 | boudiccas | but sometimes it does seem like a backwater |
| 19:40.33 | clive-h | I live in SE London |
| 19:40.45 | boudiccas | i like rochetser |
| 19:40.55 | boudiccas | rochester even |
| 19:40.59 | clive-h | I'd have to change at Chatham for maidstone |
| 19:41.15 | clive-h | yeah rochester has character |
| 19:41.32 | clive-h | reminds of godalming in surrey |
| 19:41.34 | boudiccas | i avoid chatham as far as possible. chathamites are what i think of as 'chavs' |
| 19:41.39 | clive-h | reminds me |
| 19:41.51 | clive-h | yes they are chavs |
| 19:42.06 | clive-h | as indeed are the local youths here |
| 19:42.16 | boudiccas | big blousy fattish women with tattoos, smoking fags and gossipping noisily and with big gold earrings |
| 19:42.34 | clive-h | well yes |
| 19:43.14 | clive-h | I don't like Chatham |
| 19:43.14 | boudiccas | that to me is a female chav |
| 19:43.15 | clive-h | and my impression of Strood is even worse |
| 19:43.27 | boudiccas | don't know much about strood |
| 19:43.50 | clive-h | Only really from standing on the station a while |
| 19:43.56 | boudiccas | i'm not sure how i'd describe a male chav |
| 19:44.07 | clive-h | There's nothing I'd go to in Strood |
| 19:44.32 | clive-h | Hoodies, trainers, foul mouth |
| 19:44.35 | boudiccas | that reminds me... odeon cinema ... i must ring my mother |
| 19:45.00 | clive-h | chavs are pack animals |
| 19:45.12 | hali | "what do chavs and slinkys have in common?" |
| 19:45.39 | hali | "neither is any useful but it sure is fun to watch one fall down a flight of stairs" :) |
| 19:45.46 | clive-h | tsk |
| 19:45.51 | boudiccas | lol |

| 19:47.13 | clive-h | This is why I don't go out at night or open my door unless I'm expecting a caller |
| 19:47.13 | kant_ | how are you? |
| 19:48.21 | clive-h | i'd rather go to brighton than margate anyway |
| 19:49.38 | kant_ | is brighton good ? |
| 19:49.58 | clive-h | I like it, it has a lot of character |
| 19:50.10 | kant_ | i have to go there then.. |
| 19:50.14 | clive-h | Some nice restaurants |
| 19:50.29 | kant_ | i was supposed to go in may, but i'm staying in london |
| 19:50.40 | clive-h | and a punnet of prawns on the sea front is always nice |

| 19:52.24 | clive-h | in |
| 19:52.37 | kant_ | hali: everyone? |
| 19:52.43 | hali | everything* |
| 19:52.57 | clive-h | Not really true |
| 19:53.11 | hali | and probably everyone, people are more likely to come to zone 1 then you are to go to everyone else :) |
| 19:53.41 | clive-h | If you're visiting London you're missing a lot if you don't go to Greenwich |
| 19:53.49 | clive-h | which is zone 3 |
| 19:54.01 | clive-h | and Kew is zone 5 or 6 |
| 19:54.08 | kant_ | clive-h: i will have time to go there in june .. since i'm coming there to stay |
| 19:54.33 | clive-h | I can't recall if Camden Town is zone 1 or 2 |
| 19:54.46 | hali | 1 |
| 19:55.01 | clive-h | But Camden Market is London's third most popular attraction |
| 19:55.06 | hali | at least the tube station is, not sure about camden town itself... i think kentish town is zone 2 |
| 19:55.53 | clive-h | it's probably on the border of 1 and 2 |
| 19:55.53 | kant_ | i've been to camden town |
| 19:55.53 | clive-h | i shall miss the Electric Ballroom |
| 19:59.15 | clive-h | A river cruise from central london to greenwich is quite an experience |
| 19:59.46 | clive-h | It's not on a level with a cruise on the Seine but it's worth doing |
| 20:02.52 | kant_ | clive-h: i'm taking notes |
| 20:03.30 | clive-h | Other than that I've no ideas |
| 20:03.43 | clive-h | I've lived here all my life |
| 20:03.57 | clive-h | I've not been places tourists go |
| 20:03.58 | kant_ | clive-h: and never came to italy? you're crazy :P |

| 20:05.32 | clive-h | but not watched the debates |
| 20:06.01 | kant_ | clive-h: tourists do that ? |
| 20:06.14 | clive-h | it's quite popular |
| 20:06.27 | kant_ | i'm not a typical tourist then |
| 20:07.22 | clive-h | if i was a tourist in london i'd go to the art galleries and museums |
| 20:07.38 | kant_ | i have been to a few museums |
| 20:07.40 | clive-h | that's what i do abroad mostly |
| 20:08.43 | clive-h | Other than sit and drink cold beer on the beach in Thailand on Xmas Day |
| 20:08.55 | kant_ | must be amazing though |
| 20:08.56 | kant_ | :D |
| 20:09.03 | clive-h | but that was a little different |
| 20:09.16 | kant_ | and thai girls must be something .. what do you say ? |
| 20:09.40 | clive-h | Not much idea, I was there with my ex-GF |
| 20:09.52 | clive-h | It was Xmas 1999 |
| 20:10.00 | kant_ | did she remove your eyes when you 2 went abroad ? |
| 20:10.19 | clive-h | I went *with* her |
| 20:10.35 | kant_ | so you didn't have your eyes ? |
| 20:10.44 | clive-h | She was my girlfriend then |
| 20:11.06 | kant_ | but still, you did have eyes.. you could spot some thai girls |
| 20:11.23 | clive-h | We were flying back the next day cos I refused to fly back over the millennium |
| 20:11.58 | kant_ | because of the millennium bug? |

| 20:30.22 | Dick_Turpin | clive-h, Are they rude? where are they? |
| 20:31.33 | clive-h | A couple of fairly techie channels on ircnet, a goth channel on somewhere else |
| 20:31.57 | Dick_Turpin | clive-h, just when things started looking up |
| 20:32.05 | clive-h | and a private channel (but no rude) on a friend's own irc server |

| 20:41.16 | clive-h | I've never been in a eel and mash shop |
| 20:41.35 | clive-h | The very idea makes me shudder |

| 20:42.40 | boudiccas | Dick_Turpin; who was that comment directed at? |
| 20:42.53 | clive-h | There was a fish and chip shop |
| 20:43.04 | clive-h | It was all fried in beef lard |
| 20:43.06 | boudiccas | damn, i've just picked a hole in my lip and i'm leaking |

| 20:44.00 | boudiccas | anyways, when i say 'sossidges' you all know what i'm talking about even though we all seem to call them by differernt names |
