So Who's Still Up And Why?

[walpurgis]

Obviously, this is a late night thread.

I'm just here to keep annoying you lot and finish putting the sound system back together as I disassembled a lot of it earlier. Not to mention, I'm chilling out with a beer or two!

What's your excuse?


(I bet Bev's still up and about, but she's been quiet lately)

[southall-1998]

I'm still up.

[Andrew B]

Waiting for UFC main event. Also had a nap earlier.

[Roy S]

Ain't long had me dinner!

Watching V on C4 HD.

[southall-1998]

You never sleep properly at night do you, Andrew?. Because your always planning your next hi-fi box swap :D

[walpurgis]

I never sleep properly at night either. It's daft, I doze off easily enough during the day (for about half an hour), especially if I've had a meal!

[Andrew B]

Hehe true, you got me there! I keep a close eye on the American EBay, so this is peak time ;)

[southall-1998]

I'm off to bed in 15 min :( Nothing but hifi thoughts in my brain...gonna be hard getting to sleep once again!!!!

[walpurgis]

Hehe true, you got me there! I keep a close eye on the American EBay, so this is peak time ;)

I'm just poking about eBay cars. Dunno why, I've got three motors already, but you never know!

[YNWaN]

Watching Basket Case II and doing some crossover CAD.

[DSJR]

Waiting on sonny jim to get ready for bed - he promised to be early tonight and in the hols, this is early!!!!!!!!!!!!! Following the Doctor Who missing episodes threads on a couple of sites - mega omnirumour regarding possible recoveries just won't give up ;)

[pjdowns]

In bed and about to go to sleep :)

[Barry]

I am - because I'm a night person.

[StanleyB]

I am on holiday right now and busy trying to finish off another bottle of wine. Can't go to bed till then.

[WOStantonCS100]

It's only 20:44 where I am; so, yup, I'm still up. :D I haven't even started the nights listening session... ...along with some homemade pie and ice cream. Cheers!

[Audio Al]

Working :(

[pjdowns]

[synsei]

I'm still up coz me back has been giving me grief all night... :(

[Trumpton_Rioter]

[pjdowns]

Still doing stuff and no signs of heading for bed yet.

Sorting my cables out. God do I really need this many?

NO

[southall-1998]

I'm still up thinking about every thing including Hi-Fi :D

[The Grand Wazoo]

I'm reclaiming my Sunday, as I spent the best bit of it wrestling with DIY and gardening nonsense in a garden two & a half hours drive away!
Bottle of wine, belly full of beautiful homemade curry (the fourth curry this week!), some good music and an AoS catch-up session.

[walpurgis]

Gardening? I avoid it like the plague.

I just cut the hedge and mow the grass. If anybody here wants anything fancier they deal with it themselves!

[Rare Bird]

No probs here regarding gardening..I live in a flat with a balcony & flower boxes just like Mary, Mungo & Midge :)

[Andrew B]

4:26 am and still up. God knows what time I'll wake up. Why? Beats me. I just can't sleep.

[Marco]

It's the sign of a troubled mind.... ;)

Marco.

[Trumpton_Rioter]

or a guilty mind ................

[Joe]

More likely not enough exercise.

[Andrew B]

I'm stress free, guilt free and walked about 7 miles yesterday lol

Maybe it's too much forum browsing getting me wanting more kit!

[Joe]

It's the forum browsing, deffo. Apart from the new kit stuff, you're always at risk of reading some knobhead spouting ludicrous opinions, and, even if you don't respond, you end up seething and raising the old blood pressure.

Me, I get to bed around midnight and sleep through till 7am, because I retain a Zen-like detachment from forum gibberish.

:lol: Yep I get that too!

[walpurgis]

Right you lot. We've now reached the point where you need to start explaining yourselves!

I'm still up 'cos I don't have to be up early tomorrow. Dentist at 12.00 is my first commitment.

[Rare Bird]

I'm up because im now at work on nights :( Roll on 10:00am.

[Andrew B]

Still not sleepy. It's after 2 here and I need to be up early.

[walpurgis]

I'm up because im now at work on nights :( Roll on 10:00am.

Work? Oh yes, I vaguely remember something like that. I retired early over four years ago. I'm a real pensioner now since July. I do get bored sometimes though.

[Rare Bird]

I work way too many hours Geoff but it's all money at the end of it..just look forward to the weekend to get something done..I suppose im lucky having a computer & music at work :eyebrows:

[Ninanina]

I'm just a night owl.... always have been :stalks::stalks:

[Gazzamongo]

Preparing for the battle against the dreaded stachybotrys chartarum ( less fun than it sounds )

[walpurgis]

I work way too many hours Geoff but it's all money at the end of it..just look forward to the weekend to get something done..I suppose im lucky having a computer & music at work :eyebrows:

I remember working week on, week off, night shifts years ago. Totally did my nut in. I just could not adjust and packed the job in.

[Rare Bird]

around 80 hours a week, nuts i know..

[The Grand Wazoo]

I'm up because, I generally am at this time. Catching up on some AoS stuff, listening to some Muddy Waters on my newly revitalised little Genexxa speakers (still smelling of solder from earlier this evening!). I'm going to have to spend the next half hour tidying tools and things away from the kitchen, then maybe another half hour with my nose in a book but I'll be up at 6:30.

[Ninanina]

I'm also still up because I'm sooo exited about getting another bit of hifi in the morning post..... can't wait it's a real oddball too :D little things please little minds I guess!!

This one's not cost very much either.... I'm intrigued :D

[Rare Bird]

Chris:
it will be 6:30 before you know it.. :)

[Thing Fish]

I'm still up because I work nights...:)

So am I, do tell... ;)

[Ninanina]

So am I, do tell... ;)

Are now this will be telling........:)

I am now listening to a Temple Audio Bantam amplifier in my system

It is sooooo tiny, but the odd thing is I would describe it as at least 95% of my best tube amplifier which would now cost approximately £2,500 new

I think anyone who hasn't listened to the absolute BEST of the BEST would be mighty impressed with this wee little amp

Whether I think that extra 5% is worth around £800 (if I sold my Oto on) I am just not sure at the moment :scratch::scratch:

It's such a little cutie...

I'll keep you posted ;)

Dave what new bit of kit are you getting today???? It's such fun getting new stuff :eek::eek:

[Rare Bird]

Last night shift tonight, i'll be in that boozer tomorrow :eyebrows:

[walpurgis]

Well I've been up until now to see what's going on, but I'll be turning in shortly!
Just going to kiss my Tannoys goodnight! :)

[pjdowns]

Have a stinker of a cold so was up a lot of the night coughing :(

[walpurgis]

Getting late!

Why aren't you in bed? I've got an excuse, I don't need to be up early. :)

[Audio Al]

[southall-1998]

I'm still up trying to make myself sleepy :)

About to have a couple of nice lagers actually. Late night tipple! :)

[Thing Fish]

Im working all night again.

[Rare Bird]

Im working all night again.

Don't you get fed up with it day after day Dave?

[Thing Fish]

I've been on permanent nights now for 5 1/2 years. I'd leave but there ain't nothing else out there.

[Audio Al]

I'm up

Been trying to find a 1mm Allen key to remove the arm rest from my OL arm , I have every size except 1mm :rolleyes:
Looks like I will be off to see if I can find one later when the shops open

[Rare Bird]

I've been on permanent nights now for 5 1/2 years. I'd leave but there ain't nothing else out there.

Yeh im the same Dave..Bloody long weeks from 3:00pm in the afternoon through to 10:00am all week +what ever else i get lumped with..

[walpurgis]

So, nearly time for a kip. Just enjoyed a couple of beers and a poke about on here (nothing but crap on the box) and I'm going to turn in. Nite, Nite! :)

[Roy S]

Ran out of alcohol so bed soon

[Marco]

Time for a wank first, though, shurely? :eyebrows:

Night night!!

[walpurgis]

Well I've been up until now poking about on here (and eBay), but bed beckons! Nite, Nite.

Dornier 'DO335' :eyebrows:

Yup. Very interesting plane!

[walpurgis]

Well I'm still up for the time being. Having a beer and waiting for my daughter to come home from work. Don't feel as though I need a kip yet anyway!

[The Grand Wazoo]

God knows why I'm still up - I didn't get to bed till almost 3 this morning!

[Macca]

It's Saturday night. And beer still to drink.

[Ninanina]

Still up cos I never sleep :brickwall:

[Rare Bird]

Up becuase windows just failed to start oop on the wifes Laptop, taken me all night to get everything sorted & a new O/S installed

[Roy S]

Planes, Trains & Automobiles is on E4

[Roy S]

& now X: The Unknown on BBC2

Damm , good film that, but i dont have a TV. Better play some more music, maybe a train, or plane/ car themed tune.

[jollyfix]

Tonight is an exact repeat performance. Still tinkering about on here and elsewhere on the net, having a couple of beers (god knows I could use them after the hangover I had this morning after my fortnightly pub visit) and taking it easy with no immediate plans for bed.

[Andrew B]

Pretty early yet. Not even thinking of bedtime for a couple of hours

[Roy S]

'From Dusk Till Dawn' on Four & there's still Brandy in this bottle :D

[Tim]

Right this minute I'm listening to The Broken Family Band and was just reading Emily Barker's limited edition book, Complete Lyrics (2003-2013)

[Andrew B]

Still up. Short days and long hours of darkness play havoc with my body clock

[pjdowns]

Just about to go to bed as I have work in the morning :(

[pjdowns]

'From Dusk Till Dawn' on Four & there's still Brandy in this bottle :D

I rather favor a 'titty twister' at this time of the night...:eyebrows:

[Roy S]

I rather favor a 'titty twister' at this time of the night...:eyebrows:

If I could find one I'd be there (and the threat of imminent death would have added to the frisson)

[pjdowns]

Still up but off to bed shortly as I have work in the morning... although, I have next week off... yay :) :D

[Rare Bird]

I'm up Cos i'm working nights, last shift tomorrow. Pub's calling already

:)

[struth]

always up...Always on call.....:):eek:

[Andrew B]

It's still way too early to call it a night. I've never liked to turn in early. Then again, getting up earlier than 9am is simply unacceptable unless there's an intruder or a fire :)

[Thing Fish]

Up as working tonight. Gives me time to 'HootSuite' my social channels though so all is good...:)

[Marco]

Gives me time to 'HootSuite' my social channels...:)

Wossat den in English? :eyebrows:

[Thing Fish]

Wossat den in English? :eyebrows:

'Hootsuite' is a social network dashboard which allows you to send one composed message out to several social networks at the same time. Either live or scheduled for some other time.:)

[Audio Al]

I am still up and will be until about 1.30am :D

[Marco]

Ah, thanks for the clarification, Dave. As I don't participate in that sort of bollocks, I'll file the info in the bin ;)

Churz! :cool:

Marco.

[pjdowns]

Just off to bed...

[Effem]

I'm still up trawling ebay for an Aircast support boot, one of those contraptions that's better and lighter than a plaster cast :rolleyes: Must be good because Wayne Rooney wore one when he injured his foot. Yep, old minge face can AFFORD a brand new one can't he?

Bid on one earlier and got beaten by £1.

A couple on there with 9 day listings and "collection only". Tossers. I have a busted foot NOW not in 10+ days time and fer foock's sake it's small and light so all they have to do is bung it in a carrier bag and I would be happy to send a courier to collect. Tossers, tossers, tossers, all of them. There, I feel better now :lol:

[synsei]

I'm up because the dogs decided to go on the rampage in the kitchen and chew up anything they could get their teeth into. This is not typical behaviour from them so my best guess is that recent firework activity has unsettled them.

[Andrew B]

Rampaging through the kitchen during the night, chewing up anything I can sink my teeth into is entirely normal behaviour for me :)

[synsei]

Ah, so you are he...


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hro4AdTYiTA

:D

[Andrew B]

Not far off! :)

Straight for anything sweet and plenty of it. No wonder I'm up most of the night.

[pjdowns]

Been playing puter games on me iPad so probably should go to bed now as I have to be at work soonish

[walpurgis]

Well here we remaining few are.

I'm having a lazy night indoors and trying to keep out of the 'other half's' way while I have a look on here and eBay now and then and fettle my 'new' (used, refurb, but very nice) PC, whilst knocking back my second lager of the evening. :cool:

[Roy S]

Been twiddling with me MP-10 :D

[Andrew B]

Watching Father Ted

[RichB]

Upset stomach:(

[Audio Al]

[The Grand Wazoo]

[Arkless Electronics]

Pissed and eating a ruby... That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it... Good evening gentlemen :)

[RichB]

Pissed and eating a ruby... That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it... Good evening gentlemen :)

Precisely the cause of my bad guts. You'll be spending a quid in ones and twos tomoorw mate!

[Andrei]

I'm outta sync with the UK but my excuse tonight will be watching Carlsen -v- Anand: starts in less than an hour.

[walpurgis]

Well I'm still on here and eBay and also having a poke about on 'download.com' for interesting free software (not found any yet though). I'm using my new recently sourced browser, Maxthon 2, works a treat (off download.com).

Just had two lagers and chilling out basically. I'll have another before turning in. No early rise for me, one of the benefits of retirement.

Think I'll have a look at PC accessories on eBay now!

Cheers. :cool:

[Arkless Electronics]

You call this late? :eyebrows:

Me and Fiona frantically putting up Christmas Trees / Decorations because BBC Wales/S4C are filming a 'Christmas Special' Welsh programme from our house on Tuesday and Wednesday!

Still very awake

Just been up to the loft to retrieve a violin I purchased years ago with the good intention of learning but never did...... Even though I am now pretty old I am STILL contemplating learning it.... Just emailed a local teacher, she may well just laugh but you gotta try ain't ya...???

I used to play guitar a bit when I was VERY young and I pestered my parents for a violin but it never came.... shame I could have been the next Vanessa-Mae.... he he he.... :doh::doh:

[The Barbarian]

Still up cos my brains on fire, im like this all the time apparently!

[walpurgis]

Still up. Having a couple of nice lagers and nowhere near ready for bed yet despite it now being Christmas Day. At least I've got everything organised for the family tomorrow. May play some rather loud and unpopular music around lunchtime just to be annoying. ;)

[synsei]

I am hitching the Reindeer up to the sleigh... :D

[Roy S]

Working on a hangover

[walpurgis]

Working on a hangover

I'd probably like to earn one, but I don't think three strongish lagers and a slurp of the wife's wine will quite get me there.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Just sitting around, smoothing out to the first J. Airplane album, a nice bottle of wine on the go, having a wee bit noodle on the net, seein' what's afoot.

[Audio Al]

I am up looking for Santa , he wont fool me, I will get him ;)

Success! (Now Coffee or Bucks Fizz?...)

[RobbieGong]

And I'm up pondering why santa hasnt brought all the lovely upgrades I hoped he would :(

[RichB]

Because drink just ain't cutting it

[Yomanze]

Decided to leave the 7.5% ales and rum for another night. Would definitely be floored by now if I hadn't!

[walpurgis]

Well I'm about to pop a 7% lager. Only had one 4.8% beer so far tonight. I have some catching up to do.

After Xmas, I'm going to have a good dry out for the new year.

[Roy S]

Invited out for dinner tomorrow, hope I can remember who & when :drinking: (laddos going to a Nandos in town)

[walpurgis]

Well, between watching American Rock on BBC4 and knocking back a few lagers, I've been poking about on here and eBay. Not going to bed just yet. Very pissed off (not pissed yet though) at my inability to listen to my Hi-Fi properly due to hearing problems, which I hope may clear up soon. Bummer! :(

[Gordon Steadman]

I'm sitting up in bed in the spare room here reading a book on the laptop. The back is bad tonight and stops me sleeping. I keep groaning and moving about trying to get comfortable and it just keeps Ronnie awake too. She has trouble enough getting off to sleep without me adding to her problem.

Every now and again I take a break from the book and browse the net a bit. This site and an American woodturning site are my standard visits.

Hopefully, the pain will subside enough to allow me some sleep.

Back to the sci-fi:)

[The Grand Wazoo]

Fab music - loads to play.
I've a pile of about 15 albums to get through - just keeping 'em spinning!

[Roy S]

The old Dansette's sounding good tonight so maybe one more cd (or two) :)

Ouch :( Hope the back eases up and you get some sleep soon Gordon.

[Gordon Steadman]

Ouch :( Hope the back eases up and you get some sleep soon Gordon.
Thanks Keith, its easing a bit as I'm sitting up. The problem is that when I do sleep, I tend to skip down flat and it all starts again!!

Anyway, I'm into this story about Voodoo (supposed to be sci-fi!!) Keep seeing shadows at the edge of my vision:eek:

I'm sure its just tiredness.............I think...........

[synsei]

Me and the missus are working our way through the first series of Ashes To Ashes having done both series of Life On Mars over the last couple of weeks :)

[Ninanina]

Just finished playing on my new twanger..... :eek:

[Ali Tait]

Not in public I hope...

[walpurgis]

Well I'm still up having an occasional look on here. Not a lot going on. Nothing worth watching on 'the box'. Having a beer or two but pretty bored really. Too late to start doing much without waking family. Wish I was camped in Wales panning for gold in a stream I know. It's an idea that just won't go away! Maybe in a few weeks when the weather turns better.

[Thing Fish]

Having a glass of wine and surfing the net. oh hum...

[Roy S]

Gremlins is on Gold :)

. Wish I was camped in Wales panning for gold in a stream I know. It's an idea that just won't go away! Maybe in a few weeks when the weather turns better.

lol that is something I have always wanted to do.

[Ninanina]

Well... even though Stewie looks sleepy....

1) Moving speakers so they toe out a bit more, meant to do it months ago
2) Still listening to some toons... not loud as I have neighbours, but luckily the Klipsch can still sound full range quite quietly
3) Some funny texting
4) On here a bit

Not tired, as normal, so up for a while yet

[pjdowns]

About to fall into my pit as I have work tomorrow :( :(

[RobbieGong]

knocked da counterweight on my arm removing da potsy lid from my Techie about a month ago and lost the sweet spot. Been trying to find it on and off for weeks (final vta adjust - on da fly thank God). Found it this evening and system is now sounding beautiful again :D been indulging in tune after tune after tune - you get the jist. I know I should go to bed and will pay in the morning 6.15 start, but I just cant stop playing bloody tunes :lol:

[walpurgis]

Well, I'm having a beer or three (and chatting with Andr'e) so I thought I'd drag this thread back up and see who's still poking about on here (and what your excuse may be).

[The Grand Wazoo]

Chatting with a few folks, playin' some music, slurpin' some red.

Supping Single Malt & watching Zep live in London 2007

Well I've just finished watching the 7/11 replay on 'More4'. Sad stuff.

The old Barbarian tried ter stop drinkin' but been out boozing tonight!

Utterly disgraceful! :)

I wanted to go to the boozer tonight (I've only been once since the new year). But being sensible, I opted for a beer or so indoors (and nicked a bit of the wife's scotch and wine). Sure as hell don't feel like going to bed yet.

Anyway, where's Bev? she's always a late one and chips in about this time of night.

Classic Andy, if you like your sour mash whiskey, then try and track down a bottle of Eagle rare 10yr old single barrel. Very nice.

That's a new one to me Dave, i'll investigate.........;)

[walpurgis]

I'm still wide awake. Finishing a lager or two and poking about on here and catching a bit of TV.

Off to Cornwall to visit family again Sunday, so also doing a bit of sorting out and packing preparation.

[Ninanina]

Cos I'm still listening to lots of toons.... !!! :):)

[Audio Al]

I went to bed at midnight , stayed awake for 2 hours so decided to get up again ! :)

Just seen this on BBCs website (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-29253796) about this year's IgNobel Prize winners:
PSYCHOLOGY: Peter Jonason, of the University of Western Sydney, Australia, and colleagues for amassing evidence that people who habitually stay up late are, on average, more self-admiring, more manipulative, and more psychopathic than people who habitually arise early in the morning.

Was this a late night typo, or do you prefer the 15yr old to the normal 16yr old?

[synsei]

I was up most of last night as I could not stop listening to music on mi new 'speekaz'. Lubbly jubbly... :D

[Andrei]

One of these is illegal where I come from.

MM Is quite nice. I used to get it from a supplier down Cornwall way, then Asda started to carry it.
Bourbon is my favourite, which is odd as I have so much malt all around.
Dickel and pappy van winkle were the greatest but its too dear now so I normally take Buffalo Trace.

[Ninanina]

I am still up.... because I havn't gone to bed yet..... :eek::eek::eek::D:D:D

I have a new little toy in my fifi and can't tear myself away from it .... :doh:

[walpurgis]

This thread has not been around lately, so I thought I'd revive it.

What are your reasons for being up late you naughty souls? I'm just bored and not ready for bed.

[symon]

I'm listening to/watching Chris Thile on Youtube, and not ready to go to bed yet. Also, telling myself that I can't afford/don't need the lovely valve amps on sale here. The're lovely and possibly/probably "better" than my lovely WAD valve amp.

[Anthony K]

I suffer with insomnia and was just about to take my tab

I'd be cautious Peter. The WAD amps are good. Which one do you have?

[walpurgis]

I suffer with insomnia and was just about to take my tab

So do I. But I've found taking a CoCodamol tablet and a Tesco Sleep aid tablet helps. If I'm having a bad patch, doing this gets me over a couple of days and then I seem to settle into normal sleep patterns for a while.

[symon]

Hmm.Not sure I meant WAD now. It's a WDKEL84. World Designs. It sounds great to me (which is why it doesn't take too much convincing at the moment to try something else).

[struth]

I'm awake coz I cant yet sleep :eyebrows: need a bit more alcohol me thinks. It always sends me to the land of nod. Was also awaiting my neighbour coming home. Her daughter had a few fits and had to be rushed into hospital. She has been kept in but is ok. Have also been taking a pic of my new speaks that look to be in fine conditon(I wonder what they'll sound like):)

[Ali Tait]

A very good amp, have one myself.

[symon]

A very good amp, have one myself.

Yes, I think so. I don't have much personal experience of valve amps, so I do occasionally wonder about getting a different one. But, for now I shall resist spending money I could use for other, more useful things.
Now I'm still up because it's time for a cup of tea and Gandalf's Fist on Spotify (hmmmm).

[Ali Tait]

You'd have to spend a fair bit to get something substantially better IMHO.

[symon]

Thanks. That's good to know. I'll make sure I get lots more enjoyment out of it. :) (Hmm, now, maybe I should think about rolling some tubes, then?)

Any. Nasty side effects???

Yes worth doing. What do you have in it?

[Ali Tait]

Another worthwhile exercise is changing the coupling caps.

[wiicrackpot]

....and the Shunt Mod if it hasn't been done already, amazing amp for the £260.00 i paid and wish i'd kept it.

[destroysall]

Hi, Chris here; my excuse for staying up is due to a blasted headache which seems to slowly being going away as I type this. A nice hot towel over the head and the sound of RainyMood.com is helping me plenty.

[walpurgis]

Any. Nasty side effects???

No. I'm sure it's pretty harmless if only used a couple of days.

Are you starting a thread on them with piccies and your observations? :)
