Only Japanese I learnt was "Sumimasen" followed by pointing at the menu |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Umbro what is the motivation for learning Japanese, is it to get a big titted Japanese's girlfriend, or to tour japan with your music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Got nothing better to do than make music and learn japanese |
||||||||
|
|

well its a noble goal! best of luck |

I'm working these two weeks in Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes appears to be what I imagine the dull bits of America are like; swathes of car parks, business parks, retail parks, empty pedestrian "boulevards" and low-rise offices as far as the eye can see. I spend my lunch mooching round listening to Hz by Main and freaking myself out. The rest of the time I'm in some almost silent, sparsely populated building. I can't just say that I'm an office temp. I have to make out I'm channelling J.G Fucking Ballard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just fucking roundabouts everywhere, Milton Keynes is the most mediocre place on the planet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the town centre is like some weird set from a 70s episode of doctor who |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's exactly how it feels. So I walk around listening to drone-y, ambient, shortwave style music and imagine I am going to be set upon by a band of mutants. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Grimly compelling. I wonder if there's a vaporwave or Basinski style version of "Wired for Sound".... |
||||||||
|
|

imagine your being ambushed by a roller-skating, lycra clad cliff Richard |

ive been to Milton Keynes more times that I care to count, my gf has relatives there, one of my aunties used to live there. All the people there look weird, like middle aged blokes with weird features, its like some sort of dystopian nightmare of a place, it has no character of itself, its like a giant lego set |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

Well quite. When some people here were leaving for lunch today, one of the women asked me if I was ok going out, if I knew where everything was? And I said I was fine, and that I liked having a look round. And she laughed and said how boring it all was round here and I said I kind of liked it, like it was the future but from the past. And she kind of went "oh" and I assumed she just though I was talking rubbish and being weird, and she went "... yeah, kind of dystopian". And, all relieved that I wasn't a freak, or that I'd at least found another freak, I said "Exactly. I love it!" |

|
|
its definitely stepford wives type of place, yes I do like the weird feeling, it would be great to walk around after an apocalyptic event. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I forgot a bit of the story. When I said I liked having a walk round having a look, the woman said to this American guy who was there "Oh, you used to do that when you first joined" and he went "Uh, yeah I did" with this faintly haunted look on his face. WHAT HAD HE SEEN? WHAT CAN'T HE UNSEE? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
loool yeah, that's the best summation of Milton Keynes you can have really |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I felt car sick from going clockwise around these roundabouts so often, |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

" Forget New York, Paris or London, for any roundabout lover, it’s all about Milton Keynes. Nowhere in the UK has such a high concentration of roundabouts. Depending on your own view of what’s worthy of the definition ’roundabout’, this roundabout Mecca has between 300-1300 of them. While some people may view Milton Keynes as somewhere there isn’t much going on, for any self-respecting roundabout enthusiast, it can provide hours, days, if not weeks of fun. Surely, the Milton Keynes’ Tourist Board has missed a trick by not publicising this haven of circular sensations." looooooooooooool |
||||||||

|
|
the city will grow and grow, there are roundabouts on the outskirts where there are only two exits and one of those is the one used to enter the roundabout. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its like driving in mario kart test circuits there was nothing but loads of weird small and large roundabouts,... awaiting the buildings to be built around them |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
perhaps aliens are building them as some sort of human experiment, I doubt the council has a record of how many round abouts there are. there could be like 3d roundabouts you go through a loop or stacked on top of one another |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its some sort of bureaucracy that has a life of its one, its the only explanation for the ridiculous amount of roundabouts, its insane. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that would be fun and more useful a loop the loop in your family car might get more tourists. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they plan to build hyper million of millions of new homes buildings. i swear i drove for 30 mins through mario battle circuits. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, if you had another set of wheels on the roof of your car like monster truck ones if you didn't make the full loop you wouldn't die you could just drive back |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the who of the uk will be a massive Milton Keynes like concrete conurbation, with sofa retail outlets the only place to visit |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they could extend out the roof like inspector gadget so you dont fall at all might costa bit to install this at halfords before people go to milton but their tourist trade would be enorm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imagine if the only form of transport was those small miniature railways you see in parks, but they were hundreds of miles long and went through miniature tunnels |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a doctor who and star trek tos museum! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
now your thinking about the umpa lumpas perhaps! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
imagine driving a monster truck through Milton Keynes but just driving over the middle of all the roundabouts and over all the shit plastic plants |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
might improve trade. what the hek are we on about? lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
