 Re:New member? - 2005/02/01 15:14 "No lurk. Only "urk"s are in "Turkish moussaka" and "twenty hysterical turkeys". Two instances of "smirk" and three of "church"."

I'm looking for someone who knows Jake's songs really well. Can anyone help?

I really admire a man who knows his stuff. Like my old boss. He's called Steve and he was always a very approachable manager, always encouraging his staff to ask questions. In one team meeting I remember him saying “If you ask me what day it is I’ll tell you it’s Wednesday – if you come back in 10 minutes and ask me what day it is, I’ll tell you it’s Wednesday again.”

And it works. The next day I came back to him and he told me it was still Wednesday.

 Re:New member? - 2005/02/01 15:30 Confession: unsurprisingly I ran text searches on my Word document containing the complete Jake lyrics (so far as we have them). Unfortunately I don't know the words to that many, although I have a rough idea of them all.

And don't knock Steve; there's a lot to be said for consistency - and for managers who are big-hearted enough to hire people who don't know what day of the week it is (unless he was looking for unpaid weekend overtime).

 Re:New member? - 2005/02/01 15:57 I liked the thinking behind the search. Lurk to Urk seems obvious, Smirk obviously rhymes. Then Church. There's a limerick there... hang on...

One thing that really does urk (!)
Is the people that just want to lurk
You don't have to search
You see them in church
They just sit on the altar and smirk

I would like to add as a footnote that I have absolutely nothing against lurkers of any sort, except the paparazzi that hide behind my lifesize statues of the royal family and snap me while I'm bending down for my Daily Express.

It is far better to say nothing than to announce that you have nothing to say. Or in my case, demonstrate it.

 Re:New member? - 2005/02/01 16:37 I know the feeling. Jake sounds as if he might well have gone on about lurking; but actually he was more of a moocher (as in "Mooching up a ginnel" in [i]I stayed off work today[i]). In 2000 he wrote to me about a visit I was due to make to see him: "Stay over and we can have a bit of a mooch around Monmouth."

 Re:New member? - 2005/02/01 23:05 Hej

(That's pronounounced "Hi" and means "Hello" in Danish. So the Americans are descended from Vikings)

I've also been thinking that Jake would have made some comment on the internet communicators.

Try setting these words to a familiar "Romany" tune

He was only a lurker.
The sort of site reader of the silent type.
He gives no name, and he’s not to blame
If he only wants to read the notes, but then not post.

Hej, Hej

(that's bye bye)
