Howay man, stop fawning over them.

The Mage?

Palms chafing? Ask Jimbo for some tips...

Turkish people speak Turkish.

Metallica - One This can't possibly be 17 fucking years old already.

Ahhh, "my" band. Stood by that lot through thick and thin... and there's been plenty of thin. Can't believe they're still going really, saw them late last year in Hamburg and Andy Cairns is showing no signs of giving up, though his voice (and beer gut) are starting to show the strain. Whatever, "Troublegum" will always be my teenagey "mooch around the streets with my Walkman on full blast because life's so unfair" album.

Rather like the meaning of the "S" in "S Club 7", Luque is whatever you want him to be.

Eek, how was I to know my post would end up right after Gemmill's there?

Damn it, I didn't mean to be reasonable. That's Cath's job.

Call this cliquey or whatever, but... is it just me or is there a fairly clear distinction between the attitudes of those who've actually met other posters from the various incarnations of the forum(s) at pissups and for whom this whole Internet malarkey therefore has a tangible, real-life relevance, and those who seem to keep getting bogged down in this kind of conversation again and again? OK, so plenty of the pissup regulars are involved in this and the other circular threads we've been wasting our energy on recently, but a lot of it does seem to be down to the people who lack the kind of mutual respect you get from sharing an actual real-life pint or two, hence coming across as truly intent on incessantly dredging up these cute little cyber-spats and scoring as many Excellent Computer Rightness Points! as they can from behind their anonymous internet shields. Or something. Anyway, Luque's not a left-winger, he's a very naughty boy.

A Chinese takeaway or the Chinese takeaway? 60831[/snapback] They even gave me a money-off voucher this time 60832[/snapback] I imagine you've helped two or three of their kids through college by now

And then there's this... http://www.theburglarsdog.co.uk/_feat/cale...g/calendar.html

That's fucking harsh. ...on Gemmill.

I agree. Raccoon Head is far closer to the mark.

Are you smacked off your tits? 60789[/snapback] Run with us, we've got everything you need...

There's just one thing missing from this thread....

It's a big circus isn't it? Awful really, just hanging around outside the hospital waiting for the bloke to die so they can be the first to announce it. 60684[/snapback] And making most ordinary people think quite un-ordinary thoughts along the lines of "for fuck's sake just die already". There's something not quite right there.

I've told you before, I'm not interested in all the Mardi Gras costumes you picked up on your last trip to Darlinghurst...

Samantha is a lesbian? (Sorry to propagate an LM/HTL Special for a cheap laugh... )

Not that there was owt original about "Start!", mind...

I dunno, I'd say the Jam's genuinely original, and hence influential, phase stretches from Tube Station in late '78 to Town Called Malice in early '82. Before that they were too derivative to be groundbreaking musically, though I'm sure they made an impact in terms of style and attitude, and afterwards it was all downhill towards the whole Style Council sound.

Got a text from him a few days ago, saying he'd changed phone numbers. Was one of the few Toontastic-ers I met, and he seemed canny enough. 60337[/snapback] And I got a text from him a few weeks ago from his old number, complaining that the "Accrington Stanley? Oo're they?" advert hadn't been included in some Best TV Ads Ever show. Legend. 60447[/snapback] Does he write REALLY REALLY long texts? 60448[/snapback] Exachhhhly! Actually, it was quite concise really. I miss not having JJ around on MSN when I'm still up at 5am bashing out some financial translation rubbish and I fancy a natter about Lithuanian Euro qualifiers.

Tsk... go find the thread.
