  1. Word, On the street here is it isn't Viduka making himself unavailable. Just in case anyone is interested.
  2. Leningrad Cowboys Go America Have to admit I haven't seen the second film or the concert, the band grew out of the films but I'm going to order it.
  3. I think digital media is one of the most obvious areas - people won't buy albums on CD anymore soon. Whereas Rob is still getting over switching from 78s to LPs. Although I still buy vinyl when I can, the phrase "turn the record over" is all but gone.

    First Car

    1967 English built Mk I Morris Cooper S (they were also made in Aust), that some bastard had gutted and replaced with 1100K running gear. Spent months trying to fix the problems to eventually throw my hands in the air and go and buy a Mk II that was mint. Cars have been like guitars for me, I've had loads of them, 15 and half a dozen bikes.

    More tetchy about people who insist that anybody that the general public likes is shit, and only the people that they list (of whom 95% of people have never heard of) are the ones with talent. Pisses me off because it's bullshit. It is clearly bullshit to an extent, but the above is just as much a straw man argument as "Thompers says that everybody the general public likes is great and anyone who isn't well-known mustn't be talented enough to succeed". Opposed to the complete bollocks that Kid Cock and James Bl©unt have any talent at all! I've never heard a single track by either. They're great you really should try them before they become popular Ditto. Never even heard of them artists.

  7. FYP Don't be fooled by Rossi's finishing position. Only two bikes with Bridgestones finished in the top half, Stoner and Rossi which must scare the other teams because they finished 1st and 4th respectively on shite tires so what's to gong to be like once they get their tires right? HF, superbikes and MotoGp are two different categories. And baseball's not rounders....they're both still boring as fuck. Mate for a man that thinks Aki Kaurismäki's first student film about drying paint entitled Paint Dry is a masterpiece that's a big call. Now you mention it, he was interviewed in last months Sight and Sound, I wanted to take a look at his stuff. Thanks for the reminder. HF, if that's the case just start at Leningrad Cowboys Go America, the man is a genius (and not of James Bl©unt proportions.) Also if you get a chance see to see Aki's older brother, Maki, film Zombie and the Ghost train (Zombie ja Kummitusjuna) make sure you see it, it's a classic of Finnish cinema.

    Can't we just organise a public stoning (Alex bring your pipe) of all these annoying fuckers?

  10. A few facts just to help everyone understand in the end no one really cares. 'ize' is indeed the old English spelling and pronunciation. 'ise' is the correct contemporary English spelling and pronunciation. The fact is that American pronunciations are the original English pronunciations of the English language. American English was born out of the sectarian English Christians who settled in the States to avoid persecution in their native country.

  12. Greatest but forgotten band ever.
  13. There is always one turkey, hey sima? What's wrong with Faye doing the Mickey Jackson parts? The question actually is quite a sensible one considering KK could find his "killer"
  14. ....that we could then sign outside the transfer window, who should it be? (Just in case for those that don't know, under FIFA rules a player in the last year of their contract is entitled to buy out the remainder of their contract and then move clubs outside the transfer window, similar to what Diatta has done.) Thoughts?
  15. Can't be Smith, he's not good enough to score an own goal
  16. Yep and they seem to have a fair share of the real estate in and around Darwin. Once again Rob's mile high club wings fail him in the reality of the world. And they say being a trolley dolly let's you see the world. Would you like ice with that sir?
  17. Good to see Jose get a start but that midfield, fucking hell all huff and puff.
  18. Ah the optimism of the young. Our only hope is that as part of Bentley signing his pre-contract agreement for next season there is a clause where he agrees not to tear the top of our heads and shite down our necks for this game. Can't see it though.
