  5. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7452341.stm Martin walks out of BBC interview Chris Martin Coldplay singer Chris Martin has walked out of a BBC interview while promoting the band's new album. Nine minutes into the pre-recorded interview for Radio 4 arts show Front Row, the 31-year-old asked to leave the studio as he was not enjoying himself. The band's drummer, Will Champion, was left to answer questions from presenter John Wilson until Martin returned for one final question. Coldplay's new album, Viva La Vida, was released on Thursday. 'Journalistically twisting' Martin appeared uncomfortable with the interview from the outset. When asked about a speech he made at a music awards ceremony in 2005 where he said the band would be away "for a very long time", Martin said: "I always say stupid things and I think Radio 4 is the place that will most remind me of that." Coldplay The band had French Revolution-style uniforms made to promote the album Presenter Wilson questioned whether the new album - full title, Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends - was a morbid reflection of the band's lyrical obsession with death. "I wouldn't agree with you there at all, no," said Martin. "I'd say you're journalistically twisting me into saying something I don't really mean." A few minutes later, Martin said he was "not really enjoying this" and that he did not really like "having to talk about things". Champion answered the remaining questions before the frontman returned to answer a final question, about finding new musical territory, with the response: "Um....yes...yes, yes....exactly..." Sales figures released by the Official UK Charts Company confirm Viva La Vida sold 125,000 copies in its first day on sale. It looks certain to be number one in this Sunday's album chart despite only being released towards the end of the week. Miserable, Primadonna, Depressive are just some of the words people could use.
  6. Retard are a little too alternative, IMHO.
  7. Not finished yet, still not particularly enamoured by it. Hate Lily Allen with a fucking passion. But I ought to for sure. Not enough reasons for personal abuse on here yet.
  8. I actually quite like this.
  9. Those of you who have been paying attention may recall I am working on a remix of Smile as the culmination of a music course. Hand in is due next week and I need a name.....the style of music is dub and fkd up dnb Anyone got any stunning ideas for a moniker?
  10. I've always thought Harper was as good as Given, should be England keeper, sick of the sound of my own voice in this regard. How old is Harps? 5 years left in him at least?
  11. apostrophes are underrated tbh
  12. congrats, now, I have this nagging pain in the neck....
  13. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/footbal...tch-409168.html Shepherd thanks Chelsea for 'big favour' as Duff seals £5m switch By Simon Rushworth Tuesday, 25 July 2006 Freddy Shepherd, the Newcastle United chairman, surprised the rest of English football yesterday by going out of his way to thank Chelsea ­ he said they had done him a "big favour" selling Damien Duff to the Tyneside club for a mere £5m. Newcastle's offer was accepted even though Tottenham and Liverpool are believed to have outbid them by £2m in the race for Duff's services. The Republic of Ireland international denied he was anxious to quit London and so it would appear that local rivalry and, perhaps, Spurs' proximity to Chelsea in the Premiership table counted against Martin Jol on this occasion. Unveiling Newcastle's first major purchase of the summer, a buoyant Shepherd confirmed Duff had cost £5m and said: "We owe them [Chelsea] a big favour." Reflecting on a particularly thrifty piece of business, the chairman said: "Thanks very much, Chelsea." Duff echoed Shepherd's gratitude while explaining the sequence of events which brought about his cut-price transfer. "About three weeks ago I picked up the phone to [the Chelsea chief executive] Peter Kenyon and asked him to keep me informed if any clubs made an approach for me," Duff said. "He agreed to do that and here I am. I took a couple of days thinking about it and I spoke to some of the lads here and I just listened to my heart. It told me to come to Newcastle. There might be some Liverpool supporters in Ireland saying I should have signed for them, but I just listened to my heart. "The Newcastle fans are special and gave me a great welcome when I arrived. It'll be better to play in the black and white than being an away player at St James' Park. The potential is massive. It's a special place to play and a massive club and I don't think people realise that at times." Duff accepts his new club are some way off challenging Chelsea for the Premiership title this season but fully expects Newcastle to be back among the Champions' League élite within the next five years ­ the period of time he is contracted to United. "If it wasn't for me piping up then I would have been in pre-season with Chelsea and facing up to another season of success but another season of limited first-team opportunities," he said. "First and foremost I want to play football and during my first two-and-a-half years I did that. "In the last few months I haven't played enough football but I took it on the chin. Jose Mourinho [the Chelsea manager] understood my situation and so he agreed to let me leave. But I don't have anything to prove to anyone down there. I loved my time at Chelsea and I was in bits when I said my goodbyes on Friday. It was very emotional." On their way to securing back-to-back Premiership titles Chelsea have shown many fine qualities but benevolence is not one of them. With Roman Abramovich's billions made available to bankroll Mourinho's extravagant spending, it has often been said that the Stamford Bridge club is squeezing the life out of English football. Ruthlessness ­ rather than generosity ­ has been the name of the Blues' game. Whatever the reasons behind Duff's relatively cheap transfer, Shepherd has managed to pull off a masterstroke in attracting to St James' a 27-year-old winger with proven Premiership pedigree for a fraction of his value 12 months ago. Glenn Roeder, the Newcastle manager, hopes to make a habit out of such inspired signings this summer after publicly stating his desire not to buy overpriced foreign players. "Damien has left behind three world-class wingers at Chelsea and that competition was one of the reasons he has decided to move on," Roeder said. "But make no mistake about it, he is every bit as good as all of the other three." Expect Shepherd to return to Stamford Bridge in the near future to enquire about the availability of Shaun Wright-Phillips and Robert Huth. When asked whether he believed Kenyon and Mourinho's generosity might extend to a further signing this summer, the United chairman smiled: "You never know." Big favour my arse.
  14. Wise, butter will burn the whites. Have you however considered a 50/50 mix of oil and butter? The oil lowers the burning temperature and you still get that lovely buttery taste with your eggs.
  15. I quite like that analogy.
  16. I once spent months on an internet football fans site needlessly and ineffectively taking the piss out of almost anyone and hopefully everyone for my own amusement. I realise this is not strictly a practical joke, however I thought it might provide both the opportunity to get some attention and also plant a seed for future hilarity at my behest.
  17. this is either gold or should be deleted. probably should be locked either way, Orwell not been mentioned for yonks.
  18. I'm sure if Allardyce gets the Blackburn job he'll be circling like an obsese vulture ready to snap him up. Loads of clubs will, if the price is right.
