It's not that bizarre, I'm exactly the same, I have to have a lot of bookmarks ranging from proper ones to taxi receipts. A wander over to the bookcase often results in me starting a new book. Actually, I may have just proved your point... 195398[/snapback] Exactly, are you suggesting it's not bizarre behaviour because you do it? Would you watch two films at once, say watch the first 20 minutes of one and switch to another, then back again? No, I don't think so. 195402[/snapback] I never said i was normal tbh. You could be watching more than 5 TV series at once and at different times of the week so the film thing isnt a goood comparison.

Quality. 195386[/snapback] Got it...

I think they should just shut everything down apart from the admin forum.

Sounds to me like you can't actually read. I bet you hold the book upside down sometimes when you're doing the above. 195368[/snapback] did once get on a train and was staring at this bird and sort of on auto-pilot, got my book out, opened it, kept staring at the bird she looked up, i looked down and the book was upside down. didnt get her number tbh..

In the words of the late Ted Rogers, 3,2,1.

I'm reading 5 books at the moment and have been for quite a few months. I dont bookmark or do anything as once i've put it down i like to re-read the last few pages to get back into it. I try to finish on chapter ends but usually just try and remember roughly where i was. I therefore sometimes actually go backwards as i pick up the book only re-read one page then put the book down open and forget. When i pick it up again, i always go back a few pages to get into it again.....

We could have allowed Woodgate to Boro to happen to increase our chances of getting Huth. Woody is a crock. We know it. He has also got a gak problem. Huth had a bad ankle which has been fixed and is a young un. Seems the better option to me. If we end up with Huth and they have Woody i think thats good business. 186930[/snapback] Did you miss the part where I mentioned that they're both going to Boro? 186932[/snapback] Nah.

Thats why i asked him for the job title as i would be able to narrow down what they are looking for It doesnt make much difference if it is big cap, mid cap or biotech, the role in one co is the same as that in another.

Don't worry about tailoring it if the advert is that vague. Just fill your CV with any and everything you think will be relevant and send it in. I do all of my job applications through a recruiter (Nigel Wright in the town), and as far as I'm aware they send the same CV out to everyone on my behalf. 183646[/snapback] Disagree in this instance. Moving from public to private sector you will need to demonstrate an aptitude for commercial thinking, strong technical skills and the ability to influence people's behaviours. CV for public sector role in my book would look a little different. When looking at a pharma co you should analyse the state of the pipeline of products as an indicator of future opportunities within the business.

Gemmill will provide the best advice about not mentioning being a rent boy presumably. I can provide some help but would need to know job title.

What do you do currently Renton, if you dont mind me asking? 183580[/snapback] I write medical guidance, primarily for GPs. Any job that involves appraisal of clinical trial evidence and medical writing is of interest to me, but the opportunities here are scarce. 183609[/snapback] You could do medical writing remotely for one of the big agencies as a first suggestion. Do you have a background in pharmacolgy? Are you a pharmaceutical adviser or does it extend to other stuff too? Have you heard of HealthGain Solutions? http://www.healthgain.co.uk/ Its just one example of the type of company you could work for where you wouldnt be working directly for pharma but getting a decent salary. They have regional jobs too http://www.healthgain.co.uk/recruitment_current.htm There are other cos out there that do similar. Essentially the roles are disease based but pharma companies try loads of stuff to change patient and physician behaviours and dynamics that indirectly lead to profit. BTW i have fuck all to do with this lot just a mate used to work there.

Mr sammymb. Sir. The observation about the tom tom club is so bang on too. Never even thought about that. Frantz and Weymouths sound at that time was better than anything on the club scene in NY and Speaking in Tongues is of course the album that the stop making sense album is based on. It does have to be seen rather than listened to. I shat myself when i got the DVD and put it through my modern system.

Not what David Byrne would say about that album. Stop Making sense is the definitive live album and is also the definitive live concert video. 182581[/snapback] Are you claiming that is the defintive live album or the defintive live album by the Talking Heads. If its the latter fair enough but the former would be a bit of a stretch 182590[/snapback] Definitive live concert video. Its the whole package from the meticulous build up of imagery with every set shot in Demme's film carefully sketched out before hand and his desire to give the sound production a new edge. You could argue that musically The name of the band is better but that would be like trying to force a rizla paper into my crack hole using tension alone. They are both great. By the way if anyone has a vinyl copy of More song about buildings would be interested. 182638[/snapback] The thing about Stop Making Sense is it is a drama as much as live concert. Demme shot it as he would one of his features, starting slowly and building to a climax in the plot - finishing with a resolutuion. It's not like a standard live program. If you just look at the direction of cinematography, the cameras move, changing shot constantly, where as if you look at a general live concert production or even a live tv music production the cameras are generally static and the movement is in the changing of cameras and thus angle. Then you have the building of the band, the plot and its' cronological progression of music and characters! As for which is better Django Reinhardt is correct The Name of the band is a far better account of talking heads live but it also misses out on the whole Speaking in tongues transition of the band. Stop making Sense is a film relying on its' mise-en-scene and plot progression which is lost in the music only release vinyl/cd/tape, if you have seen the film then you can get the album otherwise it is just another live release. As for the original question, the answer could be any of their albums prior to Little creatures which was the beginning of the end for the band, although the often overlooked Naked was a bit of a return to form. People talk about the effect Brian Eno had on U2 but his work with Talking Heads was what marked his career as a producer and Byrne often referred to him as the 5th band member between More songs... and Remaining in the Light to the chagrin of the other four members. It's interesting because if you look at the period after Remining in the light when the band all but broke up, all four members produced amazing but completely different solo projects, Byrne with Eno My life in the bush of ghosts, Byrne by himself The soundtrack to the Catherine Wheel and later the tuba solo inspired Songs for the Knee plays, even his vocals/lyrics for Robert Fripps God Save the Queen/Under Heavy Manners all showed the diversity of Byrne. But it was the work of Weymouth and Fantz with the Tom Tom clubs' first two albums, Tom tom club and Close to the bone that changed the sound of talking heads for their next release Speaking in tongues with the now established sound influenced by Weymouth and Frantz's propensity for hip hop/dance rhythms. Chezgiven, I've got a mint original pressing of More songs... but sorry it stays in the collection next to the artist Robert Rauschenberg created plastic envelope package with clear discs that could spin around for Speaking in tongues and a host of picture discs and limited addition 12' remixes they released. 183313[/snapback] I've just spaffed in my own kegs.

Less of the Shitley Bay please. Am funking out at the Good Times bus, Southern row, Carnivallllll...

Couldnt stretch to a rabbit hutch but would happily part with the small kennel my dead dog used to live in.

It also features but by a different name on Colin Dale's Outer Limits, mebbies the best techno studio mix in world ever. 182692[/snapback] Just looked it up..... Boo Williams - always class and Cybotron's Clear - Detroit classic. I couldnt possibly complain about this thread btw. 182712[/snapback] Well, it was dedicated to you from the start. 182727[/snapback] awww...

It wasn't built in a day and all roads lead there. Apparently. 182706[/snapback] When you're there its important to remember to do as the Romans do is what I heard. 182722[/snapback] What have they ever done for us like?

I was listening to My Favourite Dress the other day - funny. You remember Cud?

Alex = impeccable taste. Paperclip People - Throw. Legendary Carl Craig track. I think you would be right on the inspiration too. 182669[/snapback] So my Undertones reference is ignored and Alex gets all the plaudits. gah 182676[/snapback] Sorry i missed that Bob. I'm a bit generally speaking.

Alex = impeccable taste. Paperclip People - Throw. Legendary Carl Craig track. I think you would be right on the inspiration too. 182669[/snapback] The Paperclip People collection 'The Secret Tapes of Dr. Eich' on Sound of Ministry was/is quality. Not sure if you can still get it but I was listening to it the other day. 182673[/snapback] 'Throw' is b/w a track called 'Eich me san schie' funnily enough. He did some great stuff with Bugz in the Attic in 97/98 and i have a vinyl only remix album from 2 years ago with 8 tracks that cost me a fucking fortune.
