Canning Town is a shit hole.

erm not sure what you mean. I dont have any photos of me at the age of 5 with a michael jackson haircut on this particular laptop. My mum would have a few. That would require a 800 mile trip to Whitley and the purchase of a scanner though.
why would i create crap stories about myself? the truth is funnier.

I have afro hair for your information. Just not a lot of it anymore.
Permed tbh.
Nah when i first went to primary school it was bad. I was in the bogs and the next thing i knew i had been picked up and had me head flushed down the loo.
There was bit of furore about it until the Caretaker said sorry and that he thought i was a loo brush.

Possibly. Nae idea tbh but could well be.
I saw it Le Morsures on french TV a while ago, so googled french vampire film and found it that way.
Love french tv sometimes. The other night there was this weird film about a couple who kept bursting into tears every time they had sex. My french is quite basic so i just watch these things and make up my own story (till i've knocked one out or fall asleep)

This lad (clearly a student given the amount of time he's devoted to this one post) has gone to the trouble of putting together a humongous post on Martins on the Inter forums, complete with goals, descriptions and a load of stats. Here if anyone wants a look at what we have in store:
Is Handoyo your Italian alter ego?

I fail to see how he can tailor the CV too much without even knowing who the employer is tbh. Obviously you would attempt to tailor it as close as possible to the job title, but without much in the way of a job description you're gonna be struggling - at the risk of leaving something out that they might be looking for, I'd be putting as much in as possible without making it overly long.
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.

Btw, I spotted what looks like the ideal job in London involving interesting work and lots of foreign travel. It says send in a CV. Trouble is, its very vague and there's no contact details. It doesn't say what the salary is or even who the employer is other than its a pharmaceutical company. How do I tailor my CV?
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.
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.

2*double matresses, decent quality, condition okay, not shabby. Nay pissy stains.
one double pine wardrobe. nowt wrong with it.
You should consider work in sales. Or designing labels to stick on things in furniture shops. I'm picturing a beautiful oak wardrobe with a luminous orange card cut into a star shape with "NOWT WRONG WITH IT" written on in marker.
Rating the mattress and the sofas as 2* doesnt help either.

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?
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.
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?
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.

Depends on the price? What were Borough going to pay?
Would be happy with £3m for Huth.

Aye it looks shite at the minute but it could be Milner, Butt, Pattison, Duff, Martins, Gravesen, Bridge and Clint Eastwood by the end of the month which would still leave us a bit light but isnt a bad squad to have a pop at 4th with...

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.
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
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.
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.
I've just spaffed in my own kegs.
