  1. 'The Boulevardier' - Frederic Curzon, played at a ripping pace by Barry Wordsworth & the RPO into 'Turns To Dust' - Andromeda.
  2. George Enescu - Romanian Rhapsody no 1 Starts twee, then it spins out... Incidentally I just typed 'twee' into wiki - ha ha - have a look where it takes you.
  3. Didn't I read that a couple of lads had left on loan - Port Vale have a couple, do they not? I'd find out meself but I'm on a really painful dial-up connection until I move house.
  4. Angel Pavement - When Will I See June Again?
  5. To different degrees, to body and/or mind. Same as the other drugs - legal or otherwise. Everyone's different. Most of my (ex) pill head mates are getting by, paying mortgages, running businesses, dropping sprogs, etc etc... Still waiting for the sting in the ecstasy tail. Possible early onset of alzeimers reckons my medical other half. We'll see.
  6. Aliens, dark matter, string theory, gravity, entropy, bubble theory, the universe, the multiverse, light even... We're so guessing. The world was flat a few hundred years ago. Man's understanding is growing, aided by evolving computers. The progeny of our constructs may get it well before we do - if we are able to get it at all. Then again I might be spouting bollocks. Best policy - keep an open mind. :winkold: Edit - punctuation
  7. Quite, he seems a decent enough bloke - No probs with him as an assistant to a foreign manager. I'm holding the tosser UK press to blame, and to a slightly lesser degree the F.A. for caving in. My own opinion of course.
  8. Yes, now. He should never have got the job in the first place. The F.A. were just running scared from the arsehole press who were demanding an English manager. His record at Boro hardly merited him the job, despite wads of Gibson's dosh he did nothing, with the exception of reaching the UEFA cup final where his shortcomings were plain to see. We might have got Scolari - but the arsehole press hoard pissed on that party. Obviously it would nice to have a homegrown manager, but.... F*ck the press, best man for the job please.
  9. Ray Cameron, Alan Parker and Alan Hawkshaw - Coast To Coast
  10. Something harking to an earlier conversation Si... Off topic I know - couldn't find the defunct food thread.
  11. Our media are a bunch of c*nts. Led by the Uber clearings in the woods from the gutter press - they can bear much of the blame for our current predicament. They pursued Sven out the job, then put the frighteners up Scolari before he put pen to paper, then demanded an English manager, despite the gulf in class between our squad and the available candidates. Possibly the FA chose McC as the lesser of two evils - as they could foresee the media feeding frenzy around another foreign appointment. Put Martin Samuel in charge, and when he cocks it up, let's flay the skin from his back.
  12. Falling coconuts kill more people than sharks do.
  13. There lies the problem. The 00's have been really quite cool for music. Information technology has enabled us all to listen to the music that we choose. Crap radio station playlists no longer bother me. Getting hold of decent sounds, from any decade or century, is much easier and cheaper.
  14. The 70's were a bizarre decade. Many of my most treasured albums come from the late 60's and early 70's. Around 73 things started to go badly wrong. The mid to late 70's were bad for Jazz, Rock, Psych and the Avant Garde. I see Punk like a triple heart bypass - a sad but necessary measure at the time.

    Melody or lyrics?

    F*ck lyrics. it's about the tune (or lack of).
  16. If I swerve to avoid a child running into the road, hit your car and kill you, I have to live with your death. Wear a seat belt, for everyone's sake. It's just one of those laws that isn't daft. Knock the big pink ones on the head mate. :winkold:
