Was going to ask if it was ambient...

Two year ban and a big fine for me. I've known a couple of people get banned for drink driving in recent years. One mate had the back end of his Audi Coupe spin out on the Asda island in Tamworth after a couple of pints of wifebeater in The Boot on a Friday afternoon. His car rolled down the bank backwards and he couldn't get out the ditch. He wasn't drunk, but the cops got to him before the recovery truck got there and he eventually got banned for two years. He was only just over the limit. The cops wouldn't allow the breakdown truck to retrieve the car (there was no damage, it was just stuck) and took it away themselves. They then tried to charge him for recovery and storage, which resulted in him eventually handing the car's V5 over to them. Another mate, sadly recently deceased, had been out on his bike on a Saturday morning about three or four years ago. He got back, parked his bike on the bricks at the front of his house and went into the house to get changed into t-shirt, shorts and flip flops before taking his dog for a walk. He had a few pints while he was out. When he got back home, he wanted to wheel the bike round to his shed at the back of the house. He had his front door open, his dig jumping up and down and running around him and he put the keys in the ignition, simply to release the steering lock. He never started the bike. Two cops jumped on him, charging him with drink driving, despite the fact he was never going to get on the bike and it was not on a public highway. The also charged him with operating a motorcycle without a helmet. He got a two year ban, and as a result lost £10,000 in bonus payments from his work as he could not drive the company van, picking up his colleagues each day. I don't drink and drive. The police are absolute bastards for punishing it though.

Good find. Only works from that angle though... 64.101096, -21.883596

I've been thinking this for a while as well. For a man who is a self made billionaire, he should have an amount of business nous. Something is afoot, and I like it.

I'm not a techno fan, but does something for me...

Limewax's Raptor is a bit of a banger as well. 2007...

Donny is as English as they come, hailing from Sevenoaks, Kent. (sic) is one of my favourite tracks of recent years. Sounds a lot like Limewax, from Ukraine (I think - well, that's what Dylan told me). The drop after the second break (5:10) is **** nuts. Turn up your sub and get a couple of big knives out. You will need these to scare the neighbours when they come banging on your door in 5, 4, 3, 2...

Chelsea - won. Liverpool - won. Citeh - drew. We can compete now. I'm **** loving this here!

Anyone seen 'Stuck'? I watched it the other day - not a bad film, but a long way away from commercial...

From the Grauniad, 02/05/07 That's some damn good ranting right there. Sums it up nicely. And, for the record, Jay-Z has never done anything significantly memorable in his career, despite the size of his reputation. For **** sake, his first commercial success was "Hard Knock Life", with samples of Aileen Quinn from the musical "Annie". And further, it's not R&B. R&B, as stated, is rhythm and blues. This is just nothing more than chart pop gash.

Although I want to play Majik Most's 'Hearin Voices' - the best hip hop track ever...

Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy - and I'm playing it to a pub full.

I watched that the other night. You're right, it was absolute gash. Typical Curtis bullshit.

Best ambient I've ever heard is Global Communication - 76'14".

It's on 'In The Mode', The second Reprazent album. Amazon are selling it for £2.98 - bargain! I reckon one of Roni Size's best tracks was Snapshot 3. Got to love that rolling old school beat...

Even better than Limewax's "Scars On The Horizon"?

New Forms had Brown Paper Bag and Heroes, but Leftism had Space Shanty, Storm 3000, Original, Melt and Song Of Life. To it's disadvantage, Roni Size remastered New Forms last year and ruined Heroes, the track with the best beats on the album. Leftism for me. Had you included Breakbeat Era though...

Didn't the world's biggest crap turn out to be Bono?! South Park is an excellent programme which has improved massively over the years. Watching the early ones now is a bit tiresome, but the new format episodes are just fantastic. Favourites being Cripple Fight, The Michael Jackson episode where the police are trying to stitch him up, the Queef episode, the list goes on...

I thought that was Enckleman? Enkelman let Mellberg's throw in past him at The Sty when the Blues beat us in 2002. Im sure you have seen it a thousand times. Enkelman also spilled the ball at the feet of Geoff Horsefield when the Blues beat us at Villa Park in 2003. Sorensen dropped one into his own net when the Blues beat us at Villa Park in 2004 Sorensen chucked one into his own net when the Blues beat us at The Sty in 2005 All four of our defeats to the Blues in the Premier League have been because we have virtually scored goals for them. Seriously, what the **** was wrong with those two keepers? Right you are, Sir. I stand corrected.

I didn't really rate James when he was with us. Yes, he was a good shot stopper, but his confidence was so low after Liverpool that he **** up once every game. His mind must have been wandering and he lost his concentration. It was a case of waiting for him to miss or drop a shot and hoping we had the players to make up for his inadequacies. His lapse of concentration was best demonstrated by Di Matteo in the FA Cup final in 2000. James became a good keeper a few years after he left us, further proving that goalkeepers do not need to shine in their early 20's. His career peak never really arrived until he signed for Portsmouth. I do like James, but I think some people are rating how he has played over the last three years rather than how he played for us almost 10 years ago.

I thought that was Enckleman?

Dang, I've never seen this thread before! Slightly off topic, but this is an arrangement of service hatches on the Square in Barnstaple.

Been three times, would live there given half a chance. Absolutely the best place I have been in my life. No questions...

How about Carew for the first 65 mins then Gabby for the final 25 mins of a game, to provide fresh legs/ideas? Or the other way round, depending on the opposition? 'One or the other' and you end up with a knackered player in March.

Mon and Capello clearly do. I rate Heskey, he is a good player. He was at Leicester, Liverpool, The Noses and he was at Wigan. He is a good hold up player. he can change games. I was over the moon when we signed him for £3.5m, when Palacios went to the Potatoes for £14m. Unfortunately his style does not suit our style of play and he has not cut it here. We would be better using him as a sub or a solo target man, but he does not work in a 4-4-2 with two wingers. In fact, as long as we play two out-and-out wingers, I doubt 4-4-2 will ever work. It's a midfield battle at the top of the league, and by playing three in the middle we broke down the team seeded #1 in yesterday's champions league draw in their own back yard. Switch back to 4-4-2 and we are gash again. 4-5-1 worked a treat the other night, then when the players were full of confidence, 4-4-2 shat all over it. I'd keep him as a squad player, but only to boost the numbers. He is 3/4th choice for me, but could be used for the last 15/20 mins to change a stale game if we were playing 4-5-1. Heskey in a 4-4-2 - not good enough.
