  1.  

    Has the user-ship gone to 0 on this site over the last few weeks?

     

    Off topic feels dead.  It's the same 5/6 threads with the same 10 people saying the same things over and over and over again.

     

    Or it might just be me, I dunno.

     

    Close season, ennit? We're all off on holiday, while out agents look for new club message boards for us to post on. I've got a couple of Champions League message boards looking at me, apparently.

     

     

    I'm 1972MILF on mumsnet, if any of you ever get over there, look me up.

  2. Oh yeah, very much Feelgood territory.

     

    Having seen them both live, that would be a tricky call. Actually, two bands that are both better live than recorded so they really were quite similar.

     

    The difference, I guess, would have been that Nine Below / The Truth would have been more contemporary for me, same cut of suit and all that superfluous rubbish that at the time was of deathly importance.

     

    When I went to see the Feelgoods a couple of times, I had to go on my own. To see Nine Below, we'd go as a gang and have a different experience.

     

    If you've got the album, you've heard his speciality - train noises harmonica! He could get 10 minutes out of that build up in a gig!

  3. My mum used to take clean clothes from my room, to wash them again 'rather than wait'.

     

    My mum used to get an idea that I would be coming home, when I hadn't said I would be, cook a tea I didn't want and then start an argument about wasted time and wasted food.

     

    I got home one day and she'd given away my pet hamster, because she 'couldn't remember if I still wanted it'.

     

    Nut case. We got on much much better once I left and just visited every other weekend.

    Dragging mo Farah through the mud, good luck to you, leg end

    More worried about Alan Wells to be honest , if I find he was a drug taker a small piece of my childhood will die

     

     

    only if pie and mash is outlawed

  5. Weirdest one I had, got stopped whilst driving and asked if I'd been drinking. Whilst I had a car full of drunks I was able to say no, not a single drink.

    They said they doubted that, I said I was more than happy to be breathalysed and if it registered anything at all I'd be gobsmacked. They refused to brethalyse me, but insisted they felt I had been drinking and should leave the car and walk home.

    This went back and fore for quite some time, once I had people trying to get out the car to 'help' my argument I decided it was time to go. I told the nice police chaps I was going now. Turned, walked, they never said anything, I started the car, they never said anything. I drove off.

    Weird.

  6. as I say I have a feeling that a lot of it comes down to the area you are in, if the biggest worry that your area has is a stolen bike every now and again the the police will probably be alright, if you live in a shitty area and the police are dealing with scum all day long then they probably have a different attitude

     

    regardless of what any laws or guidance might say, this is reality

     

    I've lived worked and played in shitty areas, and now I'm lucky enough to live in a slightly nicer area.

     

    It is patently obvious that you are treated differently in these different places. There is a police logic they use, find you in a shitty area, you must be trouble. Find you in a nice area, you're probably an intelligent middle class employed person and good day to you sir.

     

    I can't be persuaded otherwise, I've encountered both sides time and time again. I used to live in an area where I was basically harassed by the police for living there. I now live somewhere that once a year the police knock the door to introduce themselves, give their mobile number in case I want to report or ask anything, and they investigate someone nicking the badge off my car. So I've gone from 'guilty' but they just haven't worked out what I did yet, to innocent and offered counselling by victim support for a stolen badge. The only difference was my postcode.

     

    Right or wrong, that's reality.

  7. No idea who the artists are, a mixed bag of bg orchestral and 'pop', which I guess is obvious given what they are covering.

     

    All appear to be giving about 90% efforst wmaking it nicely strangely layyed backnot even a date on it anthing on disscogs to help me.

     

    good for a quid though! BBQ background music yes

  8. Rhyl looks nice now!  :P

     

    hey @#~"£&+!<,/@#**^% your mother! 

     

    :)

     

    stating the obvs, that's the people's republic of Barrybados, that's the lunchtime walk from my house for coffee and pancakes

     

    there are worse places to live!

     

    It was Lee Selby's home coming today so a good excuse to get out and meet a few people and blow the cobwebs away with a walk around the headland to the beach.

  9. Nah he must have been a hardy little ****, I looked outside and couldn't see him anywhere so he must have flew off

     

    It's a pigeon, it's probably too thick to realise it's dead.

  10. yes they did

     

    I'm not the world's biggest manics fan, but I had a couple of mates there so I thought I should give it a try

     

    I think I just need the greatest hits CD, that should be about right for me

  11.  

    borderline noodling, but not quite so it's fine

     

     

    never have you down for these. have a couple of albums by these with their most famous being kick out the jams which was recorded at the famous detroit grande ballroom.

     

     

    Yeah don't like everything by them, but a good few are listenable. For some reason, they had a little following amongst the sort of punky / new wave chaps at my school.

     

     

    I'm gonna post up some Eric Burdon later, just to prove I can do post mod funky stuff too.
