Not everyone, Ford are popular here and tesla are getting big, but yeah in general the big 4 are crazy popular but also there are a hell of a lot of porsches, the crazy thing is where people park, basically there is no parking, it's all apartments and everyone just leaves there car on the path outside as a free for all, its like what you'd see outside terraced housing in the UK, opposite my flat now is a 80.000€ etron, on the street up the kerb without a care in the world, down the bottom of my road there's a 120.000€ porsche, there's an RS6 somewhere too, you can probably tell from that it's not a rough area but it still seems mad to me parking your fancy car around the corner wherever you can find a space, loads of cars with dings in them My wife has a VW golf, I usually walk to work but the one day I had to go in to collect all my screens and shit so I can work from home for 2 months I got caught speeding

Whoever said they were off to buy the new squid album My ears hate you

It ain't Simon **** Dawkins

Beyond the Manc thing I don't really see it either, he's got the same thing as kasabians Tom where he's trying to be a front man with a bit about him (but he's not as bad as Tom, and by bad I mean coked up confident) and you can say that both of them in that regard are influenced by Liam But musically they're not

Did his job, we stayed up last season, it's a shame he got injured, Reina came in and did his job too, both were short term fixes, glad we had him and I'm now glad we have emi Crazy if utd sign him though, they produce and don't use so many keepers (Inc Heaton himself obviously) maybe cash in on Henderson

not nineteen forever is a great song for somewhere like snobs tbf

You've been in the things you don't get thread... You get a like for bee gees but you're not having one for the courteeners, great first album but shit after that

"we have to cut our cloth accordingly" Signs Ross Barkley

They're a good band, probably my favourite "new" band, they're a throw back (because oz is 25 years behind us...) lead singer has a great voice, the mtv unplugged album is brilliant, been around for about 5 years now and have a good following but never made a big breakthrough, not a clue if they get radio support or not, they'll sell out O2 academies easily and get good support slots when courteeners or Liam plays to 60k people*, there's nothing exciting or different or anything edgy about them so I think they get lost in the crowd which is a shame * courteeners playing to 60k crowds is one of life's greatest mysteries

Same with a lot of the older bands I'm not getting involved with the vinyl, would like them in the collection but I kind of know I'll never get the full set and even if I tried I'd end up on ebay or back to black or for completion reasons I'll end up chasing one of the inevitable really shit albums Lesson learned from fleetwood mac, bowie and Elton John

Been caught doing 62kmph in a 50 zone Got a £12 fine...

Bee gees for me currently, watched the hbo documentary and loved it, going through their early stuff, flirting with the disco stuff and one or two songs from the 80s

€15m upfront shared between them, 5% of their revenue from this year's competition and then the €100m threat of don't do it again Talk of the other 3 getting a 2 year ban

I liked the libs but not as much as my mates Said earlier they were like a punk band in comparison to the end of brit pop, oasis and phonics had gone to shit, manics weren't in the same league, it was heading towards bloated 5 minute long songs leaning towards the middle of the road, I was 18 and libs came out and it was a breath of fresh air, the tempo went up, in came the years of indie disco and they were incredible, I can understand why the libs were considered revolutionary with what they were doing, the Internet stuff and gorilla gigs was nuts, saw Pete play a pub with about 200 people, off his tits came on stage at 1am Bloc party was the one for me though, Silent Alarm blew me away I was the perfect age for it, 90s got me in to guitar music 00s was nightclubs playing up tempo guitar music

I think it's because there's been no one like that since, Liam is still hugely popular with the lads lads lads crowd and the rest of that scene - courteeners, gerry cinnamon, pretty much anyone apart from the DMAs who are great - is utter garbage If you're a 21 year old kid now in to your music football raincoats beer and like a sniff you can almost guarantee that they'll be a massive oasis fan, they've never been surpassed, they were the band of my generation but the following generation has no one so they've stuck around

I'm sure that was the Friday night Was a great weekend, went up saturday morning and I'm pretty sure we stayed in a room above the black and white pub in the centre of the city, the we didn't have oasis tickets so got some off a tout, subways and I'm sure doves supported, went back in to Manchester for a night out, saw 4 girls having squatting at the top of some steps to maybe the town hall or something like that... They were having a piss race down the steps, 5th avenue... Next day drove over to Bolton, had a session in the pub on the roundabout that you use for the football, watched Coldplay in the rain supported by elbow

I think spurs have a get a name, they're already seen as pretenders and a joke that they've been stuck in this big 6 nonsense Can you imagine if they got dyche or Potter now? They'd be laughed out of town They'll get a manager who has been higher than they have, regardless of his age or current ability, they'll want "league winner" on his CV

I didn't mind their first album either, that had a slightly different sound but then after that they went biege

Change the example then What I mean is that they obsess over their own club but then show very little general knowledge or interest in football Hence there is usually little point trying to talk to them about football, they'll join in a conversation between wolves and villa fans taking the piss out of West Brom but their knowledge of all 3 clubs will be terrible, you mention something about utd and its like they've eaten the utd almanac

Have you seen the 7 ages of rock series on BBC? I didn't realise it at the time but on reflection fully get it just how bad music got at the end of the 90s They go on to describe it as a punk 2nd wave with the strokes and the libs, from memory I ended the 90s with RHCPs as my favourite band

I liked inside by stiltskin when I was a boy and it was on Now 93 or something like that, been wracking my brain for years as to what they were called

Yeah exactly that, gravity went to number 1 I think and was written by Martin and embrace had a bit of a comeback, their album with good good people and come back to what you know was the one though, good album

I'm in the video for fix you, was a gig at the Bolton stadium on a Sunday night, elbow supporting The Saturday night was oasis in the city of manachester stadium It was that much of a come down from the energy and crowd of the night before that I never saw them again, right miserable 6ft 10" **** with an umbrella stood right in front of me but because no one was moving or jumping or anything I couldn't find a way to get round him

tipped to join newcastle again this morning his attitude in that environment would be perfect

Saw them live a few times for the first and 2nd album, they were good tbf to them and Chris Martin was a good frontman, loads of interaction with the crowd without ever feeling like he was about to split them in to left and right and seeing who could cheer loudest... They're kind of cheesy without taking the piss and going full pop band Rush of blood to the head is a cracking album Gone right shit now though, gave up on them after the 5th album, they seem to have found a sound which makes them huge globally and that sound is shit
