  1. Watched the Ozric Tentacles last night at Islington academy. Mind bending visuals, time signatures, psyche wig out. 10/10 would do again
  2. Are they still putting idiots in the idiot box for the idiots to idiotically gawp at then?
  3. Davenports had the IP rights bought by Highgate Brewers of Walsall and continue to make the original Davenports beer now. It's really quite good too. As mentioned earlier, Mita were bought out by that Korean tech firm, who sponsored Everton recently. I really would like Cadbury, I think a lot of us have been hoping since the dawn of time for them seeing as it's such a brum institution...now would be a logical time more than before though due to the Kraft expansion. On a side note, it's a shame that Kraft managed to cock up the only chocolate bar I would ever buy (CDM). I've never had a sweet tooth, but the smaller size, slightly sweeter taste and stupid new block shape is just rubbish.
  4. That clay oven thing sounds like a good shout
  5. I'm thinking green Man is where it's at...anyone thinking the same?
  6. Me. I'm not watching this game at a pub where I live, I.e. North London without fellow fans. Oaks, east end villain, speizals, ddid...anyone else....? Count me in. Why not head 30mins further west for the party? I'll head wherever London VT ers go! Surely they will be going to Wembley???? Why would you not want to watch near the ground? Because there aren't that many places around the ground really, not that I know of anyway... I meant London VTers not going to the game of course!
  7. There is no way I would vote to leave Europe.

  9. I guess I don't make up the demographic, but I'm certainly not in anyway embarrassed. It probably has more to do with Birmingham being labour, and this site being a villa site. Besides we Tories are more dignified than to take to the streets fighting with police, and desecrating war memorials over who we vote for It's certainly true in London. I did vote Tory (that's not an invitation for a political debate with me, my reasons are my own. I'm not going to it, I'm just using that fact as an example) but the office was adamant that anyone that voted Tory are self serving, money obsessed baby killers. That maybe true of the actual members and cabinet, but not the voters. If you think that the actual members and cabinet in the Tory party are self serving, money obsessed baby killers then why did you vote for them? Doesn't make sense to me. I did say it was a statement of fact and that I didn't want to discuss it...

  11. I think it's a national trait for political matters that if you vote Tory, you keep quiet about it or you're slightly embarrassed if you do. In my experience so far, it's Labour voters that are constantly heard as the loudest, which is expected. One is establishment, one is alternative (or three days, supposedly alternative but not quite as alternative as it used to be). Even the panorama before the election, a guy that was going to vote Tory struggled to muster the courage to admit it

  13. This is ridiculous. Less of these unexpected winning streaks please, all you cack teams.
  14. Reports of intimidation in Scotland coming from SNP fanatics. Don't know why they'd bother, they've got it in the bag. On a side note, I voted Tory. I'm going to give myself a good wash when I get home
  15. It's going to be the Scots who are the kingmakers, and I don't really care. I'll just grab the popcorn and watch the show
  16. First election not voting Lib Dem. Sad times for me. I think the only victory would be an outcome matching Nate Silver's prediction that UKIP will not win ONE seat. Here's hoping.
  17. If you want info, you're going to have to kidnap delphino123 and water board him till he talks...
  18. I really shouldn't have commented should I, I'm making it worse. I was at a Britpop night totally smashed last night and something for the weekend came on. I legimately dance-cried.
  19. have a like, see if it cheers you up Thank you. Doesn't make them go away though. I tried to listen to Hello Sunshine about a month ago it was just, nope nope nope. Gruff's voice is tainted with the past!
  20. God there so needs to be less SFA in here. They're bloody everywhere at the moment.
  21. I had a listen to it the other day, don't think I'll buy it on vinyl but it's a really interesting sound
  22. Blues Pills were amazing live. I fell in love with the lead singer Elin, she's so nice as well! Got a pic with her! I watched Dub Pistols last night and they absolutely destroyed me. I'm used to posey crap London crowds, so it was really refreshing to see the crowd at this go absolutely nuts. Best gig for ages
  23. The takeover could have happened and Tom Fox wouldn't know about it - he barley knows what day it is ! Classic smetrov.
  24. Robin Thicke - Blurred Lines Fatman Scoop - Be Faithful Usher - Yeah! Meat Loaf - Bat out of Hell Guns n Roses - November Rain
  25. From a business sense it was awful, too. Lerner and Faulkner kept on trying that "softly softly, we do business THE CORRECT and proper way" approach. What it got us was Leeds United saying "Oooh, thanks, you're gentlemen". And that's it. What it brought elsewhere was Dave Whelan, Manchester City, a couple of players and many press articles ridiculing us as a soft touch. If you're not cutthroat, you're going to drop in reputation and notoriety. These days, sadly, your international recognition is seemingly the most important thing in this league. I believe Fox has probably more from a "dog-eat-dog" world rather than Lerner's gentleman one.
