Haven't heard the Ibrox disaster song in a decade, minimum. Haven't heard the Durrant song (which, frankly, doesn't compare) in six or seven years. If you are arguing that Aberdeen fans are on a par with Rangers' when it comes to singing scummy songs then you are showing yourself up to be ignorant. Simply, it is not true on any level. I go to Pittodrie for most home games and attend occasional away ones. This far outnumbers the amount of times that I have seen Rangers in the flesh or on TV. And yet, I could count on the fingers of one hand how often I have heard a rousing rendition of the Ibrox Disaster song or anything similarly tasteless. When it comes to Rangers, it would be more appropriate to try and count the occasions when I haven't heard something offensive/tasteless/apparently banned by the SFA. These songs can be heard at every single one of their televised matches. Every single one. While I'm ranting, I wish to shift some of the focus to 'newspapers' such as The Sun and The Daily Record. These worthless publications perpetuate the myth that Aberdeen fans are knuckle-dragging neanderthals who beat the fuck out of all opposing fans (maybe 20+years ago, not the case today) and that we still sing these tasteless ditties. We don't, and have not done so for a decade plus. They invent occasions of shocking behaviour on the part of Dons fans that are completely impossible to disprove. I imagine the conversation with their editor goes something like this: Iain Orr/Scott Davie: Fans were heard singing about Ian Durrant and about the Ibrox disaster Editor: Really? Well none of the other reports have made mention of it. Are you sure? Iain Orr/Scott Davie: Yes, I heard it myself. Editor: Good enough for me. Write it up! Football fans of other teams such as Alkaline will then read about such behaviour and think 'O look, Dons fans being cunts yet again! The Daily Record/The Sun/the West-coast media is doing sterling work, showing these Dons fans up as the scumbags that they are!'. The truth doesn't matter when a good dig can be had. Anybody who scratches beneath the surface can see beyond a shadow of doubt that attempts are made right throughout the Scottish media to cover up/divert attention away from the behaviour of Rangers fans. They are a constant embarrassment to our country when they compete in Europe. The bosses at their club grumble interminably in the press about how they are too big for Scotland, how they should be playing in England, how the SFA/SPL 'owe them one' for failing to extend the season for them three seasons back (conveniently ignoring the fact that the league was indeed extended to accommodate them, just not by as long as they had wanted). Their fans and their bosses continually bring this country into disrepute with their behaviour in Europe (o sorry I forgot, those were Chelsea fans in Manchester. Of course.) and their constant undermining of the standard of Scottish football in the press. They moan about lack of competition and yet will not divvy up the TV revenue in a more balanced way to create healthier competition. Along with their ugly sisters from Celtic, the two clubs who celebrate that their roots are not in Scotland and spend their time telling the press that they want to leave Scotland are the two clubs who heap shame on this country with their unseemly behaviour. Celtic fans, at least, seem capable of not acting like total neanderthals as soon as they get a road trip. Not that they aren't fucking arseholes in countless other ways. In short, Glasgow Rangers FC, its fans and its bosses, bring nothing but shame onto our league and our country. The west-coast media not only are complicit in their refusal to report the instances of their loutish behaviour (I'm trying to put it as nicely as possible), they actually positively attempt to shift the focus by conjuring up imaginary occasions of Dons fans singing unseemly songs. I was at the last Aberdeen-Rangers match (the one in which the Ibrox disaster song was reportedly heard by the Daily Record's reporter). it wasn't sung. If it was, it could have been sung by no more than one solitary individual who was clearly drowned out. And yet, the Daily Record saw fit to report it, conveniently ignoring the 90 minutes of Follow Follow (not the sanitised version btw) and other such offensive songs coming from across the fence.

Hopefully all this time spent hanging around up trees in forum members' back gardens stands you a good chance of getting this job.

Anbody with half a brain can deduce that internet one-upmanship, point-scoring and general wind-uppery != the true sentiments of most fans. Go on any Youtube footage of Rangers/Celtic and you will see pages upon pages of bile and hatred. However, I would never use these as 'evidence' of their supporters' scumminess because they are almost always a bit of internet opposition-baiting. They can't be taken seriously, much like radio call-ins and 'Fans' News and Views' columns in papers. I refer to real-life evidence; the actual actions of paying fans of Rangers at football matches. These instances are where they are shown up for despicable behaviour. Scottish football will continue to go down the tubes while both halves of the Old Firm are allowed to operate with total impunity. If they moan about the lack of competition, they should be fined. If they moan about how they want to play in England, another fine. If they moan about referees having an agenda vs them (so monumentaly false and laughable) the fine should be in the seven figures. If they moan about how they deserve more TV money, fine them some more. In summary, they spend all day every day telling the world how shit Scottsih football is and how they hate being here. Simple solution; shut the fuck up or fuck the fuck off. Don't even start me on that little cunt Neil Lennon and his comments regarding referees. He should have been banned from the thouchline for the entire season and his club should have been fined seven figures. Referees are now so petrified of giving decisions against Celtic for fear of more death threats and vilification in the press that they have ruined the game for every other team in the SPL. I can't blame the refs; they are shit-scared now because they saw what happened to Dougie McDonald and his colleagues. The rest of the teams in the league are the ones who bear the brunt; Andy Considine's ludicrous red-card after 90 seconds a few weeks ago is an obvious reference point, but that is far from the only example. Simply; Celtic have every official in Scotland in their back pocket right now, because the SFA and the SPL are too spineless to truly punish them.

I resent being lumped into the same category as Rangers fans who are bigoted, sectarian arseholes that act like a bunch of cretins at home and abroad. I've known and met some of these types, and coming from a family that is predominantly Rangers supporting I'm probably related to some. I love watching Rangers play and happily wear my shirt, but that doesn't mean I'm going to start singing horrific songs about Tommy Burns or playing the sash on an invisible pipe. I don't condone the actions of people who do this, whether they are Rangers fans or not. I wholeheartedly condemn it in fact. So I really wish people would quit tarring all Rangers fans with the same fucking brush.

No worries, people are bound to say Arsenal played poorly as an excuse for the defeat but I think more credit must be given to Birmingham for taking the game to Arsenal. As I say I don't think Arsenal played that badly (of course we've seen them play better). I was impressed with the teamwork and determination Birmingham put in. Their fans were fantastic as well, really created a good atmosphere and the players rose to the occasion splendidly. I think they'll be ok in the premier league and they can look forward to a European adventure next season! It was lovely to see a decent cup final match as well not the usual snoozeathon as finals so often are these days.

I can totally see how helpful it is for a tutor, but for a student it can be incredibly frustrating. It's like anything with computers though, sometimes it'll work wonderfully, other times it'll operate like a proverbial fucktard. The folk that copy and paste their essays should be booted from the course, no questions. I go to uni to learn, not act like a stupid prick and those sort of people are another pet hate.

Is the first idea not on Haggard. :/ Or something pretty damn similar xxx

First instrument was a copy of a p-bass by Legend. Black with a white scratchplate and a 'maple' board back in 1998 which I bought for 40 off my mate Malky. The following year I saved up at the daffie picking and bought a daphne blue 1997 Japanese Fender Precision. I then upgraded the pickups in the Legend to Fender 1962's and gave it to a friend to paint it in red and yellow tiger stripes. It's still in the house and plays just fine. I then upgraded the Fender with EMG's and a badass II bridge and also a second string retainer on the head. That bad boy was my number 1 bass for a long time and sits about two feet from me just now. After that it was a translucent purple Stingray, then a sunset orange transparent US Precision, then a black-on-black-crime 1985 Jazz Special which already had the mods I'd have done - EMG's and a badass II bridge. At one stage earlier on I also had a Fodic jazz copy which had a lovely neck and I sprayed it sparkly blue and replaced the bridge p'up with a Kent Armstrong which sounded phenomenal but I sold that to a young guy who needed a bass to start out on and I also had a Warwick streamer which I lent and then sold to Alex from Weapon. It was lovely, but too small for me to play comfortably.

If you have all your music in one main directory you would just browse to it in media monkey and press CTRL+R to bring up the auto-organise menu... Click configure in the menu that pops up and then i think the settings you are looking for is this: This will remove the artist folder and move everything up a level. Be careful though as there is no "undo" function if it goes wrong... Here is some documentation from there site that may be useful: Media Monkey - Organizing Files and Folders Media Monkey - Configuring Directory and Filename Formats
