i LOVE wikapedia

" As of May 21, 2006, there have been 80 episodes of Family Guy televised.

A direct to DVD movie Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story was released on September 27, 2005 (Region 1), October 24, 2005 (Region 2).

Season 4 was split into various segments to not waste new episodes when television audiences were low. Fox showed an initial run of ten episodes starting in May, then after a brief hiatus episodes restarted on September 11, 2005.

Season 5 will start on September 10, 2006 and contain 22 episodes. The season finale will be part one of two, with part two airing as the 6th season premiere.

The 100th episode (According to Fox) is the season 6 premiere, although its technically the 103rd episode (Fox doesn't count the 3 TV versions of the movie that aired as the season 4 finale"

season 5 by the looks of their website

they have episode guides to season 1-4

yet they took out the dvd calling it season 4 with us when it was only have complete!

im sorry but why???

grr thing crashed made me think id not posted

but yes!

i can sleep now. haha. its been bugging me for days

jimmy somerville :-) or the communards

i gave up and called my dad haha

i think its either you are the one or you are my world haha

i sang it to him and he knows which i mean but cant think of the person who sings it. some gay guy who sounds like annie lennox i think.... he's gone to find a cd

ok im trying to find the name of a song i heard in the pub the other night. was a song my dad used to always play

and i remember there being a thing online once that by clicking your mouse to the beat of the song it would guess it

can ANYONE tell me where to find this?

or im gona have to call up my dad and hum to him

which dude from holby city??

im gutted im in not in aberdeen for this and no one in ayr would go to glasgow with me for it

woah

even if you lok away then back at the dot it goes back to colour

a question in the pub quiz the other night was about how they are about to be 12 planets but how many are there now. and i asked if pluto was still there and no one knew what i was talking about

my verse wont work anymore for remembering the names "My Very Easy Method Just Speeds Up Naming...." no more planets

phhft i remember paying £1-£5 for a game back when i went.

was the only reason i went to a game, cause i was young but could afford it.

I saw DBA' date=' pretty damn good. I was actually thinking, "They're probably going to be huge." during their set.

they are supporting Panic! at the Disco at their sold out London gig tomorrow and wherever they are playing tonight.

it wasnt that bad. glasgow airport was dead by 8pm and there were no long waits or hold ups it was just really annoying having nothing on the plane

i had a bad cough and they wouldnt except turkish money so i couldnt buy any drink or food and couldnt take any cough medicine or throat sweets

coming back was fine though there were still armed police at the airport though

just so you know my facts all came from the BPI and IFPI not individual record companies

latest is ALL the shops in the airport are shut

so they better let us in with sandwhiches.

im wishes we'd said yes to in flight meals now :-(

shops are closing because of this? whats the general mood on the street like? how will the stereo-typical weegies get their buckie man?

i meant glasgow airport "hangs head"

im not sure why. my mum just told me she read it or heard it somewhere

dont know if its to stop them being mobbed or to let staff get away.

yes. lots of things. you must just read my drive by comments.

its not like it has no relevance in this thread.

and i like helping out mates.

if your band was playing some festival or something and i was on a forum where people didnt know id do the same

it better be real! i aint going through this stress for nothing

half the shops in glasgow are shut and my flight is gona be lucky to leave tonight. and with only money and my passport im going to get awful hungry until we land in turkey and we find a supermarket!

watch the news

yes im refering to that.

means my suitcase now weighs over 20kg :/ but they cant complain cause your allowed 5kg for your hang luggage and ive had to pack it all now.

cause i aint putting all my cameras and stuff in a rucksack for them to throw about. i know folk who work in luggage handling. you dont want to hear the stories.

means major delays too. the airline called to tell us to try arrive really early. but everyone is traveling on mega bus from aberdeen so cant exactly get here any quicker. arg

pretty crap isnt it :-(

4 hours of sheer boredum and nooo food.

it's like when sony tried to sue the makers of the first VHS recorders - just because a technology has the ability to let someone infringe copyright' date=' doesn't mean the technology itself is illegal. the same with the first makers of cd writers and duplicaters. P2P programs don't infringe copyright, people do.

[/quote']

which is why they take out law suits against the individuals who upload files allowing them to be downloaded through these p2p programs

and im sorry for not using the word network properly in your eyes but i am pretty sure it was clear what i was refering to. "a network - A system of computers interconnected by telephone wires or other means in order to share information. " By which i was talking about how you can share music files with other people by "other means" ie some software program

Just because i am not completely computer literate there was no need to nit pick at the fact i called them illegal networks instead of illegal filesharing software applications

(and even the IFPI call them p2p networks)

its late at night and ive got none of my uni notes on me but i know that around 20 billion songs were downloaded illegally in 2005.

Potential losses to the industry from file-sharing amount to $2.1 billion in 2004. (bpi)

"A two-year study that tracked the purchasing habits of downloaders against non-downloaders revealed that over time downloaders bought less music; amounting to a loss of an estimated 650million over two years."

Its alright you or i saying that we buy more albums because of stuff we hear for free online. but the average consumer is not like us. They only take 12 seconds to decide what album to buy in a shop.

So people are buying less albums because they are downloading for free. Therefor the record companies are loosing out on money. Yes there is a decline in sales for other economical reasons. Like we are coming to the end of the CD boom, but thats why Legal downloads are important. People buying tracks they may already own in mp3 format so they can upload them easier helps keep the industries going. Just like when everyone bought CDs of the same albums they owned on tape or record.

and for your answer to question about the artist the label are promoting it all depends. If that is the artist that are selling less albums because of illegal downloads then they are not going to be earning back their advances and will stay in debt so the companies may not wish to spend more money on them. But then they will not have any profits themselves to put into new acts. They would have to spend any they have on acts which they think will make them the most money in return for spending it

"Britain's wider music industry currently employs more than 125,000 people in the UK, and its record industry is responsible for most of the UKs investment in new artists; which in 2004 amounted to 17% of its turnover, or 207 million. To safeguard this investment, the BPI has been engaged in a long-term campaign to support its members' adoption of licensed digital distribution.

It has done this by both supporting emerging new digital music retailers, and by raising awareness over the illegality of distributing music on the internet using peer-to-peer filesharing software - including legal actions against the worst offenders."

So if they have less of a turnover.... then you will hear less of your favourite up and coming bands making it big.

Im gutted i cant go but im going to be in turkey.

Drive By Argument are playing so if you all can, go check them out. They have just recently signed their Album deal with Lizzard King. so go see them before they become huge. cause believe me, they will :-)

erm but the music industries are fighting against illegal filesharing because its making them loose out on money. They are not trynig to stop unsigned bands get their music out there.

sites like Myspace are good for that cause it is the artist who is willingly putting the music up there. They are agreeing to let people hear their music for free and if they want allow them to download it for free.

When it comes to things like Limewire, you can get whole albums for nothing and the artist looses out. Yes the record companies and publishing companies loose out to. And everyone thinks it is just them who are greedy for money. But ive seen figures for how little an act actually gets and every penny counts towards them paying their advances back and finally making some profit.

The RIAA and BPI are not trying to stop all file sharing networks, they are just trying to legalise them all.

The music industry is not trying to deny that the internet is the way forward. They are just a bit slow and are only now embracing peer to peer technology. But it isnt easy for them to do so when there are so many illegal networks out there.

*claps hands*

well said.

having to sell tickets in order to get some money is fair enough. reminds me of the days when lava did loads of gigs. bands would sell the tickets cheaper before hand, take some money for themself then give paul the rest. I was always happy to get a cheaper ticket and know that some of the cash went to the bands rather than paul taking it all.

obviously is not fair if you were touring somewhere and expected to sell tickets in order to get any money at all and you didnt actually know anybody in that city at all. I feel that a promoter should be willing to cover some of the travel expenses if they are resonable enough. I know we did when putting on our gigs at uni. and the majority of the bands didnt want any more money. they were happy for the exposure.

sorry how are they shooting themselves in the foot?
