  1. I'm on Tiscali too, only problems I have are occasionally the t'interweb won't connect but I think that's mostly down to my shoddy wiring system rather than the server. Either way, restarting the computer sorts it out. Thing with internet providers other than BT is that you often have to pay line rental to BT in addition to the ISP, so even if the internet is cheap, you have to add on another 10 a month for line rental, it can be a bit deceptive.
  2. I love the EP, not sure a whole album would hold my interest but those 4 songs are great. I underestimated my charm again has been stupidly overplayed by me

  4. Stonehaven have a classic car rally once a year, you migth be able to find some folk through the organiser Classic Cars Shows UK, Veteran Motor Shows UK, Heritage Motor Shows UK, Motor Shows UK
  5. I thought that was a lovely addition to the story Pure comedy
  6. Ah...Lightyear, I remember seeing them and Captain Everything in Kef years ago. Good times. Goldfinger have somehow appeared in my MP3 player, not sure how but I do enjoy a few songs. They're not bad, they're just not Less Than Jake.
  7. Whereas if you saute them with some onions and garlic they're an gastronomic delight? o_O

    Your current read?

    I'm getting my Bruce Campbell on and reading If Chins Could Kill and Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way. Which sadly isn't his take on the Kama Sutra. Cause that would be awesome.
  9. Aye, Brad Renfro. He was a talented chappy too, horrible drug problems though. Kind of a River Phoenix figure in a way, wasn't in a huge amount of films but showed amazing potential. Just a shock in general, Heath Ledger didn't have the public persona of a guy who had those kind of problems. Seemed very wholesome and all.
  10. Yay for books. Cheap, cheerful and you can always find one about something that interests you. What's not to like?
  11. when you phone the folk who answer have a list of questions they *have* to ask you and because the calls are often recorded they do have to ask. My mates brother works on the phoneline and has a million and one stories about stupid people asking stupid questions. But for every 10 idiots there's someone who really is ill and scared and needs help. If you're going to look up symptoms online be care of the site you used. Patient.co.uk is pretty reliable. My doctor looked it up to show me stuff when I went to see her last. Having said that her diagnosis was totally wrong... It's worrying that medicine seems to be a game of chance sometimes :-/
  12. Yeah the APA thing is probably going to work...because they've been given more funding than the Lemon Tree ever was and using even a fraction of it means that when the Tree comes back it's going to have more funding than ever. I'm not sure how the gig thing is going to work out seeing as all the gigs that were going to be there have been moved elsewhere. It's going to take a long time to build up a good list of acts to play over the coming months. The place probably won't be on it's feet til Autumn. Hmm...not really sure how I feel about it to be honest.
  13. Goodapple homes are specifically for this purpose I think, and you don't have to take the first flat you're offered. Might not be a huge wait because I'd imagine it'd mostly by familes needing houses pronto so 1 bedroom flats might be easier to find. Have a looky here:How do I become a tenant? Again, as Lester said, the problem with looking to be a flatmate of students is that you could end up having to pay all the council tax, depending on how honest you and your flatmates are. You can probably dodge if for a while though. Or! Get a job in a hotel...sometimes they give you board as part of the deal. Maybe not in the city centre though. Take care, and good luck. I don't know the details of your problems of course, but it's a situation we could all find ourselves in with little notice and it'd be nice to think that people can be helpful rather than just act as though you've brought it upon yourself, eh?
  14. Kate Mccan just seems to have treated the whole thing as an inconvienience. She looks so bored of the whole thing. She needs to step away from the red tops and ITV news and get some perspective on the whole thing and realise that guilty or not the whole thing is her and her husbands fault. I don't give a damn who you are or how safe the resort seems, you do not leave your children alone so you can have a meal with your mates. Get a grip. You wanted kids, be aware that any holidays you take with them from birth til the age of around 16 are going to be based around the kids enjoyment, not yours.
  15. Seems to be a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. The money, I believe will be returned to people who request it back and otherwise will be used to help campaign for the venue being used for another purpose.
  16. Jacob's Inn was alright when me and a few friends stayed there the summer before last. Pretty basic but clean and cheap. Plus they have a a few flats for lease opposite the hostel which are really comfy. We got upgraded there because of a mix up with the bookings, so only had to pay the price of a dorm, but I think it'd be well worth a lok if you're staying there for a few days. Bonus points for it being right next to the bus station too. Temple Bar area is pretty expensive compared to other parts of the city if I remember rightly, and it's mad at night, so if you want a good nights kip I'd steer clear.
  17. That's beautiful, man I'm pissed off my knowledge of The Palace was limited to it being the place where the pikey cumbuckets in my year at school used to go to the under 18s night to get a 'trap'. I always thought it was a Ministry type place until it closed and then all these stories of sticky floored bliss started. I feel cheated
  18. He's lovely Have you heard him rant about his time at Cafe 52 though? Eeek!
  19. I may work there and be slightly biased, but Musa is really good. The food is good value as well because the portions are huge. Only thing I'd say is to ask for a table upstairs when you book. It's not as cramped as downstairs. But it is an informal place, the whole idea is to have good food without a stuffy atmosphere. La Bamba moved a few doors down, it's still there.
  20. There's no way that was 10 years ago, I would only have been 12.
  21. I have the biggest grin on my face now Everyone looks so young! How old are those photos? And the guy gurning next to the guy who isn't Maxi is called Steve I think. Ex flatmate of a guy I used to work with. Proving once and for all how tiny this city is.
  22. I didn't read them, but they still pushed out all the other bulletins I had. Also thought the profile had maybe been hacked, so thought I'd let whoever needed to know...know.
  23. Ashtray Heart is a great song, my dad's been listening to Captain Beefheart for years so I'm sure I know more songs than I think.
  24. Band name - HMS Excalibur album name - Sigismondo d'India 1-1961 in television 2-Elton Flatley 3-Robin Hood and the Beggar, II 4-Grand Millennium Plaza II 5-Gundam 6-Council of Arab Economic Unity 7-Main Universal Store 8-Michael Klesic 9-Scandal 10-River Poddle 11-Royal Army Dental Corps 12-List of didgeridoo players 13-Mirabelle plum Awesome. Sounds like a mix between The Long Blondes and Coheed and Cambria.
