As far as I could fugure out when planning my pedal board: 1) To ensure the grip strong enough so the velcro doesn't break away from the pedal or board you'll have to get some with really sticky bases, or glue it on. 2) Most - but not all - pedals already have raised rubber grips on each corner, so to make sure the velcro's effective you'll either have to remove these grips (bringing the bottom of the pedal down to 'ground level'), or glue some wood between the board and the base of the pedal to put the velcro on. Either way I reckon cable ties are better because there's no messing or fooling around, they're easy to cut off and replace, plus, you get 100 for a couple of bucks.

All funds raised go to the Friends of Balnagask charity.

Got our new bassist and he's a brutal funk-master! His first gig is this next one so be sure so come down and check out the new Onion receipe. To raise funds for the Friends of Balnagask charity. Monday 28th May at Cafe Drummonds. Doors from 7:30pm and it's only 3 to get in, all of which goes to the charity mentioned above. The line-up is: Onion Terror Farmyard Collective Dangerzone Freeline

QUICK, EVERYONE PUT DOWN THIS GIG AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!! Heaps of folk have paid 6 to see local bands before, and will probably have to again sometime soon. It's not that big a deal, so it's a coulple of bucks more expensive than a gig at Drummonds, big woop, you can't get a pint for that in most places. I've heard In Your Honour are pretty ace anyway.

velcro's shit and will ruin your pedals. Use cable ties. I've made a pedal board out of an old skateboard deck. All I did was drill a small hole at either side of where the pedals would be and attached them with the chord ties; when necessary I cut out a hole on the back of the deck for putting the batteries in. All in all, only took about 30 minutes, and is perfect for gigging. Only problem is that it will only hold about 4-5 pedals. Will post pictures if anybody wants to see them

I think it's shite that the BBC (as far as I'm aware the only channels that gets paid for directly from the rediculously high TV license) can't afford to keep one of their most popular shows. Doesn't really bother me that it's Neighbours though, as I don't watch it, but I will miss salivating over Carmella's pretty - non-burnt - face... if she makes it out of the car bomb!!! Biggest question, what will replace it?

I loved the massive free-for-all at the end when it was dry humpage gallore; how many fannys did they think that girl on the couch had?

End of.

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL It's Dixon Bainbridge!

That was the first thing that came to my mind, the fact that they're probably doing this to make it a more organic bar o' chocolate. The demand for organic food has boomed drastically over the past few years, and when coupled with the current trend of pushing healthy food and lifestyles, it's pretty much reached the fad stage amongst shoppers. However, big business (naturally) isn't far behind and have realised that by slapping on an organic labell they can incrase the value of their product. Even when you buy 'organic' items, there's little guarantee that it actually is 100% natural; probe into illegal egg labelling I think it's good to see companies like cadbury's actually giving it a go.

Only caught the last half hour or so deliberatley, just to hear Wogan sprout a load of drunken toss. Although I hate everything else he's ever been involved in, his slurring of everything non-UK is brilliant!

On the contrary, I reckon it's one of the funniest films in a long time. So many good techniques and styles of delivery, particularly interesting for those involved in comedy. Totally appeals to my sense of humour, and has an awesome 'cast'.

I was in for some afternoon delight today and there wasn't a drop to be seen - except for the guys toilets, where someone always manages to miss the massive target.

It doesn't hurt as much as this guy thinks... alternatively hit the 'preview post' button every 5-10 mins so you don't get logged out and lose everything.

Just wondering if anybody likes every film that a single director has made? I can't say there's a single Todd Solondz film that I dislike - although there's only 4 widely avaliable ones. They're all so awkward, grey and outlandish, plus he's got to be the best at doing dark comedy at the moment. I'd probably recomend that people check out Welcome to the Dollhouse or Happiness first, I think they're his strongest ones. I'd also say Lars Von Trier and Lukas Moodysson but you've got to be in a certain mood to watch their films, very good at story telling. Guess Tarantino's pretty cool too, although his films are more about cool and homage than anything else. What's everybody elses' favourite directors?

Cheers for that! Don't think she'll turn up in Aberdeen though.

He's got a point y'know. I remember when I was a lad there was heaps of nudity on the telly all the time, and channel 5 even went as far as showing soft-porn. These days, although I don't watch much TV, there never seems to be so much as a nip-slip on terestrial.

One of my new heroes managed to sue a beer company that employed him as a taster! He drank up to 25 glasses a day and was given a beer at the end of each shift! In the end he got a shit-load of money because he claims the company didn't deal with his alcoholism... Any other people worthy of a mention?

Lots of players let you skip the pointless menus by pressing the 'top menu' / 'main menu' buttons. The one thing I really fucking hate is the 'You wouldn't steal a purse / car / phone / movie' adverts... It's on almost every box-set (on every disc) and loads of new films, made even more ironic when you're actually watching a copied disc.

Just got 4 messages sent from the number '2030' claiming 2 of the configuration messages will enable me to use WAP and MMS, which I can already do, that seem a little dodgy to me. Tried calling 2030 but just get a wierd noise, and searching '2030' on the O2 website has no results. Anyone else got this sort of thing from that number before? Don't really want to fuck my phone up by installing these bits and bobs.

It's almost like... ... Reading the ol' Onion posts! But still, oocha!

Telling the truth in C again! Fucking yaldy.

Forum Termination Next Week!

Gran'ts just made it on to my 'Big list of heroes'.
