Cuts are good, damnit And as for hype, well, they're something different, no wonder people are actually talking about them here. I have a review that needs posted of them, i'll do it tonight...It's kinda late to be posting a review, but bah, i've been so busy lately

What isn't in vBulletin 3?

what was the music scene like in Aberdeen a few years back? not in the 80's, but the early 90's?

I think it's safe to say that for someone who's never been to The Moorings before, it's sounding like a decent place to go already. I'll definitely be paying a visit once it opens

..is it possible to recieve all threads by e-mail and be able to reply to them via e-mail at all? i don't mean specifically on here, but does anyone know if any web based forums (apart from yahoo/msn groups) offer this?

Educate me, where was The Venue?

ooo..even better then anything that's a pisstake is good in my book

but they say full time students on their website...? ?( What are they like?

heheheehe

4 concessions unless Kef is doing concessions too? (and more to the point, there appears to be cheap drink on offer at the lemon tree too..and the x-certs. so. get stuffed )

6/7? eeeew..lemon tree for me

Not in the 'traditional' sense, but it's still a damned good way of raising positive PR without costing very much - look at the amount of attention they're going to get whenever the issue arises now? At the end of the day, they're likely to make more money this way, and anything that benefits them and the consumers is a win-win situation really. I agree entirely, it's about time that someone who has some degree of influence realised this. As for the GPL, it's probably one of the most important things in the computer industry, imo. I've lost count of the amount of stuff that i've used that's covered by it, and that's testament to just how good an agreement it is.

I think it's very interesting, because the amount of money that they'll lose by doing this is likely to be very little anyway, so it's a nice little PR stunt. It's also a way to get round any problems with getting the CD's out - by telling people that they can do what they like with the music, people will support them and likely try and get hold of the CD's anyway. I doubt they lose very much money by people downloading/copying anyway. If the moumentum continues, I'd like to see a confederation of independent record labels all joining up and releasing things under this, simply because their voice would more likely get heard that way than by a record label 'going alone' so to speak. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up proving that allowing people to copy is beneficial rather than detrimental.

a live performance of Hocus Pocus by Focus i'm absolutely terrified at just how prog one band can be

i'd have taken it in a minute if it was the SD stuff

damnit, i've just this minute tried to transfer money into my bank account, and my online banking has revoked my password, i don't know why and i'm fucked off..grrrrr! i can't come, my mum's not in, so i can't even scavenge money off her until tomorrow, and i dunno where she is.. i think i've just learnt a valuable lesson : never leave things until the very last possible minute

*whine* I want to move out..sometime would be nice i just know i'll never find a flat though, my criteria is far too fussy (awesome livejournal address, by the way )

three bedroom for that price? you'll be lucky (at least, somewhere decent).. I've been looking for a two bedroom for 550 that's not crap, and needless to say, it's not easy

mwahaha, I don't want those icons back, I like confusing people too much

*yell* I swear, there's some sort of conspiracy here that means the gigs keep getting cancelled

You do realise that it might be slightly tricky to bring back the Palace?

who's charging that, out of interest, so i know where to avoid?

Works easily, we had a suspicion that they were doing it from watching people get turned away after they'd been in the place across the road, and when we tried it, it happened as well. If I was being paid, or had to do something for psychology, i'd have sat there and watched a bit longer. Anyway, depending if you view the social sciences as a science, you could probably do some sort of test to see what happens when 100 people leave the pub across the road and try and get into the triple kirks Maybe it was just due to chance, I don't know - but it's a bit odd that they'd turn away people who had just left the place across the road without reason (yes, i know they don't have to give reasons..etc, but i've *never* been refused apart from when coming out of the place across the road) I think I have too much time on my hands

Just to throw something into the hat here... The one thing that irritates me (and I've never had this at HJB's or Moshulu) is when doormen refuse you without a reason when you're perfectly sober. I tested this once by going into the place across from the Triple Kirks for a quick drink, then we tried to get into the Triple Kirks..they refused us, without reason. I *personally* find it annoying as fuck when they do that. I personally think that a lot of aggression is caused by seemingly inexplicable things - like, I got thrown out of some club down here for being drunk. I was sat on a chair at the time, and wasn't bothering anyone. I can fully understand why some people might react badly to such an event. Thankfully, the guy in question was decent enough to let me tell my friends what was happening so they could react. Personally, I find it questionable if they were just throwing someone out without making sure they were okay, and I'd like to see all clubs have an area where they could accomodate drunk people who merely needed to sober up - throwing them out onto the streets isn't a good idea, in my opinion.

Ooooooooo...something to look forward to when i come back
