This is why I keep a marker pen by the bed. Simply jot her name down on her back early on. Sorted.

Hack her minecraft server, and go in and build a massive I LOVE YOU next to her house, like the Hollywood sign but in Glowstone.

Apparently the judges were going to be 'experienced members of our regular bands' - ie from what I can see, the likes of Bash St Kids, Pepperpot, Groove Cruise, and other 'circuit' cover bands... *shudder*

We entered a battle type deal at Drummonds a few years ago, reluctantly, as it was to get on the bill at some new festival (Seaton park maybe?) Then the festival was cancelled, and the competition carried on for a cash price of 2 grand. So we pulled out.

I replied to their FB page asking how many bands they expected to sign up. They replied saying this is going on for a whole month "so there's no limit!"

They deleted my subsequent reply, and I got a PM saying were happy to answer my questions privately...

O'Donoghues just posted this on the Ab-Mus facebook page. Opinions, anyone?

The Heists were promising to begin with, I had a go on the first morning when everyone was trying it out, and before the septics woke up. Was pretty good fun, but then about lunchtime it all ground to a halt as the servers struggled. And since then it's been a bit pish, tbh. You need to have a set number of players for each part of the heist, so unless you've arranged it with your pals, it means you have to wait in a lobby for randoms to join. And because everyone is doing the same thing, it takes ages. You can be waiting for like 10 mins, waiting for one more player, then someone else gets bored and quits, meaning another 10 min wait. And if anyone leaves during the mission, it's a fail and you're back to square one. Four times in a row I got over halfway through before someone fucked off, leaving me and the others to start all over again. Frustrating.

Anyone still playing? Anyone doing heists?

This same guy once told Parliament that surgeons don't operate on a full moon, because blood cannot clot.

Total zoomer.

Think you'll find several hundred people on a Friday night in Union Street being sociable, but definitely anti-social.

How often do public swimming pools change the water?

Guilty conscience?

The whole world is in huge amounts of debt. Who to?

EDIT EDIT: Fuck sake, no, it was Terrence Howard and CBJ. So I'm definitely racist. I thought CBJ played Rhodey in the first Iron Man movie.

Who's CBJ?

Oh I get it now it should have been "you must have seen a repeat".

Also, Skinny Pete = Biz.

That is all.

I just finished the whole thing on the Netflix, therefore have finally been able to read this thread. Well done, everyone. Well done.

I have a feeling you may not be ready to gig just yet.

im going to drop kick the bitch in the face. Now she mails us saying shes got the dates mixed up and we are fine. Who wants to come to our next gig?

Aye, ok. What are the odds of both the supposed 'twins' expecting at the same time? Convenient cover story, man.

(congratulations, obv...)

Recently my band have done a few gigs, both as support, and as headliners (playing last...) Started me thinking - is there a difference? Should you approach these gigs differently? Are some bands better suited to being supports, or only really good as headliners?

Is the job of a support just to warm up a crowd for the main act? Or should you aim to blow them off the stage?

Does a support have to be similar in style, or is a varied bill better?

As an aside, my band are playing Downstairs on 30th August, and looking for a support. Who should we get?

Whale oil?

Beef hooked?

What's that big golf ball thing behind Bridge of Don?

Part of the radar system for the airport.

Imagine folding a piece of paper over a few times, it becomes about a centimetre thick, then next fold becomes roughly an inch, next fold would be roughly 4 inches, then 16, 256 etc... So by 42 folds it would be paper thickness by power of 42 or some shite like that.

That is some bad maths but rough explanation.

It multiplies by two each time. So if it's an inch thick, it becomes two inches, not four.

It's the same theory as the old story about a grain of wheat on a chessboard. If you put one grain on the first square, then two on the next, then four, and double the amount each time, by the time you finish the board the pile of rice would be bigger than Mount Everest.
