  1. For The Fly round up. Can someone please get me a high quality photo of either: Goldblade' date=' The Great Deciever, Filthpact, UK Subs, The Glitterati, Hell is for Heroes, The Music, Yourcodenameis:milo, Roots Manuva or The Fall...plenty of choice there for you, hopefully someone can help, I need it asap[/quote']

    try www.rossmorrison.net for some great photos of HIFH when they played Moshulu.

  2. I wonder sometimes why people under the age of eighteen boast so reaidly on a forum about their exploits in venues' date=' when the owners, staff and customers of said venues regularly view and post here.

    My theory is they have small brains, anyone got a better one?

    -edit- oh and Rob, December 02 was the correct date -/edit-[/quote']

    Yeah, my comments relate to 02, which what I had worked out as the date, unfortunately I typed 03.

    R

  3. Pete (MY bouncer) is a god! hehe! he sometimes does moorings doors and used to be a Lemon Tree doorman...he seriously rocks!!!

    heehee! I remember being refused from moshulu and then after waiting like 5 seconds for Kai so i could say bye' date=' the guy just said..."ok you can go in now" i was like WTF? and i'd only been 15 for two weeks then...haha![/quote']

    Well ...... As that would have been in Decmber of 03, well before we owned the place, and well before I worked there, and well before We hired our new door team and removed the old contracted one I think you can forgive us that indescretion.

    However, as Logan has posted photos of you in his gallery, its fair to assume you won't be getting in here again...

  4. I'd say on average we do around 150-200 Id's per week downstairs. Of those about 75% produce a valid drivers licence or passport and the the rest have to leave.

    Twice have CID visited on a Friday because some helpful soul has accused of us serving underagers, and twice have they found absolutely no Issue with it.

    If anyone knows anyone underage in there please point them out and they will always be ID'd... however if its just about how people look, then I have lost count of the times I have ID'd someone who was clearly underage only to be handed a passport saying they were 20.

    Also you have to remeber that people who are younger than you grow up too, I still think of my little brother being a kid, and yet he's 22. If you're 21 then somone at school who was 15 when you turned 18 is now legal to drink, but I don't think it seems like that when you see them in a bar, I know it was always wierd when I started seeing my little brother drinking in the same bar as me, even though I knew he had turned 18.

    As for the rest of the comments, thanks, i'll pass them on to the guys on the Bar

    Rob.

  5. Sorry if this seems nosey but if your making such large losses holding gigs what is the point in doing it? Will the company not eventually go bust by doing this? I think its great what you've done at Moshulu' date=' i notice Pink Grease are touring again :up: Although saying that its probably not worth getting them back after the turn out last time!![/quote']

    We had hoped that building a decent reputation would allow us to start to get bigger bands, that we could eventually make us some money. This has actually worked, and we recently have made 3 large bookings ......... only to have them poached and put on at the Lemon Tree by another promoter.

    Which was nice

  6. As Ross said, at least with MMW you know none of the following will happen :

    'who's that guy on stage with the band'? - 'oh thats the guitarists mate, he can't tune his own guitar'

    OR

    'why is your backline making a funny crackling and buzzing sound'? - *shrug* 'dunno, been doing that for a few weeks now'

    OR

    'excuse me Ross, do you have a spare *choose from a selection - string, plectrum, battery, AMP*

    which are all examples of actual things that he has been told at gigs, although we aren't naming any names for obvious reasons.....You know who you are.

  7. interesting to note the initial offer was equivalent to 5.8 hours of current official levels of American spending in Iraq.

    The new offer equates to a much more reasonable 2 days and 10 hours .

    The mind boggles how on earth these people are allowed to get away with it,

  8. Yeah, $80 Billion Dollars for Iraq, on top of the extra $80 Billion Dollars he asked congress for last year that was definately going to be last of the money needed to secure freedom for the Iraqi's.

    Its a sick joke, but its OK, the American people will wake up and vote the Idiot out of office this time round...............Oh hang on.

  9. The argument used by christian fundamentalists against homosexuality is quite interesting if you read the whole book of Leviticus.

    Here is a letter that was sent to someone using that passage of leviticus to denounce homosexuality:

    Dear Dr. Laura:

    Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your radio show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific Bible laws and how to follow them.

    a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors complain to the zoning people. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

    b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. What do you think would be a fair price for her? She's 18 and starting college. Will the slave buyer be required to continue to pay for her education by law ?

    c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense and threaten to call Human Resources.

    d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? ....Why can't I own Canadians? Is there something wrong with tham due to the weather?

    e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should this be a neighborhood improvement project ? What is a good day to start? Should we begin with small stones? Kind of lead up to it?

    f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. I mean, a shrimp just isn't the same as a you-know-what. Can you settle this?

    g) Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here? Would contact lenses fall within some exception?

    h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev.19:27. How should they die? The Mafia once took out Albert Anastasia in a barbershop, but I'm not Catholic; is this ecumenical thing a sign that it's ok?

    I) I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

    j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev.24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

    I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

    Your devoted disciple and adoring fan

    The problem isn't with religion itself. Many people use religion to find comfort and it helps a lot of people live better more productive lives.

    The problem, always, is when a minority try to control vast tracts of people to do whatever they want, citing religion as a reason to do it. This happens as much with Christian fundamentalists as with Moslem fundametalists. The only difference is that the Moslems crash planes into buildings full of unbelievers and get condemmed the world over, the Christian fundamentalists lie and cheat their way into power in the US and 'Legitametly' bomb vast numbers of unbelievers with no come back at all.

    Oh and they get to steal their oil while they are there.
