  2. To be honest' date=' I would prefer a decent dvd collection and a modest television screen. So, what's it gonna be? A television screen that you will eventually lose all enthusiasm for... or a dvd collection of about 200 which will have all your friends steaming with jealousy. I'd choose the latter, plus, as someone already said, those things will get better some day and that version will be worth about 100.[/quote']

    Of course, if you already have a DVD collection of about 200... ;)

    Not 100% decided yet, it's a minimal additional outlay a month, as I currently rent a 32" widescreen.

  3. Oh, and "she *WILL* be loved" delivered in that rapey tone of the syphillitic cunt from Maroon 5. There are other bits from that song that make me cringe, but the implied rapey-ness just makes my skin crawl. As does the bit when he "sings" "Oh yeah, yeah" in the follow up single.

    Actually - screw lyrical content - I genuinely believe Maroon 5 are a cancerous sore placed on this world by some force of malevolent evil in an attempt to kill any desire I'd ever have in the future to hear words from another human being's mouth.

    It's fair to say I fucking despise Maroon 5.

  4. I HATE that song and its lyrics

    I'm I the only person on the entire planet that can hear the blatant similarity between the vocals on that Killers song and the entire back catalogue of Shed Seven? Really, I hear it 800 times a day, being forced to listen to Radio 1 as I am, and everytime it comes on I still think it's Rick Shitter.

    I don't understand how someone from Las Vegas can sound *exactly* like someone from York, but there you go.

  5. of course it would be. cos dance music doesn't have images and lyrics about death' date=' rape, murder and suicide. it's pretty simple.[/quote']

    I point you to Aisha by Death In Vegas. A dance song about rape. Admittedly with Iggy Pop polluting it with his EVIL ROCK N ROLL WAYS :devil::p

    But to my eyes, the finger of blame points it's hand right at his stupid cow of a "mother".

  6. Hearts penalty may have been dubious, but we had a stonewaller turned down right afterwards. Not entirely sure why the Aberdeen goal was chalked off, but I'm not exactly going to cry about it too much! And at the end of the day, in what has been a very, very pish season for us (Braga games and Basel away excepted), we're still in the hunt for a European spot.

  7. This smacks of ripping off the mighty Schlanegar who did rap versions of Scorpions songs. I bet Cluskey is behind this.....

    Nothing at all to do with me' date=' my friend. Credit where credit's due.

    But I'd keep an eye open for the imminent return of the mighty Woowar. Album working title: The Best of Maroon 5.

    And I suggest this as an aberdeen-music night out. It would be brilliant.

  8. Report them to trading standards - I have......

    Unfortunately' date=' I believe the proviso they had when you ordered will probably cover them. A much better course of action would be to provide them with links to *every* other online site you can find that has the boxset, point out to them that it is clearly not out of print or out of stock and that you think they may be trying to worm their way out of paying up for *their* mistake. If they want to argue it, tell them you'd like the order re-opened and the 6 week period before they cancel the order honoured. Means you may not get your boxset, but they won't be able to stock it for that time...

    Here's a fun link to send them when they try to deny it [url']http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/ctl/do/search?siteSearchQuery=futurama+complete&catId=100164013

    Have fun!

  9. Surprise surprise

  10. It does say 'Temporarily out of stock'' date=' so something tells me these orders quite possibly never had a chance of being fulfilled. It does however get a pile of much needed mailing addresses for Smith's advertising department though...

    Or am I just cynical?[/quote']

    This thought crossed my mind last night. They have taken the money from my credit card already however (it said on the confirmation that they wouldn't take the money until the order was ready to despatch), so we'll see. If it arrives - brilliant, if not - nothing lost.

  11. is this supposed to be about the lionel ritchie-alike who has a kebab shop in aberdeen? that rumour made its way all the way down to edinburgh and has caused far too much confusion.

    It made its way down to Edinburgh via me, so it's not like there's an elaborate, nationwide Chinese Whispers game going on at his expense. And I doubt this is anyway related to the kebab-merchant from the - last I heard - defunkt Marrakesh. Who incidentally looked *exactly* like Lionel Richtea.

    How are you anyway? Long time no see...
