Kevin Keegan Confirms Dennis Wise As His No. 2

just read 'the state of the art' by Iain M Banks. Good quality shit as always

prefer his proper novels though, 'the state of..' is just a bunch of short stories....

It's quite a good collection and one I always go back to after reading one of his heavier duty sci-fi's.

Seriously, get your grubby little mits on Matter. Just published on hardback and a snip at 9.50 (if Waterstone's are still doing at half-price).

Still nothing beats Excession imo, Meatfuckers!!

Attack Of The Unsinkable Rubber Ducks by Christopher Brookmyre

Anyone else read this?

It's a Parlabane story with a difference - he's broon breid.

Read this back-to-back twice. Speak about misdirection! And what a twist at the end.

To me this is the best Brookmyre novel since Be My Enemy.

If you've never read anything by him start here and work your way backwards.

So, other peoples' thoughts?

Now reading 'Matter' the new Culture opus by Iain M Banks.

Fuck me, it's a beauty!

Latest results just in...

Nigeria 8, Ethiopia didnae

....I'll shut up now.

Goes without saying but North By Northwest

Both great movies, especially The Good Shepherd. Watched it last week and was very impressed. Thought Matt Damon was good in it too!

There must be another film he has done thats been made recently, although i cant think of any either!!

Stardust

You are indeed a twat, and also very dull. Goodbye.

Oh, how you flatter me :love:

I hate to break it to you but it's just slightly behind Alien Vs Predator and Superman Returns in the Worst film ever stakes.

Flogging a dead horse here but Love, Honour and Obey is the worst film ever.

He's hot and cold - mercurial even...

He was superb in Raising Arizona, Wild at Heart, Leaving Las Vegas & Adaptation & Matchstick Men, but absolutely fucking rank in Zandalee, The Rock, Con Air, Kiss of Death, 8MM and many, many more.

In the many, many more category I hope you are not including Face/Off

A bit old as well, that's from 2005.

I think the Beeb's website has gone skew-iff. The story appears under Tuesday's banner.

I am an Afc supporter, and as some kind of sick joke, a friend bought me a book called "Cogratulations you've just met the Aberdeen casuals" Thanx!! After reading the first few pages and then skimming through the rest as my blood boiled inside I had to put the pile of s**t down and walk away.

Can anybody help me to track down a website where I can e-mail the bloodclot who wrote this book, or put me in touch with anyone who ran with this loon in his so called hey day?

I'm currently in Iraq and all I want to do is invite him and his mates across here to witness what fighting is really like, done by real men, instead of a bunch of wasters spoiling the game of football and tarnishing the name of the club that REAL supporters love !!!!!! Come and have a go big man!!!!

Just to be snide, petty and an excruciating wank; didn't the title of the book alert you in anyway as to what the content would involve?

It's self-admittedly and unabashedly about football violence and why he got involved in the scene in the first place and why to a certain extent he glorifies it. It is not an ardent AFC fan's recollections and enthusings of the glory years. How you can liken what happened on the terraces and away from the grounds to a battle field and war zone where you are fighting evades me. The two are mutually exclusive, and never the twain shall meet.

If you had been less churlish and persevered with the book then you'd have discovered the 80scasuals website and forum. There you can vent your spleen.

I do not in anyway condone the voilence the casuals meted out. Back in the day I thought they were wanks, especially the under 5's. Some of the main members and heid honchos were OK but there was always a sense that they were spoiling for a stairheid rammy just for the sheer hell of it and always with the odds stacked in their favour - about 3 to 1. Sometimes more.

Nowadays I'm a bit of a clothes horse and gazing through the retrospectoscope I, hand on heart, thought that the clobber they wore was indeed stylish (with the exception of Burberry).

Now you have mitigation to call me a twat:up:

A bit savage, no?

E-mail sent to your work address!!

There's another one, Diary of an Aberdeen Casual or something, by Jay somebody, it's fairly shite as well.

Pedantry in motion:

It's entitled Bloody Casuals: Diary of a Football Hooligan by Jay Allan

I've read them both and found them to be entertaining as there's nothing better than a stairheid rammy between rival crews.

Currently reading Attack of The Unsinkable Rubber Ducks by Christopher Brookmyre. Hoot-a -page hilarity all the way through

Typical Aberdeen-music thread from days of yore...

Someone new comes along asking for a bit of advice and the thread gets hijacked by a misanthrope who bathes in negativity.

Kookie, welcome to Aberdeen. If you go to the Tilted Wig at the Castlegate you'll find a juke box there that'll tickle your taste buds. If your looking for decent venues then take Dave's suggestions at face value.
