Did anyone see that the UN are pulling out of the Congo?

That's pretty bad, eh...I mean, "letting" a genocide happen (potentially), is pretty fucked up, right there..eh.

Nope, JW's have amongst the poorest retention levels for people born into the faith of any "religion". They tend to bugger-off at the earliest opportunity & never come back.

one of my best friends in school was from a JW family.

He decided to leave his own home at the age of 17 - because his dad was such a twat.

Last thing I heard, he's an alcoholic now...a real shame, as he was a smart cookie back in the day.

Hmm i will have to discuss with the guy who prices the cds, i too agree they can be a bit pricey but its for a good cause.

I didn't actually know that one up did a second hand bit, i might have a look there on saturday.Cheers for all the replies

they are downstairs, if you've never seen them.

The entire Country & Western genre. Thats what I didn't and will never buy.

until you realise one day that not all C&W is the banal, rednecked, stereotype you undoubtedly have in your head...and perhaps open your mind once in a while to finding something new to listen to.

this thread is on a hiding to nowhere, way to go giles...did you lend STR... your log in details?

just say you are already signed up...that always works. (or just ignore them)

Just before I moved from Stonehaven, they opened a Jehovahs Witness hall right outside my house.

Annoying cunts. I just tell them God is dead.

...and no one cares?

and if there is a Hell....I'll see you there?

all the time.

It's actually ace finding a gem in a second hand shop, and the less "well known" the better.

I'd found God - anatomy of addiction in a bargain bin in a second hand record shop in St Andrews...for 1. (currently 24.99 on amazon.co.uk) Amazon.co.uk: Used and New: Anatomy of Addiction

I always love "splashing out" 50p or a quid for "something that looks interesting" (I am a sucker for nice cover art)...I bought the Mugison lp (Niceland) for 50p because of that...and Kim Hiorthy's "Hei" for 50p thanks to his ace design on the cover.

lovely past time. I got most of my Skinny puppy & Butthole Surfers Vinyl from Ripping Records in Edinbugh...second hand...

fuck me...

this merits two threads?

THEY ARE SHITE.

nuff said.

Stop feeding the machine*

* how ironic I post a reply. yes.

anyone mind when they played with therapy? and co.uk in the lemon tree (around 2000 I think) and lightbody was right in about the crowd? he ended up trying to pull my mate

the martha wainright tune was pretty damn good

that was clutch...wasn't it?

or did Therapy? and .co.uk decide to sneak back in for a second go to apologise for thier piss poor gig?

I had two Jehova's come round once...

I should have knocked them on the head harder.

and dug the well a bit deeper.

IT PUTS THE LOTION IN THE BASKET.

Red Snapper | Pale Blue Dot | 10.28.08 | scissorkick

you can hear a sample track there "wanga doll"

bluesly slidey guitar + the "usual" loose double bass, jazzy ride driven drums...and a nice brassy hook.

I think I may just go get this for myself.

a few more samples on boomkat too....if anyone's bothered.

congrats Dan, this is indeed excellent news for Aberdeen music! It's always good to hear of good stories here!

I hope it's all good and sustainable for you!

Here's to the UK Eurovision song being a rip snorter!... ( he he )

I'm trying to setup broadband on a computer but before I can begin installation the software does a system check and keeps getting an error message of:

Could not find PCI slot.

Could not find an Ethernet adapter, ensure LAN card is enabled.

I also found this on the computer and suspect it's probably related:

Any help would be appreciated.

"The software"...

some description of that, might help people....

any installation software I've tried to use - always fucks up - so just don't use it.

Talk Talk installation - failed (by passed - worked...reccomended by the techie guy I phoned)

Midi Keyboard - didn't bother with the software, installed it via plug and pray.

Wireless router - didn't use software / install - works a treat.

I didn't mean you gave him rep points! I was agreeing with your post, but meaning the other guy gave him rep points!!

Always with the rep points...it can not be done.

you must unlearn what you have learned.

Mine was RBS, there are some websites out there that can help you by giving you templates for letters and suchlike.

good old martin lewis geot me 150 quid back from the Northern Rock, when we changed our mortgage (3 years ago now).

nice.

To be honest i still don't really get what his deal was, what was it?

Were his parents burned out acid casualties or something?

or perhaps just brother and sister*

*just jokes, just jokes.

Working at a KP at simpsons hotel, I phoned in sick after a night on the tiles. (despite the fact my shift started at 3pm, relatively late on)

However, my folly was that aparently I had bumped into my boss the previous night and chatted to him about how "hammered" I was, and in my drunken stupor, I had forgotten this imperative detail the morning after.

Needless to say he wasn't impressed.

what you should have done, was totter in, half cut, stinking like a near-sick experience, breath on some cuntstomers and generally show everybody that you were indeed too drunnk to function in a job environment...

I once had to work at Xpress Print on the 2nd of Jan...and I'd had a "tequilla night" the night before with a friend who worked there. We were tasked with setting up a poster of Elf (oil company)....there were 10 lines of text + 1 pic. and we managed to "miss" 11 typos... ho ho...

They never learn, do they.

you could always buy your own Zorb ball...and hope that your work has showers.

Dying from a heartattack in one of these would be a "good way out"...you'd get in the news too, bonus for those attention seeking dongs we all love to hate.

(rush hour at the mouth of the Dee)

He's called Ewan Kellock. it's just out of pure curiosity that I wanted to find out more about them.

Ewan with the broken finger?

he was also in "mellon fence" with Murray, Maple drummer.

good guy.

I'm not seen as a particularly fan there.

nothing worser than being seen as a particularly fan...

Fuck's sake - that's me right off Walnut Whips now

I wouldn't venture my tongue near that tarts rusty sherrif's badge, have you seen the state of her nose?...she must have pungent farts.

eee, thatun'll tek paint off tit wall.

I went through a spell of eating battered mars bars a few years back, but by jeebus! They're FAR too sweet for regular consumption.

Tasty, mind!

yeah, you really should take the battered mars "the french way", no sweet after taste, and all the callories...yum yum.

still, that's another 60 bucks on top of the rent just for getting to and from work!!

true...

but what about job security (especially in these times), you'd be last in, first out...

60 a month (and getting up a wee bit earlier) might be a bit safer than starting a new job?

looks like nobody wanted it.

gadget boy.
