vapid

pretty much...

I've been asked if I can get a copy of the manual for a Boss ME-6B mixer. Its for folk at Tynemouth college. Anyone any ideas?

haha! your birthday present came. now you just have to worry about what your mother-in-law got you. heehee.

yup, happy birthday.

you implyin something pencil like about gu-ish appendages? wouldn't it be less likely to incur wrath if the question was 'whats the difference between a wheelchair and hotmangu?' a wheelchair doesn't have a hefty salami up its bum.

yup, the ways of the Gu are many and cunning- the shtaner bwai buffoonery fools many lesser mortals into thinking otherwise.

no. try again...

ahhh... schizophrenia (or 2 for the price of 1)

Couldn't be less random if i tried, but maybe should have PM'd one of the Gu with it instead of putting it on the board.

that sax player was pretty good....

Like i said, this may not make sense to everyone- if you understand why UK copyright is relevant to the Gu at the minute, and you can stand the convoluted language, you might reward yourself with a justifiable Gu-ey smirk by the time you get to the end. So..... UK copyright law differs from US copyright law in that UK copyright is automatically assumed as soon as any artefact or other thing is created by the entity entitled to be identified as its author or creator. So, for example, if you were to be daft enough not to know this and follow the kind of bad advice you might get online or from the actions of a particular stateside hero you might have (cough... Lars), and write a song with a remarkably similar riff (for example), and then go out and copyright it, in the UK this wouldn't work,legally, as the original author (or creative entity) still has the right to be identified as the creator of the work, even if they did not specifically copyright the (e.g.) song. If anyone were to copyright a ripped off melody (for example) after it were publicly established as the work of another entity- for example by being released on an EP for which there was ample evidence of the recording and release date, or date stamped video or MP3s, it would be extremely foolish of the first party (the rippee) to count on 'official' copyright of such a melody if that copyright were asserted after established dates on which this melody were played by the the second party (the ripped off)- copyright automatically belonging to the first established entity to have created any particular creation. Copyright action costs a lot of money- it would be a daft thing to go out and copyright something you know to bear a close resemblance to someone else's work unless 1) You thought they were about to become very famous and make lots of money, and were daft enough not to check out UK copyright law, thinking you might make a fast buck or two by copyrighting someone else's work. 2) You were even dafter and though you might become rich and famous yourself, and keep a view to establishing Lars-like infamy by bringing action against others. Personally, if I were in the position of finding out someone else had just gone out and copyrighted my stuff instead of going to the bother of writing their own, i wouldn't sue their ass- particularly if everyone was laughing at them anyway. I would just wait for them to show their hand and see if they're bringing an action- (especially since this isn't the kind of thing you can get legal aid for)- let them clock up the legal costs, collect your evidence, and look forward to all them juicy damages and costs..... I can go back through all my old data law and ethics, and publishing law notes, for UK and international copyright law, if anyone wants any further info on this. It was a subject in which i did nae bad at all, if i mind right. all the best and a well Gu-ey new year

legendary tosser? i'd be proud of that...

I'm assuming everyone else is still too hung over to have posted this year, so i'll say hi while everyone is still out looking for paracetamol. X-(

wasn't it just that you were actually in the airport 3 times as long but cos you were there for stratovarius the airport wait seemed much shorter than the gig?

there goes the neighborhood- bc, motherfukka

if you search the forums by stripey's name there are various examples of stuff he's done, things he's asked in musicians corner, etc. they pretty much speak for themselves. also note the difference in tone when stripey is talking to people he thinks are worthy of his (her? i reckon its a he) attention. like i've said elsewhere, stripey is probably a forum-boosting alternate id of someone really sound that everyone knows- no real person could possibly be such a prat. on the other hand, if there is an actual person expressing actual views behind the alter-ego of stripeyness, it is incredibly sad that they've gobshited themselves into such a corner after recently moving to a new area. instead of expressing differing opinions in a non-contemptuous manner, which would have made them interesting and would have invited the respect and comradeship the person seems to crave judging by their posts in other forums (musicians corner, fr instance)- stuff they've said about bands they've taken apparently gratuitous exception to has earned them the opprobrium of the people they've been trying to impress. don't get angry at stripey- laugh if you must, but personally i think a dollop of pity is in order.

this has gone beyond the realm of audience comprehension. excellent........

i love stripey. stripey is actually a composite virtual person devised to bump up board stats ( kind of like Thomas Pynchon, but completely different). devised by who/m i don't know, but i have robin ramsey on the job.... (so bilderburg will probably come in somewhere. maybe stripey is actually gordon brown, overwhelmed by the time he met sandy, and now dedicated to a double life of board squatting and the massaging of stats........)

yup, shiny too, and heavy. rass is also happy, cos its half his.

sandy's new amp came yesterday. mwahahahaha...............

ceiling pig naughty fire has been adopted and named by the ems and the abs- you so don't want to fuck with those two. shit,he hasn't told them about chris yet, just in case...

um, yeah, happy belated birthday, extra adopted bwai.. (this places you in the same position as ceiling pig naughty fire, except you haven't been named by the babies yet. be afraid...)

'pparently it remains so to this day. i don't have to go there anymore, which is a good thing.

Re: Re: cheer up folks shit, everyone else gets it.. bollocks,stripey, you pretend to be a musician, and pretend your critique of atom (etc) is based on superior knowledge and ability-yet you can't even transpose a basic tab.i can't do that either, but then i'm not pretending to be better than anyone else. when people try to give you the help you've asked for they get rewarded with abuse. all the aubl/aberdeen music forums revolve around mutual aid and respect, even if people don't like the actual music other people produce, and a few dicks are exceptions to the rule. people resisting the RIAA co-operate and share- people producing and putting up media they've created because they want to be doing something rather than just consuming stuff- people who help others because they have knowledge others need- all have one thing in common- they don't feel the need to bitch and snipe to make themselves appear creative or productive- they get on with it. and...i wouldn't use lube to put a goats head up atom's arse.

cheer up folks this is a bit harsh (mebbes deservedly so- when people go and talk themselves into a corner(why isn't there a cackling witch smiley?)),but you might want to check out the creative suggestions thread over in musicians corner... another nice thing... Saint Che: GAMBONE, Larry Red Lion Press A5 pamphlet 1.00 Che as religious icon. Che as Stalinist policeman. Che as admirer of Peronist fascism. Time to tear down those posters, boys and girls! ....so don't pick on people who pretend to be musos/politicos/intellectuals with obviously inadequate credentials. don't mock the afflicted. lets rise above here people (smirks) shit, there's no smirking smiley either...
