Where can they go from last year though? They've gotten their "live sex on TV", albeit not properly on show, and how are they going to top Nadia for an "outrageous" character? A murderous cannibal contestant with a fetish for chicken sex? I reckon I'll manage 3 weeks of avoiding it before I get lured in as usual. I almost went the entire series 4 without watching it though.

Boyd's not-so-latent homophobia rears it's head again. I love the way they hint towards Gino being gay, but never ACTUALLY say it.

1. The Holy Bible - Manic Street Preachers 2. Generation Terrorists - Manic Street Preachers 3. Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses 4. Joy Division - Closer 5. The Downward Spiral - Nine Inch Nails 6. Mit Gas - Tomahawk 7. It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back - Public Enemy 8. The Clash - The Clash (US Version) 9. Nothing's Shocking - Jane's Addiction 10. Taxidermy - Queen Adreena Something like that anyway. Close calls were Angel Dust by Faith No More, Meat Is Murder by The Smiths, Pornography by The Cure and Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin.

I think Mr Taking The Piss would be more apt. If there is such a comic strip.

There are some nice old people, like the guy Jimmy who used to come into the shop I worked at. He'd trundle along with a big grin on his face, then stop a few yards from the counter, check that he had enough change for his paper, then come to the till chuckling away saying "I hope I've got enough change, heh heh heh! Can i have two lucky dips for myself, and two for my neighbour please." And then he'd say something funny, and trundle off again. Old folk like him are ace. But you also get the ones like this bitch ten years ago who I remember zipping infront of me and my mum when we were just joining a queue in ASDA. Cheeky fucking bitch. And there was the woman who expected my sister to give her seat up for another old woman who came on the bus, even though my sister had a violin and two huge bags to carry. My sister rightfully ignored her. And all the other countless number of oldies who think that managing to dodge their coffins makes them more deserving of things than others. It's like with most groups of people: there are nice ones and there are cuntish ones, but it's the cuntish ones that stand out more and hence give the nice ones a bad name. I shall reserve my right to get pissed off with old people who hog up the entire pavement though. That's just plain rude.

You can see their lies coming through their eyes? Don't you mean mouth?

Today's episode wasn't anything like as good, which just goes to show what assets Dave Bishop and Connor are. That Dylan boy is just annoying. When is he going to break down and cry like a big baby to Karl? Anyone else find Jonelle strangely alluring?

Nah, it's still one of the three programmes I base my activities around. Even Neighbours went through a shit patch. But look at it now!

The newest series on Channel 4 (series 12 is it?) I've found to be a bit too far-fetched at times. I always thought the genius of The Simpsons was that it made absudrities out of real life situations. After all, the original premise was that it was an "average" American family, was it not? This most recent series, however, has just been plain stupid at times. There's ridiculous situations like the one where Lisa makes Homer and Bart think they have leprocy, and it ends with them on a paradise island getting needle treatment. There's been far too many times where I've been left thinking "what the fuck is going on?", especially if you miss a bit since it moves along at a really fast pace now. But on the other hand, "help me Jebus" is one of my all time favourite Simpsons moments. But again, that episode's ending was a bit silly.

...and yet old enough to know that if you hit them they can get you done for assault.

We can but pray that he does. The cunts need to be taken down a peg or 750.

I think bullying is also a lot to do with the victim's state of mind... I was a chubby, bespectacled short-arse at school (well, still am), but I never really got bullied, and I think that was a lot to do with the fact that I never let it get to me when folk DID pick on me - I was always able to take the piss back if it was verbal, and I was never shy of throwing a few punches if need be. As for the actual bullies themselves, I would think it's purely a result of an unhappy homelife, and that leads them to try and inflict their perceived power onto others. Or something.

Today's episode has been excellent. I liked the way the lights went out with the fight between Stuart and Frank - kind of like the blindfold match at Wrestlemania 7, except that it wasn't really at all. "Izzy! I hope you've brought three glasses." I don't remember Paul Robinson ever being THIS ace in the old days.

So what you're saying is... Gwen Stefani shits bananans out of her arse? Kinky.

He said "rock n' roll!" a bit too much and some of his scripted jokes on FAQ U were a bit poor, but on the other hand he appears to be a fan of The Cult. Actually Frankie Boyle seemed rather funny.

Brothers???

What DIDN'T happen?! Well basically Connor's brakes failed, he took his "Yute" to the garage and Lou said he was silly for not having brake fluid. But Connor said he'd put some in not long ago. Meanwhile, "someone" in a really bad blonde/yellow wig was in a car "hiding" behind a newspaper (sadly he hadn't cut out eye-holes) and it turned out to be Carmella's bodyguard bloke. Then he got out of the car and was going RIGHT up behind Connor and you're like "OH MY GOD HE'S BEHIND YOU!!!!!!!!" As Dayeth said, BEST cliffhanger EVER.

That was the worst WIG ever.

I got an iPod cos my mate went to Yankland last summer and said he'd bring one back for me if I wanted, so I thought I might as well. The battery life is an absolute pain, but it got better after the first few weeks. I've never gotten anything like 8 hours out of it though. That's the one thing I don't like though. I think the wheel (I've got a 3rd series one) is an excellent input device, and I like the HCI as well. Simple, but effective. The back's scratched to fuck from putting it in my pocket with my key, but I think it adds character. I can totally understand the "everyone has one" argument though - it does make you feel a bit of a sheep. Is that completely legit? Won't Apple say you've invalidated the warranty? And how does it get fitted? Do you send it to them, or is there a way of doing it yourself?

Moby's macaroni pies are absolutely gorgeous. So that's now where I go usually. Although if I'm drunk I'll make do with the old faithful - the Chapel Street baker. Sausage rolls there are good.

Just a bit. Their first album was out in 1987 (a live album!) and they released Nothing's Shocking in 1988 and Ritual de lo Habitual in 1990, then split up in 1991. They did a reunion tour in 1997 (Flea on bass), split up again, got together again in 2001 (with another bassist) and released Strays in 2003 (with ANOTHER bassist). Then they split up about June last year. Which is annoying. Start off with Strays or Nothing's Shocking, as they're the ones with classic riffs. Strays has Just Because (which is on many video jukeboxes, including TKs), True Nature, Wrong Girl and Suffer Some, which are all classic riffage... in fact there's only about 2 less-than-great songs on that album. Nothing's Shocking has Mountain Song, Ocean Size, Pigs In Zen and Had A Dad, which are again all classic riffage. The only tracks I'm not a huge fan of off it are Idiots Rule and Jane Says actually... and those albums have my personal favs To Match The Sun and Summertime Rolls, which are slower, more melodic songs. Ritual de lo Habitual is slightly wanky... it's got some great songs like Stop, Classic Girl, Ain't No Right, and although it's about 10 minutes long, Three Days never gets boring. But some of the other songs are a bit self-indulgent. Definitely not the album to introduce people to them. Really you just have to take the plunge... the only thing about them is that some folk get put off by Perry Farrell's (peripheral, geddit?) voice. As Psydoll said, their albums are cheap in One Up and FOPP.
