Make sure it doesn't clash with the T in the Park weekend, though.

I've been waiting to use this phrase for a while but....PWND!

(Thats how you spell it' date=' right? P-W-N-D?)[/quote']

I thought it had an apostrophe. Like..."PWN'D!". But maybe I just made that up.

You're cool enough anyway, Richard.

u got nufin better to do with ur time?

I don't know, maybe he could use his time more effectively teaching you how to spell?

Bebo is the poor man's Myspace.

Quel dommage, "Mithen" wasn't on their database either.

I don't know anyone else with the surname "Mithen" other than my family, though. Surprisingly.

Sounds bizarre.

I can't be bothered reading all these really long replies, but what REALLY annoys me is how most users on this site think that any controversial opinions are merely posted to provoke a reaction from other people.

Not everyone is this sad. And yes, I'm sure some people WOULD say the same thing to you in person, so please can everyone stop thinking that anyone with genuine extreme views is merely a cowardly "rEbeL" for posting it on the internet. Maybe if you gave them your address, they could go and say it to your face?

I'd go, I think they're really good.

Oh oh, I've been there. I can't really remember names of places though. Went to some museums and the opera. Yeah. Sorry, not really much help. But it's a beautiful city. And the food is great.

i still am struggling to find a lift' date=' might end up paying 30-40 for a taxi... there is no way in fuck i am missing this though! last time i was in amazement whe whole night. i have offered to pay entry, petrol, and buy food if one of my friends who can drive come... we'll see[/quote']

if you pay me 10, I'll give you a lift home afterwards. I can drive through Ellon on my way home.

To celebrate the end of school forever, me and eight of my friends are going to live in a cottage on the West coast of Scotland for a week. Then I have TitP and then my best friend and I are going inter-railing around France sometime in late Summer, such as end of August, before we head our separate ways to uni.

Oh my, I really can't wait.

Camie's house.

HAHAHAHA.

I like cranberry juice best.

Keira and I bumped into Jack in the Moorings one day last week.

I never knew the Hex Pens had reformed?!

How did you get 7?! I only got 5.

I don't understand, where's the trick?!

Oh, it was at Lava...some band called Kenesia, or something. I went with my friend. It must have been...2002. I can't remember. I was terrified.

Um...

Biffy Clyro - Moshulu (the most recent one - 2005 sometime?)

Major Matt Mason USA - The Tunnels (2005? 2004?)

Thomas Truax - The Tunnels (2004/5)

Believe me, if I was having a conversation with you in a bar, unlikely though that would be, I would most definitely reiterate everything I've posted on here to your face.

I'm not one of those aberdeen-music.com people who purposefully say things to provoke a reaction. I honestly said what I thought. AGAIN, sorry if this causes offence to people. I wasn't directly having a go at you, because I know tonnes of posters have the same opinions as you.

No, I just knew everyone would IMMEDIATELY leap up and try and stab me.

I wasn't having a go at metal fans, because I know everyone hates everyone else's preferred genre of music, but I was stating my opinion that I'm not a fan of metal because it rarely has a pleasing melody to MY ears.

So please, sorry if anyone took offence.

I like PGMG a lot a lot.

The King of What (or Where)

...but seriously' date=' the King had something new to offer at that time and had genuine presence, I contend that all these acts are insipid and deriviate - I do admit Mr Young has exceptional vocal ability, but has very little real credibility - because he took a shortcut.

With regards to the other post....

It's a free country and everyone has their own equally valid opinion, but this is a [b']music site and these acts IMHO are Product

I guess my problem with game-show derived and chart acts of the 90's/00's are: -

• The British media's lack of discrimination between art & marketability and the British public's misguided (and seeemingly voracious) appetite for mediocrity
  
• That the "music" is inconsequential, the whole thing is a clothing, cosmetics and accessories sales drive. My daughter has severely dented my bank balance as a result!!!!
  
• That none of the girls are sexy or elegant - frankly, they look like slags & lapdancers, not real women (believe me, when you get to my age, you'll be suprised at how repulsive they look to you - and I'm not that old)
  
• That none of them want to be GOOD - they just want to be FAMOUS, therefore the "art" doesn't matter and their loyal fans (who throw 's at them) are short-changed.
  

And finally, hard work? - gie's peace!!

Getting up out of bed to to a job you hate to put food on the table is real hard work - not everyone has the media-friendly looks required to "make-it" or the other opportunites to be whatever passes as a success these days and get the huge rewards.

Slogging through the club circuit to get people to listen to your music - and drawing a blank coz you don't fit the media profile is also hard work.

DZL

Ps - Don't take me too seriously, I'm always up for a good debate. I've nothing against Will Young, but I do despise all the other frauds.

Oh, you sound like such an utter cock.

It's still music, not PRODUCT!!22!!!1 or whatever you're claiming. Will Young, Girls Aloud, etc. might not write the music, but they still sing it, don't they?

Since when was music all about the song-writing, anyway? So you're telling me that you'd genuinely applaud some miserable looking, balding man singing "Love Machine" with his terrible, out-of-tune voice, purely because he WROTE it?

Have a good voice is as much of a talent as being able to write a good song, so please just be quiet.

Generally, I like happy songs with a good melody, and it helps if the lyrics are well thought out as well.

I don't really see the point of thrash/grind/xxxxxxxcore music, or whatever, because...it doesn't really have much of a tune. It's just usually some unattractive man screaming something you can't even make out anyway.

Lynched.

April Fools' jokes are for rubbish people.

I'm going to a party tonight, but isn't there some kind of rule that if you play a joke after noon, then you automatically die, or something?

That's good.

"One Fine Day In The Middle Of The Night" by Christopher Brookmyre and "Pitié Pour Les Femmes" by Henry de Montherlant.

Going out tonight, and then going to a party on Saturday night.

I need to do some work too, though. I might do some exercise today.

WHO KNOWS.
