    I'm sick of seeing his stupid pasty face, and I'm sick of listening to his mumbling, self-important, junkie pish. The sooner he takes an overdoses and dies, the better.

    well said Elwood. the man's a disgrace, he just gets on however the fuck he wants, knowing rightly his herds of dopey fans will all pay in the hope of him actually turning up. he's in the news too much, the new babyshambles stuff is all mediocre. if carl barat has any sense he'll never reform the libertines, there would be no point. every time doherty gets arrested/doesn't turn up for a gig doesn't it just feel like groundhog day? and now amy wineo is just a female version of him, consigned to spend the next five years making shite, overrated music, and being heralded as a 'tortured genius' etc despite this. too much money, not enough fucking sense. and thats just the fans.

    funniest one i can remember is being on holiday in Holland and staying in a quaint wee B&B. of course during the night my brother gets up, wonders into the owner's (a frail old widow) room, opens her wardrobe and is more than likely about to start urinating before he was awoken by the old lady's screams. luckily she seen the funny side, although i guess if he'd pissed all over her clogs she wouldn't have been too happy.

    that reminds me of whenever i went to amsterdam with a mate a few years ago, we had sum mushies and got completely fucked. went back to the hotel room and we were both lying there trying to sleep in this dark room. the door of the wardrobe randomly swung open and this moth came flying out, and my mate - who is about 20 stone and 5'8 - got up, stark bollock naked and completely freaked out, tried to start swatting the moth. he was so disorientated and was flailing around so manically that he put his elbow through the window and started screaming, all the while still trying to catch the moth, every time i even think about this i piss myself laughing, so funny.

    yeah so anyway, drugs are bad.

    my bird tells me that during the night she gets me woken up by me tossing and turning and shouting 'fuck off! you fucking cunt! just fuck off! cunt! CUNT! FUCKING CUNT!'

    its either sleep tourettes or someone is trying to stab/kill/rape me etc.

    i dont remember it in the morning though or if she wakes me up so i dont really care.

  8. Dublin/Belfast

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Firstly, good choice with Belfast. i'm from there, fucking amazing city.

    The places to go are:

    THE LIMELIGHT - Ormeau Avenue - Rock club, in my opinion the best in the UK, quite small, underground feel, Saturday nights are best but most nights it's open, it's decent. Oasis, Strokes, Blur all played here 'before' they were famous.

    KATY DALY'S - The bar adjoining The Limelight, old school bar, excellant guinness (mais oui), brilliant atmosphere

    THE CROWN - Great Victoria Street - Oldest Bar in Ireland. If you're visiting, you must stop here for a pint of the black stuff.

    AUNTIE ANNIE'S - Dublin Road - bar downstairs, club upstairs. Bar is a bit like Katy Daly's, pretty old school, dead friendly good atmosphere. Upstairs the club is a sweatbox like upstairs at O'Neills in Aberdeen, open 7 nights a week, playing all sorts of eclectic treats.

    FRONT PAGE - another small sweatbox venue, good food, quality music, again 7 nights a week.

    In terms of tourism, get a black cab tour round Belfast, it'll take you round all the 'sights' (if you can call them that), the murals, Stormont, the Shankhill, Falls, etc.

    Also check what's on while you're there, the main venues are The Limelight, Spring and Airbrake, Ulster Hall, Queens University Union, Waterfront Hall and the 15,000 capacity Odyssey Arena, which is also host to loads of bars, clubs, bowling alley and a 12 screen Warner Village cinema.

    I'm not overly sure on Dublin, all I can advise is go to the Temple Bar area. You will have a good night. Period.

    At least the seagull is fending for itself' date=' unlike the parasites that live off the state, and there are far more of those in Aberdeen than there are seagulls.[/quote']

    Yeah, all those seagulls loitering about in the dole queue smoking and reading the Daily Sport was really starting to piss me off.....

  12. T In The Park 2006

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I went to oxegen, pretty much the Irish t-in the park:

    I saw:

    Saturday:

    The Spinto Band - absolutely fucking amazing, if you haven't heard anything by these lads yet, get on to it, incredible, will be huge

    Jon Carter - standard house

    Delays - hohum

    Hard-Fi - their set was fucked up by wind problems and problems with their kit - plus lead singer got caught miming the melodica at start of 'Cash Machine' - it was a backing tape that played in reverse by mistake - he went mental!

    Arctic Monkeys - quality, lead singer wasnt a complete bellend either

    The Strokes - always awesome

    The Go! Team - not bad

    Felix Da Housecat - banging

    Sunday:

    Wolfmother - ROCKED the motherfucker

    Maximo Park - brilliant, third time I've seen them and they just get better and better

    Vitalic - Electro, pretty good

    The Kooks - pretty boring tbh, too many c**ts there to hear 'Naive' too

    iForward Russia! - awesome, although set was cut short by 20 mins coz the drummer collapsed i!

    Bedouin Soundclash - nice bit of pop reggae

    Chili's - Pretty good, but Kieldis doesnt seem to give a fuck anymore, and didn't play enough old stuff for my liking.

    Awesome festival, roll on 2007!

    Who else loves this fucking awesome program? I just bought the series on DVD, and remembered just how amazing it is. Groundbreaking comedy in every single way; it predicts the curse of the docu-soap about 4 years before it actually happened, it satirises the living shit out of everything that's wrong with modern media; even the theme tune, the graphics and the way in which it's presented mirror modern news presentation ten years in advance.

    It's gotta be the most quotable program ever:

    "You've lost the news!"

    "Is this cool?"

    "Headmaster suspended for using big-faced child as satellite dish"

    "Child with fist-shaped head destroys central Portsmouth"

    So many more!

  18. panic! at the disco - ACTUAL ASSHOLES

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    I hate hearing stories like this. The fans are the people that make these bands, fucking FACT. Without them buying their records, going to their gigs, telling anyone who'll listen how great their music is, they wouldn't be shit. So whenever you turn your back on a bunch of young fans, for whatever the reason, you're letting them down and you're letting yourself down as a professional artist. But aside from that, I wouldn't worry. PATD are just another in the long line of trendy emo bands who are big at the minute. Give it three years (max) and they'll be back brushing the 'sidewalks', sweeping their dangling, jet-black, assymetrical fringes out of their eyes in the boiling midday sun.

  20. Ebay Ticket Touts

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    What about those boards where you can exchange tickets at face value? Would save unused tickets going to waste whilst undermining the touts.

    Easier said than done. How do you ensure they get exchaged at face value? Plus, to be totally honest, anybody who has a spare ticket for a gig and won't go would obviously like to make a few extra quid from the ticket. A board where you can exchange tickets at face value would only be appealing to those who didn't know any better or who were extremely moral and didn't fancy a few extra bucks. Many of them out there? Doubt it.

    Unfortunately it seems Glastonbury's idea last year, as controlled as it is seems the closest thing to sense; two tickets per person, and for festivals, a photograph of youself on them. Fair enough, it's a bit much, but it's now what needs to be done to prevent these cunts from making shit loads out of the genuine music lovers out there. Ebay genuinely needs to stop this - or even put a 'cap' on how much a ticket can be sold on for; no more than an extra 10% on the ticket value for example. I saw an auction for 2 T In the Park tickets for 600 the other day? I mean for fuck's sake, I'd find it pretty damn hard to enjoy a festival if that had come out of my pocket.

  22. Ebay Ticket Touts

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    Over the last few years, Ebay has enabled fans to sell unwanted/extra tickets to sold-out gigs to fans in need of tickets. After T In The Park sold out in under an hour, Oxegen in under 10 hours (compared with last years 12 weeks) and Reading/Leeds in under two hours, it's now becoming virtually impossible for many fans to get their hands on a ticket if they aren't on the ball. People who are buying tickets and then selling them on on Ebay to other people is quickly beginning to ruin the chance to go to many gigs for lots of true fans, and creating financial opportunities for other people to make a quick buck. Apparantly after Morrissey's London gig sold out, within an hour there were 241 separate auctions on Ebay for tickets. If things continue to go this way, soon the only way to get tickets to many gigs will be by buying them off some opportunist on ebay for a vastly inflated price.

    So with all that in mind - what's your opinion, and what should be done to stop the touts?

    Mike :)

  23. Its things like this that put Aberdeen on the map...

    Thats fucking outrageous. The emergency services are here to protect us as people and as a society and some half-witted little cuntsack throws a rock at them. I've heard of this happening before and its completely beyond me as to why even a member of the benefit-claiming burberry brigade would want to do this; if you attack them you're essentially attacking yourself.

    FUCK SCUM

  24. Can I do anything about my annoying neighbours?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    JJ perhaps with the suggestion there that I'm surprised noone else has mentioned yet - DON'T acknowledge their presence under any circumstances. As soon as you start ignoring them and they realise this, they'll give up pretty sharpish. The only reason they'll do it is because you react. Don't give any reaction, and eventually they'll ask themselves 'what the fuck are we doing' and probably go and find some other way to generally drag our society (even further) down.....:)
