  1. I've got to make myself one of them.
  2. Mission Impossible. I can never follow the plot of that, but im told its quite simple.
  3. I've had a bad day at work. This makes me feel better - I want more weapons though
  4. I would be very excited if this happened.
  5. Never released in the USA, but has been in Europe. snopes has a good article on it here :http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/sots.htm Quite a good urban myths site, some interesting reading.
  6. Mary had a little lamb, It's fleece was white as snow. She humped the shepard late one night, Then gave the lamb a go.
  7. Holy shit! It's 40,000 years overdue and the ground is rising at the rate of 1cm a year, that's surely a bad sign. Funny all the similar threads below are about T in the Park
  8. I think pubs should have the option to be a smoking pub, maybe make it licenced, so a bar has to have a smoking licence before you can smoke in there. This way your family pubs, chain pubs and restaurants would probably be all non-smoking, and your old-man pubs and gigging bars could still be smoking if they wanted to. It's not ideal, but at least there is an option to go to a non-smoking bar if you don't like smoke, leaving the rest of us to kill ourselves slowly in peace
  9. I'm not in a band, but this is me, as I am, right now. Except my trainers are white.
  10. Go into places and ask, barstaff are always needed somewhere in town. Might be a bit tricky though because several thousand students are out looking for summer jobs at the moment. Jobcentre is a good bet. EE on a Wednesday (Same listing as thisisnorthscotland.com), P&J on a Friday and Independent whenever it lands on your mat.
  11. I'm sorry to hear there wasn't a bigger crowd, especially sorry for Steve. He's a good bloke and helped us out a bit when I was in bands at school, I know he put a lot of effort into this. It's odd that all the youngsters in Keith complain that there is never anything to do, then a great gig comes up and they don't go. The fact is that this gig had to reach out further than Keith to get any decent crowd. I mean there are only 5,000 people in the town, and I'm damn sure my Grannie didn't go ( Domimic Kirwan would have got her there!). What I'm getting at is there are probably less than 1,000 people in Keith that this gig appealed to, so where was the rest of the expected crowd coming from? The only advertising of the gig I've seen in Aberdeen has been for the past week at the top of this site. Not everyone in Aberdeen visits this site. Does anyone know how many tickets One-up sold for KCL? I bet it wasn't many. I know there are some actual Bluetones fans in Aberdeen (my neighbour is one of them) did they go to KCL? probably not, cos they were in Moshulu the next night. I know this helped cover the costs, but maybe a few more people would have travelled. Other main sources of people would be 15-25 year-olds from Elgin, Buckie, Huntly and maybe even Banff. Did these potential punters know about the gig in the first place? The main issues these people would worry about is getting home and getting a kicking fae the dungers. The 2nd one isn't usually an issue unless you've pulled his wife/sister/tractor, but were there busses put on to bring these people in and out, cos I wouldn't fancy trying to get a taxi to Banff and 1am on a busy Saturday in Keith. It can be bad enough trying to get one to the GA. I agree they this gig started off too big. The running costs of being outdoors in a unfenced field must have been horrendous. For the same costs there could have been a series of Saturday night shows in the Royal hall (great HUBL venue!) or upstairs in the Comm with the same local acts as KCL, maybe even building up to some of the bigger names on the bill in the Longmore hall. crowds maybe wouldn't have been massive, but it would probly make money. Oh, and one final rant:- Keith Chaos??? What a gay name! It's something my Granda would come up with. Even worse than the Aberdeen City slogans ("Aberdeen, the town to be seen!") people with far too much time have been writing in to the Evening Express with. (Big thumbs down to Aberdeen Journals too for not covering KCL ) I'm sorry this is a really negative post, I really don't want to down anyone who worked on this project, because I know you have put so much time and effort into it. Anyway, all the best to those involved. Please don't give up.
  12. Still a fine album in my opinion' date=' if they are going to be influenced by anyone then Gang of Four and XTC is not a bad place to start. If it's not your bag then fair enough, but if we start picking off every new group who have drawn strong influences from 70s/80s/90s bands then we won't be left with much. It's definitely a better album than the Bravery/Kaiser/Others efforts from the same NMEite stable. I'm listening to it now:- [i']This is a brand new problem...
  13. Ace! other people actually like Rilo Kiley - my mates have been giving me shit for listening to them. I think 'twas released on 31 January so qualifies for this thread My ones in no particlar order: Bloc Party - Silent Alarm Arcade Fire - Funeral Ambulance LTD - Ambulance LTD Duke Spirit - Cuts Across the Land RIlo Kiley - More Adventurous Wedding Present - Take Fountain Emiliana Torrini - Fishermans Woman And a heap more I'll probably add later... These are quite new but enjoying them at the moment: Magic Numbers - Magic Numbers Sons & Daughters - Repulsion Box Departure - Dirty Words Honorable Mention: Interpol - Antics (Came out in September' date=' but only bought it in Jan) Ordinary boys - Brassbound (Out today, but (brass)bound to be good ) Futureheads - Futureheads (well it was [i']re -released this year...)
  14. It's not as easy as that, apparently bringing over a new batch of tyres would have broken 5 FIA directives meaning no points and fines for teams doing so. Even if that was overcome the teams would be using tyres totally untested by them, so it would be impossible to predict wear and handling, drivers would not be able to push it at all. Shitting in the dark really.
  15. If you become a supporter you get to use the lounge forum, always great banter in there...
  16. First 33 episodes on region 1 DVD, released in August http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0009IW8AI/qid%3D1118491164/sr%3D8-1/ref%3Dsr%5F8%5Fxs%5Fap%5Fi1%5Fxgl/103-1743578-1679042
  17. Only 3 teams might be racing because of safety fears with michelin tyres, going to be even more boring than normal... http://www.itv-f1.com/News_Article.aspx?PO_ID=33184 US GP SET FOR TEAM BOYCOTT Last Updated: Sunday, 19, June, 2005, 18:36 Click to enlarge Indianapolis is in a state of confusion with half an hour remaining before the start of the United States Grand Prix. The Gang of Nine teams all bar Ferrari have agreed that they will not go to the grid unless a chicane is constructed on the approach to the critical turn 13. It appears to be a little unclear as to whether we go racing or not, David Coulthard told ITVs Louise Goodman. The Michelin position is that we cant race without a chicane. The FIA has refused to build a chicane, but Minardis Paul Stoddart suggested that whether a chicane is installed is actually down to the circuit. Its not up to the FIA to provide a chicane, said Stoddart. The teams are preparing as normal, but the Michelin teams will pull out of the race immediately if a chicane is not installed. Ferrari did not participate in the teams meeting and the team is trying to stay out of the controversy. Ferrari is just preparing for the race, said spokesman Luca Colajanni. Thats it. Nothing more.
  18. I used to have a massive crush on her, but then I fancy any girl with a guitar and/or breasts. Edit: I've just realised she has the same surname as my username too! wowee! CDs I have but should be embarresed about would include Phil Collins, Moby, INXS and Roxette.
