offramp

A fiver well spent, kudos to the IMP guys for another great show.

I'd never seen any of these bands before so went in with a pretty open mind.

I didn't think I'd like Kill Baby Kill for some reason. Maybe I've heard some mp3's in the past or something, but they impressed me more live than through my headphones. I did like the poppier numbers as opposed to the shouty numbers though. Would go back and see again.

PVH were something of a mystery to me. Musicianship was most excellent (no Bill and Ted jokes aright) but I didn't quite get the vocal performance. Take nothing away from the performance, but it just wasn't my thing overall.

Wasn't sure what to expect from BNBC. Read some good reviews and read some indifferent reviews, but was tempted enough to come along based on IMP gig history and Domino approval. The songs were breakneck, but I like. Frontman was instantly likeable and the band were pretty damn tight. Enough to make me buy the album and was most impressed with the drummer giving me a free badge. Cheers min.

I'll guess Radiohead and The Who.

Next.

2 x Strokes tix for Glasgow Carling Academy - Tuesday 7th February

I can't go now.

Face value was 23 each plus 7 booking so I'm looking for 50 for the pair to cover my outlay.

If they don't go on here, I'll wack them on ebay or summat.

Great game.

We were shite first half though, really bad. Comedy error from Stillie to let us back in then a rip roaring 15 mins of pure delight.

I'm happy.

Inspired by Mr Boo's best decade question' date=' this struck me.

Every decade's had it's definitive artists, Elvis, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bowie, The Sex Pistols, Guns and Roses, Nirvana. No doubt[/quote']

I agree with your last example, No doubt.

Without a doubt.

I'd recommend some Fence Collective stuff. Start with King Creosote.

Good. Stuff.

Anyone got any official confirmation of this as I've just bought tickets from seetickets website???

Tickets bought.

Bollocks, I didn't know about this one. Seen Stellastarr a couple of times now, first time was supporting Jane's Addiction, blew me away. Great band.

5. Girls Aloud-No Good Advice

Oh come on now!

Love Machine is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Had some problems lately and looking for some recommendations for a good anti-virus programme. Any suggestions peeps? Ta.

That was a great gig, but I agree with the chatting. I was sitting behind the desk for the first two acts, but moved forward for KC after getting pissed off with folk nattering next to me.

Was disappointed Jose had no music to sell, as I most definately would have made a purchase there. His covers were amazing.

First time seeing KC, and thought he was tremendous, better than I anticipated. Which was nice.

Two newly recorded songs by The Aliens

That's the one.

Cheers min.

Can anyone tell me what this instrument is called again? I've gone blank. Patton used to use it on Midnight Cowboy. Cheers.

If I was a religious person I'd go to church and light four candles.

Farewell Ronnie.

In a hardware shop. Ronnie Corbett is behind the counter, wearing a warehouse jacket. He has just finished serving a customer.

CORBETT (muttering): There you are. Mind how you go.

(Ronnie Barker enters the shop, wearing a scruffy tank-top and beanie)

BARKER: Four Candles!

CORBETT: Four Candles?

BARKER: Four Candles.

(Ronnie Corbett makes for a box, and gets out four candles. He places them on the counter)

BARKER: No, four candles!

CORBETT (confused): Well there you are, four candles!

BARKER: No, fork 'andles! 'Andles for forks!

(Ronnie Corbett puts the candles away, and goes to get a fork handle. He places it onto the counter)CORBETT (muttering): Fork handles. Thought you said 'four candles!' (more clearly) Next?

BARKER: Got any plugs?

CORBETT: Plugs. What kind of plugs?

BARKER: A rubber one, bathroom.

(Ronnie Corbett gets out a box of bath plugs, and places it on the counter)

CORBETT (pulling out two different sized plugs): What size?

BARKER: Thirteen amp!

CORBETT (muttering): It's electric bathroom plugs, we call them, in the trade. Electric bathroom plugs!

(He puts the box away, gets out another box, and places on the counter an electric plug, then puts the box away)

BARKER: Saw tips!

CORBETT: Saw tips? (he doesn't know what he means) What d'you want? Ointment, or something like that?

BARKER: No, saw tips for covering saws.

CORBETT: Oh, haven't got any, haven't got any. (he mutters) Comin' in, but we haven' got any. Next?

BARKER: 'O's!

CORBETT: 'O's?

BARKER: 'O's.

(He goes to get a hoe, and places it on the counter)

BARKER: No, 'O's!

CORBETT: 'O's! I thought you said 'O! (he takes the hose back, and gets a hose, whilst muttering) When you said 'O's, I thought you said 'O! 'O's!

(He places the hose onto the counter)

BARKER: No, 'O's!

CORBETT (confused for a moment): O's? Oh, you mean panty 'o's, panty 'o's! (he picks up a pair of tights from beside him)

BARKER: No, no, 'O's! 'O's for the gate. Mon repose! 'O's! Letter O's!

CORBETT (finally realising): Letter O's! (muttering) You had me going there!

(He climbs up a stepladder, gets a box down, puts the ladder away, and takes the box to the counter, and searches through it for letter O's)

CORBETT: How many d'you want?

BARKER: Two.

(Ronnie Corbett leaves two letter O's on the counter, then takes the box back, gets the ladder out again, puts the box away, climbs down the ladder, and puts the ladder away, then returns to the counter)

CORBETT: Yes, next?

BARKER: Got any P's?

CORBETT (fed up): For Gawd' sake, why didn' you bleedin' tell me that while I was up there then? I'm up and down the shop already, it's up and down the bleedin' shop all the time. (He gets the ladder out, climbs up and gets the box of letters down, then puts the ladder away) Honestly, I've got all this shop, I ain't got any help, it's worth it we plan things. (He puts the box on the counter, and gets out some letter P's) How many d'you want?

BARKER: No! Tins of peas. Three tins of peas!

CORBETT: You're 'avin' me on, ain't ya, yer 'avin' me on?

BARKER: I'm not!

(Ronnie Corbett dumps the box under the counter, and gets three tins of peas)

CORBETT (placing the tins on the counter): Next?

BARKER: Got any pumps?

CORBETT (getting really fed up): 'And pumps, foot pumps? Come on!

BARKER (surprised he has to ask): Foot pumps!

CORBETT (muttering, as he goes down the shop): Foot pumps. See a foot pump? (He sees one, and picks it up) Tidy up in 'ere.

(He puts the pump down on the counter)

BARKER: No, pumps fer ya feet! Brown pump, size nine!

CORBETT (almost at breaking point): You are 'avin' me on, you are definitely 'avin' me on!

BARKER (not taking much notice of Corbett's mood): I'm not!

CORBETT: You are 'avin' me on! (He takes back the pump, and gets a pair of brown foot pumps out of a drawer, and places them on the counter) Next?

BARKER: Washers!

CORBETT (really close to breaking point): What, dishwashers, floor washers, car washers, windscreen washers, back scrubbers, lavatory cleaners? Floor washers?

BARKER: 'Alf inch washers!

CORBETT: Oh, tap washers, tap washers? (He finally breaks, and makes to confiscate his list) Look, I've had just about enough of this, give us that list. (He mutters) I'll get it all myself! (Reading through the list) What's this? What's that? Oh that does it! That just about does it! I have just about had it! (calling through to the back) Mr. Jones! You come out and serve this customer please, I have just about had enough of 'im. (Mr. Jones comes out, and Ronnie Corbett shows him the list) Look what 'e's got on there! Look what 'e's got on there!

JONES (who goes to a drawer with a towel hanging out of it, and opens it): Right! How many would ya like? One or two?

(He removes the towel to reveal the label on the drawer - 'Bill hooks'!)

I'm assuming there's an Aberdeen in the U.S. near N.Y., and this guy's a bit confused?

Tears tickets arrived today.

Anyone else read on the back that the tickets do not actually guarantee admission, as they allocate more than capacity in order to get a full house when folk don't turn up.

Looks like its best to arrive early.

I grew up in Elgin, never heard of that place though....interesting.

What about the place on South St that's now the bingo, beside the Lido? Was that ever a venue?
