Well at least you're surprised

with the thanks ants' date=' THANTS! nonsense.[/quote']
Yay, sounds weird... on terrestrial tv?

Tell me I'm not strange for finding this so amusing

Ahh, Piney in a Jar is a great picture. She has an excellent dress sense there. Although its quite obvious that she's not actually in the jar
-
and then use ie6
Why would you want to do that? ie6 is very unsafe, unlike a better browser like Mozilla Firefox

More a case of what's right with AOL.
Unlimited download rates and for quite a small price. If I were to point out it's bad points, however, I would have some difficulty. It's very flexible.

Thaty's probably the best thing to happen to the charts for a long time. Elvis at number one and the Manics at number two. Two of my all time favourites.
All the Elvis doubters can only but look at the facts' date=' he's long dead and still topping the charts. When private-schooled whining filth like Keane and Coldplay and the baggy-trousered Topman rock of the Lost Prophets are kept off the top by Elvis Presley, when he's lying dead and buried in his velvet-lined coffin, content in the knowledge that he not only created Rock and Roll music but the whole image of Rock and Roll aswell...life is good.
Next to Frank Sinatra, Elvis was the best thing to happen to music ever. He came to save us all from Glenn Miller. You wouldn't have your synchronised guitar-jumps and on-stage "rocking-out" if Elvis hadn't had the balls to shake things up. No-one seems to realise how controversial Rock and Roll was in it's time, far more earth-shattering than the Pistols on Bill Grundy or Marilyn Manson's mini-Nuremberg shows. That's why he's still relevant.
And so what if he got fat towards the end of his life, he did more for the development of music than anyone I can think of, so he can eat a Bengali Tiger every day if he wants too, it doesn't make a difference.
John Lennon said something along the lines of "Before Elvis there was nothing", which was wrong there was Sinatra, but in respect to modern guitar music there wasn't.[/quote']
That would like to appreciate the sharp wit but it's completely irrelevant. The Manic Street Preachers perhaps deserve this but Elvis' record company certianly doesn't. What you've responded with there is some sort of pleading sentimental drivel.

I don't think Elvis would give less of a shit really, what with the state of our charts... Eamon and the likes profaning out television sets and 7 o'clock. The fact of the matter here is that Elvis' record company is still profiting from his music. They don't deserve it. Maybe I haven't researched this much, but surely this whole "Elvis is King" thing is just a ploy to sell more records. Why not buy another record? It would keep current artists who can actually MAKE music in the business.
-
No... but it is good nontheless, like discordant sounds can be when accompanied to reasonable music
-
That was the impression I was under heh... people are just aching to knock over children and claim it's their fault they died because they were weaklings
-
Too bad almost half of those songs are songs I listen to on a regular basis... in fact it's not too bad... what do I care about the list
-
Belle and Sebastian would be my number one. I'm dubious about the list though.
-
Do Philosophy... it's the only subject I ever got close to enjoying
-
Because they are "outrageous"...
I do like their singles. The album is appalling though

fave bit from blackadder goes forth episode "private plane".....
Melchett: Now' date=' George. Do you remember when I came down to visit you
when you were a nipper for your sixth birthday? You used to
have a lovely little rabbit. Beautiful little thing. Do you
remember?
George: Flossy.
Melchett: That's right. Flossy. Do you remember what happened to
Flossy?
George: You shot him.
Melchett: That's right. It was the kindest thing to do after he'd been
run over by that car.
George: By your car, Sir.
Melchett: Yes, by my car. But that too was an act of mercy when you
would remember that that dog had been set on him.
George: Your dog, Sir.
Melchett: Yes, yes, my dog. But what I'm trying to say, George, is
that the state young Flossy was in after we'd scraped him off
my front tyre is very much the state that young Blackadder
will be in now. If not very nearly dead, then very actually
dead.[/quote']
Best quote so far!

Just was watching channel 4 news' date=' and here is a snippet for you all:
'Scientists have today confirmed that 82% of the universe is made from dark mysterious matter which we cannot see.'

the annual wank fest that is the brits is hardly even worth discussing nowadays' date=' however will young being nominated for an award for best single of the last 25 years is worth debating, someone's having a laugh right? i mean i agree with dave officer, you can argue a case for robbie williams angels, that record has stood the test of time pish as it is. who the hell comes up with these lists? i would suggest simon cowell but if that was the case there's no way joy division would be in there. nice to see moz getting a nomination but there's no way he'll win! and who gives a flying shite anyway?[/quote']
Not Morrissey anyway... who here actually likes that song Angels?
