And smack.

I managed to avoid the result, downloaded it this morning. Good fechtin.

Do I win the thread?

I didn't watch football at all until I was like maybe 20. I just wasn't in to it. My dad doesn't watch football, my granda didn't, I don't have any brothers, any uncles that I saw very often, no male cousins so I didn't "inherit" a team and had no-one to introduce me to football. I just supported whoever my schoolfriends told me to. I wore the jerseys and everything because everyone else did but I never ever watched a match and didn't really know any of the players or anything. When I first started school in 1984 everybody was huge in to Aberdeen on the back of Gothenburg so I supported Aberdeen for a couple years, then I changed to Celtic for a few years, for reasons I can't remember. Then I moved school and I didn't know anyone, I started hanging about with a few Rangers fans so I switched from Celtic to Rangers, probably just to fit in. I remember owning a Rangers shirt and tracksuit and a Celtic shirt and tracksuit at the same time. Weird. I supported Rangers until I was in my early 20s, before deciding their fans were shitbags and switched allegiance to Aberdeen. I think that's me picked my team now.

The puns mostly happen on Facebook these days. https://www.facebook.com/groups/738175009709861/

The Irish one was Piwo, then Aberdeen Uni Student Union, then something University Grill. Campus? Then the Irish bar. And probably a few things in between.

I always get those two mixed up. Six Degrees is the old Estaminet is it?

I spent a night drinking that crap in Cheers in the Broch when I was about 16 (1996) while also smoking Hamlets. Puked all over my shoes at the end of the night, ruined a lovely pair of suede moccasins. Bad news.

That I turn reminded me of this gem when an unscrupulous bar owner in Aberdeen claimed he'd booked Shane McGowan to play in what is now Six Degrees North. If I remember the story correctly the bar was going under, he made the whole thing up to fill the bar for one night then legged it with the takings.

My favourite bit of that shitshow was when Sparkles uploaded a photo of herself* (probably not) and people immediately responded calling her fat. It also reminded me that Biz existed, the original Aberdeen Music village idiot.

Fuck me. What a train wreck of a thread. How the fuck did that get to 16 pages?

I did an almost identical thing with Dos Dedos. We had a gig at Kef, we went to soundcheck then we had a few hours to kill before we were due onstage, me and Marcus went back to my flat under strict instruction from Chris not to get drunk, and proceeded to get absolutely cunted on vodka and Irn Bru (the last time I ever drank vodka and Irn Bru by the way ). We rolled up to Kef late as fuck, steaming, Chris understandably was freaking out and furious. We walked in the door straight on to the stage. Predictably the gig was an absolute shambles, nobody was paying any attention and I took great offence, called the audience cunts, launched my bass off the stage at the end and quit the band there and then. Rock n roll! What a fanny. Broke my bass too.

A year on I'm still waiting for this album to grow on me. I think it might just be a really well-polished turd.

I actually went to the bother of writing out a reply to you explaining my original post, but I then I remembered that trying to have a sensible conversation with you is about as worthwhile an endeavour as eating soup with a fork, so I didn't bother posting it. Biz-R. is my hip hop name.

Yeah post it. I'm sure Benson's rap career has been discussed on here. Was the song all about weed?

Cool, OK, thanks for the contribution.

Which part of it is bizarre?

Escape To Victory as well, fuck they were excellent.

Point of Origin, I wasn't keen on them when they were skate punk but once they found their niche they were absolutely excellent. Really catchy songs, gorgeous harmonies, smart lyrics. Bob Knight is a bit of a Marmite character but there aren't many better songwriters in Aberdeen. Radio Song is still an absolute beaut.

I have a pair of camo shorts which I love and I've never been in a metal band. Camo shorts are for everybody man.
