Question; If you were to loose your sight, what single thing would you miss the most?

Not being able to see my family/friends.

I presume tickets will be available on the door?

Sam is one of those people, or at least he comes across like that on here

Coming from the person who was lecturing me on the SSP?

I don't have a problem with you having said it, do you?

I have problems with people faux-quoting to make a point though.

Quit it, will you?

I can't help being a wanker with a big mouth.

And since when were my personal opinions the mantra of the left?

Well they all look like 'scenies' as far as i'm concerned

Which doesn't say much really.

I'm sure MART will be able to point me out next time, he knows me from waaaaaaaaaaay back.

Good for him?

Me and the missus were walking home and she said: "there's Sam Beaton" and i said "christ!! What an arrogant little fucker, and no shit he's actually talking to Martin and that lot, haha"

Well i'd rather talk to a 'scene lot' than someone like your fine self. And next time I see you i'll judge you on your friends as well.

I happened to catch a snippet of the conversation, and "that's gay" was the main part. No lies, just plain fact. You might've been using it in some sort of bizarre parody or something, who knows/cares, but you still said it.

Sheridan would be proud of this story. Elephant never forgets?

And i'd rather you didn't bid me a friendly good day, you're not the sort of person i want to be seen associating with to be honest

I couldn't really give a fuck who you want to be 'scene' with or not. 'scene with' get it, eh? eh? Now THATS a joke.

A Sun Came - Sufjan Stevens

The Avalanche - Sufjan Stevens

Writer's Block - Peter, Bjorn and John

Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain - Sparklehorse

That wasn't meant as a threat by the way. I was meaning that i wasn't joking about having heard you.

With me 'scene people' eh? Oh please.

Next time you apparently 'overhear' scandal make sure you identify yourself so I can bid you a friendly good day.

It's not very socialist to call things "gay", is it?

And its not exactly Kosher to be joking about being homophobic is it?

But i'm sure he'd find it hilarious to be a Nazi eh? As long as he's just 'joking'.

I'm not joking young man.

Oh i'm quaking in my wee space boots.

scenie chums

Oh right

last week i heard you say "that's gay" in reference to something being rubbish

Yeah i'm sure you did o_O

That's the whole point chumly - YOU DON'T KNOW ME

You think i'd want to?

The post is real, that bit's a joke.

a) I doubt it was a joke knowing you.

b) It was about as funny as getting kicked in the balls.

why would a homophobe

Well thats nice

If you want to go... buy a ticket... if not then don't

I think I understood the logic.

. I think Scotland (along with Northern Ireland and Wales), get a raw deal in British politics, which has become a consequence of being controlled by a Government who has it's interests firmly in it's own soil

If that is the case, then why does Scotland have more MPs per constituents than England? Similarly, we have the advantage of having a parliament which lets us have a hell of a lot of freedoms, much more then say the likes of people in the North of England.

We also have to remember the amount of funding that Scotland has got in the past from Westminster...its not that bad a deal.

but i was scared he might have had problems with his legs or something and he just couldn't stand still through a disease or affliction

:laughing:

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

The independance question is a difficult one, especially for socialists I think. Both the SSP and Solidarity call openly for the formation of an independant socialist Scotland, yet there are large numbers within such organisations that are against this.

We have to realise, like any ethnic group or state, that Scotland has a right to self determination, just like Palestine, Chechnya, Quebec etc. However, understanding their right to this doesn't necessarily mean that it is a wise move to put into practice. By making an independant Scottish state we alienate the workers down south who we have a lot in common with, through trade union links, strieks, similar goals etc. Time and precious money for an independant capitalist Scotland would be spent on a separate Scottish army, renegotiation into the EU and NATO, and suchlike. An indepenndant socialist Scotland would either be a short-term success but end up a collosal failure (socialism in one country is entirely a manufacture of Stalininsm), or a failure from the start which cries out for capitalist neo-imperialist countries to invade it and reclaim it.

Don't get me wrong, I would'nt shed a tear for the breakup of the British State, but some thing need to be taken into consideration!

All that and Braveheart re-runs. Don't laugh, there would be.

I feel sorry for everyone having to sit through the Kooks!

Larrikin Love pulling out must have been a kick in the balls

Aye it was very good. Fields impressed a lot and GoodBooks were really tight live. Kid Harpoon was quite power acoustic/antifolksy so that went down well with me. Well worth the ticket money.

And the afterparty was really good, even if someone had to be sent home in an ambulance! Wouldn't want to be Marc cleaning his house right now

Yeah, cause its the man's fault, isn't it?

ACE gig and an ACE party

Formally seconded.

Its like the time they tried to rename Coco Pops 'Choco Crispies'.

will have to find out more about this afterparty thing, like how much drink to get etc

I think the band will be contributing to the 'drink fund'.

Congratulations to Kai on his imminent freedom

Remember kids, be like Zammo...just say no!

I'd jump at the chance of a few libs badges if you've got any spare
