  1. did plan to go mate' date=' and that would have been cool beans but the gig is sold out already i believe, resulting in me picking up an extra shift.thanks for the offer though and good luck![/quote']

    aye i'm sad we're not going, it'll probably be phenomenal. i'm glad i didnt get those tickets ages ago anyway, i couldnt really skive off because i have to be back up here first thing the next day for wee babby delivering purposes. oh well!

  2. The plot was kinda thin

    I thought it was a big fat plot, with a nice big twist of gristle at the end. I'm sad more people didn't die though. I like films that end in mass bloodshed and no happy customers. And to be a bit anal, I think he probably would've haemorrhaged or choked to a bloody end by lopping off his tongue and not going to hospital straight away. I thought the film was particularly well shot, very easy on the eye.

  3. i hate being in that position. i like to think i'm quite attentive at what i do, but sometimes it's just so hard to understand crazy accents or feeble voices.

    if it's a patient i don't understand, i laugh politely and say 'well, what can you do' or 'well, just goes to show'. they seem to be the best general empathetic responses to imply some vague basal understanding.

    if it's a doctor i don't understand i usually nod profusely and say 'smashing' or 'super' like a real fopp. sometimes this backfires if ive been asked an important question about some horrific medical condition, or told someone's on the verge of kicking the bucket. "i love your cancer".

  4. mine has to be that appalling peice of total tosh by gwen stefani 'rich girl'

    not only does it have the cheek to nick bits from a song from that classic musical 'fiddler on the roof' it also has one of the most patronising lyrics i've ever heard....

    'if i was a rich girl' erm stefani you are very rich indeed and your not a girl but a fully grown 35 year old woman.....

    makes me blood boil! :swearing:

    I couldn't agree more! The hypocrisy! She's gotten very silly lately, what with her japanese 'imaginary' muses, and crazy-pirate-jig videos. Actually, the jig dancing is quite amusing because she looks like a spasmodic multiple sclerosis sufferer tripping her way down the dinner table in pirate garb.

    Having seen a souped-up, grotesqued-out Gavin Rossdale in Constantine I seriously hope they're both too conceited to ever spawn forth offspring, because that child would be an ultimate terror. Oi! Stefani! STRETCH MARKS!

  5. not really, i didn't pick up on that. i see what you mean though. every fennesz track i've ever heard reminds me of long, grey train journeys. even the stuff that's supposed to be based on fishing in a little boat somewhere exotic, or something similar.

  6. richard has some pro-plus. we'll be ok.

    that'll fuck you up. i once knew a girl who took two packets of proplus and died of aids. true story. i've decided i cant go to gigs and things that are on that late, as wonderful as i'm sure it would be, as i pass out most nights about midnight. also, i need to play world of warcraft for at least six hours before bed these days or i just cant settle down. THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP.

  7. that is shocking' date=' as shocking as the fact jimmy carr is in payed employment[/quote']

    I dunno, I think he's quite funny. He looked genuinely pissed off with Brigitte Nielson. That was highly entertaining.

    Nathan barley is a combination utter tripe interspersed with pure genius. GEEK PIE. I have to be in the mood. Jam's like that too though. Good stuff and rubbish stuff.

  8. what DVD is that? are you into a lot of gold standard labs/three one g stuff? i've been tempted to get 'this is circumstantial evidence' for a while but I don't even have a DVD player

    yeah i quite fancy getting that dvd too, although i hear it's pretty ropey sounding in places. It's my Michiganfest dvd that has arab on radar on it. I shouldn't spend money on these dvds - I only watch them once or twice. And yeah, a lot of three one g stuff is really cool. There's a tonne of stuff I want off their website. I got a Locust bag from them, it's the business!

  9. agreed - eric's voice is just so tame in comparison to his spazzy AOR efforts. the production is way too clean as well' date=' half the fun of AOR was the shitty drum sound etc. to be fair i haven't heard either chinese stars release in its entirety, but the few mp3s from each certainly were disappointing.[/quote']

    the mp3s were probably 'the best bits'. it's all pretty samey. but then so were arab on radar in a way i suppose, just a thousand times better and distinctively abrasive. i always got the impression they'd be great to see live, but they feature on some dvd i have and are kind of flat and boring. no dance routines, circus animals, or dancing ladies. poor show.

  10. Don't agree entirely but they DO have a point :) anyone else confused as to why ARAB ON RADAR split at the height of their popularity and formed the awful chinese stars?

    yeah. i guess they just got tired or ran out of steam. the chinese stars stuff is so similar yet poor by comparison. what a horrible mess.
