  1. Life of Pi

    What can I say about this book? its just bloody brilliant.

    Read it, even if it isn't picked as a review book.

    Some books defy categorisation: Life of Pi, the second novel from Canadian writer Yann Martel, is a case in point: just about the only thing you can say for certain about it is that it is fiercely and admirably unique. The plot, if thats the right word, concerns the oceanic wanderings of a lost boy, the young and eager Piscine Patel of the title (Pi). After a colourful and loving upbringing in gorgeously-hued India, the Muslim-Christian-animistic Pi sets off for a fresh start in Canada. His blissful voyage is rudely interrupted when his boat is scuppered halfway across the Pacific, and he is forced to rough it in a lifeboat with a hyena, a monkey, a whingeing zebra and a tiger called Richard.

  2. DAMN having no mates willing to go :( GUTTED

    I always go to gigs alone.

    don't be afraid to go to gigs alone. Once you are there you are standing in a crowd of folk who think as you do.

    and you missed a really really fucking ace gig! heheh.

  3. I've just finished Life of Pi by Yann Martel which is a story about a 16 year old Indian boy who is the sole surviver from a ship sinking and is stuck on a life boat with a zebra, hyena, orang-utan and a bengal tiger, but ultimately just him and the tiger.

    It is very very cool.

  4. I'm going to splash out on a new lap top.

    It'll just be used for surfing the net from the living room, playing a few simple games, updating my website. Nothing too special. But I do want wireless connection to the interweb.

    What is the minimum spec I should ask for?

    whats a good general laptop?

    My, brother, knows, Karl Marx,

    He met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park,

    He said 'What do you think about my manifesto?'

    'I like a manifesto, put it to the test-o.'

    Took it straight down to meet the anarchist's party.

    I met a groovy guy, he was arty farty,

    He said 'I know a little latin man a cus man a kai'

    I said 'I don't know what it means' he said 'neither do I'

    Eat natural foods, bathe twice daily,

    Fill your nostrils up with gravy.

    Don't drink tea and don't drink coffee.

    Cover your chin in yorkshire toffee.

  6. where in aberdeen can I get a decent pair of black jeans. Proper rockers black jeans. All the cliches required. Skinny legs, pockets big enough for money, phone and keys.

    They need to be

    a) resistant to multiple pint spillages

    b) stay black after several washes

    c) able to take me home at the end of a night

    d) cheap!

    Chris, I hold you personally responsible for the neglect of our horses, cats and small holding. The loss of what few social skills I had and the fact that the only pleasure I now have is getting a new word.

    thanks for that!

    the Barn one and the farmer one are still doing my nut.

  8. ...you went to your first proper gig. Unborns and going with Mummy and Daddy doesn't count.

    I felt well old last night!
    Hey, I'm in my mid 30's and still going to gigs and I always feel old at gigs, but my first gig was age 16. I got a ticket to see David Bowie at Main Road in Manchester. I was blown away. After that I was a regular live music devotee.
