  1. Delgados - The Great Eastern (perhaps the most criminaly underrated album and band to ever come out of scotland. ever)

    That is a brilliant album, they are highly underrated. Peloton is really good as well although it was the great eastern that got me into them so its probably my favourite between those two.

  2. I wish you better luck than I've ever had with the banks....the bastards wouldn't even give me my own money the other day' date=' let alone a little sub....yet its fine for them to continually rip me off of about 100 in charges nearly every month[/quote']

    I'm trying this to get charges back. I've been continually ripped off by RBS like you. The last few months have been really bad. I was off for a week ill and being a contractor didn't get paid. So phoned up the bank to extend my overdraft temporarily but they said they couldn't extend it at all. So my accounts went over the limit, got charged about 100 quid. The charges mean that its very hard to get back to within my limit cos as soon as I go over by a few quid for a couple of hours its another 40 quid charge. Hopefully the method in the link above will work though. Last week I got charged 35 quid twice for supposedly trying to use my maestro when I had no funds - complete crap. Bunch of ripoff merchants, no wonder they had an 11bn profit this year.

  3. The food is crap in la tasca, I've been twice and almost puked cos its mingin. Its all prepackaged frozen stuff that just gets heated up.

    There's a place called the moonfish cafe thats meant to be amazing for tapas down behind Gap I think. La Bonne Baguette down there used to be excellent as well, not been for a few years though.

  4. Best has to be the Witnness festival in Dublin in 2000 I think it was. Saw the white stripes in one of the new band tents, the place was half empty and they were brilliant - about a month or 2 later nme put them on the cover for the first time and everything kicked off!

    Worst has to be the same festival when I lost my mate's custom made oakley's whilst watching paul weller - turned into a bit of an expensive weekend!

  5. Got Mr Beast on Monday - excellent! Glasgow Mega-Snake rocks but could've done with being twice as long. Thats the only thing I'd criticise about the album, some of the tracks are too short, think the longest one is only 5 and a half minutes long. Its got touches of all their previous albums in it so would be a good choice for someone wanting to get into Mogwai.
