Quality....eh?

Caaa-na-da eh? The Quo feature in the soundtrack for Men In Black III - "Pictures Of Matchstick Men"

Did you ROFL and PY(M)SL too? (coz it doesn't count if you didn't)

Lol - if memory serves, you were doing a work placement and if I'm correct in my assumptions, then it scares the crap out of me coz you were just a "wee boey" back then and now you're co-author in a baby. You have NO idea just how old that makes me feel

Homer: So you think you know better than this family, eh? Well as long as you're in my house you'll do what I do and believe what I believe! So butter your bacon! Bart: Yes father. Lisa: Mom, dad, my spiritual quest is over! Homer: Hold that thought... Bacon up that sausage, boy! Bart: But dad, my heart hurts!

The third "headline" item on the 08:00 Radio 2 news this morning was... "Australian Girl Guides will no longer pledge to do their duty for Queen and God"... ...and that's got exactly WHAT to do with the price of butteries?

Aye, pop in, we're on after 9pm, I'll stand ye a pint of foaming something or other It's just a bunch of auld farts (+ younger drummist) doin' yer bog standard 60/70's classic rock, but with a female singer.

The Aul' Fife - played there back in Feb. it was a good night and they wanted us back, so hopefully it'll be more of the same.

Similar weekend for me - I think I know you from my old place - your mum used to work there too, if I'm thinking of the same person. Fri : Quiet night in for me also. Sat : We're playing in Banff Sun : Take my puddin' of a daughter for a long walk. Keep her aff the Doritos and Oreos for a few hours.

Me too, I miss mine, but I had to let her go. I'm pretty sure she was stealing cutlery. Same with the tea-strainer, he was always taking sickies.

Just finished both the Alan Lake games. Good-looking and easy to play, but not much variety or challenge. Might give Max Payne 3 a whirl.

The obvious good Zombie games or games with Zombie content are ... 1. The Resident Evil series which are great ('cept Operation Raccoon City which is a shit Gears of War clone) 2. The Silent Hill series for all the reasons that Moose listed in this thread and the fact that they have more atmosphere than a super giant planet with some kind of magic alien atmosphere - and fucking Pyramid Head! 3. Dead Rising, a Dawn of the Dead inspired game - with really frustrating cinematic camera angles - that is as repetitive as hell 4. Dead Island, similar to the above and equally repetitive (killing Zombies is an absolute chore in this game), but with a far more user-friendly 1st-person perspective. Both 3 and 4 have jaw-dropping cinematic intros, that make the actual games all the more disappointing. 1 and 2 have the advantage of offering a variety of munnsters and enemies for when you tire of killing zombies - and you will tire of it! If you want to kill the fuck of dead things, but don't care if they're no longer entirely human, have a look at Dead Space 1 & 2. Scary as hell and one of the few games that have actually made me jump away from the screen. And remember .. aim for the head

Titty bars - in this area at least - are for two kinds of people... 1. Moronic, loud mouthed, shaven headed, tattooed, earring wearing offshore rig-pigs 2. Faux middle-class office workers (the type who play online poker) who think it's "cool" to go these places - even more so if they can drag a client with them. Both types are generally under the illusion that any of the worn-out, doe-eyed sploshers would actually consider having unpaid, consensual sex with them - "did ye see 'at wee hing Franco? - se wiz RIGHT intae me, min" Even fat, ugly, anorak-wearing speccy cunts who canny get a burd have more taste than to go to these shitholes. Ps - my old office is/was full of type 2's.

This... Best. Ballad. Ever. No vocoders, no, post-production backing vox, no stupit vidjoe, just a great song beautifully sung.

Never Let Me Go Both heartbreaking and disturbing in equal measure and yet another top-notch performance by Carey Mulligan. A very thought-provoking movie and far superior to "The Island" which explores similar themes in the usual American semi-automatic gunfire/elbow-to-the-face fashion. 9/10 Drive Another intriguing movie with to great central performances by Ryan Gosling and Carey Mulligan. The violence is used sparingly, but is extreme when it happens. What's more painful is the pregnant pause that occurs before Gosling's character speaks. Very good movie. 8/10 Man On A Ledge Caper movie, starring Sam Worthington (who's actually quite good). Jamie Bell, Elizabeth Banks, some gorgeous Latino girl and a worrying thin Ed Harris. A complete load of bobbins, but well done and entertaining. 7/10

Never Let Me Go This you ...

SELT

Tonight - Pick "The Kid" up and listen to her "...and then...and then...and then..." wittering all the way home (Turriff). Practice for gig next week. Saturday - Go for a run in the morning. Attend "The Kid's" drama school presentation, look interested and applaud in the right places. Mair practice Sunday - Morning run, then even mair practice. My life's a fucking riot.

I have the following Electro-Harmonix pedals for sale, all mint, all boxed and all velcroed. Nano Double Muff - fuzz/distortion Nano Screaming Bird - treble booster Nano Chorus £20 each or £50 for all three.

Pm'd you a few days ago

You snooze ... you lose

Good game last night, completely and utterly ruined by wannabe bog-dweller Mick McCarthy's partisan commentary. Late on, Balotelli rode a clumsy challenge then was hacked down by Sean St Donkey - "Eeh, there were nowt in that" remarked the inciteful Mr McCarthy.

Hmmm.... more like a club that Gary Glitter would have frequented.

Celtic v Aberdeen Hearts v St Johnstone Kilmarnock v Club 12 Ross County v Motherwell St Mirren v Inverness Caledonian Thistle "Club 12" - I like that. Tt has a "Room 101" or "Area 51" feel to it. It should be a caveat that whoever gets voted into the SPL must change their name to "Club 12". Just hope our chairman listens to the fans and votes The Buns out. The prospect of a first-fixture win against Dundee or DAFC might swing it.
