Diesel

Corner

this one?

Pretty sure, technically, that the result should be a corner kick award.

A real howler though.

DZL

How dare you!

I dare, because the droopy-mouthed mumbler (caused apparently, by medical staff putting forceps through the wee souls napper as he vacated the hideous Jackie's womb), is, frankly, shite.

Having said that, he was quite good in Nighthawks, Rocky I, & III and Copland.

Not as bad as Van Bamme (as my mate Pat McKay, former World Light-Heavyweight Karate champ and a REAL martial arts exponent) dubbed him or Big Useless Dolph - unforgettable as Ivan Drago - a man who looks as if the operation to remove his brain was a complete success.

Brigette Neilsen should join the list as well as anyone who's seen Red Sonja will testify.

Arrnie escapes because at least he tried to be intentionally funny in his movies.

DZL

Awesome.

Anyone seen this?

Funny, but clearly "digitally enhanced"

DZL

Angry backlash:

Uncultured heathen! Pre universal soldier/timecop Van Damme is pure violent genius! He made the 80s what they were! What would the 80s have been without slow-mo replays of the muscles from brussles axe kicking people in the head? Rubbish' date=' that's what they'd have been.[/quote']

Quality response and very well put...

...however, let's not lose sight of the issue in hand here - that Van Damme does indeed, suck balls. In fact the Flemish testicle-sampling moron is undoubtably one of Hollywoods all-time worst.

More dreadful actors/actresses in no particular order, only numbered coz I had some spare digits to use up...

1. Dolph Lundgren

2. Stephen Seagal

3. Andie McDowall

4. Roddy McDowall - no relation, in both are kindred in their complete shite-ness

5. Sean Connery - sorry, but "Big Tam" is total gash

6. Sly Stallone - "Adriiiiiiiaaaaaaaan", need I elobarate?

7. Ice-T - THE WORST

8. Ice Cube

9. <insert Rapper here>

10. Madonna - great pop icon, but absolutely gantin' in almost every movie she's been in.

Done

Boooooom

I'm in BoD and didn't hear a thing - but then again, I had ma heidfones on and was listening to some classic rock.

Kit

Meant to say - I have access to some proper kit. Probably three or four full sets. Water bottles and baws as well.

If you were prepared to come out to Hatton of Fintray (a whopping 8 miles away) we have a full-sized pitch and 7-a-side goals (with nets!) as well.

I could get a local team together and that way the suburban wifies will make sandwiches and stuff for after the game - half-time oranges, the lot.

But it might be a tall order to organise with cars and associated poop.

Of course' date=' ex-juniors, ex-pros, ex-I only played cos I had to! Sounds like there's alot of interest, that's good! How about Sunday 16th July for a date?[/quote']

Suits me.

Christ' date=' I must have seen some bad movies in my time because that one wasn't that bad to me. Then again it has Rutger Hauer in it and I'm a bit of a fan since Blade Runner so forgive him a lot. Nice to see he is back in decent films these days like Batman Begins and Sin City.

Sweetest Thing was absolutely abysmal and that song in particular was cringeworthy in that it was obviously thought of by the writers as highly amusing but was in fact plain embarassing.

I saw Just Friends recently, that was pish. The King Kong remake was shite for the most part although some bits were good and it could have been fantastic.

What's happened to Vin Diesel these days, he started off well with Pitch Black, Fast And The Furious and XXX was dumb fun but seems to have disappeared??([/quote']

Agree about King Kong - with that classic story, cast, director and technology, it should have been awsome, but it turned into a freak show - the fight with the insects was repulsive and the dinosaur stampede was ridiculous.

I appreciate that with all these movies, there is an element of suspension of disbelief required, but it seems to me that excess is the order of the day now and that the distributors are pressurising the production companies into putting as much "kapow" into blockbusters as possible at the expense of plot, dialogue & credibilty

Still, with a target audience nurtured on a diet of Soaps, Game Shows, DIY Programmes and Reality TV - I suppose they can do anything they want. The public in general are too stoopid to notice the difference.

For shame.

DZL

harmonics are pretty simple on it. fair enough the chord 1s are harder. but id say guitar harmoics seem harder (from my point of view as a bass player)

I wouldn't know to be honest' date=' but I find doing 6-string harmonics an absolute caker, but I've never [i']consciously heard a bass player do it and assumed it would be difficult with those muckle big strings.

This morning when I left for work it was blazing sunshine so I selected a lovely pair of flip flops to adorn my feet for work. At midday however the heavens opened. I was indifferent' date=' I quite like wearing sandals when it's rainy so I can splash about in the puddles without having to put up with wet shoes for the rest of the day. I went out to lunch, the rain stopped. I left my mates after my allotted hour (and a very nice sandwich), got 10 yards and it started with the hail. Not just any hail, huge fuckers like musket balls stinging me through my clothes - oocha! I was hurrying along when I caught the toe of my flip flop in a drain which put me all out of kilter. To regain my balance (without falling on my arse) I must of taken my foot out of my sandal. It went plop - down the drain - leaving me with only 1 sandal, but not only that, in my struggle to regain my balance I stepped in a very fresh feeling dog turd (it was warm and squishy). So I found myself in the situation where I only had 1 shoe and the other foot was somewhat mucky (easily washed off in a puddle though) and still a fair distance from work although I did make it back. Now the dilemma though, how can I walk home with only 1 shoe? I live in Tillydrone and there is a lotta glass aboot![/quote']

Brilliant - have you ever considered a career in comedy ????

Can't see the videos through the Firewall in the office, but about 3 or 4 years ago, I managed EIGHT own goals for the season (against my 11 at the correct end) - each one more spectacular than the last - including one the manager dubbed as "Diesel's Pinball Special" which hit four players and the Ref before looping over the keeper into the net.

If only someone had filmed it.

DZL

God, this is 11 pages long, I gave up on page 4.

Things that "Grind My Gears":

1. People who seem to lack the basic fundamentals of grammar, or who seem incapable of spelling correctly. Even worse when it's displayed on something like Myspace; if you really are that stupid, please just use a spellchecker in order to avoid looking like an absolute tit.

To expand on that - people who use "your" instead of "you're" for "you are". Or the incorrect use of "There", "Their" or "They're"

2. People who are rude to waitresses.

Agreed - minky folk tend to that if they "are oot fur a meal, ken?, at thon posh place" (which for white trash is usually anywhere that isn't McDonalds) and feel the have the right to treat staff like nature and fortune has treated them - i.e. like shite

3. People who constantly moan about how "shit" Big Brother is, and how it's just used to exploit innocent people. Fuck off. If you really can't stand Big Brother, then just don't talk about it, because I don't care.

Agreed - It is shite, but I'm not moaning, merely acknowledging the fact and exercising my right not to watch it. Coz it's mind-numbing shite. it really is. Now I AM moaning...

4. People who label ALL pop music as being "shit".

Agreed - The word "Pish" should be applied in equal measure.

5. People on buses who refuse to move their bags off the seat beside them, and pretend not to notice when the bus gets so busy that people are forced to stand.

Agreed - My advice? Simply pull their bags onto the floor and whilst they are scrambling about trying to pick up their Pot Noodles, Frozen Pizzas and other white trash MSG, fat and sugar-laden purchases, give them a few swift kicks in the heid. Then take the seat. Easy peasy, Japansesee.

6. Rude people in general.

Agreed - but does that include Madness, The Specials, Bad Manners and other short-lived same-y 80's Ska bands?

7. People who go to nightclubs just to stand and look miserable with their mates.

They should be happy they HAVE mates

8. People who go on holiday abroad and then get really angry when the natives don't understand what they're saying.

Agreed - a serious hobby horse of mine, Usually the same Pot Noodle, treat-staff-like-shite white schemie trash who go to far off countries and look immediately for the nearest McDonalds and British/Irish theme pub. Death to them all!

Some others...

Pot Noodles

Schemie White Trash

McDonalds (the health hazard "food" chain, not the clan)

How cathartic is this thread

DZL

Came up with a good idea...

How about a 6's football tournament at Seaton Park one Saturday or Sunday in the summer. Saw the 6's tournament at the University in April and looked great fun but it would be hard to get it up to that standard. I've got access to a goal (decent size' date=' not a pair unfortunately) and I'd have to get permission to use it but I reckon I could get it. We'd probably need a couple of ref's, Christy I'm looking in your direction! Wouldn't have to be too special but hopefully get a few teams on the go and have a mini tournament. We'd need bibs aswell.

Gee us a shout if your interested, any suggestions?

It's an idea at the moment but I fancy it![/quote']

Oany room for a veteran ex-Junior???

Folks,

Watched the worst movie ever made last night - "Torque".

Never in my life have I witnessed so much crap stuffed into just 90 minutes. Good old Sky Movies, they can always be relied upon to air at least one complete no-brainer per evening.

For those not familiar with this movie, it's basically "Fast & The Furious" with bikes and ALL credibility thrown out the window.

I won't cover the plot - there wasn't one, but I would urge everyone to watch this movie as it is so bad it's laughable and any subsequent movies you watch will seem like masterpieces (I watched Gregory's Girl immediately afterwards - brilliant!).

Here are some of the characters: -

Hero - Yuppie biker, martial arts expert, acrobat and stunt rider (just like real life)

Heroine - Beautiful, blonde, model-quality custom bike shop owner (just like real life)

Baddie 1 - White scowling bike-gang leader

Baddie 2 - Black scowling hip-hop-gangsta bike-gang leader - called Trey (played by that wonderful, talented thespian, Ice Cube - who keeps casting this non-actor?)

Baddie 3 - Trey's idiotic young brother named - yes, you've guessed it - Junior.

Baddie 4 - Played inexplicably by useless English actor Max Beesley, who's crap in everything he's in.

FBI Agent 1 - 24-year-old "Special Agent" with pin-stripe suit, baseball boots and a Hummer (just like real life)

FBI Agent 2 - 18-year-old beautiful black girl (just like real life)

Numerous slack-jawed yokels, pumped up "homies" and skimpily-dressed beauties.

Fast and the Furious was dumb, but fun and at least it had the presence of Vin Diesel. This mound of sh!te clearly takes the piss out of it's low-brow target audience.

What really murders this movie are the stunts - they have no "wow factor" at all, it's more like "Aw, gie's peace, for f**ks sake". They are so ludicrous that they make James Bond's stunt seem almost plausible.

Another thing that p!sses me off about this movie is the use of guns - do they hand these things out like confetti in America?

Anyway, please watch this movie - get some beers and a big pizza, call up your mates and piss yourselves laughing at the ineptitude of it all.

Harmonics

Awesome.

Loved the harmonics - that can't be easy on a bass!

Sadly ended though

That is THE best, bar none, car ad I've ever seen and I used to work in the trade - before joining the Dark Side (Information Technology)

Cool post.

DZL

unless anyone here has one they're wanting to part with!

W-e-e-ell, now that you mention it.........

......nah! I'd rather keep it!

An 8-string bass!?

Must have fingers like scaffolding poles

Hi' date=' not sure if this is against the forum rules or anything to ask this, but anyone know where i could get a good deal on a Gibson Les Paul Custom in Wine Red?

Best i've seen so far is 2k for a new one - apparently the prices of Gibbos have been jacked up due to expensive production costs in the US.

Anyone able to help?[/quote']

Unless anyone can tell you otherwise (Dusty?) , you're unlikely to get a new LP Custom cheap in the UK. (I recently managed to bag a used one for a ridiculous price - but that was the exception rather than the rule)

The US of A seems to be the place. I've included a link to the Musicians Friend site where the going rate for a Custom is $2400-$2700 dollars. That might be more attractive given current exchange rates?

Good luck

DZL

one of these

Good idea.

Get Zakk Wylde to join your band!

Problem solved

DZL

Amp

Hughes & Kettner Trilogy.

The guy I bought my TSL100 from (he replaced it with an H&K) let me hear his Trilogy.

It sounded absolutely fantastic.

The Engl is good amp too.

I went for the Marshall coz I needed something less metal and more bluesy/hard rock.

DZL

Ps - the H&K is backlit and looks amazing.

Sorted

Looks like the problem was the footswitch.

Thanks for the advice.

DZL

So it all works properly now?

Dah ken!!!!

Haven't tried it for any length of time yet!!!

Ta.

DZL

What exactly do you mean by 'cutting out'. Is there no sound as soon as you switch it to the overdrive channels? Or does it cut out after producting some sound?

Does this happen if you switch it manually with the buttons on the amp head?

I doubt it is a valve problem if it works perfectly on clean.

Hi,

OK - I explained it badly...

I'm on the Crunch or Lead channels and the thing switches over to the Clean channel (which I had turned down really low, hence the impression of cutting out) without pior warning.

DZL

souds like there is a intermittent short in the footswitch. try unplugging it and see if the problem stops.

Will do.

I understand that the footswitches aren't very reliable anyway.

Thanks.

DZL
