Old Gold

Yeah, you would probably be as well looking into getting a lesson up the hills really. Seeing as there's snow there and everything.

Really stoked for the Lego Movie by the by. I'm making a rare trip to the cinema for that sucker.

I enjoyed watching some of the vignettes on youtube, but I can't imagine that watching them as part of a feature length film would be particularly satisfying. Johnny Knoxville fighting a leprechaun, Chris Pratt shitting himself after being hit by a car. Great.

I went for a lesson at the indoor ski slope at Braehead in Glasgow and it's really great. 30 quid for an hour and a half lesson in a reasonably sized group, including boots and board, learning on real snow. The group was a selection of total beginners of varying ability (all adults), but it seemed like everyone got something out of it. Heartily recommend the place.

I released my breakout rap single on a slice of multiseed toast.

Play the solo with the guitar behind your head and they'll probably give you a B minimum in the maths test too.

You could just dazzle them with some stage craft. Indoor fireworks. How many pluses can you get with an A?

Just jam out for a few minutes at the end. Throw in a few pinch harmonics, A+.

The majority of the US laws are restricted to what is taught in schools - mostly that they can't teach homosexuality as a positive thing. Those laws are totally bollocks, but it's hardly a scratch on the shit that gay Russians have to put up with.

Holding hands in public - arrested for gay propaganda. Get the idea?

I don't know why the DIY scene hasn't adopted minidisc yet. They're well better than tapes.

That is rad. You should keep the gold.

Care to elaborate pops?

Looks like they've put on a banquet of shite. Shame really. I like the snowy stuff. And curling.

I wish I had the get up and go to spend some time making boring comments on the deaths of people I have never heard of.

I still think it's strange that this thing has been actively aired in public by the victim and her family at a prime opportunity for max publicity. Also, it could be that twitter is a rubbish medium for weighing in on these things, but the Farrow clan's messages against Allen seem more akin to the kind of crass heckle you'd see in the Daily Mail comment section than heartfelt support for their family member.

A great follow up to Around the Firth.

Why would anybody not vote for Father Ted out of that list.

I really rate John Frusciante and and Hillel Slovak as guitar players. I don't think I could face picking up a guitar if I was heroin-ed off my tits, but they did it very well.

That scene is great. Apparently due to Kiedis not turning up for rehearsals, he got the fighting choreography wrong and ended up getting in the way of Swayze's fist for real.

I always figured relicing was a bit of a scam so that guitar shops could cut down on their B stock. If some kid with no intention of buying bashes the axe while playing Master of Puppets, no biggie.

I think the way that she's opted to try for the support of the public before pressing any formal charges is a bit weird. Have the police refused to do anything about her renewed accusations or something?
