  1. I quite enjoyed that. You say it is a bit loose but I think that suited the song. Maybe needs the levels tweaked here and there but a good effort.

    Out of interest, what did you use to program the drums?

  2. So what are your favourite Dylan songs to mark the occasion.

    Things Have Changed (First song he played the first time I saw him, fantastic lyrics)

    Ballad of a Thin Man

    A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall

    Probably already a thread about his songs but I'm in a hurry to leave work so don't have time to dig it out!

  3. If you liked that you should get John Krakauer's other booking 'Into Thin Air'. Its about the 1996 Everest disaster. Really, really good.

    Yeah, read that one last year (on a boarding holiday funnily enough). Brilliant book. A bit of an eye-opener about how commercialised something so dangerous had become. If you're rich and can walk...yer in!

  4. Into The Wild for the double dozenth time - If you haven't seen it. Then make sure you do very soon! Very good true story about a young man who wants to disconnect himself from what he feels is the poison of society. He sets off after graduating college leaving absolutely everything behind and changing his name to Alexander Supertramp. An amazing film but prepare yourself as it's not a feel good film.

    ****1/2

    I enjoyed this film and just finished reading the book it was based on. Worth a read if you like the film.

  5. Singer/guitarist and bass player already in place so a drummer definitely needed and, if possible, a second guitarist to complete lineup. Music will be indie-rock with influences along the lines of Doves, Radiohead, Suede, The Smiths, Interpol etc. Basically, some louder rockier songs mixed with upbeat and melodic tunes. Several songs already written and demo's recorded so getting a set together for gigs and recording is already underway.

    We are both early 30's (although no real restriction on age) and after likeminded people music-wise to get started with.

    Reply or PM for more details.

  6. At times he hasn't conducted himself with the dignity that a football manager should have, but do you blame the guy for getting wound up when he's dealing with this fucking shit ALL THE TIME.

    I think this is a bit of a vicious circle. He gets this shit because he gets wound up but he gets wound up because he gets shit. Quite frankly, Lennon hasn't conducted himself with dignity this season, he's a manager and standing in front of TV cameras blaming refs and accusing other teams of not trying and if he didn't do this I'm sure the abuse he gets would decrease. This has quite clearly resulted from his recent comments about Hearts not trying against Rangers.

    I stated this before a few weeks ago but I can't stand Neil Lennon but am happy to leave this in a footballing sense and treat him as a panto villian rather than anything else. Unfortunately, you get knuckle draggers like this Hearts fan who feel the need to take swings at him...unless Neil Lennon drowned his dog or something, then maybe he deserves a shoeing.

  7. I thought both the Man U claims were pretty good shouts to be honest. With the handball, Lampard has his arm up and prevented the ball going into a dangerous position and the reverse angle shows a trip by Terry on the other claim.

    Man U looked pretty convincing though and deserved the win from the outset. Hopefully they keep that sort of form going for the CL final as that could be a cracker of a game.

  8. Girls who instantly pout when a photo is being taken. 9 times out of 10, they just look like they have a mouthful of lemon sherbets. I deleted a photo I was in because of it. I'm not being photographed with some fucking pouting idiot.

    The hand on hip pose as well. Is there a rulebook girls have for photographs that state the moment you see a camera you have to put your hand on your hip?

  9. Citizen Smith was indeed ace. I just hate it when people can't let something go and contaminate the brilliance of the original. In that respect Green Green Grass and Rock and Chips were the "comedic" equivalent of Queen since Freddie Mercury's death.

    Only Fools and Horses was milked as well I reckon. Best TV show ever in my opinon but those last couple of Xmas shows where they lost their millions were totally unnecessary.

  10. And also Venezuela, the only country in the world that runs at a half hour difference to the rest of the world. EG if it's 40 past the hour in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, it's 10 past in Venezuela, awkward fuckers.

    I think Australia has half hour time zones as well. Does that fuck up sun dials?
