If I may be slighty tangential: EUS - Homeopathy Project This is the one that gets me fumin'.

The NHS is not infallible. Acupuncture does have scientific value,but only as a placebo. Also I know many people who have a degree and yet believe in utter nonsense. There is no shame in ignorance though.

If it's evidence is thousands of years old, then it isn't good evidence. The more recent the study the better it is.

Swingin' Ryan has pretty much ended this thread, but I'll lay down a quick aphorism anyway. If alternative medicine worked, we would just call it medicine.

I do that after every trip to the cinema.

Yuo have suggested that the events have already reached their zenith. Do you mean penultimate?

The weather is actually more interesting than this thread.

Word. I just googled "NME Reviews" and that was the first one that I came across. I had to fight desperately against my gag reflex whilst skimming through this puerile nonsense. "Lyrically, the albums a love letter from 1984s Winston Smith to Julia, or rather Bellamy to his fiance. Love is our resistance goes Resistance (surprisingly), and the abiding message is that forbidden romance against the odds will, even in this dystopia, triumph. The references to my guiding lightning bolt suggest that behind the musical lunacy is just a guy in love with a beautiful woman. Perhaps because this is the first time hes opened himself up emotionally, Bellamy feels the need to cloak his feelings in metaphor, and, once past the overcooked imagery, The Resistance feels resolutely human throughout." Music journalism had a purpose before the days of blogging and linking and all the other awesome things that we now have. All Q and NME have to offer us these days is a schoolboyish reverence for Bono and Kasabian. But yeah good shout; Music journalism should have a thread of it's own.

Christ it's cold in here...

What? He is a good magician who fools people using simple methods, not subliminal mind techniques or illegal activities. It's just good old fashioned fun that is somewhat spoiled by the fact that we can find out how it is done via the internet roughly 5 minutes after the performance, but fun nonetheless.

This is how it was done. The other explanations were fun red herrings for silly people with silly beliefs!

Both Kurt and I disagree with you.

This is why you can't discuss games on aberdeen music.

Can you explain that in layman's terms? Stop trying to bamboozle me with your snobby scientific jargon!

Yeah I'd suggest going at night. Give it one more chance!

Anyone been to Casa Gabriele? Apart from the witchy owner, I've had some beautiful seafood dishes there along with some great wine.

Presumably he is referring to the moral argument over the nutritional aspects which are of course not involved in any way to said discussion.

Haha, awesome! I never did get round to giving him a copy, but he gave me a Dawntreaders CD for free which I think I still have. I've just remembered that he gave my girlfriend guitar lessons aswell. Does he still work in the school? He was a pretty cool bloke.

John Martin? He was a teacher at my old school (I think he joined just as I was leaving) and a really good guy. He caught me and my two other bandmates (during class hours) carrying a drum-set the long and hidden route down to the Turriff Gateway Centre where we had set up a mini studio for the day. Instead of reporting us to "proper" teachers, he just asked us what sort of stuff we were playing and if he could have a copy when we were finished! What a guy. If we are indeed talking about the same fellow.

That's a great band name! My friend managed to get me an audition to play in a band called Subject to Change (I think this was about 2000) by saying I could play Paranoid Android on guitar. I could play it, but that was all I could play so when we were rehearsing I just turned my volume down most of the time in the hope no-one could hear my awful playing. We played one gig in which our guitarist burned his guitar with lighter fluid. Our sound was very similar to our stunts; Shit. Shortly after this I got together with my a couple of mates from school to form Toy. We still compose music together and perform utterly unrehearsed gigs to this day. It's always been my main focus to write songs for this band, although I also play acoustic songs with a friend in Musa on a Monday.

The spelling is deliberate. Did you think that it was a genuine mistake?

Induction.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Most of my friends haven't thought very much of it at all for some reason. I can't understand it, I mean I thought it had the most satisfying movie climax since There Will Be Blood. How can you not love Tarantino?

You are joking right?

Hahaha! Nice.
