Are you suggesting that I'm lying?

especially with the agricultural community having so many problems these days as it is.

What, the steep rise in unconsenting sheep being shagged this year?

And I'm not joking - after a recent, comprehensive survey conducted by the Uk Agricultural Association, it turns out that up to 31% of farmers, or anyone directly associated with that farmer (sons / retarded brothers etc), regularly perform lewd acts on a variety of farmyard animals, ranging upwards from the obvious (and generally excusable) wooly fellows, to the downright sinister - calfs still under the age of three days apparently a keenly sought delicacy to bestiality connoisseurs all over the country, some known to camp for weeks outside fields in lustful anticipation of heavily pregnant Daisy's sweaty deposit.

It's all in the data - absolutely true.

As has already been said, he had no part in writing or producing the IT Crowd. As it happens though, I find the IT Crowd much funnier than Nathan Barley.

...ah, but you said:

I have to say I thought Nathan Barley was the poorest thing Chris Morris has been involved in

A rather broad phrase.

Avril 14th is a nice song. If you can work things out by ear that is a great skill to have too.

Bought the music online for 50p!

I have to say I thought Nathan Barley was the poorest thing Chris Morris has been involved in. I just found it annoying more than anything else.

The IT Crowd..

I could sell you one of these is you want something compact and easy to use....

Tascam 424MkIII Four Track Recorder from zZounds.com!

Was great for several years of guitar / vocal type recordings.

You could get Anna Magdalena notebook, tuneful, simple bach. Possibly a good place to start if you are not starting from absolute scratch. Can you read music? Got to remember that sometimes you have to practice stuff that you don't really enjoy just to get techniques under your belt (got many bad memories of this as a child!). Been a while since I had lessons, will check out the back catelogue next time I'm back at my folks place.

I highly recomend practicing blues scales, start in C and move on when memorised. Learn the notes then let your mind wander, great technique for getting riffs if you are writing stuff on keys.

hope that is useful

Cheers. Been learning Bach's Prelude 1 in C Major yesterday and today. Music reading is just a bit sketchy and slow, one of the things I can improve without a teacher though. I'm considering getting lessons if I can get properly 'into' it on my own (besides, the amount of sitting around I've done this summer, I don't really have an excuse for not being a virtuoso by October!). Aphex Twin's Avril 14th is also a really enjoyable piece to play - there's plenty of clips on youtube if you haven't heard it.

Pretty horrific; over-exaggerated, arrogant, cheesy and dated. I don't think the fact he is 'only 14' should warrant allowances either.

Elton John spends 50,000 a week on flowers, dresses up as an effette french aristocrat and bangs/is banged by David Furnish. Do you really think that's worth 3 pages of bandwidth?

And yet he wields more power than a bunch of good, honest hetros like us. Disgraceful.

Looking for recommendations for relatively easy and satisfying piano pieces. I learned as a kid and have messed around for a while but now looking to possibly get lessons and take it seriously. Worked out Fur Elise yesterday - technique probably sucks; it's more about getting the notes just now.

Cheers.

Oh well, semantics and pedantics in the end!

Actually upon thinking about , no. You are as about as wrong as it is possible to be.Had i said as a "point" of fact you would then only be half right.

You see i can point out you are wrong. There you go.

So you suggesting that your point is not a 'point of fact' but one of 'opinion'? Who ever heard of that?

I'd probably just go for ebay and amazon for the sheer number of people searching them, presuming of course that the music you're selling is of no real value (rare, collectors)?

Next there's Matthew O'Leary, you have to be the closest thing to a hillybilly with down's I've ever set my eyes upon.

.

You and Hitler would've made great chums.

EDIT: or any female gossip columnist; both work.

What's wrong with Amazon and Ebay?

I

can somebody explain to me why the staff and people in this place think they have a right to rip into and tear apart someone's personal anniversary video?

[end]

Because it was posted on a public video-hosting site.

what gives you the right to think you should have an opinion on it?

Again, banging on about 'rights'. What exactly stops me from having the right to an opinion on it?

there is no fucking right answer

The human plight...is the polishing and...refinement...of theories....disregarding what is wrong...keeping what is less wrong...in order to one day....find truth....otherwise, what purpose is there....other than... selfish, meaningless existence?

Sighting last night around 10pm beside Boots. I gave the guy a good stare aswell, just to make sure it was him...so I could report it on here...... I did good, didn't I?

Well now that would be a matter of taste wouldn't it?

A 'point' would generally be thought of as a universally agreed upon or proven 'truth'. An opinion is not necessarily a valid point.

At least the internet gives folks a chance to hear stuff by non-corporate bands doing interesting (and probably non commercial) work

Whereas in the 70s - and the absence of the internet - people were exposed to a lot less variety, resulting in fewer 'niches' and a more generalised mass taste. Elton John in this scenario has wrongly interpreted the broadening out of the music currently listened to and simply 'available' as being the lost, searching souls of a population in need of great musical inspirations. No doubt if the internet was destroyed and Jimi Hendrix resurrected we'd all drop to our knees and come together in the name of fantastic music at last found again..

Actually to be fair he (nearly) has a point.

What, that music was all-around 'better' in the 70s?

Sit down old man!

In the early Seventies there were at least ten albums released every week that were fantastic.

Now youre lucky to find ten albums a year of that quality.

'...in my day...'

Yeah I saw them too at about 5.30 outside my work. Couldn't recall any excerpts either (he isn't important enough in my life to learn something to recite)

How about just '...anyway, i love you...because... you mean everything to me...' in the fashionably sluggish, remarkably bland, characterless accent of the North-East middle-class?

It was really funny to see one of the chefs at my old work - thirty years old, convicted sex offender, vicious foul-mouthed bastard - banging on about how quickly he finished the latest Potter...

If someone was following you around, loudly screaming passages from the new Harry Potter book, I guess you'd have a definate reason to complain.

But, if you think about it, this is actually what happens.

Think for a second of 'culture', quite simply, as shared beliefs, attitudes and practices within a community. You seem to be suggesting an individuality and detachment from said community, brought about by consciously 'not paying attention' to popular things which disinterest you, subsequently remaining unmoved. I think that it's impossible to detach youself from the culture that fundamentally contains you, physically and mentally - shared beliefs growing and changing together, influencing one another. So if the over-riding mental exertion of a culture that you belong to amounts to HP worship.... I depend on this culture for certain things, which means I need to participate, and thus, can't merely 'switch off' and remain unaffected by the things that don't interest me.

...more for the sake of argument than a particular gripe against Mr Potter.
