  1. There is a demand for it. CD sales are down. Vinyl sales are up. Get rid of CD's. Replace with vinyl.

    Really? So why did they get rid of it in the first place?

    Saying that. Out of the people left who actually buy music now, I'm sure the majority like a bit of vinyl - either to play or collect - so it does make sense. But if they are shutting down places, taking in heaps of new stock might not be on their list of things to do... The arseholes.

  2. No one can multi task. If you're multi tasking, one of the tasks you're doing will be shit. Always.

    Or both. I read somewhere that if you try to concentrate on doing more than one thing, you end up concentrating on trying to concentrate and both things end up much lower than you could do if you gave one thing your full attention.

    Standing in front of the tv and talking over the top of it is about the only thing women can actually do fantastically at the same time.

  3. Beggars can't be choosers eh Jake,time for new glasses dude! :D

    My glasses prescription is wrong. But my contacts are less wrong. She lost a fair bit of weight and her hair looks nice and she has big boobs. I wouldn't let her go on top or anything, but it's worth it.

  4. Right, a bit more detail.

    Eat Healthy No more chocolatey stuff. Make my own lunches everyday instead of burger vans. No more boredom-snacking. If I'm bored I'll wank. To fill the empty gap inside after wanking, I'll wank again. I'll eat my 5 a day. Drink more milk and orange Juice.

    Get Fit I'm going to invest in some proper gear for running and swimming. I'm hopefully going to jog 3 nights a week and go swimming once or twice a week. Once I have my own flat I'm investing in some fitness stuff to get muscle levels up.

    Get A Flat & Furnish It Hopefully me and the missus will have a flat pretty soon. We've got a fridge/freezer and a washing machine is next on the list. I'm going to put aside 200 each month for buying flat stuff. We also have about 250 in coppers and ten pence pieces which is going towards a big tv for the living room.

    Learn To Drive Got money to do this from the parents for christmas but some went towards a fridge/freezer and some went on dvds and shit. I have enough left for my provisional and 2 hours of lessons. Going to hopefully save up for a block of lessons and get my mum to take me out. Hopefully pass before autumn. But I could see it being a winter test.

    Put More Effort Into Producing Going to invest as much time (and perhaps money) as I can into producing dubstep and maybe try my hand at some drum 'n' bass. I started a while back but never had time to get into it. Going to try and do it while my girlfriend is doing open university stuff.

  5. Now there's a pet hate. What a cunt. What an utter fucking cunt. He'd probably set himself on fire if nobody was paying attention to him for one second. Cunt.

    I think he's pretty funny. It might just be for money, but to take all the shit he gets from 8 out of 10 cats and Harry Hill, and still laugh at it is not bad in my books.

    Plus I think he knows he's a bell. It's like a film that knows it's shite, so that somehow makes it ok. Like Spy Kids or the first Scary Movie. Guilty Pleasure.

  6. What...the...fuck?

    The "wonga" guy now has his own adverts (so to speak). How long until he has his own show? How did the 2nd most annoying person in advertising history (answers on a postcard) get his own set of adverts?

    While I'm on the subject (of people who are gaining near infamy for having zero talent, little more than a god awful catchphrase):

    Jedward

    Michelle McManus

    Jordan

    Peter Andre

    Louis Spence

    Any of the previous big brother housemates

    To name but a few.

    Feel free to add your own

    I agree on Jedward, Jordan, and Andre. Oh and the Big Brother folk.

    But Michelle McManus wasn't that bad at singing. And she's worth one now IMO.

    Also I think Louis Spence know's he's a twat, and he recently wasn't allowed on the FRONT cuntdown, which IMO was a good choice. He's funny.

  7. Were Alan Carr and McIntyre on the same team? That sounds hideous.

    That said, I've warmed to McIntyres standup, but I can't stand him on panel shows.

    Both the Carrs are wank material though.

    Yes they were. And it was funny. I think mostly due to their reaction to Louie Spence feeling them up.

  8. To put this in perspective, I didn't even know they sold comics. <3

    When I say comics I don't mean Amazing Spiderman #137 or something. I mean Scott Pilgrim, Manga.. and as they put it 'Graphic Novels'.

    I think they have issues of stuff like The Walking Dead and that but most of the stuff is either hardcover or it's collections of issues and volumes. Nice selection though.

    A reason why it can't shut down, WhSmith has a lesser collection and Forbidden Planet's frequent visitors all smell.

  9. Well normally its a couple of comics or a comic and a book, and the free one goes to my girlfriend.

    And by everytime I mean not everytime. Just the times I want to buy 3 books. Other times I won't go in. But I normally want to buy 3 books. I like 3 books. Or 2 comics and a book. Or 2 books and a comic.

    But never 3 comics. My girlfriend doesn't like comics. And if I give her a free book, I don't have to actually buy gifts.

    [/essay]

    I hope HMV doesn't close though.

  10. I really dislike this opinion (not suggesting you have it, like) that a Harry Potter film can't be considered "good" unless it sticks to the book like a fundamentalist. Films and books are different kettles of fish, always were and always will be - you've got to let a director have his creative license.

    I like when films differ from the books in term of story telling. But when good stuff is left out after reading the book I always feel a little flat. Like in the half-blood prince I was waiting

    for an amazing fight scene and a dramatic funeral

    and when neither appeared I was like, oh, not much of a climax

    Snape's the half-blood prince.. right.. and? Where's my fucking fight scene? Oh and they cut out when Harry and the weasley twins batter malfoy.

    I understand films have to leave stuff out. Look at LOTR or even something like Scott Pilgrim, they leave out things that don't have much epicness or great storytelling ability.

    But the stuff left out in HP films should've been put in. Or at least there should've been extended cuts and the likes.
