Dod is short for George.

Dod(es) are found on females.

Female is the sex of the chinchilla.

I'm clutching at straws, I know.

Impressive nonetheless!

Why is she called George may i ask? Also, Chinchillas are ace...

Don't reckon anyone has one they fancy parting with in exchange for some nice shiny pounds?

I play harpsichord with my chin. Guitars are way too conventional.

Can i join?

Guess I need to get myself a band then

I don't know either of you that I know of.

Haha! Yeah someone pointed you out at the moorings once. No idea who mind...

With a couple of rare exceptions, almost all the people I know in person that use this site, I met from going to gigs/being in bands.

Yeah, thought that might be the case.

Just out of interest, How does everyone here know who everyone else is? I only know John W cos I live with him and Teabags cos I always see him at the moorings...

P.S In the Lamb of god live DVD, the bassist(I think) is wearing a "Beardcore" Tshirt at one point

I was sitting on the bus home from Aberdeen yesterday thinking "I'ma start a favourite words thread when I get home..." Bugger...

For me, Koala has to up there.

Twist is my least favourite word. Except maybe Anti-coagulant...

Glassjaw, Thrice, Hawthorn Heights

Not a fan of Thrice by any means, but I can't imagine them being worth hating. They've always just kinda... been there in the background for me.

Also, I have recently discovered Glassjaws first album, which I have to admit I am a fan of. Not what I was expecting from Glassjaw at all.

Bring Me The Horizon. I don't think I need to give an explanation.

Agreed tenfold.

Claiming you're nostalgic aboust something that came out before you were born is ghey.

SNES was released in uk in april 1992. John W was born in on January the 7th 1992. As nitpicky as this is, he was in fact born before the SNES was released. Further, the N64 wasn't released til 97 so John would have had a wonderful 5 years of life to remember the snes being the leading console, from the nintendo line at least. It would also be naive to assume that no one played the SNES after the N64 was released as i still play a PS2 and original Xbox back in edinburgh as I'm too skint to afford a next gen and thus perfectly beleivable for john to have still had the SNES as his main console when he was 9 years old? I feel john has just as much right as anyone to be nostalgic about it as it was the first console he would remember playing.

Unreal gig. Proceed blew the roof off!

Acctually, my spelling is correct.

You see, their name is loosely derived from the latin 'Sha ka ree', which is roughly translated to 'to spell'. Being the jesters as they may well infact be, they changed this in the spelling of their name for subtle irony, which tickles the very best of us.

As i'm sure your aware being that as you may not already forthwith.

Actually they are named after a character from a play that Rou wrote when he was younger named Shikari (the indian word for hunter)... I know this because I asked him when my old band supported them in Edinburgh... In fact, Shikari himself is featured on the album cover of take to the skies.

Although I would like to apologise for my picking on your possible typo in the first place. I was in a foul mood. My bad.

Any airsoft skirmishers on here?

Surprised this thread is so popular actually. I've never really had the balls to post my lyrics anywhere... Seems pretty stupid, i know, but meh!

Heres a wee start I've made to a song. Been struggling to write to this peice of music for days, so go easy.

Dont let the sky outside, fool you,

Its still a fucking cold day,

The sunshine is just another mask,

Blinding and, diverting from the scars.

so predictable,

so irrational,

so irrational.

And I dont want to hear you cry,

I dont want to see you die, in my eyes.

In my mind i know. I'm letting go.

of my grip, on reality

feeling strangely free for a prisoner

Oh and ignore the punctuation. It sometimes seems like its in odd places, but it's more just to help me remember rhythms.

How about a pair of tits or something?

Haha! Winner for the time being i reckon!

Very well done rep

No you're not.

Am I not? Apologies, I was not aware. Had i been aware, I wouldn't have been so foolish as to suggest I was something I'm not.

See I can post useless crap too.

Open to suggestions.

Enter Shakari - Common Dreads

Did you love it enough to look at the front cover for the spelling of the bands name? Or was it just a crap torrent?

John W, in our flat, like... 3 days ago?

Promo for Proceed and Dividing the Lines christmas tour

In France I've never seen or heard of anyone getting ID'd for anything ever. The laws are pretty much the same as back home but they are just more relaxed towards it. I mean, If you really want to get a hold of booze and fags when you're 15 it's easy enough without having to buy it yourself so why get so militant about it to the point where a lot of people in that borderline of-age looking 18-25 bracket constantly have that awkward moment at the counter where they get eyed-up by the assistant. It's only mildly annoying, all you need to do is flash your driving license but still, it shatters your street cred. Luckily I have none to shatter. That said, I've not been ID'd back home for a good while so my balls must have finally dropped.

I feel this is an important point. Our government made a massive deal about trying to introduce a "more continental attitude" to drinking by introducing 24 hour licencing etc. France doesn't have nearly the kind of drinking problems we do. I say, if they are 18, let them buy alcohol. If they give it to underagers, so be it. Granted there will be 12 year old nedling scum off their face on white lightning for a few years on every street corner, but hey! Natural selection through liver disease! And the winner is... Society!

Confirmed it with the missus (the dreads) and she says she remembers me telling her I was going to stab her in the eyes. Neither of us can remember why though.

Also yes, I work in the offices at the end of Candlemakers Lane, so you are correct, cos I don't have a fucking scoob who you are.

Haha! Aye, I think someone pointed you out in the moorings at some point min.

Yeah, I live in candlemakers lane. Thought it was you

Who - John W.

Where - In a dream I had

When - The night before last

Doing - Having a pint with me in the Abergeldie.

NPS.

The most peculiar thing about this last one is that I don't even know what John W looks like.

Was he ugly as sin in your dream? If not your dream was inaccurate...
