Aye, my missus gets pissed off when I say things are fine.

People not from the north east are generally massive twats though. So fuck 'em.

What's the deal with some folk thinking 'the back of 5' means just before 5?

3-5 is late afternoon, 5-6 is early evening.

I recently rewatched Eagle Vs Shark. Nowhere near as good as 'what we do in the shadows' and 'hunt for the wilderpeople', but still pretty good bantz.

I've got a varicose vein. Have I made it?

Crowded House.

I was going to ask the same thing the other day.... What the fuck's the deal? Who's gaining from this inane drivel?

Welcome to the forum. If you're not looking for excitement, you've came to the right place.

Cheers.

my only problem now is that my US strat sounds fucking dope but my MIJ neck is a fucking beezer.

pretty sure I shouldn’t go down the cinnibalisation route....

Ye reckon?

I want to see the Han Solo film, but cinemas are a huge deterrent for me. My couch is heaps comfier than any shitey cinema seat.

I never really liked Kef for gigs. The booths were good for a right good tear up though.

It's no secret that Aberdeen Journals are a bunch of dicks.

I'm away to finish a book about gravitational waves in the garden just now - yawn - and then probably start Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy as AGFW loaned it to me.

It's out of my comfort zone by the looks of it, so I may jack it in in not long.

Out of interest, aside from Teabagsy music what other niche scenes are there in Aberdeen nowadays?

@Dan G that travelling sounds fucking brutal. No wonder most Aberdeen bands don’t last.

Sorry pal,can't help you there. The only genre I give a fuck about is Teabagsy.

Blood Guts & Pussy, is the only Dwarves album worth listening to.

The Oh Sees continue to get heavier.

Nothing worse than getting spraffed on by a big pink alien.

Punk is probably as diverse as metal. Are there any bands you've discovered already that you like to aid with suggestions?

Fairly into Irma Vep at the moment.

Critical reception

Brokencyde is widely panned by critics. Cracked.com contributor Michael Swaim said the band sounded like "a Slipknot-Cher duet",^[20] while another Cracked contributor Adam Tod Brown commented on their song FreaXXX "I hate that song so much that I would hold it face down in a bathtub until it drowns if I could."^[21]

British comic book writer Warren Ellis considered Brokencyde's "FreaXXX" music video "a near-perfect snapshot of everything that’s shit about this point in the culture".^[22] A writer for the Warsaw Business Journal attempted to describe their music: "Imagine an impassioned triceratops mating with a steam turbine, while off to the side Daft Punk and the Bee Gees beat each other to death with skillets and spatulas. Imagine the sound that would make. Just try. BrokeNCYDE is kind of like that, except it also makes you want to jab your thumbs into your eyeballs and gargle acid."^[23]

The New Musical Express stated in a review of I'm Not a Fan, But the Kids Like It!, that "even if I caught Prince Harry and Gary Glitter adorned in Nazi regalia defecating through my grandmother’s letterbox I would still consider making them listen to this album too severe a punishment."^[24]

August Brown of the Los Angeles Times writes:

"This 'Albucrazy'-based band has done for MySpace emo what some think Soulja Boy did for hip-hop: turn their career into a kind of macro-performance art that exists so far beyond the tropes of irony and sincerity that to ask 'are they kidding?' is like trying to peel an onion to get to a perceived central core that, in the end, does not exist and renders all attempts to reassemble the pieces futile."^[25]

Good read.

Aye, that's probably the same bit we used to camp oot in.

The golf club always seemed to have plenty of wood about to keep the fire going.  Then there was the dreaded walk to the 24 hour garage....

My chums and I always used to steal one of the flags from The Broch golf course and set it on fire at beach parties. Every week it was replaced, every weekend it was burned.

What hole was closest to the second bomb hole, Lemonade?
