hmmmm.....telling that the 2 dogs came first in that list. 

I have a nice chunk of stilton in my fridge and a wonderful wife.

to be fair, Dogs dont tell us to do the dishes. 

finally got round to watching 'hunt for the wilderpeople' it was surprisingly good, I like it when I see a movie that isnt a rehashing of the same old story we've all seen a million times. 

Rhys Darby is always hilarious & Taiki Waititi's involvement made me go back and rewatch 'what we do in the shadows'  fucking love that film

The Collection: Guy breaks into a house, realizes there's a crazy murderer already in there with the family as hostages, can't escape coz the house is booby trapped. Like a really grim Home Alone. A bit senseless at times but gory as fuck in a good way.

I saw that a wee whiley ago, was pleasantly surprised

Ha! aye Repugnant were decent, he did a bunch of projects but Ghost is the only one that blew up. I really liked the first album, the output since then has been patchy, some ace tunes, some terirble. I get why folk dont like em but diffrent stroeks n ah that shite. 

none o this has owt to do with the Deen though... back to bashing MMW?

 but how many boda fide rock stars have come out in the last decade, who could live comfortably purely of releasing an album every few years and touring every now and again... Mastodon at a push? But I guess they've been established for the best part of 20 years now.

 

Ghost are the only band I can think of that might fall into that category, they're massive just now. Cant say im a fan of the new album, But they must be raking it in. the sheer amount of merch they produce is almost on par with KISS nowadays. Id imagine mr Forge is living pretty cushty off of that alone. 

but aye, Making a living off playing music alone is pretty much a thing of the past

Is the Tunnels still a thing? Been to many an empty midweek gig there. 

People talk about the early 2000s music scene as being amazing, which it was, I was there and part of it, but although there were loads more bands and a lot more enthusiasm, the same problems existed then too. I played to half-empty Dr Drakes or Lava plenty of times in 2001/02.

aye its still there but its heavily geared towards DJ nights, the odd rock/metal gig still happens but they are always horrendously underpromoted. ILast time i went to one a band that i saw play a sold out venue in Glasgow play to 12 people ( including the 5 members of the support band) in the tunnels a week later 

That band Cold Years seem to be doing well for themselves, They just did a few dates in Germany.. other than them theres not much outside the Teabagsy scene.

from my experience its pretty much a circuit of Musical vision - Drummonds - Krakatoa on loop then the odd trip down to Edinburgh/Glasgow when the work schedules line up. its shite.. even Krakatoa is less of an option now cos if your a local band looking for a gig between June and September they're gonna want you to do the Battle of the bands thing which is fine But 3 summers in a row of bands not getting paid for gigs is a bit much. 

On another note, getting folk though the door is nigh on impossible. look at Full metal haggis, Captian Tom put on a sick little 2 day event, heaps of bands, reasonable prices and a bus going to a from the venue.. nae cunt showed up. when questioned why 'there's nae that many good bands on the bill' 'its too far' ' i cant be arsed' ...abysmal

I Oh, and then when BrokenCYDE took to the stage, they would go "we ain't playing the next song till the girls take their tops off!"

 

they said that to a crowd mostly made up of people under 16, accompanied by parents.. Absolute trash. 

that doesnt surprise me at all, was there not a big scandal about them being peadophiles?

also lol at 'crunkcore' cos Crunk wasnt quite bad enough already

Nah, it wasn't him. I know who you're on about. This was well before his day, probably 12-13 years ago.

 

ah my bad. tragic that there's more than one story of this ilk.

Me and my chum got propositioned by a dude on Golden Square yonks ago. Clearly a junkie, he explained to us he'd been "selling his arse all night". It seemed like he was trying to guilt trip us into bumming him or something...

that guy was most likely Daniel. sad story, he used to skate with us back in t' day. he was a good guy but started partying too hard and ended up on smack, selling himself for money to score..usually at golden square. he died a few years ago he was only like 22

Back when I worked on the Green my first human interaction on Saturdays was almost always a 'Lookin Fer BIznessss?' query. so grotty

does anyone know/remember the old guy who always wore a 3 piece suit and rode the westhill bus from woodend to union street. dude always smelled horrendous and had hair like a balding homeless version of Einstein.. last time I saw him I was waiting for the bus home and saw a wee bam drop his MAccyD's burger on the floor, him and his wee bam mates then spent the next few minutes gobbing on it then buggered off. Along comes stinky einstein who without hesitation picks the soggy burger up and munches away on it as everyone at the bus stop watches in horror.

stumbled upon this thread today.. any updates on new celebs?

I heard Wobble head bob died.. RIP.

Is crazy Martin still lurking? I think he's a good guy, he invited me to his Dad's BBQ when I was like 14.. I always felt bad for him, but I did see him smack some junkie woman in the face with the grip tape side of his skateboard on Westburn road a few years ago so yknow swings and roundabouts

I stayed in Bucksburn for a while and every tuesday night rain or shine, I saw some dude rollerblading with Ski poles towards the haudagain roundabout in full 80s neon yellow. any one know his story?

Not exactly PC, but funny nonetheless....... (NO offence meant to the Irish)

Paddy and Mick go to London to donate sperm. It was a disaster! Paddy missed the tube and Mick came on the bus!

A Muslim was sitting next to Paddy on a plane. Paddy ordered a whiskey. The stewardess asked the Muslim if he'd like a drink.

He replied in disgust "I'd rather be raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips!"

Paddy handed his drink back and said "Me too, I didn't know we had a choice!"

Paddy calls Easyjet to book a flight. The operator asks "How many people are flying with you ?"

Paddy replies "I don't know! Its your f***ing plane!"

Two Irish couples decided to swap partners for the night. After 3 hours of amazing sex, Paddy says "I wonder how the girls are getting on"

Paddy takes his new wife to bed on their wedding night. She undresses, lies on the bed spreadeagled and says "You know what I want don't you ?"

"Yeah," says Paddy. "The whole friggin' bed by the looks of it!"

Paddy and his wife are lying in bed and the neighbours' dog is barking like mad in the garden. Paddy says "To hell with this!" and storms off.

He comes back upstairs 5 minutes later and his wife asks "What did you do ?"

Paddy replies "I've put the dog in our garden. Let's see how they like it!"

Paddy is said to be shocked at finding out all his cows have Bluetongue. "Be Jeysus!" he said, "I didn't even know they had mobile phones!"

Mick and Paddy are reading headstones at a nearby cemetery. Mick say "Crikey! There's a bloke here who was 152!"

Paddy says "What's his name ?"

Mick replies "Miles, from London!"

this could be the plot lines for an entire season of Mrs Browns boys. 

that show is truly terrible

KISS, KISS and more KISS. 

And now so am I, Good shout!

agreed GAME OVER, MAN' is way better and dickier than expected

Went to see A QUIET PLACE in the cinema, it's pretty damn good! the stairs scene is boak inducing. good jump scares and an interesting  if slightly nonsensical premise, the ending was a little too Marvel for my liking but its a solid modern horror

Also LIFE has been added to Netflix, easily one of my favourite comedies, Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are bootleggers framed for murder in 1932 and do life in Prison. 

on the topic of face tatts and shit rap - what an absolute skud.
