I do like having some stuff in stored away. though I've always been a hoarder. One example I can think of is the first series of 'The Sopranos', which has a mostly different sound-track to later versions. 1984-ish, that stuff like that can be changed, and few notice.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

It's their job, they want to make money (except the trust funded)
Touring is seriously expensive (in relation to size of band/audience)
Musician recently told me of sitting at the table selling merch after a show, two lads come up and spend a good 5 mins talking and asking about new album, thank him for the night and said they will listen to it on spotify when they get home.
Looked like he was gonna puke while he told me the story

All these Hoovers aren't necessarily finished. ....What most of them need is to have new filters fitted or even cleaned out.
Bring the filter out to the back garden and give it a few bangs on the fence, or better still, bring it to the local petrol station and give it a blast of the compressed air. Good as new.
Also, you cannot download "Box -Sets " from Sky unless you have a HD subscription.Last edited by Fiery Wasabi; 12-04-15, 18:25.

I do feel famedon happens upon you and it isnt a thing one should be banking for though. The likes od Dolorus O Reardon is a case in point. She was just a pureist musician and watching the docu in my eyes woudlnt have given a fiddlers if it wasnt going to happen. They way i see it people should be happy being in music without the expectation of anything further happening. I feel the exact same way about stand up comics.

A lot of the most "successful" bands are basically unknown to the general public (including ones fat mike would adore) and make/made their living selling cd's after gigs or small amounts of sales on independent labels.
Without that income, a lot of bands are fucked
But as one guitarist (only slightly pretentiously) recently said to me:
"art will find a way, it always does"
As an aside, Fat Mike has always seemed like one of the good guys, shame his music is fairly shite

GoT S05E01:
SPOILERInteresting opener. Has taken another decent divergence from the book which gives me some hope and some fear. There was more clumsy writing - I was genuinely disappointed that Tyrion didn't finish Varys' sentence for him when said "Not him". Tyrion's supposed to be super clever, D+D. It should have been obvious.
Book stuff
SPOILERI liked Mance burning earlier than anticipated. I'm not sure how they are going to handle this, but it completely changes the dynamic of everything at the wall. John just challenged Stannis' authority in a big way, and he has nothing to shield him from retribution for that. It's a huge change and I'm kind of excited to see how they handle it.

So nobody has any justification for freeloading other than they are entitled to? You are no better than a traveller single mother with 4 kids by 4 different father's freeloading off the state while also getting a slice of her current partners crime proceeds if you stream Game of thrones for free.

Originally posted by Dice75 View PostSo it turns out maybe Pearce is some form of genius obv
Really enjoyed the game today, thought Mata's goal was superb. I can also see United beating Chelsea, fortunately I think Chelsea have done just enough in not dropping points throughout the season. It's a cliche, but all those results they grinded out (today being one example) will prob be enough to clinch them the league. They haven't been as good as expected but have been the best in a bad league this year.
Hopefully next year gets better, City's future is very interesting. They've had a core of world class players (Hart, Kolarov, Kompany, Zabaleta, Milner, Toure, Silva, Aguero etc) playing together for 5+ years now which is an eternity in this day and age. To only have two league titles to show for that is a poor return and it looks like it could be the end of the road for this group of players. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here as it's tough to see how they can improve on the current squad and I don't know if the owners will have the patience to start again and rebuild another squad.

Fair enough Elshambles not that it matters i actually meant Dolores Keane not O'Reardon. Ive only gone to one concert in my life if you would call Gerry Fish and the mug bug club on new years eve in the ambassador if you can call that a concert. I cant call him a party guitar bastard though as i knew what i was getting myself in for so that was only to be expected. Hated it so decided never to go to another one again.

Had the slightly odd experience of having someone rob my gym bag but with them having the good conscience to empty it of most of the valuable items first.
Nice duty manager "We probably have the person on CCTV but won't check unless the guards request it".
Can imagine the Major Crimes Unit getting right on top of the issue of my missing bag alright.Last edited by Denny Crane; 12-04-15, 19:21.
