I know Avril Lavigne was initially signed as a classical singer but the record company went 'rock her up plz'. All that skater boy shite was just branding.
Although she wasnt the punk rock kid she portrayed she did hang out with a load of skatersPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

She is shit by choice because she is aiming at the shit end of the scale
one of the few singers who puts her voice through a Vocoder to make it sound worse
Proper Jazz singer when the mood takes her

Had a look at the map of the subway system there and got scared pretty quickly. I can barely locate where I need to go, never mind how to get there. Should be a fun trip anyhow.

I have a major problem with stuff that Lady Gaga or say Black Eyed Peas produce over the last couple of years. I don't think they make songs at all, they make some sort of musical noise and put in lyrics that are generally rubbish. I have more of a problem with BEP really as they used to be a really good group back yonder. Not that they'll mind counting their millions.
I think i shall stop harping on about this as i am not making much sense

much like 80% of current big name American Comedians are only using comedy to get into Hollywood/TV
well much like the comedians except even further up her own arse than they are

Originally posted by carlop View PostBy far and away the worst thing about moving to Spain is the bureaucracy.
From what I can gather, to get a job you need an insurance number, which you can only get if you have a job. Throw in a few obligatory visits to various police stations to get random things stamped and it is a real pain in the balls.
How can such a notionally laid back race be so uptight?

She is part of the same circus
All fashion is selling crap to those who lack confidence while wearing a simple black suit yourself
all high fashion is aimed at 30-50 spoilt rather ugly wives of bored millionaires
but im not the target of her music or her "artistic" displays so...meh

WTF
I think the mother should buy a SUV for that dangerous journey.
I remember reading that it has been shown through studies that people who got dropped off at school are twice as likely to be knocked down during their lifetime than people who walked to school
To do with learning smart habits early
neither is that likely btw
20 yards, to a bus without a sweater?
shocking!!!
England is fucked

Is World War Z worth a read?
However, it isnt really a novel, more a collection of survivor stories, there are some related threads throughout as well.
Zombie survial guide is good toilet reading too.
Day by Day by JL Bourne is a more traditional novel. Started out as a blog if I recall correctlyPeople say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Who is in for the IPB Mixed game on Sat - thread here?"I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes art. You read a book and the writer touches something in you that you would not have brought out of yourself. He makes you discover something interesting in your life. If you are living like an animal, what is the point? What makes the day interesting is that we try to transform it into something that is close to art." - Arsene Wenger

No idea if this is actually true, but I just came across this. Irrelevant, but somewhat ironic if true.
================================================== ======
Imagine you have a little robot that holds a pencil. Set it down on a sheet of paper and give it these instructions:
- Move forward 3 units and turn right.
- Move forward 1 unit and turn right.
- Move forward 2 units and turn left.
- Move forward 1 unit and turn left.
- Move forward 2 units and turn right.
- Repeat.
If the robot makes its turns at 90° angles, it will produce this figure:
But, remarkably, if it turns at 120° it will draw this:

You might not approve of her methods but she's basically taken herself from the average girl in that video to an artist that has sold over 12m copies of her debut album and is talked about non-stop all of the back of her own talent and endeavor. I don't think that's the work of someone that's a retard!

There is no doubting what she has done and has a market and been successful, as I have said its all been imo, I just don't like it."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)
