Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Well c'mon Al ,,your not really a fan are you !! what about ,i'm going to leave old Durham Town ,,classic ..

Sorry mate. I have been neglecting my Roger Whittaker studies for some time now in favour of smearing my testicles in crab paste and dangling them in our local pike pond.
Still think Paul Weller is the top man though.

alan, not going to disagree about paul weller, a true genius proved by his sustained acclaim in the industry and constant, successful reinventions. but i don't think you should dismiss writers like bowie, or others in europe who have had similar careers. also , there have been one-offs, like jeff buckley, whose music will always be around.

LOL Al' , well i've suuffered enough abuse on this thread for one day ,,,,actually i was feeling a bit left out ,i never seem to get any ,,i'm thinking of coming over to the SEO thread and talking to Blinger .

Not dismissing Bowie, Townshend or any of that ilk. I just think for absolute musicianship, Weller takes some beating.
His songs are so beautifully orchestrated and intricate in their construction and yet such a simple melody is the end result.
You're right about the re-inventing though.
Listen to In The City (single), Cafe Bleu (album) and English Rose (All Mod Cons album track) and you wouldn't believe they all came from the same pen in the space of about 8 years!!!

Don't mention Bling to me, Jimmy.
I've recently posted a public apology to him and that was not the easiest posting I ever wrote, believe me!!

i'm sure he can afford more than one pen after all the hits he's had ;)

home ill today . heating's on but i'm bloody freezing. i want to go back to bed , but the lady wants to go look at cars!!! how the hell can you negotiate with a car salesman when you feel like someone's taken a baseball bat to you and you've got a stream of snot running down your nose?? women just don't take man-flu seriously.

Why's that Al ,,,apology to Blinger ? why would anyone do that ,,i havn't been reading it of late.

Bos tell her you've made appiontments for Monday ,,it's special deals day ..

Blimey and Tuesday was gorgeous and sexy day.
Hope you can cope, Alan.

I think I went overboard on the vitriolic venom!!
In truth I wanted to attack his arguments for his position but since he never actually puts forward any arguments I found myself attacking him!!!
Not that I am bothered too much about his feelings, but I really hate people using these boards to hurl vile abuse, and thats what I ended up doing!!
So no more abuse................twat

I know what you mean Al, some of the threads are pissing me off too ,you homless persons scab .

G. Souness has been fired as Newcastle manager RNS just out............

Any1 care to apply for the job ? very good severance package offered........

I'm not taking a substantial pay cut to be abused by a load of Geordies, no matter how good the severence package is.

I'll do it ,as i know absolutely nothing about football ,i'll probably be quite good .

First lesson jimmy.
Football is a game played by 22 men and 53000 referees

Jimmy
Dont let the threads piss you of visit my ERT for some quiet relaxation, PS erics back in town.

Al ,that pitch must get very crowded ,no wonder all the players dive so much ,

driver ,i'm coming over..

i must say i have some sympathy with mr souness. i dont think he was ever accepted by the newcastle fans, inherited a squad full of idiots with discipline problems and had a horrible run of luck with injuries. at least now we shall see shearer put his god-like status on the line. looking forward to seeing him fall flat on his arse.
