  1. One day God calls down to Noah and says "Noah me old China, I wants you make me a new Ark".

    Noah replies, "No probs God, me old Supreme Being, anything you want. After all, you're the boss".

    But God interrupts, "Ah but there's a catch this time Noah, I want not just a couple of decks..... I want 20 decks one on top of the other".

    "20 DECKS!" screams Noah, "Well, OK Big Man, whatever you say, should I fill it up with all the animals just like last time?"

    "..... Yep, that's right. Well..... Sort of right.......This time. I want you to fill it up with fish", God answers.

    "Fish?" Queries Noah.

    "Yep, fish ... Well, to make it more specific Noah, I want Carp, wall to wall, floor to ceiling - Carp!"

    Noah looks to the skies, "OK God my old mucker, let me get this right, you want a New Ark?"

    "Yup".

    "With 20 decks, one on top of the other?"

    "Uh huh".

    And you want it full of Carp?"

    "Indeedy"

    "Why?" asks the perplexed Noah, who was slowly but surely getting to the end of his tether...

    ."Dunno" says God. "I just fancied a Multi-Storey Carp Ark".

    God would never say that............. that is a silly joke

  2. I have to travel from Bournemouth to Watford and then to Bristol. Surely I have the most out of the way detour.

    Why....... did you forget you only live up the road from me?

    I'm certain we could have sorted a lift from Parkstone to Bristol & back

  3. I can deal with special needs, not sure id want the variety your speaking of though.

    And I would like to point out that I was never going anywhere!

    Don't be so harsh on yourself......... you may go somewhere one day, be positive

  4. I'd suggest...........

    'Why Don't You Kill Yourself' by The Only Ones

    Yes they did another track or two other than 'Another Girl Another Planet' ...... but for some strange reason the songs that were more directly about 'Heroin' never get used on adverts........... odd that?

    I may have to look at this more closely and sift through some tracks by other artists for further top yerself suggestions

    'High Rise' by Hawkwind would be another suggestion...... content....... but the track is classic

    Just like you might have been ......On the 99th floor of a suicide machine........ High Rise, living in the high rise..... high rise.... living in the high rise etc

  5. Two more that are not up there in the cheery stakes:

    'Tell Laura I love her', can't recall who by

    'Emma' Hot Chocolate (or Sisters of Mercy, for a real downer)

    1 "Tell Laura I Love Her," Ray Peterson, Decca Records

    2 "Tell Laura I Love Her," Ricky Valance, EMI on the Columbia label

    3 "Tell Laura I Love Her," John Leyton, Top Rank

    4 "Tell Laura I Love Her," The Boppers,

    Take your pick of which version.

  6. Got a free update for Microsoft Exploer 7, and I cant access a fn thing wi it!! :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: is this unusual. got in first time using firefox though :dance:

    No you are not and I think Mircosoft will be releasing some updates pretty damn quick ;)

  7. There should be some metal on the sunday at least, as that has always been the heaviest of the three days, if they don't get at least a few metal acts then it will not do well, as lets face it for more brit-pop style music Glasto is so much better than Reading in every way possible, the only reason reading got big was because of the demise of the donnington festivals like the monsters of Rock, which left an open gap which reading exploited. But the lineups have been getting steadily worse over the years, last year was a shocker, Iron Maiden being pretty much the only descent band there.

    Tool haven't toured since Lateralus, the new album is finished and is due sometime around may accoridng to maynard, it's been five long years but it should be worth the wait, just like with Teeth was worth every single second of the 5 years that trent took with it.

    I'd love to see them go old school style with Donnington at least once, that would be awesome, before some of the bands dissapear. How cool would that be ? a weekend history of metal. I know i'm dreaming but immagine having the three most influential metal bands headlinging the three days, Ozzy (as he started it all, sabbath were the first metal band) Judas Priest (just generally awesome Metal as it should be) and Iron Maiden (arguably the most influential metal band of all time, although they themselfs were influenced by their slightly earlier contemparies Judas Priest). Then pull out some of the best matal bands to come since, Metallica (even they couldn't begrudge playing under any of the other 3 acts, as they owe their very existance to the likes of priest and the NWBHM like Maiden) Slayer etc, Grab bands from the other sub genres, get some grunge there, Pearl Jam, Jerry Cantrell (alice in chains), get some good 90's metal there, Fear Factory, Sepultura/Soul fly, Machinehead, get some really heavy stuff, like in Flames, Opeth get Mike patton there as he is just awesome, nice bit of Tool would go down well too.

    Even bung in some nu metal if you like, and some Emo to get a few of the little kiddies to go. Make them see that when i sit there saying that their favourite emo band play simplistic crap, it's not because i don't like it it's because when you compare that to Adrian and Dave from Maiden ripping through a solo in perfect time together, or swapping playing a solo half way through, hearing dimebag play the solo off The Sleep on cowboys from hell,or hearing Mikael Akkerfeld go from sickeningly heavy death metal vocals in one second to vocals that would not be out of place in any church choir on this planet, or hearing phill Anselmo sing with the sheer anger that only he can, or hearing Danny Carey bang out some of the most complex drum work immaginable. That MCR are just banging out a few power chords with whiney screachy vocals, and people wonder why i think they are gash :blink: Or people who think Trivium are the best thing since sliced bread (i like them and they are good) but just listen to Come Clarity, In flames new album and it is instantly obvious where Trivium get their style from and In Flames simply do it better.

    It pains me to say it but Metal is dieing, not because it is becoming unpopular but it's popularity is strangling the life out of it, it's all the same now with a few exceptions but not enough. When i started listening to metal 11 or so yars ago now, there was not only the wealth of music already about, but some bands were coming into thier prime, not long before Sepultura had released Chaos AD (their defining album) and were about to release Roots, Fear Factory had released the interesting Soul of a new Machine and were about to follow with one of my personal favourite metal albums Demanufacture. Machinehead were releasing a debut album which made me sit up and think "wow" after hearing Burn My Eyes for the first time. Marilyn Manson was actually good, and not so far up his own arse he can see what he had for breakfast. There were a flood of new bands that kept it interesting and were banging out some damn good music. The last debut album that made me sit up and take note was SOAD, which was 8 years ago now.

    If i was in that position now, being 11, not realy knowing anything about the genre in general, i don't think i would be able to get into Metal, because i relied so heavily on the new bandscoming out at the time to find what i liked, i just don't think i could do that now. I don't think there is enough diversity in new artists now, i bought some seriously cack albums in my early ventures into the world of metal, but it was all part of the learning process, now there is so much new stuff that all sounds the same that it's not easy to find what you like unless you know what you are looking for, even i struggle at times now to find good metal, except from bands i know.

    Metal has given me so many memories that i will never forget, like te feeling of being in a crowd of people going mental for the first time when i was 13 seeing Biohazard, or stomping around like a nutter hearing Pantera tear through their songs at Ozzfest, seeing an crowd calm and then just burst into complete carnage when Fear Factory kicked into Shock when i saw them in 97 or so, or the sheer presence of seeing NiN Last july, i have never felt anything like the feeling of hearing Hurt Live, and the feeling i know i will get when i see Tool when they tour. The music has been with me through both good, bad, great, poo and indifferent times, and it just pisses me off that the last metal album of a completely new band i bought was Triviums album, and the rest of the time i'm finding bands that have been around for ages, or just the steady stream of new releases from bands i have been listening to for years.

    The good new music i have been buying at the moment is not in the metal Genre, there is some stunning Drum and Bass coming out at the moment, Dj shadow is coming out with some incredible trip-hop, but i deerly want to be buying great new metal albums, it's my favourite music and one that is very dear to me (well i suppose it has to when i have about 1,800 quids worth of metal albums) but i jsut can't find them :(

    Anyway that was a random and pointless rant, but it was fun :D If anyone made it this far umm cheers.

    Now for me...... you would need to add Led Zep, Deep Purple and Hawkwind....... to make it a good bill :) ?

  8. He was a bit of a visionary wasn't he?

    But why should Ollie Croms take the credit for that? I don't get it.

    They may well be. Does that make OC less of a mass murderer / megalomaniac / pillock?

    This depends on whether you agree or disagree with your statement in the first place?

    As for George Orwell ...... yes visionary indeed but much of 1984 was based on what was happening way before the date that he set for the book.

  9. Do you indeed?

    And exactly what does the author "George Orwell" have in common with mass murderer / megalomaniac / pillock "Oliver Cromwell"?

    And quite how do you manage to be a "harbinger" of these disparate characters' spirits on a football forum?

    Please tell.

    Interesting, very interesting RedZep ....... I may have to spend sometime thinking of an answer to this but are you saying that the monarcs of this country are not or never have been such as you describe?

    The King Is Dead....... long live the King....... or Queen

    :dunno:

    Orwell pretty much descibed life as it has become or is becoming?

    And are our beloved Kings & Queens not somewhat detached from the reality of the their subjects lives??
