Have you ever been to a Harvester before?
I went a 'Berni Inn' in about 1982. Incredibly, I found it to be dreadful.
Alt: Apart from the obvious 'hanging' and 'the birch', what, in your considered opinion, should 'they' 'bring back'?
Alt alt: Do you think the reintroduction of National Service would do the nation some good, or is combat-training a load of feral hooligans a fucking terrible idea?

'Love Thy Neighbour'.
My brother has a DVD of that - we were disappointed to discover that it wasn't the jaw-dropping racist classic it is claimed to be. Instead all the jokes seem to be at the expense of the 'honky'. Very disappointing - although hearing someone say 'nig-nog' repeatedly in a sitcom is rather entertaining.

When asked how I wanted my steak cooked I said "Bleu" when it was bought out to me it was medium to well done at best. I complain that I had ordered it bleu and was told that they didn't cook it that way here, I pointed out that my till receipt said "blue" on it and that a well done steak is pretty far away from Bleu and if they didn't cook it bleu I'll have one rare. they bought me out another steak that was cooked medium.

Yep. I only popped in for a drink, and it was as depressing as a bad Wetherspoons.
Alt: Despite being a non-smoker, smoking in jazz and blues clubs. They're not the same without that (artificially created) certain atmosphere.
Alt alt: Bloody awful idea. Sends completely the wrong message to our own citizens and the world as a whole at a time when we're trying to present ourselves as a civilised, peaceful democracy. Though I believe in Germany, 'National Service' has been replaced by a compulsory term of Community Service. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I could get behind that much faster than compulsory military training.

One guy in the marine training program is useless, and is heavily abused, until he cracks. The Sergeant keeps calling him 'Gomer Pyle'

I would argue that the popularity of "golf balls through a garden hose" would be attributable to the film in some small part at least, however.

Agreed on all counts
It really pissed me off that a lot of their songs, notably My Own Summer, went on for at least thirty seconds longer than necessary. And that Back To School nonsense was absolutely inexcusable. You could almost hear the cash registers ringing in the background.

Korn have some brilliant stuff, but a fair few tracks are sub-par.
Shoots and Ladders being the one that comes to mind for the latter.

You'll have to take my word for this

Thoughtless is one of, if not my favourite track by them
Freak On A Leash, as long as there is a decent amount of time between hearing it twice, is fine by me. But it's been so overplayed, it's ruined it.
That's why I tend to prefer Falling Away From Me, Make Me Bad, and other tracks, that while they're well known, they're not often played.

Alt: discipline. Parental responsibility. Community. And dog licences.
Alt alt: National service is a good idea, as long as it doesn't involve the army. There are a million and one community service projects that could benefit from some free labour, and supervising/training the oiks (prefereably with the shock of a bit of discipline) would create permanent jobs for grown-ups.
