 HE'S DEAD JIM!
	HE'S DEAD JIM!What are some of your favourite quotes by doctors?
Alt: Worst gig offenders. Who do you think deserves a special kind of punishment for their actions at a gig? Smoking in the middle of a huge crowd. Barging through to their mates at the front with four pints of pissweak lager spilling everywhere. Watching the entire gig through the window of their held-aloft phone. Anyone else?
Altalt: What do you think has no right calling itself a sandwich filling or something someone else likes in a sandwich like mashed potatoes or kippers?

 Most bands don't treat it as an encore so much as a chance to change their shirts and have a drink.
	Most bands don't treat it as an encore so much as a chance to change their shirts and have a drink.I like eels as E always treats it as a joke when he goes off and then comes back on. Then sometimes he waits until the house lights have been on for a few minutes and then comes out and does another one.

 How is it in any way shape or form a pain in teh arse. You have a list of sixteen songs you want to play.
	How is it in any way shape or form a pain in teh arse. You have a list of sixteen songs you want to play.So you play 13 of them, with number 13 being a pretty popular number. You then go and grab a beer, tell each other that you reckon this is going well and then head back on stage and play songs 14, 15 and 16.
I mean, unless there is something seriously defficient about you, this cannot present any kind of problem.
