I'm so cool
that last night I was down the pub with the Charlatans and the Horrors. Woo fucking hoo.

But how cool are you?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Wed 23 Dec 2009, 14:27, 119 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

I don't like the Charlatans
and I don't know who the Horrors are

you would if you were COOL.
I don't like the Charlatans either but Tim Burgess is a really sound fellow. The Horrors are a kind of neo-garage rock band. Thay're actually not too bad and have covered one or two garage classics. This means I slightly let them off their fucking ridiculous fashions.

I've drunk with Kasabian (my village has a fishing lake and they like fishing)
but I didnt know they were Kasabian, and I probably wouldnt like their music anyway because all modern music is rubbish and just noise...
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Wed 23 Dec 2009, 14:29, Reply)

first thing I saw/heard about Kasabian
was an article when they were new on the scene and proclaiming they were the best band in the world.

that started my dislike

Really? What a bunch of arsehats
I remember Echo and the Bunneymen had a brief comeback in 1996 with "Nothing ever lasts forever" and the lead singer was adament that they were the best band in the world. Twats. Sure, "Killing Moon" is good, but not much else.
( Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Wed 23 Dec 2009, 14:33, Reply)

Nothing ever last forever was pretty good too
but those two songs are the only good thing they've done.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 23 Dec 2009, 14:34, Reply)

I know
they are pretty average.

I only know Echo and the Bunnymen's version of People are Strange, which is ok, but not as good as the original.

I suspect that if they were the best band in the world I might have heard more of their stuff, given how long they have been around.

I'm very very angry. I'm waiting for the station ticket office to re-open and when it does I'm anticipating a big argument about getting a refund on my ticket. I hope it goes smoothly, but knowing what the railways are like, I'm doubtful.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 23 Dec 2009, 14:29, Reply)

I got this trick....
You know the barrers at the tube, if you put one ticket through and walk through, but keep your hand on the sensor on the far side, the door doesn't close and someone else can get through, so you only need one ticket.

We could do this on the way to BGB's for christmas dinner this year. We'll have to tell aunty barbera that the machine is broken, because she doesn't like that sort of thing. I reckon we could get the three of us through on one ticket. And my Cousen mark is great at spotting people finishing their day-pass, and can score us a bit of H while he's at it.

I once sat next to the band Republica in a cafe in Berwick-on-Tweed.
And I've had a pint and a sing-a-long with Stez Stix from the Macc Lads.
