One of the guys in my office is some kind of mental case
3 times today I have heard him say "We buy any car"

no one is sat near him today, and he isn't talking to anyone on the phone.

fucking weirdo.

perhaps he's singing a jingle?

( Lisette von Falcon, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 15:16, Reply)

He is, this thread is over.

(PsychoChomp, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 15:17, Reply)

he's not singing it though
he's just been saying it as if he were relating the fact to someone

this seems likely
he does dress a bit like a misfit detective

He has that stupid advert stuck in his head

Go and talk to him
You'll soon find out if he's a mental or just a silly bastard who recites adverts to himself in an effort to forget what a boring life he has. If he's a mental, get to know him.

I know him well enough
that I know I don't want to know him better.

why dont you try to sell him a car?

dang. Beat me to it.

because I only have one
and I need it
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 15:39, Reply)

not your car
just point one out on the street and ask him how much he'll give you for it
(bazmorningstar efil4nat3b, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 15:40, Reply)

he'll probably say from fifty quid to a hundred grand

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 15:42, Reply)

ANY! ANY! ANY! ANY!

I'm surprised you aren't dead
from having thoughts about that song

I came close to death last night. my mate was listening to paul weller and I found myself thinking "this is quite good"

I'm teetering on the brink
In truth I've had virtually no sleep and am so mongoloid I can barely type. My office is too hot but I cannot take my jumper off because in my confusion this morning I put on a t shirt that reads: 'ZODIAC MINDWARP: FUCKED BY ROCK'.

As retarded as I am, I've never thought Paul Weller was anything other than an utter gaylord. He's also a tryhard tosser - when Death in Vegas did an album of collaborations (Iggy Pop, Liam Gallagher, some other cunts inc Weller), he actively contacted them about being a 'special' live guest. They said no.

Make a t-jumper by cutting the arms off?

(Fancy a weekend on my Raymondo Luxury Yacht?, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:01, Reply)

I like the sound of that t shirt
interesting anecdote there
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:01, Reply)

Weller is revered by blokes(tm) who get their music opinons from Noel Gallagher
and weren't really interested in music until Oasis came along.

There's a lot of boring shit about that wouldn't get the exposure without Oasis.

The Jam were cool though surely?
(Fancy a weekend on my Raymondo Luxury Yacht?, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 15:59, Reply)

No they weren't. Not one teeny bit.
In fact Bruce Foxton in particular is about as cool as 'Dave' Cameron.

The sooner the lot of them are 'going underground' the better, if you ask me.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:02, Reply)

haha, fairplay
Foxton did have one of the dodgiest haircuts in rock.

Round here all the pub singers start with "Town called malice". It's a stereotypical pub-singer song, but it rings true every time.
(Fancy a weekend on my Raymondo Luxury Yacht?, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:17, Reply)

Your point above is most salient.
'Liking Oasis' became an adjunct to 'Liking The Football' for the UK's knuckle-draggers at some point, didn't it?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:24, Reply)

I have to own up to something at this point
when Oasis first came on the scene I thought they were awesome. I was rather young, and was only just getting into music. Subsequently I got hold of Metallica's black album, and through one battered tape of that turned most of my mates and myself into metallers.

Can't stand Oasis any more. It is not something I'm proud of, but I did love them, and not only a couple of albums, but I bought singles too...
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:29, Reply)

We all make youthful mistakes, mate.
Apart from me, obv.

First two pieces of recorded music I bought were 'Johnny The Fox' by Thin Lizzy, and 'The Jimi Hendrix Album'. On cassette, WH Smiths, Winchester.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:32, Reply)

I seem to recall buying a 45 of Queen's Tie your mother down
from a jumble sale for 25p. fucking brilliant

some crappy compilation at some point. first proper album was Levellers' Levelling the Land and See Nothing, Hear Nothing, Do Something (the latter I sold to some mug for £40)

Good old mugs.
Funding the nation's weed habits since 1854....

For a period of about two years, I am ashamed to confess, I used to pinch my old man's records and sell them to a 2nd hand dealer in the town, and from there I would go to a '1st hand dealer' of another kind.

I'm not proud- and I am also really fucked off with myself, because when he moved to the US I'd have got them all anyway, and there were some extreme rarities in there.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:42, Reply)

looking forward to a toke tonight. almost finished off the gear which I suspect had gone mouldy...
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 16:45, Reply)

My brother did that with all my dad's records :(
I'm still tempted by £50 for my other brother's Wonderwall 12" though. I know he doesn't want it. Gonzo??

What I hate
About Oasis/The Jam/Kasabian et all is that if you're a football goer, and not the football goer who wears jester hats and football shirts, but a football goer like myself who doesn't dress like a twat and just enjoys sitting in the pub for hours on end getting pissed with mates (I support Fulham, you're not allowed to watch them sober under suicide prevention laws), it's as if there's a golden rule you have to like them. I hate all of them.

I'm seen as some sort of oddball by the rest of the pub I frequent on matchdays because I think Oasis are brain-dead idiots that make music for knuckledraggers.

I've had this argument a thousand times and I'll have it a thousand more. Oasis are shit and you don't have to like them and other bands for "lads and geezers" because you like football. Go and listen to some Daft Punk and chill the fuck out.

Rant over.

I lost some good friends
by having this argument over and over with them. They had a band and thought themselves the coolest. They weren't.
(Fancy a weekend on my Raymondo Luxury Yacht?, Fri 8 Jan 2010, 17:25, Reply)

Definitely maybe was a blast
And still is at the right moment. After that it went rapidly downhill as the arrogance took over. A band whose lyrics went "You can't be me.. I'm a rockstar" before they were famous can only go in one direction when famous.

'Definitely Not' would have been more appropriate.
