Inorganic chemistry
Can we have an internet fight?

I could never get on with organic chemistry
Too many reactions to learn. I much preferred subjects in which you could work out the answer without having to remember too much. Which is why I was never much good with languages.
(, Thu 15 Apr 2010, 8:27, Reply)
I couldn't agree more
I've found I usually got on alright with languages, but organic chemistry used to bore the tits off me.

(Mind you, this was A-level chemistry, where most of the lab sessions seemed to involve little more excitement than pouring a colourless liquid into another colourless liquid to create a third colourless liquid...)

naaah this stuff is fun.
And Bartleby m'dear, I like inorganic chemistry too, I just find this stuff more fun. It's all chemical composition and it makes it easier to see why reactions occur. :D

At my level, I only rubbed the thighs of chemistry, rather than got too serious
I did like doing the experiments though, and the inorganic ones were more fun.

Ian Siegal does a good live medley
of 'Hey Bo Diddley' and 'Who Do You Love.' It's a great way to open the set - sends the drummer up first to bash out the rhythm, then the bassist gets up and plays along, and then he just saunters through the crowd, up onto the stage and picks up a guitar.

there are more bands that I'd like to see there than I expected. mostly none of the big acts though.

Ash played Leeds a couple of years ago and they only played stuff from their new album

Why the world rates their shit bass player so highly is a complete mystery. Their lyrics are terrible and their whole whiny white-rap-funk shit leaves me colder than an Eskimo's nose.
