NEW OFFTOPIC THREAD
I bought a new belt today and discussed marketing strategies with the owner of the skate shop.

So, tell me, O fellow B3tans, who would you rather garrotte with a piano string? Jamie Oliver, Damon Albarn or the man that invented concrete?

Oliver all the way.

can you imagine walking over cobblestones with high heels?
yikes

i can't walk in high heels at all
I would just twist all my joints. Including arms

I've only ever tried it once
I was about 10, and taking part in a comedy sketch dressed as a woman.

it's not that hard
if you walk slow
and on concrete
hardwood and tile is difficult because it's slippery

It's not so much the stones themselves that are the issue, it's the gaps between them.

The man who invented concrete is long gone
The ancient Romans used concrete.

It's a very specialised seafood retailer

Ring Ring.... Hello [shop name with the word 'skate' in the title]..... Yes, we're very open, except george, he's a bit reserved about it.
Ring Ring.... Hello [shop name with the word 'skate' in the title]..... (are you open?), "Only when our staff is in".

Along with, and I was 8ish here, sending me out for things that are impossible, such as tartan paint.

They would do well to advertise with us.
Will accept free shit for putting two and two together.

I'm joking, but I guess it could be serious.
Gaz us and I'll let you know the details, but our relivent website hits around 5m/month.

Oliver
There's enough good chefs that are less annoying that he won't be missed.

Why don't people like Jamie Oliver?
I'm not really jelous of other people, it's not in me, some people have good cards handed to them, others bad. Some people get a whole game with good cards, others get a few rounds.... ditto with bad cards.

But if I was to be jelous of anyone, it would be him. I have so much respect for that man too.

Because he's a Mockney twat who's tongue is too big for his mouth?
Possibly? Or it may be all that affected 'geezer'ishness that gets on people's tits.

What's that Blur song that has "boys who are girls, who are boys, who dig girls" etc. in the chorus?
It was on the radio this morning and it was bouncing round my head for the rest of the shift. I keep thinking it's called The Boy Girl Song, but that's by Aphex Twin.

Girls & Boys
by the way, cheers for the randomburn CD, was ages until I got it due to the porters being rubbish about forwarding mail over the hols

Hooray!
Which one did I send you, there were five different ones.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:05, Reply)

errrm.... lost the track list...
2nd song is Mr. Scruff - Fish,

That's the only one I can recognise on a quick flick though (though I'm very un-musical, so that's not too surprising)...
( Tedium Alduce me to interlow myself., Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:11, Reply)

Yeah, they were all haphazard mixtures of reasonably well-known vs. obscure, loud vs. quiet.
You got number 1, there's no nasty surprises on there.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:39, Reply)

Both are decent chaps.
And if you ignore Blur's shite Britpop output, Albarn could be considered a genius. Although admittedly you could argue Coxon was just as responsible for their better stuff.

No, Blur are terrible from start to finish.
More mockney than Jamie Oliver and bigger genre tourists than Bowie and Radiohead.

And just generally, you know, shit.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:26, Reply)

Like I said
Parklife (the song and the album), as well as The Great Escape, were both utter pony. All that Britpop nonsense was.

However, Modern Life Is Rubbish, 13, Blur and Think Tank are all ace albums. As is Coxon's solo stuff.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:29, Reply)

They have Alex James and Damon Albarn, two weapons grade cuntpieces, in the lineup.
I have always been with Mogwai re. Blur.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:30, Reply)

I only dislike Alex James because I am insanely jealous of his escapades.

(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:35, Reply)

I dislike him because he is a weapons-grade cuntpiece.
Capiche?
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:37, Reply)

Sounds like you're jealous too.

(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:43, Reply)

Nope.
Blur made their name by sounding like other bands, being class tourists and smug fuckers. Not an original musical bone in their bodies, and their vocalist, in every interview I've seen him do, comes across as an utter arsepiece.

Everything they do is ripped off from someone else.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:45, Reply)

If I was in Blur, shagging doris' non stop whilst having access to an unlimited amount of bugle I'd be a smug cunt too.
I wouldn't disagree that their music isn't entirely original, but it doesn't mean it's not any good.
(Barry from Eastenders is, despite the words written above, not a woman, Wed 13 Oct 2010, 20:49, Reply)

It goes halfway toward not being any good.
The other half is the smug shitness.
