<t>Exactly what audience demographic do the people who schedule Saturday night have in mind? An absolute insult to the intelligence: talent(less) shows like The X Factor and Pap Stars, Pleb Party Special usually with Ant and Dreck or Ian Wright (at least Noel Edmonds is safely out to pasture), repea...

<t>I think that Randall has said it all - speaking as a non American I have to say that, without wishing to cause offence, I found the top post here naive, patronising and borderline offensive in itself; the type of naked jingoism that fortunately we in Britain (and it has to be said most people in ...

Lilac Wine by Jeff Buckley (someone covered it recently, not sure who though...)

"Those smalltown eyes will gape at you

In dull surprise when payment due

Exceeds accounts received"

Love Is The Drug - Roxy Music

<r>I grew up in a small town on the north west coast of England and oh yes - 1992-1995, wish I could go back there! <br/> <br/> Started going out of a night aged 15 in 92 - "no more than four pints and home by one o'clock" (both roundly ignored but both me and my parents kept up the pretence) - drin...

"Filth" by Irvine Welsh. Got over the fact that it's written largely in Scottish dialect by almost hearing myself say the words as they appear on the page (people who've read any of Welsh's work might know what I mean?...)

<t>Can't compare with performing daily royal stoolectomies, but one Summer holiday in my fast retreating Uni days I got a job working telesales for a certain home security company who later had the "honour" of appearing on the BBC's "Rogue Traders" programme. To my knowledge the firm is still going ...

<t>Seem to have a strange little problem with logging into FG at the moment, when trying to log in from the front page I get a blank screen apart from the following message:<br/> <br/> "In order to accept POST request originating from this domain, the admin must add this domain to the whitelist."<br...

Love Bomb Baby - Tigertailz

Heh! Thanks again folks: well I'm 28 (thankyou Diane, v flattered lol!) and the tag comes from the title of a song by Jim O'Rourke (best known as "that bloke out of Sonic Youth").

By the way, my toilet seat is pristine

Gary.

<t>Not in the slightest, to quote Ben Franklin: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both".<br/> <br/> Exactly how will the likes of ID cards, for instance, stop suicide bombers? Does anybody really think that, stopped by the police...

Thanks for the welcome folks - oh I've put a (fairly awful...) photo up in what seemed to be the appropriate place my pic

I think this has worked - for anyone with a relatively strong stomach, this is my ugly mug

<t>Nice thread, glad to resurrect it. I think that last one would be a song by Jethro Tull called "Minstrel in the Gallery" <br/> <br/> Try:<br/> <br/> "And she's lifting and throwing to the wall<br/> <br/> The post natal harmonies of youth<br/> <br/> When this younger man, twenty five<br/> <br/> Ad...

When You Come - Crowded House

<t>Should give you an idea of the sort of stuff I listen to can't put them in any sort of order, but these are the albums I'd cry if I lost!<br/> <br/> We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes - Death Cab For Cutie<br/> <br/> Highway 61 Revisited - Dylan<br/> <br/> Suburban Light - The Clientele<br/> ...

<t>Favourite song ever is Child Psychology by Black Box Recorder, in addition to a small amount of personal resonance I just think that the lyrics are the most haunting you'll ever hear:<br/> <br/> "I stopped talking when I was six years old<br/> <br/> I didn't want anything more to do with the outs...

<r>Hello there from that quaint little hamlet in the shadow of the Pennines called Manchester. About me: well I'm just hanging on to the "in my twenties" tag and work as a marketing manager (for my sins - until reality bit I used to be with Bill Hicks on the topic of marketing, ah well life's rich t...
