    Definitely better than Lilly Allen

    Moggy

    Actually, quite dangerous to drive to! His skill at the langauage and of the intonation makes the hairs on the hairs on the back of your head stand up.

    Their music is well written and extremely well produced, you just don’t like or understand it. There’s a difference between not liking/understanding something and it being poo.

    Paul

    I don’t understand minimalism, but I know it’s poo. It just depends how brown you want it.
    Yes, Rammy are probably musicians under all that lot, so some science/directed art is used to produce their cacophonous polyhymnia.

    Healthcare in the UK isn’t free either.

    The NHS is paid for through direct taxation. We seldom think of it as compulsory medical insurance, for some reason.

    By the way, people from the USA are often surprised to learn that there is also a thriving private sector in UK health care.

    Well said that man! I pay nearly £400 per month to my “free” health care. However, I do appreciate that some of it is used on research and on treatments that I would not subscribe too if I had to buy my own medical plan.

    Furthermore (I have Dr friends in drug and knife), if all the Private Dr’s did a few hours per week (About 4 was enough) back on NHS, ALL operation waiting time would be nulled.

    On TCM this morning, Canadian Bacon. What a rib tickler that is, I’d never seen it before. Silly but with some deep humour from Michael Moore. The star-studded cast included John Candy, missed very much IMO. Candy had a line in it which I will use forever…….(Whilst loading a Revolver) “Gentlemen, there is a time to think and a time to act…..this is no time to think!”

    Can somebody please guide me to a piece of Hendrix music which actually reflects this so called “Magical” guitar skill? Everything I hear is an out of tune twangy din, occasionally blasted through a fuzzbox….but I am willing to listen to your recommendations and give a valid reflection. He gave 2 or 3 good concerts and died young because he was a druggy, thus martyr to the music fans.
    Duane Allman would be my choice from the 60’s.

    Very definitely “An historic aircraft” with the ‘h’ silent
    Saying ‘A historic aircraft’ with the ‘A’ pronounced as ‘aa’ rather than ‘ay’ and the ‘h’ sounded is something only Lilly Allen should attempt, and preferably out of my earshot.

    Moggy

    I’ve just heard Winston Churchill CD and he definately did NOT keep the H silent in the “An Historic event off the shores of Egypt……” bit. I have heard many a wise and respected English language speaker do the same. Stevie Fry for one. And it’s how I was taught in the early 1960’s, when teachers were actually experts in their field.
    The language will evolve, it always has. When the mass plebians can reach no higher than Corrie or Benders or Big Brother etc. it’s all one can expect. The failing problem of democracy is that the thick outvote the wise so it is now acceptable to end a statement with innit.

    If you want to fit in the crowd, wear a black T-shirt put on some army boots, grow long hair and get a tattoo or 2:D.

    You will be fine over there. Metalheads and rockers are generally nice people
    (I should know, I am one of them;))

    Got a Black T shirt with JUST *UCK OFF in silver letters on it.
    Got Army boots, German paratroop type.
    Long hair can’t happen as I have a proper job.
    Tattoo…..just not my thing. They all look like a sodden Van Gogh after 5 years.

    Now, if they could play music, they’d be even nicer ! :dev2:

    (I’ll go hide someplace now)

    This is a problem. I don’t like metal. From the line up I would only choose Alice Cooper, Placebo and Papa Roach. Rammstein are just visual artists/performers, their music is actually just pulped poo. However, if I’m to sit through 3 days of it I will make sure I find the positive aspects.
