Yes, that was a good one! Question, the American in that clip….Frasiers Dad?

My favourite Steptoe’s were the central heating fitting (Collected from a school). 3 inch diameter pipes all round the house..6 inches cut off the doors to let them in! The hot water even went through the four poster bed!
And who can forget the room being divided in two, with the telly right in the division. Son. “Turn over, I’ve got my rights on my side” Dad..”I’ve got the nobs on my side!” Class.

Oh, and when he crimped the edge of an apple pie with his false teeth. And dropping the pickled onion in the bath (He was in it)….and of course fishing it out and eating it. So many classics.

Seeing a 30 stone man squash into a tiny Helicopter ride at Legoland Windsor. The safety bar wouldn’t get anywhere bear the lock position, he had to squash bits that hadn’t been squashed! He was so big and ugly, he could be a runner for South Africa!

IMO most bands lose their edge once there is food in their belly. U2 never bettered the early 2 albums for example. As for Oasis, I’ve been a long time fan and they were sliding for some time. They bounced back with Dig Up your Soul, but that raw edge has gone.
Noel is the better writer amd singist, his charity album (With Paul Wella as guest) is a superb testiment to his acoustic talent with the geetar and the singing. It was a free album with the Sunday Times IIRC, so don’t feel guilty about downloading it from a torrent site.

whenever angry…resort to jazz! 😀

I am personally banned from adding lyrics to the sessions i do with other musicians. 🙁

Check?
Do you mean you write the best Jazz stuff when angry….or Jazz helps temper the temper? Latter I presume.
Music is part of a human’s psychy. It has all sorts of affects on our mood and behaviour.
A bit of Chike or even Straussy will send me to sleep. Obvious (For me) the progressive Trance gives enough rhythm to do chores or just listen to the sounds. I often do my MS Excel work with Tiesto on the MP3. Not my reading stuff, that needs some thought.
Decent british rock, like the Who, puts me in a mood where anger is needed, like before a sporting event (Taking part not watching!). If one creates the anger, gets the heart rate up to 145, it’s easy to control and channel.
American (So called) Rock is generally “Big Hair” rubbish. Early to 1975 ish Alice Cooper was OK though.
My personal fave lyricists are Lennon, Morrisey, Smokey Robinson..loads more actually but htese spring to mind.
……and yes, I realise Morrisey lyrics are full of angst but they have style and intellect. Cold Play is miserably written misery.

OS…im not actually a big fan of coldplay, i preffer metal and screamo music

but i find that if im having a tough time, i write how i feel and most times it turns into a song

just the way i de stress really

Yes, I realise that my anti Coldplay stance could be read as anti you 3. It wasn’t and if it made offence it wasnee meant to. I totally realise that, for example, you can’t sing the Blues unless your inside looking out. Some of the worlds best songs have been written when such crap-in-life has been captured by the written word.
Coldplay are still **it though. G’night.

Bloomin NORA.
You are all suffering from Coldplay itus.

She’s left me, it’s all shyte, no future, nobody loves me, I’ll commit suicide, it’s all gone yellow, i’m in pain (Yawn!).
No wonder some touth of today are topping themselves!
Colplay, the most over-rated group the UK has ever produced. How they made any money is beyond rationale. There are actual musicians out there that are skint, and this lot are rich…sheesh.

Wake-up rant over, time for a pint of tea and half a tube of Rich Tea biscuits! In bed!

So much for the so called WAR ON TERRORISM :mad::mad:

Libya has already helped us (UK and USA and Israel (By proxy)) kill a few of the scum.

At the welcome party at the airport, were there any of the Libyan politicians/Caddafi family there or was it just the Muslim fundaMENTALists?

It looks fake to me, and there are two things making me think that. Firstly, the angle of the ramp seems far too steep for that amount of distance to be covered. Secondly, as Old Shape says, there’d be nothing left of a real person hitting such a small amount of water at what surely has to be more than 60 miles per hour.

So yeah, my guess is fake!

I had the eggheads and aerodynamicistssitsistssssits lot at work check out the Angle of the jump-off. They said that it was near perfect…..but the run down would need to be 50% longer to achieve the flight distance, which they guessed at 100 feet (By scaling from the “Man” in the air).

Extremely clever though.
