Piers, I dare say that the best rock guitarist in the world, is someone we've never heard of, who plays in local pubs. The best song in the world, is probably something written by some guy we've never heard of, and quite likely, the best thriller ever written is sitting on a publisher's desk somewhere, and will never see the shelves of WH Smith's. Dan Brown and J K Rowling got lucky, just like all the bands that make it, and the songwriters who happen to get heard by the right person on the right night. They then got pushed by clever marketing people. Look at Blair Witch, what a load of gash, but half the world thought it was a documentary!

He'd have been about 10, even Slash isn't that cool! I wish I could inherit his guitars and cash though.

I liked Biffa Bacon, Busta Gonads and his unfeasably large testicles, and Cockney W_nker. Think I mentioned this on here before, but remember a story where Biffa Bacon read that one in 8 blokes were gay, so after eliminating 7 blokes he knew, he decided he must be gay, so let his mates give him a kicking.

I also agree. Champs League for champs, bring back cup winners for cup winners, and get rif of UEFA cup, because it's shite!

I don't mind admitting that I actually rather enjoyed Angels & Demons, which I acttually read before the Da Vinci Code, but after all the DC hype. What is not to enjoy, it's a fun story, and easy reading. Da Vinci Code was dull, and completely overrated. The problem is that people then start talking like the books are literary greats, and that gets up the nose of some people. Harry Potter books are kids books, which then got popular, so increasingly became aimed at an older audience. I personally think they are a good laugh, but again, it doesn't mean I think that annoying woman is some literary genius, more a woman who took an old idea, and expanded on it with some skill.

Or just have less teams, and make it a proper cup competition like it should be.

Yeah I guess that would be better, just a total lottery.

Ganapati is the nuts.

Like it, but alas it'll never happen. Agree it was good to see Babel, but equally depressing to see Macha brought on to protect the lead.

Depressing maybe, but the classics didn't have the media behind them. Who cares anyway Quids, A levels have all been dumbed down, what do you expect?

I was listening to a story on radio 4 the other day with some republican guys talking about the state of the country, and that was pretty much my conclusion.

Ha ha, exactly.

Took your word for it Matt, and watched the lot. You're spot on, it was as dull as any science lesson I remember sitting through.

Agree about those big games, but I'd rather watch Everton and West Ham in a good equal contest, than Liverpool putting 4 past some unknown team from Lithuania or something.

Okay, serious question, how much do people get excited about the champs league group stages these days? I've found over the last couple of years that I just can't be arsed with them. Yes, if the pool lost a couple, then it became a must win situation, I'd probably get excited again, but usually it just feels like playing a load of dull games for the sake of TV revenue.

Age.

Build it under nunhead, there are plenty of expendable people there!

LOL, Sorry Brendan, but Ted beat me to it.

Bloody hell, I remember that, but I was really quite young I think. I've just looked, and it was 85 / 86, so I'd have been 7 or 8. Apparently there was a third series in 94, but I don't remember that at all.

Funnily enough, I was watching "when Keith met Keith last night, which had Keith Allen meeting Floyd. Don't know if it was a hasty addition to the schedule, or if it was meant to be on last night. Keith Floyd asked Allen if he hated the name Keith. Allen replied, it's quite cool, you've got Keith Richards, Keith Moon, and yourself. Then you add Cheggers to the mix, and it all goes to shit! (or words to that effect). That is EXACTLY how I've always felt about it! Anyway, RIP, but not surprising given the way he insisted on living his life, right to the end.

Touching story that.

Quite. However, I met with a guy the other day, who was born in what is now Pakistan, but what was then India (I think he was born in 1946, a year before Pakistan existed, if I remember correctly), but he still wanted to be called Indian. Just one persona obviously, but I found it interesting.

They soon slip away though.
