Got Advance Wars - Dark Conflict today, very excited.

It is all a bit ordinary, and became more samey as time went on, but they did a couple of good tunes, you can sing along loudly in the shower should the mood take you and they're harmless enough. Best of luck to them I say.

I work up in Camden and quite often bump into Kelly Jones pottering about, especially in the Duke of Edinboro and the late Hawley Arms. Nice lad as it goes.

ha ha, yeah, that'll be the one. So is there no forum after marriage then? Doh!!

Talking of which, whatever happened to Brendan? Has he been lurgified? Get well soon mate.

Rob over at Landcroft House has a knack for finding some great photos

Plus he doesn't seem to take an awful lot of convincing does he. For instance he says it's used in Swaziland to treat "common ailments like cancer, gangrene, toxaemia" Eek!!

It has made the headlines http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=744&Itemid=59

It rumbles on, David Trennick seriously advocating homeopathy to treat HIV, AIDS and Malaria?!? I thought the key line was in Ivan Lewis' response (at 2 in the morning, go that man) "We genuinely want people to have free choice about their health care, but we also want to make sure that the choice that they make is an informed one and gives assurance that treatments meet key standards of safety and quality." The emphasis is obviously mine. *tumbleweed blows* why do I get the feeling I'm preaching to the converted in here? *edit - covered masterfully here http://gimpyblog.wordpress.com/2008/02/20/homeopathic-supporting-mp-david-tredinnick-misleads-parliament-and-offers-staggeringly-dimwitted-endorsements/*

Mali's finest

It was fantastic wasn't it. Not just his enthusiasm, but the way he was able to get stuff across clearly, without a hint of high-falutin' condescension and lots of substance, real genuine insights and musings. Brilliant moment when the lady who lives in the Gaud? designed apartment tells him off for leaving the lift open and he's genuinely aghast that he may have offended this sweet woman who's invited them into her home in this amazing building. And I had no idea about the aftermath of the famous battle at Belchite having been left destroyed as a testament to the lunacy of war. Fascinating move by a military dictatorship frankly.

God it was painful. Watched it with me dinner, and it was embarrassing, not in a funny way, more like the office but without the laughs. Vic Reeves, yeah you were funny once mate, but stumbling on drunk, blithering something not really surreal or funny and then smiling in a self-satisfied smug way isn't really comedy now is it. As for the winners, well, it's never had the greatest credibility has it, but Take That were humble and grateful "37 and a dancer, I've got an arthritic knee and he punctured a lung dancing on tour" said, err, one of the ones that look quite like the other one. Good on them though. Katie Nash, sweet girl, fun songs, but why a half finished album of ditties should beat PJ Harvey's masterpiece?!? Dave Grohl's acceptance speech was fantastic though, deadpan "Wow a brit, Huey Lewis and the News, Lisa Loeb and err I join this great list of winners". Sadly even away from the mainstream Britain doesn't seem to be producing a great deal of note at the moment, most of my recent stuff seems to have come from the US, Canada, Sweden, France and Iceland, with even Mali doing rock better than anyone here. Definitely a low point in the industry at the moment. Rubbish Music, rubbish telly, what's going on? Actually I say rubbish telly, I switched of and watched the Art of Spain on iPlayer, brilliant, please please please Auntie Beeb, can we have more like that.

Love the Irish chain Abrakebabra.

I dunno, anything that keeps Mrs Mockney away from Hollyoaks is fine by me.

I love cross thread posts I've no idea what you're getting at DC, it's all down to the talent ... just like T.A.T.U. Success had nothing to do with the video of two cute russians dressed as school girls frolicking in the rain...nothing I tell you!!

I believe the term is "hat as hail". I take it I am alone in fancying Beadie.

That's the sort of perfect summer's day you'd find in those Czech cartoons from the seventies is it? ;-P Very cool though Incitatus!!

The king of the forum. Can we start calling it to a Keefum?

9 and a half a day for 450 odd days. Ouch. I genuinely tried to cut down, but failed miserably. Still, possibility of new job soon, so forced retirement will be in the offing.

ok genuine modern masterpiece Forgetting the fact that she's gone barking mad under an ugly tabloid scrutiny, tell me that's not a near perfect slice of pop.

top stuff Jah, and quite, quality will out, never mind the era *ahem*

I find wine goes best with cheese. Go on, smell my cheese!!

Totally with you on that Cassius (though I suspect *Bob* was being flippant -gasp- for comic effect), there are some excellent English wines out there, well worth a try. Also with you on the ridiculous number of lazy, flabby, overoaked chardonnays dominating the supermarket shelves. Can't agree that there aren't any. Most Burgundy wine such as Chablis or Pouilly Fuiss?, is exclusively chardonnay and is responsible for some of the best wines ever produced. I've managed to make myself salivate, right I'm off to bankrupt myself

Lets settle on aeon shall we? Tina and Stella, cool tune! Your dad can't have been that bad, mine had some Abba in his collection!! As I'm on a girl power roll (& rock) here's some more across the ages, though I'll try and think of the music rather than my teenage fanatasies Blondie - Heart of Glass *possibly first ever sigh* *stop it* Siouxsie and the Banshees - Spellbound The Sundays - Cry *sigh* *doh!* Babes in Toyland - Hello Holly Golightly - There is an End Taken By Trees - Lost and Found Isobel Campbell - Revolver

Brother Mouzone!!! He's a cool customer for sure. I'd have to go with McNulty, he really appeals to the blithering idiot in me.
