Poison - The Prodigy

With the second coming nigh I believe it?s time to rescue this most worthy thread from the wasteland.

Those things that some forumites put on the bottom of their posts. I don't know what they are called. Footers maybe? TLS has just acquired one (the fireman thing). Beyond irritating. What's the point?

I don?t like the words "na?vet?" and "cynicism". For me they have negative connotations. I try to go through life keeping my heart open but at the same time using judgement and wisdom.

This thread should die a death as quickly as possible. Not clever or funny.

Clockwise. But now, wait.... still clockwise. Any minute now though.

Fat Slags for me too.

I would like to be stuck in a lift with George Clooney. I'm sure he must cook some time so he qualifies.

With dark glasses and heels?

Perhaps an official day of mourning in ED? Now where's my LBD?

Although this isn't strictly theatre, it's certainly very theatrical, so I'm posting here. I went to see Dita von Teese last night, here, and she was fabulous. http://www.casinodeparis.fr/ It was very civilized; we had a little table just in front of the stage and we drank champagne all through the show. I don't even have a hangover this morning so it must have been good champagne. Such a glamorous evening and I wore my favourite Ginas (very very sparkly shoes - probably visible from space). Here are some pictures from the show: http://www.ditasdomain.com/pressreleases/display.php?p=e

Brilliant photos PR. I liked the first one, and the one that looks like a mop head. Px

A friend bought me an orchid for my birthday. I killed it. She bought me another one and I killed that too. I would like to say "third time lucky" but I fear it won't be the case.

Would anyone care to re-up me on Series 5?

When I was 32 I was on life support at Kings for two weeks and wasn't expected to live. One of the best things that ever happened to me.

The Academy was completely rammed at 7.30pm and that never happens - seems like word of mouth got round and everyone arrived early for the support. Imagine the riot if some unsigned little baby band had walked on? Anyway, that didn't happen and Them Crooked Vultures played an hour long set - which is basically all the material they have. I was down at the front with my very tall friend - right in front of the barrier just off to the right by the ladies' loos. They were loud as hell. How is Dave Grohl not deaf? Watching him drumming right up close is an experience in itself. One review I read said something like "Dave Grohl launched an all out assault on his drum kit". That was pretty spot on. He's fast and furious and totally rocks. John Paul Jones is a God and up close I would say he's got a wicked sense of humour - there were a couple of times he seemed to be trying really hard to put the other guys off and was loving every minute of it. I'd never seen Josh Homme before and he looks more like a Welsh rugby player than a rock star - but he was very charismatic. Brilliant night and I wouldn't have missed it for the world. I didn't hang around for the Arctic Monkeys because IMO they would never be able to follow on from TCV. Most of the reviews of the Monkeys said that the guys had real balls to go on. The Monkeys did get excellent reviews for Brixton but I'm still glad I left when I did.

Mark Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > opinion from feedback was that the Lounge has > became a playground and there were no "good" > discussion threads going on any more. Yes that's spot on. The Lounge is a playground and even, as if by magic, a good thread appears, it's a safe bet that the children will run amok all over it by bedtime. It?s just that the Sitting Room is a bit grown up in a scary way.

Yes that annoys me too Brendan. Try tapping them on the soulder. It ususally goes down well. Px

Hey Chuff - and anyone else who gives a hoot - John Paul Jones has just been spotted in Brixton getting dropped off at the Academy! Yeah then. Px

I haven't seen it for yonks either. I live on Silvester. Last time I picked one up was months ago in Cafe Nero.

Rain - Madonna

NME has just added it's name to the rumour mill http://www.nme.com/news/arcticmonkeys/46927

Hello Chuff - I've already had my arm bitten off for my spare so it's no longer spare I'm afraid. I'll PM you my number in case you fancy a drink - I'll be down there tonight by 7pm. If the support turns out to be the Klaxons or the like then I'll be one of a few hundred people heading for the door. The thing is, my intel is normally second to none but I'm unable to get this rumour confirmed 100%. At the moment, I fear that the rumour is just feeding on itself. What sort of pedrigree does your intel have?

AAAAaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggg Very frustrated about tonight. It's STILL only a rumour (albeit a strong one) that Them Crooked Vultures will support Arctic Monkeys tonight at Brixton. I have two tickets waiting for me to collect but haven't invited anyone along yet. If anyone from the forum wants to come tonight then please PM me (free tickets - no charge). You'll need to be able to get to Brixton by 7pm. There is the prospect of actually seeing a member of Led Zeppelin support a group of cnuts like the Arctic Monkeys. If it doesn't happen then you'll need to buy me a large vodka.

Hey Steve - the Donate button is on the very bottom line - far right hand side. I'm happy to send a cheque with a fee backdated to when I first joined the forum. I can even send you some folding-stuff by special delivery! I do have a Paypal account but it is currently frozen by Paypal, which means that I can't take money out. It has a lot of money in it (about ?600). Under Paypal's Ts and Cs they can freeze any account at any time until they are satisfied that you are who you say you are. Interest on frozen accounts (which they keep) is a nice income stream so they are in no hurry to unfreeze frozen accounts. They have a copy of my passport and a current utility bill but it could still be months before I see my money again. I'm not looking for advice here; I've already made the decision that I'm not going to get hot and bothered about Paypal - I just wanted to illustrate the point that Paypal is not a user-friendly organisation. There's nothing benign about them.
