It was more a case of going because my friend was deperate to see them and needed company. I liked them, but was disappointed they didn't do that song, and it was a weird night for several reasons. Shocked to realise it was over 7 years ago though! I was still in my 20s!!!

It was Feb 2007 I saw them in SheBu. It was particularly annoying because although the smoking ban didn't come in til July that year, the empire had taken it upon themselves to start early, but had no option to go out for a fag, it was stay in or leave and don't come back. I bloody hated that gig!

Myself and out bearded friend went to see them at the Shepherds Bush Empire, it was the same year as you saw them, but a few months earler. I met you guys for a beer before you went to see them, but couldn't face the gig, and was totally gutted to hear they'd done the feckin whale song!!!!!

It doesn't really matter who your manager is at the moment, I reckon I'd stand a good chance of winning the SPL with Celtic right now.

Hopefully it'll keep him out of the group stages of the WC, and he'll be fit and raring to go for Liverpool at the start of next season.

Haha "#whyImvotingUKIP because I can't tell what accent Aiden Gillen does on #GameOfThrones & I don't want us all to speak like that by 2020."

But my favourite live act. They didn't do Mariner's Revenge A.K.A. "The Whale Song" when I saw them. For which I will never forgive them (being as that's the only reason I went). > Beirut, good first album, but ultimately just a > poor man's Neutral Milk Hotel...who by the way > were brilliant last night!! Yes they were, I'm defo going to revisit the album now.

Ulverscroft road was where I did most of my "playing out". Usually skateboard related activities.

Saw the attached doing the rounds on social media. Made me chuckle.

Not heard of most of them, liked that "We are young" song by Fun, Love Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists, and saw them live which I quite enjoyed even though I couldn't name any of their other songs (that gig was my first experience opf the smoking ban, which put a dampener on it, but we'd smoked a big joint outside before hand so could have been worse). I don't know much about Arcade Fire, but I did catch a bit of their set at Reading some years ago and they looked fun. Don't know any of the others.

Houses are very nice but I always found it a bit dull. It's kind of an area between areas, bit like Honour Oak. That's just my opinion.

I was talking about Salmond, but would happily cut and paste for Farage.

If Maxxi wins, England will win the World Cup. FACT!!! (Think hammers - '66 and all that)

I reckon Hansen was pushed. He didn't like Shearer taking his spot as gobbiest pundit and would constantly talk over him and anyone else. Either he left because his ego got in the way, or he was told to leave. Of course I have absolutely no proof of that, but that's my gut instinct about it.

I probably is for another thread, but whilst we're here, from the first time I saw/heard him on telly, well before I was really interested in politics at all (not that I'm THAT in to it these days to be totally honest) I just found myself really really disliking the man. He just stinks of self interest.

Agreed. If he genuinely feels disrespected what's all this "I'll explain after the world cup" bollocks. Great player, but a prick.

I know, people just aren't used to that level of honesty from their politicians.

The media savvy bit is what's annoying about modern politics.

Maybe they're planning on undermining him in the hope that he'll get fed up and fuck off.

Insisting that an attacking coach be brought in is a good sign.

To be fair to the club, it does sound like they've made him make a few promises around style of play, but we'll see... Hopefully he'll be gone by Christmas.

Don't get me wrong, as soon as someone starts banging on about the Zionists and their plans for world domination I lose interest, but I'd not seen "Libtards" before, and that word alone made me laugh (un PC as it may be).

I usually always vote but we've moved and I think we missed the boat for getting registered. But yes, it's important to vote.

That Yaya story is pretty pathetic. But he does seem to have a bit of a "nobody respects me" chip on his shoulder. Come to LFC yaya, we'll all buy you a card.
