I hate the term "at the end of the day" and when people sign emails off with the phrase "please advise". Drives me mental. -

Ever You Ever Done Anything That You Know To Be Wrong?
capt_birdseye replied to Tony.London Suburbs's topic in The Lounge
My friends and I used to throw ourselves through people's immaculate hedges when inebriated. Gardeners spend hours trimming their bushes, so it must have been deeply upsetting to awake in the morning to find teenager-shaped holes in them. -
Anyone experienced a problem with the shop Mrs Robinson? (Lounged)
capt_birdseye replied to antmcg123's topic in The Lounge
It's a local forum and is read by a lot of people in the local area, so it can give businesses undeserved bad reputations. Fair play to the local businesses, new and old, they have to put up with a lot of vindictive crap on this forum. I for one wouldn't like it if there was a forum where I work where people regaled in pointing out all my faults. -
Maybe there should be a Groundhog Day section. Threads that keep returning to tedious re-hashes of age old arguments could be "Groundhogged".

What about Strawberry Lane/Penny Fields? Didn't that get held off the top spot? Also the Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen was kept off by Rod Stewart's Baby Jane. Is anyone still there?

Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane got stuck behind Englebert Numptything.

I don't think that's strictly true. Maybe in more central locations where there's a lot of footfall, tourists etc that could be the case, but a quick Google reveals they closed 25 branches back in 2006 (can't find anything more recent than that), apparently due to the fact that a lot of their traditional clientele are now frequenting coffee shops instead. Areas where you might assume they would do well have closed (Forest Hill, Streatham High Rd). -
Greggs usually offer 2 for 1 on sausage rolls. They are decent hangover fodder but that's about it. Can I add Luca's sausage rolls to the list? They're pretty tasty too.

And he produced Transformer and Lust For Life, so he kept good company too.

The very first CD I purchased (having been a staunch vinyl man up until that point) was Changes/Bowie in about 1991. A really great compilation, every song a winner, although it never persuaded me to go out and gather all his other work. The couple of other albums of his I later got hold of were down to loving a couple of tracks not on that compilation: Hunky Dory (Life on Mars) and Low (Sound and Vision). Low is a bit weird but lovely, Hunky Dory is fantastic esp songs like Quicksand and the Bewley Brothers. I think that when he hits the heights few can touch him.

I did the free trial of emusic and donwloaded a really good Stax compilation album.

Wasn't Sting in it? I think no more needs to be said on the matter.

Recently read "Shantaram", not impressed at all. Followed it up with "The Road" having seen it name-checked on this forum a few times, and thought it was absolutely fantastic. Now on "The Damned United" which I'm also loving.

I once worked with a very religious guy who maintained that he could provide "evidence" that man lived side-by-side with dinosaurs. When prompted about evolution he remarked "I don't believe in all that Monkey rubbish". It made me laugh and despair in equal measures.
