Me And My Arrow- Nilsson

Woof, now you know that is wholly inappropriate, especially the last comment. It belongs in the recent 'Dog smoking a pipe' thread

Eyes- Sheila Chandra

World Shut Your Mouth- Julian Cope

No Woof, it's about a massive rep for artists without a decent body of work to justify it- not the odd dodgy song. How much is that doggy in the window? The one with the waggly tail. How much is that doggy in the window? I do hope that doggy's for sale...

When a song attempts to be a 'tour-de-force' (as many Springsteen songs do) it'll sound over-blown and pompous should it fail to engage the listener. And the more elaborate the production the more pompous it'll seem. Contrast 'Thunder Road' with another song on an epic scale such as 'Sympathy For The Devil'- the pared-down sound induces the kind of visceral reaction that Brucey could only dream of, without all the faffy production. Still, it's all down to personal preference though. Ooh, 'ark at 'im comin' over all 'Drawing Room'!

In some cases there's a conflict between an artists social/cultural significance and the quality of the work- Dylan, specifically. Though there's no denying the quality of his acting work. 'The Magic Roundabout' in particular.

Of course Chris Martin. How could I forget after the South Bank Show feature at t'weekend. And Melvin, what were you thinking?

Musical ones, specifically. I recently reacquainted myself with Springsteens 'Born To Run' album, on the basis that he must have just lost his way and there was some spark of genius, or something, there once. No. Pish, and always has been. Van Morrison falls into the same category. Mediocre songs sung in a mediocre voice. And being grumpy does not equate with being soulful. And that Jim Morrison, he's another one...

"Replicator, I'm an obscure never-seen-before member of the Enterprise crew about to be beamed down to the surface of that unexplored planet with Kirk, Spock and Bones. My chances of survival are not looking great. I would like todays uniform to be bullet, laser beam and alien proof please..."

No, they prefer their tobacco in the form of snuff. They've clearly evolved the snout for it (their rate of evolution being accelerated by possession of a 4 headed penis).

Drinking four pints of Stella can transform a man from 'okay' to 'fine'? Why did no one tell me this twenty years ago?

Tears Are Not Enough- ABC

By the way, your thoughts on stucco as opposed to modern acrylic-based renders would be greatly appreciated.

Cool, JL. Can you help me get the lid off this jar of pickled onions- it's a bit stiff...

That's the fella. Always seems truly enthusiastic about the food, rather than bolstering his own celebrity. You're right about that little git Chalky though- probably took his name from a Jim Davidson 'joke'... "There is a vegetarian option- they can f*ck off!"

Most married men would agree that their wife is the boss Moos

No mention of wotsisname, y'know, cooked fish a lot and had a dog called Chalky. I genuinely can't recall his name.

Whereas Marco Pierre White would probably do you in...

I dunno though, weren't the Tolpuddle Martyrs working at the Irn Bru bottling plant? (Obviously Brendan would be our most authoritative source of historical information)

A long battle, surrounded by his family and friends? Just how big was this bird that killed him outside the pub? And if even his nearest and dearest couldn't be arsed to pitch in and help, that makes him a wrong 'un in my book.

While you're busy debating lift-shares with chefs, those two wrong'uns from 'Masterchef' are probably busy robbing your house. I mean, just look at them...
