Pixies had some good tunes, but I hate the way people talk about them like they were something amazing... They're also one of those bands that a lot of people (and I don't mean you MP) like because they're the band to like, same as Stoned Roses, and that makes me like them less!

i-Pods i-Phones, and blackberries they seem to be everywhere. Every morning I commute into work and a scary number of passengers seem to depend on these things as if without them thier lives wouldn't be worth living or the world would end!!!

I do think it can depend, sometimes overseas travel is a bit naff, but I would love nothing more than to be going back to Australia, or Africa, or India, or many many other places right now!


Citizen, I agree RE Catherine Tate. I do think she's very clever, and has made some good characters, but they are all far too reliant on their catchphrases. Whereas the Fast Show used to have characters with catchphrases that would be used to support an otherwise still funny sketch, CT's sketches will more often than not be totally reliant on the delivery of the big catchphrase.


"What a f**king liberty"

"How very dare you"

"Am I bovvered"


And so on.

The Breeders are/were much better. Check out their old and new albums.

But is the Mighty Boosh over-rated in the first place? Don't know of many people who rate it - well Sean and Brendan claim to, but then....exactly. Harry Hill has been lauded all over and I've never found him very funny. Nevetheless I find him likable. Unlike Catherine Tate.

Re. The Pixies. As a teenager I got my hands on Trompe le Monde just after it was released. I had never heard anything like it. Within a week I had their entire back catalogue and became a bit obsessed with the band. So much so that I had to ration myself to only listen to 1 Pixies album a day.


In my opinion they were the most innovative of the underground American ?alternative? bands of the late 80s early 90s before the whole thing exploded into the monster that was Grunge.


You probably experienced it differently here as the whole thing was kinda overshadowed by Brit-pop. Or at least that is the impression I get.


Funnily I never liked the Stone Roses. I always thought they were overrated and I couldn?t see the point of 5 minute long intros. Over the last few months though there has been a ?best of? album on my ipod and I have actually started to get into them.

      RECOMMENDATION FOR HANDYMAN

      By Charles_HoP · Posted

      I can also strongly recommend Lukasz after he completed some floorboard repairs and some complex repairs to skirting damaged through dog chews. He is responsive, punctual, reasonably priced, detail-oriented and his work is to a very high standard.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Really? Yes you are probably right as I know from personal experience with Guys… as I claiming travel costs back, that no one told me I could claim! Left hand does not know what right hand is doing regarding admin..  If they charged people for wasting overstretched staff in A& E as in not urgent just might deter people from wasting precious time…. But then you need interpreters, to explain if language is a barrier and admin staff to administer..  Correct me if I am wrong but is there not a train from Denmark Hill or East Dulwich which goes to London Bridge? Would be faster than 2 buses I would have thought.    Oh, forgot about Tessa Jowell but thought you needed GP referral in which case, that would be the place to go rather than a bigger hospital. Know there is one in Beckenham and you can call and they will give you an idea as to wait time…..same I hope at TJ…assuming they answer phone.. If one really things about it…too many  people in London for example and to few hospitals…

      Northcross Rd market extra opening days ?

      By bonaome · Posted

      I don’t think it’s licensed for Sundays. It is licences for Fridays, but there hasn’t been anyone there on a Friday for years. So I doubt it. i think there’s a market at the Horniman on Sundays. Also pretty sure there’s one outside Herve Hill station on a Sunday.

      I believe there is a minor injuries department at Guys, though I may have misremembered. Not very convenient for SE22 now the 40 no longer goes near. You have to get 2 buses or a train. Charging people (not sure if you mean financially or legally) would waste a lot more time, I would have thought? And  a bad bruise could be serious, depending on the cause and possibly other symptoms.
