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.

      Excellent New Local Plumber

      By KatieCam · Posted

      Highly recommend Greg from Raven Plumbing & Heating, who I found through this forum. He was immediately responsive, great communication and super speedy arrival time, even on a bank holiday! He diagnosed and fixed a leak in record time. Extremely friendly and professional, made me feel much better about a stressful situation - will definitely work with him again!

      Warning: We R Blighty outside M&S

      By alice · Posted

      I think the thread title is a bit overdramatic there’s thousands of CICs in the UK.  Hopefully, I don’t sound naive when I say that sometimes this sort of set up is a way to reach hard to reach people without the bureaucracy of more formal organisations.

      https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/14349080 Doesn't add much. No accounts. Possibly genuine. Possibly the hard-done-to veterans are themselves

      ED Forum Drinks - anyone interested?

      By Sue · Posted

      We have a place and a date for the first (and hopefully not the last) reborn ED Forum drinks! We have booked tables at The Palmerston on Wednesday 11 June at 7pm, in the area by the window on the left as you come in. It would be very helpful to us (and particularly the pub) if you could PM us in good time if you intend to come, so that we are not reserving tables which won't be used. We will provide labels and pens  for those who would like to use them - definitely not compulsory! Any comments or queries, please post them here or PM me!
