I try, Sean. I try.


Indeed, Titch.

Cowell's only worth a piffling ?125m or so. Not quite ready to buy his way into Sony just yet.


In any case, record sales aren't worth much to Simes anyway. His money comes from TV. So, if (like half the people busily downloading RATM) you've spent the last three months watching X-Factor, it's akin to handing the man a ?20 note and then asking for a penny back.

Part of the whole Xfactor product is that the winner always gets the Christmas number 1. If that doesn't happen this year then it ever so slightly damages the brand. Surely that has to be a good thing? Even if it is water off a duck's back to Cowell & co.

We know you like having a go Bob and while it isn?t always ingratiating it is at least intelligent and amusing but now I think you are taking this too seriously. It?s popular music. Whether it?s Jeff Buckley, Britney Spears, the Cheeky Girls or RATM they are all just dancing monkeys.


Ok there is truly independent music out there but they?re just badly paid dancing monkeys with better taste than to subscribe to one of the genres pre-ordained by the big 4.


But taking the piss in an effort to confusticate the plans for a Christmas number one is hardly some sort of organised rebellion against the big 4.


Oh and did I mention, twat.

What have I missed?


*bob*'s first post on this thread cracked me up.


However, Rage DO rock! They did indeed reform a while back, and headlined Reading (I think it was Reading), but in typical, and really rather annoying, RAGE fashion, they refused to have their set filmed, so there was no footage on TV.


I heard an awsome cover of "Killing in the name" this year, by a friend of a friend's band, rolled back the years to being 15 in the New Cross Inn. :)-D


As an aside, Simon Cowell was on Newsnight talking about a political debate, with public vote on specific topics, kind of show. He is a clever man, but it is so so sad, that this would actually be a storming success in todays UK.

This thread is so worth bumping from page 2 of the lounge.


Have you bought your single yet? Why not? Do you want a billionnaire dictating to you what rocks and what doesn't for the foreseeable future? Buy the bloody song then. It's a great song.

I suggest everybody gets out there and buys as many copies of Joe Thingy's record as soon as possible.


Word on the street is that if Rage win, X-Factor will be dropped from the TV schedules and replaced by a weekly two-hour special consisting of Rage Against The Machine playing their pompous musical toecurler over and over whilst a procession of monks set fire to themselves live on stage.

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Insuflo · Posted

      I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?

      Dulwich Gail's bakery will open on Xmas Day in "shameful" move

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...

      Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
