These "Tag Someone" posts are fucking annoying. Been tagged in two today. Thanks "friends", just link my page to a bunch of random spackers. Thank christ my profile is private.

Also, it's filled my news timeline. Facebook has turned into Bebo.

Idiots.

Livin' it up in chat!

Kook, we definitely need to do this. If anyone's going to let their real life name change be decided by a UKFF poll, it's you. You in?

I already know someone that's changed their name to something a tin bit out of the ordinary... sigh.

Also, can I just saying, getting back to baby photos. They don't annoy me so much. It's the "Baby Bump" photos that seem to be in fashion nowadays. Why do you feel the need to show off your minging baby belly? Urgh!

I watched Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close today. Missed about the first half hour which didn't help. I found the kid most annoying. But for most the part, I found it a pretty touching film.

I used to buy a comic in my early teens, cant for the life of me remember what it was - i think it may have been a Punisher comic, nothing elitist, just used to buy it from the local newsagent and inside they had a Robocop comic strip which used some of the TV edits to get around language issues.

 

Anyone else remember that? or know where i could find some of that artwork?

 

Edit: Found it. Fuck me, 1989. I was 8

 

Speaking about Robocop. I used to have the cartoon on VHS. This was the episode I always used to watch religiously.

"HAIL ZAKISTAN!"

I remember the ITV edit of Robocop. Two particular bits spring to mind - when Bob Morton looks into the camera (Robocop's vision) and says "You're gonna be one bad mother-crusher!" and when Robocop intervenes at a liquor store robbery, with the robber yelling "Why me! Why me!" or (in another version) "Fly me! Fly me!"

OMG! I wasn't crazy! Having taped Robocop off the TV and having watched it for years. I was surprised when on DVD the robber was shouting "FUCK ME!" As I always thought it was "Why Me?" I thought I was me going loopy.

 

Me as a 9 year old with my 8 year old little brother (right) in 1998. Standing with James Grady and the Scottish First Division Trophy. I was a fucking gorgeous kid, and look how I turned out.

I didn't realise James Grady was that old!

Devin Townsend Project has announced a gig in Aberdeen in May. Is he worth going to see?

 

In a word, yes.

Was one of the highlights of Download 2012 and saw him in December too. Great fun, and his band is tight as hell

 

He was at Download last year? FFS.

 

Yep, headlined the Pepsi-Max stage on day one. Saw him with Fear Factory and Tessarect in December too at Manchester Ritz. He seems to come over here quite often so you'll have plenty of chances to see him I'm sure, but if the Aberdeen gig is local to you then definately go

That'll be why I never saw him, was watching Slash & Myles. Gigs only

Everyone that I know who has an opinion on Grimshaw hates him. I think he's a total twat.. But he was brought in to appeal to young people and I don't know many 'young people'.

 

What do they think of him? Anyone know?

 

Sorry to go off topic here but I was wondering this the other day..

 

Forgive me for sounding old and all that, but... that ad on BBC 1 for Grimshaw and his Clique... that IS a pisstake, right? I mean, they're sending themselves up?

 

I'm assuming so, because otherwise it's the saddest thing I've ever seen on the Beeb. Even if it is a sendup, they STILL come across as tossers.

That's Radio 1 for ya... Pre-Grimshaw days in my opinion as well!

It depends really. I'm the youngest in my office, but I can't stand him. However the other "youngsters" seem to love him and radio 1. But that's a moot point as they are mongs anyway!

Any documentaries anyone can reccommend on Netflix? I'm feckin bored!

Amazing.

Kind of like the Masoods do Jumanji.

 

That's such possibly the most fantastic summary of a film I've ever read.

As long as it's the happy, comedy Masoods and not the family in crisis, Masoods, then I should love this film! Going to see it soon anyways I do believe!

I know it may not be of any awesomeness to you guys but it is to me. I've finally found videos of the high pitched voice guy from my trip to the Everglades during my WrestleMania holiday earlier this year. Boy was more entertaining than the animals!!!!

Watched Grizzly Man last night. Boy was a bit of a loon was he not?

Is there a good way to deal with the constant ad pop ups that appear on the likes of firstrow website, etc.?

Went to see Paranormal Activity 4. I think that was a mistake. I've never come out of the cinema so underwhelmed.

For a film series that's billed as "shock, jump, fear" I was left severely disapointed when I didn't feel any fear or was made to jump at all.

There was also some bits of the plot that could be better explained.

Pfft. Hope my next trip to the cinema will be better than this one!

Any streams?

Yeah well you were fucking wrong, so ner ner ner.

 

Or Jenna Fischer.

 

You keep your fucking hands off her or there will be trouble!

 

She's old enough to be your mother!

And your point is...?

Yeah well you were fucking wrong, so ner ner ner.

Tremonti - All I Was Album Stream

 

It's better than I expected.

 

 

I missed this post in amongst the Green Day stuff, this is pretty bad ass. Not reinventing the wheel by any stretch, but Tremonti is a killer guitar player and a good songwriter, this is good. I quite like his vocals too, surprised me there. I'll pick this up next week.

Yeah, I've grown to like it more. My favourite album of the year so far.

Here is his debut live show. Not too shabby.
