I read this a couple of weeks ago but as it was in the paper it's proberbly shite anyway .
-
We should thank our lucky stars its only 4p! Before the budget when over my parents I picked the paper my parents get a couple of times (the daily mirror-usless rag but i digress ) and they were running stories about cheap drink and of course the problems that 'go with' it, IE chav scummers booze d up and City Centre yobs (the latter always there, always omni present if the papers are beleved ) (To parapharse the Mirror 'Crates of Carlsberg from tescos that equate to 6p a can discusting!', £1 for a G&T at Weatherspoon evil!'-(Ah yes Mirror, G&T the choice drink of middle aged woman everywhere, the scouge of our land ). Now what this boiled down to is the paper wanted a higher tax/or higher pricing on booze (and I dont think they just meant tennents super stength here) to help combat its ills, of course completely glossing over the fact this idea also punishs the majority of all drinkers over 18 that just enjoy a drink or (god forbid) a few and dont cause any bother at all. Taxes effect the rich less of course, I wonder what the average salary of a fleet street Reporter is? hmm God forbid we get a drink without paying though the nose for it! Of course the paper suggesting harsher punishments for those who cause trouble on drink or greater powers for the police must have been too fair an idea for them. This may not seem to be the most important thing to put so much thought into but never under estimate how much power media has in/over politics that can effect us all. Jesus right now im glad I dont drive

Net from BT? now thats something that is a terrible thing IMO (Seriously though) Fair enough mate Oops, in my case I just mis-read the post Mikey (sunday morning read, few beers and late night on Saturday) lol.

Censorship for consenting adults, when the content is within the boundries of law = wrong. Ponders... It seem we have more freedoms than ever, yet the govenment and other organisations are now are more eager than ever to interfere with them or take them away and people are letting them now more than ever..sad.. Still looks like its down to the newsagents to buy some jazz mags for you mate This is just one more part of the nanny state (and im being serious there).

Ever felt that you're inches away from creating something... truly awe inspiring?
Pete replied to Supergrunch's topic in General Chit Chat
Jesus!, you can be negitive you know. From posts you've made in the past you sound like a smart person but your attitude towards society and humanity can be very... glib lol (from what ive read, and I could be wrong, I dont know you), Hell theres non more cynical than me but I also like to think I can see the possitivity and the good side of things, sometimes I just dont that from yourself. Anyways Im sure a lot of the great art has been created by people feeling this way. To Supercrunch - I feel this way a lot as well,l I think that you are using this feeling to motivate your self to do 'small' things is a smart thing, If you can use to try and great something bigger, go for it, it could be very enriching to create something. By the by I keep thinking maybe Ill learn to play my acoustic guitar better and then attempt to write some songs or write a screen play for a movie or TV show, its nice to have pipe dreams. -
Your doing the right thing 100% standing up the police and also getting legal advise, good luck and choice very well made IMO mate

Thats just the usual advert crap. One over streched half assed idea thats not very well exicuted because/and the product is pushed so into your face with a bunch of messages regarding it any impact the advert had regards entertainment value is lost. People tend to be a bit more relaxed and laugh a little more readly at the cinema, I dont think most people would laugh at this advert if they saw it on TV, if they did they would be total morons .
-
Well I like Pearl Jam and you dont so fair enough friend, on the musicanship thing, well lets just agree to differ on that on that for now but when you used the word awful to discribe creed, there as far as im concerned your bang on the money.
-
Early Pearl Jam (up to and including Vitalogy) = Fantastic rock music (after that take it or leave it my friends). Creed (imo) = Laughable, hammed up, stomach churning fake 'grunge' light, (seems pretty obvious to me).
-
Oh yes, but I dont have any of there albums so maybe I might get one next.
-
Cool, Core is a great album, if you decide to get anymore STP i reccomend No 4. (Well thats my favorite), now thats a killer album.
-
Which album(s) did you get? glad you like the music IMO its fantastic music, I think they started to carve out there own sound from the 2nd album onward, they recived a lot of criticism as a band which is a shame ya know as they were one of the great talents of 90's.
-
If only there was a band with real monkeys in it , now that would be great!
-
Totally agree with this but I do like the arctic monkeys for the ok spikey 'punky' band they are with some clever lyrics IMO. However as usual with music the generic copyist rubbish that followed (happens all the time in music) was reliabley (sp?) awful. For me its the other way round I just cant get away with female singers a lot of the time, I like some female vocals sometimes but there not really appealing to me mostly (dont know why). My favourite vocalists are Billy Corgan, Eddie Vedder, Scott Weiland and Thom Yorke.
-
Cool hun, Im just not too keen on the modern horror, thats all
-
Ah, do you know what I like more than mis-spelling things? Thats nerdy little perdantic weiners who sit behind there computers and direct random insults at total straingers when they should be removing the sticks from there arses and for that reason I send much kudos your way my friend. Proberbly mis-spelt that as I had posted it after not sleeping for 24 hours, still when you have an active social life....
-
Return of the Jedi 10/10. The Blair Which Project. Now ide never actually seen this before, Ide heard some people say they loved it and some say they thought it was awful. I thought it was great, not totally amazing but a very good horror that actually got you feeling scared ( something thats all but gone these days- in the mainstram anyway). 8.5/10.
-
People like that should be shot from a cannon into a pit into a pit of spikes (free speach aside maybe its time to thin out the idiots a little ). I thought being a Christian was about helping the less fortunate. It is wrong on so many levels to 'protest' at a mans funeral as he played someone gay in film (for 'christ's sake!) and that is obvious to all but the most warped individuals.

Whats your favourite choice of footwear?
Pete replied to Falcon_BlizZACK's topic in General Chit Chat
I like skate shoes (have for a long time) I like my jeans baggy (but not too baggy, (and not if im dressing 'smart')) skate shoes go great with them. Heres a pic of one of my trainers, one of a V decient pair of DC's (very comfy!!). -
I have one of these, http://www.play.com/Games/PC/4-/114167/Play-com-USB-Dual-PS2-to-PC-Convertor-XP/Product.html Its for PS2 pads, works very well and seem compatable with any games I throw at it (and at £6.99 with 2 ports on the adaptor for two pads its pretty sweet). The PS2 pad is light years a head of the generic PC stuff and a pretty good pad in general obviously. Ive never really used a 360 pad yet though.

I reccon he's allright
