Oh aye, in the same film. Michael Caine as the other soldier:-
"Sir, I resent the charge of blackmail. It is blackmail to receive money by threats of publishing something in a newspaper, but what blackmail is there in receiving a small retainer for keeping things out of a newspaper?"
-
Also, the Man Who Would Be King. Sean Connery as a soldier in an Asian backwater country. Loads of them lined up in front of him and he's about to train them as soldiers. Spoken whilst strolling through the ranks:-
"Alright then, you benighted muckers, we're going to teach you soldiering; the world's noblest profession. By the time we're finished with you you'll be able to stand up and slaughter your enemies in a cilvilised manner.
"One thing you must remember is that you do not have to think about what you're doing. Good soldiers don't ask, they just do.
"(To one would be soldier) Do you think if a person had to think about it he'd risk his life for queen and country? Not bloody likely! He wouldn't go near the battlefield.
"(To the assembled throng again) One look at your foolish faces tells me you're going to be crack troops.
"(Turns and point at one in particular) Oh, that fellow there with the seven and a half head size has the makings of a bloody hero!"

John Clese clamping an iron grip on the shoulder of Graham Chapman and saying "YOU'RE F*CKING NICKED, ME LITTLE BEAUTY!!!"

Union Carbide Productions were one of Kurt Cobain's favourite bands (not that that makes them good, mind you). They split in the mid-late 90's but reformed as...The Soundtrack of Our Lives. So now ye know.
Saw the KMO at the Barras sometime in 1990 also. What a fine band.

I beg your pardon I did bugger all of the kind. I bought my ticket from a tout outside and paid exactly double the face value, not more.
I had been promised a ticket, mind you. However that didn't materialise unfortunately.
And by the way, it was worth every feckin' penny!
ANGUS!!! ANGUS!!! ANGUS!!! Da-na-na-NA-na-nana!!!

Wasn't quite sure but I thought that's where it was. I realised that was Flemish anyway.
And by the way, you'll address me as Howard, thank you very much. I didn't work hard to earn all that money so that I could eff off to NYC and go into reclusiveness for nowt, y'know.

Oh and for BRMC read The Jesus and Mary Chain circa 1987.

4/ AC/DC - SECC 2000
AAAARRGGGHHHH!!!! F*CK!!!! Forgot about that one! Who the hell could I????
That was one of THE best ever gigs in the history of rock music. Got the bootleg from the Barras and it was as good as I remember. My hearing went during the solo in Whole Lotta Rosie but I wasn't caring in the slightest. Superb gig. Absolutely brilliant! Well said, that man.
Soundtrack of Our Lives were recommended to me by a former Swedish workmate so I got Behind The Music and a damn fine album it is as well. They also told me to check out Unon Carbide Production but so far can't find any of their stuff. Ach well.
Have to ask, where is the Melkweg?

Top gigs:-
1. Peter Gabriel - Madison Square Garden & SECC
2. James - Barrowlands 1997 - support band The Audience featuring Sophie Ellis Bextor.
3. U2 - Barrowlands - 1984.
4. Alice Cooper - SECC 1989 - a horror show put to thunderously good music.
5. Rush - SECC 1988 & 1992 - best band ever to walk the planet.
Other great gigs - Iron Maiden at the Apollo '84, REM at the Barrowlands '89, T in the Park 1999, Julian Cope at King Tut's 2000 and any time the Manics ahve played to name but a few.
Went to see New Order at the second night at the Barrowlands about 18 months ago. They were absloutely brilliant for an hour and five minutes then just walked off and didn't come back on. Well on the way to becoming one of the best gigs I'd ever been to but that really spoiled it, stroppy b*****ds.
Mind you, coming out of the mosh pit soaked in sweat there was Motherwell board member and former Scotland internationalist Pat Nevin. Wierd situation.

Then there was the classic at Brockville the other week:-
"Sit doooown Whops! You've got no seats, sit doooown Whoops! You've got no seats" Excellent!

I believe, Stu, that that day saw the first airing of that, one of our most popular modern day ditties, as the Northbank Choral Society lustilly informed the travelling Bairns of the realities of SPL requirements, who qualifies and who doesn't.
Excellent.

When Saints played Falkirk in the run up to winning the league in 2000 the ground had just been given the all clear by about a week or so regards SPL acceptance.
Prior to the game it was Phil Clark that took the piss and not, for once, good old Panda.
"We'd just like to welcome the Falkirk fans to todays game and here's a song specially for them......." Cue drums thumping out a rhythm, guitars whacking out the tune and Tim Booth saying 'I sing myself to sleep/A song from the darkest hour....' Loved it! Feckin' loved it!

Ah, Black Dog. Uncut magazine stated once that Zep made the most intense catalogue of moltenly sexual tracks in the history of rock. "Random example: Black Dog. A pure f*ck song to its very core".
Cannae argue with that. ;)

Ah, Bill, you've obviously never worn a kilt. See thon big woolly socks you wear with said garment? When you've been wearing them all feckin' day? Well when you get to about 11 o'clock at night, you sit down with a pint, you shove the socks down to your ankles and then proceed to claw your lower leg from ankle to kneecaps all the way round. Ooooohhhhhh, that's a feckin' beauty!
-
Yeah, I had to wake up dead early to see a game that kicked off at three in the afternoon, dummy?
-
Hey, don't knock until you've tried it, speccy! ;)
-
Anyone remember some really enormous bloke calling himself The Incredible Bulk? Big feckin' orca-fat blubbery guy. Or am I losing it?
-
Oh as well, the advert for Lemsip where that cnut makes it into work and "clinches the deal" that his collegue was trying to close. Fukcers like that make me pray for a financial crash/stock market meltdown/the rise of international communism.
Aye, that's another one. That s***e REALLY pisses me off. Aw this "deal" pish. Gettaef**kyakunts!

Of course I didn't fall asleep halfway through. I was just silently appreciating how good you were.

The latest Wrigley's Extra ad, the one with the wee blue strip you put in your gob, the young bloke goes to shake hands with the Maori looking chap (wearing a feckin' t-shirt and suit!) and the Maori does some sort of dance. So in return the laddie does some made up s***e where he puffs out minty breath and gets a hug. Nonononon, what he needs, in fact, what he DESERVES is a f*ckin' good boot in the cheenies!
-
....well......canae argue with that, Sid.

Sorry, SHTN, but the Krays, despite what people think, were a pair of violent, thuggish, murdering b*****ds. As well as being feckin' Cockneys.
The Coen Brothers, on the other hand, are a pair of feckin' geniuses. Or should that be genii?
