    James are brilliant live,seen them a few times.They really know how to engage with an audience.

    One of the best gigs I ever attended was in March 1997 seeing James at the Barras for the Whiplash album. Absolutely superb, really great performance and interaction from both band & audience. And some fantastic songs throughout. It also helped that it was a Friday night and my wages had just come in. thumbup2.gif

    I was thinking more along the lines of Laid by James. A few apt lines in that one but mainly for "She said you're like a disease without any cure"

    Me & my mate used to sing “She said you’ve got a disease ya dirty wee hooer”. whistling.gif

    Should be able to get him out easily. Swap the student for thirty pairs of Levis, the entire Madonna CD collection, and a scuddy photo of Kim Kardashian's arse.

    Are you wanting the lad’s sentence commuted from 15 years to life or what...?

    To be fair to him, he didn't bother with that.............

    Edited to add:-

    .......................he got someone else to do it for him...................

    Edited to add further:-

    .........but made sure it was stated he'd retired from the forum "quietly and without fuss". dry.png

    10 samosas, 2 servings of chicken pakora, 1 serving vegetable pakora, 20 popadoms, spicy onions, boiled rice, fried rice, 3 naan breads, chicken tikka masala, onion bajis, prawn bhoona, chicken tandoori, 5 pints of Indian lager...... And a wafer thin mint.

    Surely that's "wahfer theen meent"....?

  14. Worst Film You Have Ever Seen?

    in General Nonsense

    One film I remember several people telling me that I "must see" was Donnie Darko. I watched it and thought it was an unmitigated pile of pish.

    It DOES feature The Killing Moon by Echo & the Bunnymen so it gets kudos for that alone.

    wasn't brilliant but wasn't wanky pish..rather enjoyed it for what it was a kinda spoof western. .so a S L Jackson penis to you and a trip to Botany bay for me.

    Certainly one y'either love or hate. One of my favourite novels I thought it was a brilliant movie, you're often disappointed at movie adaptations of books you like but I certainly wasn't in this instance. I would have structured the movie differently, like it was in the novel, it's a complex plot, about redemption of the soul, a theme that's been explored before by sci-fi authors with Buddhist/Eastern leanings, notably Michael Moorcock - 10/10 for me!

    Bit of trivia - I often drive part the street in Glasgow where Hugo Weaving shunts Halle Berry in the fillum.

    I happened to see that on holiday in the US and was well pleased to see The Drovers Inn getting used as a location. nologo.gif

    I always try and remain positive, which is not always easy. I think I'm what's commonly known as a "happy clapper".

    We've been on a downward spiral almost since March 18th 2013. The worst hangover in history.

    I wouldn't blame anyone for giving up their season ticket based on what has happened in the three years since we lifted that trophy, it's not been a whole lot of fun especially at home games.

    Was talking to my mate at the u-20s game yesterday and we ended up going down memory lane and remembering the fun we at at Love Street as we grew up supporting the team and the amazing season of 99-00 which I can't imagine will ever be bettered in terms of the sheer enjoyment of every game. The bond between the team and the fans, and the management at that time was really special and the board were doing amazing things WITH the fans to help get us promoted with the construction of the PDE stand even though we were financially f**ked.

    Whether we'll get a season quite like that again I doubt, but the good times WILL come back, I've absolutely no doubt about it. Just got to stick with it and be there when it does turn and we start winning games again.

    Those good days are what make all the million shite days in between worthwhile and why I was a bubbling wreck at the cup final when Newton smashed home the third goal :-)

    I won't be renewing my ST's next season ,the last couple of seasons have been very poor IMHO to the extent that even though I have purchased two ST's each season I hardly go along , Next season I will pick and choose games or if the current downward spiral continues won't go at all ,on the other hand if thing improve It will cost me more , but I will take that chance.

    I won't be giving up my ST but it is a hell of a chore to attend matches these days.

    The difference between success and failure is a very fine line. We f**ked up badly twice in my opinion. Recruiting Craig and then recruiting Murray - I honestly thought keeping Teale was a better option with far better credentials for the job but that is water under the bridge now.

    Right from the off I was not impressed with Murray's signings as I have stated on many threads before. The signing of Gow told us all we needed to know. It is no surprise that Rae wants rid of most of the squad. After watching our first game against Livi I thought Livi would struggle to take two of our players straight into their team as they appeared miles ahead of what we had. The last few years show how crucial it is to get even a semi-decent manager in.

    Maybe we have bottomed out but I do not think that is a foregone conclusion. Most of the players are not good enough for the Championship and we have no money and little time to repair Murray's disaster. 3rd bottom would be the best we can hope for then clear the decks and start again. I do see improvements under Rae however the quality or potential is not there for him to work with.

    Wont be giving up my season ticket ether though I understand why so many are disillusioned given the past few years. Christ there was nothing worse than going home after a game getting soaked going to Gilmour street , waiting 20 odd min for a train then sitting miserable on the ferry thinking why am I doing this its a hard slog. Next home game I would be back for more punishment. Have seen a few games under Rae and can see shoots of hope we are defiantly better organized and keep a shape. Have said to myself at long last we have a real football manager just pray this guy is given time.

    I gave up my season ticket for this season simply because I couldn't take any more of the same utter pish I've had to put up with over the last few seasons.

    Edited to add:- I am, of course, referring not to the team but to the fans. Bunch of f**king utter torn-faced cockbags. flipa.gif

    Nice one. Any chance of a tracklist?

    Religious or not, call it what it is ffs.

    Correct.

    'Chrimbo' doesn't bother me. The word that really pisses me off is 'tgat'. No need for it. Disgusting.
