Well that another halween over and done with. As predicted to the nice young man in Cyberdog, going down the local on Halloween was a severe dissapointment. There was a time when it was a reall giggle, but now there were just a sad colection of underage withces who had bought some pointy hats and wore short skirts. Still, myself and Spikey broke the Trivial Pursuit machine.
And as predicted both by and to the nice young an in Cyberdog, Halloween at the TG more thn made up for the rubbishness of local pubs. Bacck at Mass (where it really does belong. Considering i'd not been to Mass for the best part of two years it felt strangely like coming home), and full of lunatics and perverts, what a great night out...though I really should have looked after my knees better when I was young.
5 1/2 hours of more or less non stop dancing really does take it out of the old joints these days. The dissapearance of the Cabaret Lounge in all but name is a bit weird, but the electro-clash stuff being played in there was a better bet than the old days of cr8ppy rock'n'roll and the inevitable 'Starship Trooper'. Excellent sets from Allen TG and George E, though i could of down without Dex's rather shabby drum'n'bass...Ho hum.
And as for Mouse's stage show, well, I've never seen a TG crowd move so quickly...

It was the question who is the leader of the Conservative Party Question.
A John Major
B William hague

The poor machine gets confused with that one.

Round objects 
At least I've got a 50/50 chance of getting my favoured party in power- you're stuck hating whoever wins...

Broke as ij beat the previous best score by about 40,000 points. In fact, we seem to occupy the seven of the top eight spaces and thats because we got bored...

Which probably says something about the average IQ of the pub's patrons. Just enough culture to make a yoghurt?

Worse than that. It used to the local punks/bikers/goths pub. NMow it's full of people who think the Stone Temple Pilots are cool...
We went in on one of their new 'quiz' nights recently. Sample question;
'How many of the birds in the pub fancy me?'

Gulp that must be ahard question for your ego to allow you to get right BS.
As for 50/50 chance of being in power. Which bookie is offering those ludicrous odds Kerr?

That'd be 'Me' as in the question master, mate...
See comments in other threads about whether I'd want to be fancied by the jail bait in my local...

Err, who the Hell are the Stone Temple Pilots?

A very awful American rock band. Idolised by people who are too young to know any better. See also - Cooper Temple Clause, White Stripes, At the Drive In, New Found Glory...ad infinitum...

You know, the only band from that lot I've heard of is the White Stripes, but I don't think I've ever knowingly heard a single track of theirs...
And DD, I was generalising

Hmm, well, one could draw the conclusion that the East Midlands really does live in a timewarp, but I think music really is a gender thing rather than a regional thing. And that is *not* an insult, just an observation.
I could also say that you are extrememly lucky. Though 'Gay Bar' by Electric Six is a toper wheeze and the video even more so.

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Nov 3, 2003
Oh, I've heard *them* P-Rock plays Electric Six all the time.
I think I'm just not a very good example when it comes to music. The three ardists I have the most of in my collection is The Beatiful South, Iron Maiden and Ben Folds Five. Oh, actually, that's not true, thinking about it- that's the most in my CD collection. My record collection is stuff full of Spinners and Donavon . So no, not a typical example...

Jeez, I thought Paul Heaton had made it illegal for anybody to the right of Tony Benn (or even possibly Mr Benn) to own a copy of one his albums. As for Iron Maiden, well, Spinal Tap were funnier and better musicians...

If he has, well, hey that's just one more way I break the law every day

Blues Shark - For people who like this sort of thing, then this is just the sort of thing they'll like Posted Nov 3, 2003
Though why anybody would want to break that particular law is beyond me. Listening to Heaton's meandering nonsense being only slightly more distasteful than bestiality in my book...

I find it quite pleasant to listen to while do something else- the trick is to enjoy the sound being made, without actually focusing on the words.

Might as well listen to bloody Mantovani or James Last then, surely?

Kerr_Avon - hunting stray apostrophes and gutting poorly parsed sentences Posted Nov 3, 2003
Err, no, because James Last makes some of the most awful noise ever committed to vinyl....
