Was only joshing, as a non-Deadhead 

It's... nice.

Macca needs to start acting his age. His old voice sounds ok by itself, like on Early Days, but he should try and stop trying to be 'Macca' for want of a better term. He seems to still trying to make records like he did when his voice was in better shape, and I think his weaker voice doubletracked does the songs a disservice. The harmonies on something like Queenie Eye or New (the song) sound weak.

I almost thought that something like Kisses On The Bottom showed that Macca was ready to embrace his voice as it stood as a 70 year old. I guess, in a perversely admirable way, he still thinks he can make records like it's 1974. The results aren't quite there, but it's kinda great he's maintaining some heavy touring/recording ethic. Why change?

Don't be rude, Donald 

If they did Pet Sounds live now that would be some historic sh*t. I demand evidence in the form of shaky youtube videos and I demand it NOW.

Glad to see you back, we could use you round the board!

I just hope he's alright!

Funny that nobody else considered me a racist- just you. Why was it that Jason got the gist of what I was saying on the first post and Pinder agreed with me to a point after I clarified my stance?

And please stop trying with the sarcastic humour, because frankly, you suck at it.

You still haven't told me how equating people from a certain place and select few nationalities to vermin, based on nothing but where they're from, isn't racist, but that's fine. Keep on being a terrible person. I can't stop you.

I can't speak for Pinder, but on the other hand I can say with confidence that it's because TRBB is a terrible moderator and a troll who does nothing of worth in these threads. Who didn't, btw, respond to my reaction to that idiot 'academic' and his anecdotal evidence.

The other mods are right. If you really want to keep slanging this back and forth, drop me a PM. This has got to be very boring for everyone else by now.

MB, in case this somehow didn't get into your brain through all the bile and Sun headlines swimming around up there, your anti-immigrant hatred reflects on me and my family and you're saying my family don't belong here. Thanks for that. Makes me feel great.

 

Well, I tried!


Great job on denying your racism btw.

And if your hatred is solely reserved for Eastern Europeans to the extent where you want to shoot them in the face, I'd say that's pretty much the opposite of common sense. In fact.... it seems.... racist? That you have gone 'oh, it's not about race, it's common sense' whilst continuing to post the same bile directed at Eastern Europeans speaks volumes.

I'm obviously not going to change your mind, but I wanted to state my position in this thread for clarity before I go out and throw money at the undeserving poor... er... run my failing NHS department, no that's monday... oh yeah, I was going to destroy capitalism. That's Thursdays.




And I didn't even fucking swear!

No I pretty much hate you too, you fucktard.

That's lovely! Glad we got to the point where you threatened to shoot immigrants in the face before we finished up this chat though.

Or is he actually saying that Eastern European people act like animals? My Grandad came over to Britain from Ireland and had a family, I guess he was acting like an animal too. Y'know, not like nice indigenous people.

Also pull your head out of your ass, grab an atlas and check out the location of Ireland: HINT it's not in Eastern Europe.

It's the principle of the thing, you berk. Did I really have to spell that one out?

So it's just Eastern Europeans that you blindly hate then?

To TRBB's 'academic' video,

That's really funny! I haven't found a good stand up comic in ages. I turned off when he essentially said that giving India its freedom was a bad idea BTW. No i didn't, I needed a laugh tbh.

Yeah, Britain is really on the verge of bloodshed, btw. We so should have kept India under oppressive colonial rule.

Oh my god, this is so stupid. You can't say 'why won't you look at the evidence, there needs to be a proper scientific look at this' and then proffer anecdotal evidence.

Hypehat is one of those strange people who won't be happy until half of the planet is resided in Britain and living on handouts from the British taxpayer. Don't worry Hype-baby, your dream is becoming a closer reality each and every day!

I also think he must be on his period.

Oh no, diversity! f***.

Or,

Mike's Beard is one of those strange people who won't be happy until he can drive this van around and intimidate people because he's a UKIP supporter.

What's racist about that statement?

I'd try and spell out why, but you'd probably just sneer at me and it wouldn't change anything as you're a useless moderator and a bigot, so I'm just going to tell you to f*** off.



f*** Off.

I knew you couldn't answer the question as you saw fit to attack me personally rather than defend your own remark.

Or, you could tell me exactly how that isn't racist. Is he using 'Dog' in a slang sense?

Or is he actually saying that Eastern European people act like animals? My Grandad came over to Britain from Ireland and had a family, I guess he was acting like an animal too. Y'know, not like nice indigenous people.

But ok, I'll stick to professional complaints.


You are a really fucking useless moderator.

I had forgotten about the H&V random generator. 

Me too, it's great!

Dling this now, psyched.

I always wondered about the Spatializer - is there any way to roughly replicate the sound with EQ/a VST/hi-fi or something? Or for Stephen to make some more.... maybe with a repress of his book.....? 

Well I actually did throw out a few ideas a couple of days back, I stand by them. Remember I'm English and have seen the pros and cons of a public funded Healthcare system all my life (I also work for the NHS, albeit in a lowly occupation). The NHS truly is f***ed, most of their Hospitals will be run/owned by private companies within the next decade - then the sh*t really will hit the fan in regards to decent public healthcare. Gotta love the NHS, no matter how pushed for cash, staff and resources they become they still jump at the chance to help half of Eastern Europe breed like rats over here for free. Whoooohoo!  

You racist son of a bitch.

I can't think of anything more grotesque than forcing people to do something they don't want to do under threat of violence.

I can't think of anything more grotesque than people being left to suffer and die because they can't afford exorbitant insurance fees.

If again tonight there are people shot in a gang fight or turf war over drug corners or any other beef between rivals on the streets of Philly or Chicago, the gang members themselves let's say are the ones wounded, they get taken to the emergency room and given emergency treatment, followed up by intensive care in an effort to save their lives. Who pays the bill?

I mean, yeah, that must be so great for them. I bet they really like stealing your tax dollars by getting shot. Thug Life.

pretentious list, the kind I would expect from a pseudo-intellectual charlatan like Mr. Bowie (love his music, though)

Yeah, f*** art, man. I hate clever things.

I mean, it has Viz and Spike Milligan on it!

A persons bank balance shouldn't determine whether they live or die.

I can't think of anything more grotesque than forcing people to do something they don't want to do under threat of violence.

Er... sure about that?  


Ok, wow, that site is written so stupidly I immediately assumed it was satire! With such headlines as 'Shutdown drives women into arms of older men', 'There's apparently a high school twerk team now', opinion pieces of such wisdom like 'The Income Tax: A century is enough', and a separate section for Guns & Gear!

The truth is stranger than fiction, I suppose!

You want affordable health care? Get rid of any and all government involvement. Government turns everything it touches into garbage. I'm waiting for when health care in this country becomes bad on an NHS level...then maybe the pinko pygmies with their dreams of socialism will wise up - that is, if they're not dead.

I don't know exactly what you're reading about the NHS (probably The Daily Mail), but it's pretty clear that the major failings of the system come from crucial services being sold to corporations like Serco and Atos*, who then f*** it up trying to cut every single corner for profit, not from government, and that this quasi-privatisation comes from exactly the ideology you preach - for example, the recent debacle about NHS 111, explained on a handy nonleftistevilstatemediailluminaticonspiracy Channel 4 Dispatches doc.  This explains a fair bit, I recall http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/apr/23/who-will-hold-nhs-contractors-to-account. Or just google NHS Serco. Hip hip fuckin Hooray for the private sector.

*Atos, most famous for judging heavily disabled people on benefits 'fit to work' whilst sponsoring the Olympic Paralympic (doh) Games.

I don't understand people who hate Mike and Bruce being disappointed that they went their separate way. Aren't you glad you don't have to hear them?  You also can't force people to get along. I think the license issue has been discussed into the ground. In any case, I'm not sure why anyone would want more "Spring Vacation" types songs that another BB album would inevitably bring.

I want to hear all of them! The issue isn't that I don't want to hear Mike, the issue is I want to hear Mike, Brian, Al, David, Bruce (and Blondie on certain dates). As do the public, cos they sent a Beach Boys album to #3. I don't want to hear two separate bands doing the same thing at a lesser level and not making records. I mean, Brian's making a Beach Boys album in all but name right now!
