Even my daughter bought the Beatles #1's at Tower on Sunday because in her words, "there's nothing else worth buying out at the moment"

Jag, markie misses my point and takes me too literally sometimes. I'm not saying every single band that comes out at the moment is an absolute load of crap, I'm simply saying that any talentless wanker can walk on the stage and say they're the dogs bollocks and the sheep will follow….and it's happening way too much at the moment, wether it be mainstream or "indie", which brings down the batting average to use a yank term, the end result being people like me who get exposed to the shit don't even give most bands a chance unless someone like yourself shoves an "I Am Kloot" cd under my rather large schnoz!
Truer words were never spoken….or typed.
And there are dozens more that can be added to that list. Even Mankie would like a lot of them, for instance, I Am Kloot and Elbow.
It just takes more research to find them out of the mainstream.

And what you just said Mankie about those crap shows; that is exactly why I watch almost no tv at all anymore.

Andrew WK is good fun, he is taking the piss….
It is much better that than clinging to the past, watching some wrinkly guy in Lurex sing songs he wrote 30 years ago.

Those two stupid cows "Berman and Berman" have got to go though, that's some crap they come out with. And they need to ease up on "A baby story" it seems to be on all the friggin time. I do love the surgery shows. I also like medical detectives and forensic files, even though they seem to repeat those too often. The conclusion I've come to is if you kill someone and as much as fart while you're doing it….they're going to nail you sooner or later.

Originally posted by mankie:yeah those weird sister doctors kind of freak me out. and im so sick of seeing babies being born too! i only like to watch the surgeries and weird diseases. the forensic ones can get kind of cheesy so i tend to stay away from those. history channel has the best stuff though. saw something yesterday about the story behind the martini. woohooo

Originally posted by mankie:me too! but i can't watch it because i get too sad. humans being torn apart i can deal with… a dog with a broken leg tears me aoart!
I also like the "animal doctors" or whatever it's called on Animal Planet…it's just like "Trauma, life in the ER" only for animals. I'm a complete soft shite when it comes to animals so get all choked up when a sick animal gets brought in.

I'm so bad with animals that if there's a cricket or spider or something in the bedroom in the middle of the night I'll stay awake for ages trying to catch it under a cup so I can let it outside before I'll kill the thing. I also found a wild bird in the back garden that was sick so I took it in and tried to nurse it back to health but it died, so I made a gravestone and buried it where it fell!

I have a mate who's just as bad. He told me he accidently ran over a squirrel with his truck one time and burst into tears…and to look at him you'd thing he'd just made parole or something.
(no wonder yank men think Brits are all gay!)
