  1. I'd really like a place in either league please. Traditional Ayrshire bunnery might have seen us enter the Proddy league OK in the past but this has waned and we now even have an Ultras group who are tarred as a Green Brigade copycat, singing some Sellick songs. We also mocked the Govan lads singing jovially about 'knocking back David Murray' and HMRC.

    I think a small minority of Ayr fans have perhaps cost our place in either league due to their sectarian singing a few weeks ago informing both the kaffy and proddy sides in close to f*** their respective figureheads. Shame really.

    Nah, umpteen good proddy schools in Ayr and prestwick and only Queeny for the greeny's. Keeping "them" well away from the rest who live in the 21st century. I'd like to think we're JKL bound. I'll shake some hands at the 1060 anyway and make it happen.

  2. Just had a wee look on that Rangers Media site, check out the dumbstruck responses to DavyBoyBlue's reasoned post (around half way down) that life without rangers might not be all bad (sorry posting in phone and don't think I can shorten the full address):

  3. Seen The Twilight Sad last night courtesy of Smurph. New stuff sounded all right but the older stuff is still better live. Guitars are too low in the mix in the new stuff or maybe it was just because of a bad mix/poor sound.

    I agree, thought one or two of the new tunes sounded good live but others I felt didn't stand up against their older songs, which were, as always, excellent.

    Saying that it's a different sound on the new album so maybe they'll evolve live the more they play.

    I was also a bit disappointed they only played for an hour...they've 3 albums and an EP to choose from.

    I love the Grand Ole Opry. I love how when things go quiet you can hear the ding of the bar till opening and an old dear asking for £2.40

  4. I want a new Tool album so badly now and another UK tour would be great as well.

    Me too...they've played some US dates in 2012, and but for a few alterations to the set lists (HWAP, ticks and leeches, AND parabol/parabola a couple of times) they're STILL playing the same few songs they've been doing since 10,000 Days came out. And I liked that album, I really did, but Lateralus at the time almost changed the way I thought about music.

    I really liked ISIS. I was disappointed they finished up, but with Wavering Radient they, for me, ended on a massive high note (not literally!).

  5. I love this band. Seeing them at Grand Ol Opry next week.

    I was down in London last year to see Mogwai and TS supported. They were good, but they seemed terrified in front of 5000 Mogwai fans.

    They played a late night gig later that night in Camden, I think, in a room of probably less than 100. The vocal monitor was duff so James sang most of the gig on the floor. Some older wrecked boy tried to fight him and another guy around song 3, all hell nearly broke loose but the aggressor was swiftly launched by their heavy, and from then on the gig was totally charged and infinitely better than their support slot at Mogwai.

  6. Pans labyrith a spanish film. A fairy tale set in 1946 after the spanish civil war.

    la haine a french film. A grim story of three folk from a hard estate in paris following a riot started by one of their friends gets beaten nearly to death by the police

    Two absolutely tremendous films, they both leave you stunned and i would highly reccomend them to you. Id give them both 9.5/10.

    I absolutely love pans labyrinth. And it was kind of through that I found my favourite film, let the right one in.

    Went to see the girl with the dragon tattoo last night, really enjoyed it. Haven't read the book or seen the original but it was a good watch.

  7. For some reason id not looked in this thread, as the title didn't suggest to me what it's actually about...which in a way was good because I've now been able to plough through umpteen pages of sheer gold. Honestly this has made my day.

    I think Graeme LeSauxdomy is my favourite

  8. Where and when do you's play? I'd be interested in playing if numbers allowed sometime, but whats the standard like?

    I play 5's weekly with mates and I'm pish but cause I'm a big b*****d I just stay back and throw fat arse in front of every shot possible. I am getting better and better at defending each week mind, just dont get me to go up front or try anything as daring as trying to get by someone though :lol: I just try win the ball and then give it to the more skillful players to do the job of scoring.

    Same here, I'd be interested in playing sometime if numbers/time etc allowed. Primarily because I sacked 11s a couple of months ago because of recurring injury and don't intend starting again until preseason, the lack of any kicking a baw is killing me though!

  9. I've now got my unconditional offer from GCU and my place all confirmed for September. Over the moon. :D

    Congratulations, what are you going to study?

    Ive been granted a place there too, though Ive chosen to defer one year as Id be a mature student and need more saving time!

  10. Only Charlton let me down drawing at home on a 5 team 'banker' line of Arsenal, Brechin, Livi, Charlton and I can';t even remember the fifth one but it came in! May have been Sellick. Backed Imperial Commander on Friday so can't complain.

  11. Having just watched the HBK/Taker video again, I 've realised that the AC/DC song is 'Thunderstruck'.

    And it just emphasised how epic it is! It's truely stunning, from the music to the slow motion shots to the colours used. Award winning worthy stuff. If it was Hollywood people would be going fucking batshit.

    Dang, I love seeing stuff like that but I cant access youtube from my current location, will have to wait patiently until the weekend.

    The last promo video I think that Itruly loved (bearing in mind theres about a 9/10 year gap of me not really seeing any of the wrestling) was steve austins pre-survivor series 1997 video for his match with bret hart...the one shot in black and white with some kind of industial back drop, with the line, 'pink tights...what the hell is that all about? This ain't no ballet class....'

  12. Chris Jericho's debut on RAW. The crowd went mental when the "JERICHO" came up on the Titantron, and actually kept the pop going for a full three minutes. Much respect.

    THEE best pop Ive ever seen. I remember the HHH ladder match (some of his matches with the Rock while they were both still on the climb were incredible) but that time when Jericho interrupted the Rock for me is still one of the most outstanding wrasslin segments I've seen.

  13. Or he is a really good producer....

    I remember seeing a few Metallica videos with Bob Rock actively encouraging structural changes, which I thought was brilliant. I would much rather have someone sit and say "See, this bit isn't too great. What about you do this instead?" rather than some guy just sit there pressing record and stop every few minutes.

    Anyway, I went to see Hundred Reasons last night and they were superb as always. It's such a shame to see them with such a small crowd, because they deserve much better. They've went through so much shite in their career. I said to my mate before the gig that I would prefer they played most of the first album as opposed to most of the new album, because I haven't had time to digest it properly. Imagine my surprise when they only played one song off the new album. Seriously good band to watch, and I really hope with this album, or the next, that they manage to get some new people into the gigs.

    The singalong at Falter was brilliant, as always.

    I too am not a great fan of the new biffy stuff. My mates and I saw them at liquid rooms in edinburgh a few years back and they played a few songs of Puzzle which was some time before it came out. And I have to say there and then the songs didnt quite stand up to the rest of the set. In any case, fair play to them because theyve plugged away for years and are getting to where they want to be. They're all good lads.

    HUNDRED REASONS. Shit man, I didnt even realise they were still about! I saw them play QMU possibly 7/8 years ago, and they were superb live. If they're still about then is there any chance My Vitriol are still about?? Theyve never officially split/finished!

    Saw AIC the other week at Barrowlands and it lived up to everything I wanted it to be. The new guy DuVall, well, he can never be Staley, but he pulls of the harmonies with Cantrell and fits in with the overall way of the band very well I think. Of the recent reformations, AIC and Take That are the only two that have convinced me!

    Off to London to see Them Crooked Vultures on Dec 18th.

  14. The thing is - it is now up to the other full members of the SFL to decide Livi's fate. If they don't vote for the rule change, or if they uphold any appeal against the lack of sanctions, it is still possible that Livi will go out of business or be relegated to the Third division or receive some other punishment.

    We will see shortly whether the chairmen of clubs who "live within their means" feel as strongly about this as most of their fans do. If Livi escape unpunished, or virtually unpunished, it will be the responsibility of the SFL clubs who vote in favour.

    Id be astonished if Ayr were to vote in favour of Livi. Those who have cleaned up BB's legacy would surely be contradicting the measures they had to take years ago to keep ayr united in existance. It'd surely also be a slap in the face to Clyde who have also taken the hit to ensure a club with a future without relying on shysters who for some reason seem to line up to take on Livi.

  15. A word of warning, anyone who is going to uni to study engineering can look forward to four/five years of zero female interaction because girls, attractive ones anyway, don't do engineering, definitely not aeronautical anyways. They should well have put that in the prospectus.

    I plan to go back next year to do Physio at caley if I can afford it, and that genuinely has nothing to do with wanting to massage girls, honest guv.
