  1. You see what you've gone and done? I happen to have that Saturday off work, however as things stand it's Dundee derby day at Tannadice. I'm kinda hoping that the game will now be shifted to the Sunday for TV as the last two have done.

    I was up for going through for this until I realised it fell on derby day. There's a good chance the game will be moved for the TV though, so perhaps all is not lost.

  2. I'll put up the full list of albums nominated at some point, they are on my laptop at home. Sure it will spark a few good debates etc.

    Different contributors' definition of "electronic" remains an interesting point. Blue Lines and Screamedelica, both of which featured in the individual lists above, are two of my favourite albums but I wouldn't class them as electronica. There are elements of it within both, but they lean a little too much on the "organic" (for want of a better word) side of sound for me.

    On the Massive Attack front I had Mezzanine in my list and left out Blue Lines. Having listened to them both in the lead up to submitting my list I adjudged Mezzanine to fall on the side of electronic and Blue Lines not to. No idea if there's any real weight of logic behind that decision, but it seemed about right in my head. I was tempted to add the Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas but it just fell short for the same reasons Blue Lines did.

  3. There's a free cocktail umbrella in it for you!

    Feck ive never had it done but ive mates who have,do they still use it??

    I went to the STD clinic three or four years ago fully expecting the cocktail umbrella treatment. Fortunately it didn't happen. You know those wee stirrer things you get in a takeaway coffee sometimes? It was more like that. They poke it in and take a wee swab, or something. It's not particularly comfortable, but it's doesn't hurt.

    Matty! Have you been to the docs yet? Fuckin' get it seen to, man.

  4. WTF? Guy's got better teeth than me now!

    By f**k, McGowan's had his nashers done! That ain't right, man. What's next? Beadle getting a normal-sized hand transplanted onto the end of his arm?

    I'm aware Jeremy Beadle's dead, but only a fool would discount the possibility of him returning from the grave with revenge on his mind.

  5. It really burns when I pee, I mean properly like I'm pissing fire and lightning. I'm fairly certain it's not an std, so what is it people?

    I could have used google, I just wanted people to know about my pee situation though.

    Matty lad, this is a "get to the doctor" situation, not a Quick Question Thread on P&B situation. It's not always easy to differentiate between the two, and I'm sure we all appreciate being kept in the loop with this, but I would encourage you to see your GP post-haste. Just in case, ken?

    The Candiru Fish

    Few things put the fear in me more than this fearsome beast. Terrifying creatures. I'd rather take my chances with a shark than one of these wee b*****ds. At least a shark looks you in an eye you can see with when it ruins your life.

    Try using your cock to right click your mouse.

    If it still doesn't work, its a cock problem.

    :lol:

  6. Mezzanine brought Massive Attack's sound sharply into focus, and stands as a towering achievement from one of the defining acts of the 90s, and one of the UK's greatest bands.

    100%. Monster album from a band that must surely be worthy of inclusion in any list of all-time UK musical greats. Massive Attack are fucking immense.

  7. Welcome back Colin. Nice to hear from you. Good album, good review, good to have you back!

    Agree on all fronts.

    Colin, if you're not involved in music journalism already I'd wager you could make a go of it. The reviews in this thread are as good as any pieces of writing on the subject as I've read.

    Looking forward to the rest of the top ten.

  8. Tremendous result.

    First time I've ever done a big goals galore thing....10 matches and ultimately was 2 goals from £750. I too would've done exactly what you've just described. Not sure how popular the format is but when I see the number of games that have both teams scoring I keep thinking there's money to be made here............in saying that I also had a 4 match version which faltered on a single goal (thanks St Mirren).;)

    As a recreational gambler who, for the most part, only stakes the price of a pint on a Saturday for a bit of fun, the Goals Rush/Both Teams To Score coupon always struck me as one you think has a reasonable chance of winning with. There's no real science to it, and it often keeps you entertained right up until full time. I've come close quite a few times, missing out by a goal or two. I always had the inkling it would eventually come good one day.

    I'd love to have CCTV footage of my reaction when the last goal came in. Brilliant moment, and I did completely lose my shit for a while. I've had several moments over the weekend since where I've remembered I won close on £600 from a £2 bet yesterday. It's still making me smile and punch the air victoriously even now. biggrin.gif

    I think the most I ever won prior to yesterday was £125. Winning £600 is fucking mind blowing to me. I felt like the Daddy Mac of the gambling world going into Ladbrokes to cash that bad boy in, like. My wallet has rarely bulged like that. I also enjoyed the look and nod of congratulations from some old boy who looked like he lived in the bookies full time as he stood next to me at the counter as my money was being counted out. Perhaps I should've attempted to look as if I won like that all the time nae bather, but I was unable to stop myself barking like a seal and clapping for the duration of my time in the shop. The boy kent a lucky amateur when he saw one.

  9. £595 off an 11-game Goal Rush with a £2 stake. I had four last minute or injury time goals in to win it. I was ticking them off and eventually thinking, fucking hell, I just need a goal from Blackpool to win here. No sooner had the thought passed through my head than it popped up on the the vidiprinter. Tell you what, I went mental. Absolutely fucking mental. It was quarter past five before I stopped running around in circles screaming YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!

    My biggest ever win, and by some margin. Absolutely delighted!

    I fucking knew one of these daft lines would come in one day. biggrin.gif

  10. Dundee whores page is mai news on the front page of the dundee courier today,mothers are outraged.

    Headline:

    'Dundee Whores' Facebook page shut down amid police probe

    Police have launched a probe after dozens of pictures of semi-naked girls — some believed to be as young as 14 — were posted on Facebook.

    From the comments: "While the Poluce are investigating who is behind this, I think they should be investigating the motives of the "more than 1,000" who signed up for this. They have some serious explaining to do"

    There is a Dundee Whores page, and it really is fucking grim. Enjoy! :lol:

    I've put it in spoilers, you've been warned.

    A couple of names have been put up too, might need to try and find some of them!

    Have found a few already. Thanks for notifying us of the page, Turbo.

    Just a couple of guys with some explaining to do.

    Good luck, gentleman. :D

  11. 100 pages of Horrific Club Photo goodness. Great thread.

    I'm hoping for a return of the Tacheman at some point. Guaranteed he's still out there, it's probably just been a case he's already pulled and is already pleasuring the unfortunate woman with the kind of sex you have to imagine ruins lives by the time the club photographer turns up. The Samaritans probably have a mobile unit stationed outside the boy's house every weekend. Some poor dame stumbling out of there with a thousand yard stare, a jizz-stained dress, their soul in fucking tatters and underwear already hanging up in the trophy room upstairs. Oh lordy what to do when the romance is gone.

    Sickening, in a semi-erection-just-thinking-about-it kind of way.

  12. I seen a pub cat in Reading last year. It's fucking bizzaro land down there.

    I've been to Reading twice and there were no cats anywhere near the pubs. Never lie to me again, Sherrif. I'm letting this slide once because I think you're sound, but further non-truths will lead to bad times.

    The feline species is not welcome in pubs. Canines have their own bowls of liquid refreshment brought out by the bar staff as they hold court among human patrons.

    Who's winning?

    Exactly.

  13. I just left a message on my biggest cat-loving pal's answering machine. She's often claimed dogs to be "stupid" and "needy" as she insists cats are oh-so-much-better. I've never quite managed to shoot her stubborn arse down on it and offer a good enough argument to make her think otherwise.

    Until now, motherfucker.

    Friday morning's going to start with a healthy, nourishing breakfast of Telt and f**k You and Your Cat.

    On a roll.

    With broon fucking sauce.

  14. Pub dogs are always fantastic beasts. They tend to be older dugs who love a bit of attention. When you scratch behind their ears they just love it and give you that " you are my pure scratching hero and I love you " look.

    Jimmer was 11 years old. His face was as filled with wisdom as that of any ageing human. He was like a wee man. I might have been a bit tipsy but I got the feeling Jimmer looked right inside of me, understood what was going on and was transmitting his positive energy in the hope I might receive it, make use of it for my own cause and pass it to another when I think they need it. We're talking a Jedi-level dog here. He couldn't talk, but he communicated with me easily enough. Better than many humans could, actually. I'd take a few minutes with a super cool soul dog over a lifetime with a human with speech and nothing to say.

    People who prefer cats to dogs have never met a Jimmer.
