  1. Sorry 2 offend u m8.

    If you actually know the album you'll have realized that the 3 favourite Pixies songs I posted are all from Trompe Le Monde, so I have to ask why is it hard to believe that it's my favourite of their releases? Because you don't personally like it? Odd behaviour.

    Surfer Rosa has 3 or 4 of Pixies best songs, but it also has a lot filler. The 2nd half of the album is ordinary. Tony's Theme, Oh My Golly and I'm Amazed are all nothing songs that don't do anything for me.

    I think the Pixies were at their best when they went with a more sombre, melancholy type of song, and Trompe Le Monde showcases Pixies best songs of that nature IMO. Head On, Letter To Memphis, Bird Dreams of the Olympus Mons, Motorway To Roswell are all brilliant songs of this nature on Trompe Le Monde. I think it's a terrific album. Every song from Head On down to Najavo Way are all great tracks that never get skipped if they come on in shuffle, other than Lovely Day which I don't really like.

  2. Get a 21st century phone. Most modern mobiles will recognise that you're looking at the screen and display the appropriate numbers and options.

    I don't think you understand technology, m8. Phones these days auto-lock after a period of in-activity. That's just peachy for most things, but when you're in the middle of a phonecall, it's a pain in the hoop.

    Pls educate urselgf.

  3. If it's wringing, that's probably why nothing else works properly.

    I managed to edit it before you hit submit = a win for me. 8)

    edit: it's a testament to P&B that I knew somebody was going to make that shite joke within 3 seconds of my spotting the error. And viola, less than a minute later there it is. :lol:

  4. When you're talking/about to talk on the phone, and you have to move the device from your ear to look at the screen and up the volume, see if it's ringing, enter a digit etc and the thing is fucking locked. And then you have to spend 5 seconds unlocking it, and you miss whatever happens on the other end. Does my fucking tits in.

  5. As good as it is for him. I dont remember ibrahimovic , walcott bale oxlade or even sterling playing reserve team football in portugal when they were 19 or championship with hull in the case of robertson. They will have good successfull careers by anyones standards but i cant see him being a stand out player that can carry a bang average scotland team like bale does with wales or even siggurdson with iceland

    Gylfi Siggurdson was on loan at Shewsbury Town from Reading when he was 19. What an odd comparison.

  6. That's presuming that everyone who likes the Stone Roses are like the people you describe in your post.

    Obviously you wouldn't be making such a silly generalisation now, would you?

    Not really. More the other way round.

    p.s Fools Gold extended version is an excellent song. The rest of their catalogue is mince.

  8. Darren Fletcher was from 2009 - injury every bit as good as Essien, De Jong, Mascherano etc.

    If you're making a top 10 of defensive midfielders from that period, then he'd be in it everytime.

    As I said on the first page, go and watch the 2 legs of the 2010 Champions League QF between Man Utd and Milan and try and tell me Darren Fletcher wasn't an outstanding footballer.
