19QOS19 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Slash of Guns 'n' Roses claims he was just dicking around playing something really daft one day when Axl Rose grabbed onto it and was determined they could make a good song out of it - Sweet Child O' Mine. Slash was still amazed anyone took it seriously, last I heard. Indeed. They were sitting around and Slash started to play the riff saying it sounded like a circus theme or some such thing and as you say Axl jumped onto it and told him to remember it incase he could take it further. Obviously they did go back and Sweet Child O' Mine was created. Another fact about the song is that they had absolutely no idea how to finish it. After the second verse someone asked "Where do we go now?" and again Axl just ran with that. I can understand why fans get fed up with certain songs. That isn't Guns N Roses' best song but it's probably the most well known (just edging out Paradise City). I'm a big GnR fan and when I listen to them I rarely put that particular song on. But if I'm at a party and it comes on I'll be bouncing away to it and similarly every hardcore fan who was at London a couple of weeks ago seeing them would have went mental had they not played it even though it's likely not their favourite song. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 When somebody told me earlier that dogs poop in a north-south alignment, I thought a) that they were a Hedgecutter-type wind-up as a bit of payback, and b) it would be a good one to steal for the Facts You made Up thread. However, seems it's true: https://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2014/jan/08/dogs-defecate-earths-magnetic-field-research-finds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that Bradley has been able to do some great things but why haven't more terminally ill children been able to do these things? Why him? Same with the wee lad Jay Beattie. It's rubbish he's got a disability and it's great seeing him have the time of his life, but surely similar efforts can be made in similar cases? See this is my issue, Accies have jumped on the Jay Beattie bandwagon a few times now and it's cringe inducing especially when there are plenty of disabled young Accies fans who aren't given half the treatment that Jay and his family have recieved from the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Seen this today whilst driving through Germany:lol: It means something along the lines of We Find You or We search for you but even then[emoji38] Reminds me of a conversation I had yesterday about a Hungarian woman called Fanny Kiss. Got a business-related email from her years ago and thought it was a blatant windup. Scotland must be a rage-inducing place to live for her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Pikey Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Spent my whole working life surrounded by men. Now sharing an office with a woman who is living up to and in fact exceeding my sexist expectations. IE .. Needs a boot in the pie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky to even get a point with Kane's equaliser right at the death.

The_Kincardine Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I went for a pint with a 'colleague' after work and we were sitting in the rather pleasant ivy-clad smoking area. A group of 3 women and 2 blokes sat at the table opposite us and had what looked like pints of cider (as the glasses had ice in them) for the girls and pints of lager for the blokes. One of the girls put her glass on the table, went back to the bar, then returned with 5 straws. They all then started to drink through their straws. Pub culture is fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has to a crime. If its not it fecking should be. What sort of pub has locals that accept that kind of behaviour? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
