Hedgecutter Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 "Stripped back" (rancid patter) versions of songs. In particular the current version of Forever Young going about. Undoubtedly enjoyed by pretentious wanks who would turn their nose up at anyone who enjoys the original.Being a classy individual, I turn my nose up at the uncultured in society who don't appreciate the Interactive happy hardcore version. Philistines the lot of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Wrapping presents. What's the point. Most things have packaging of their own. If not, they probably came with a carrier bag. I bought the wife a bottle of perfume for her birthday. It came in a box. The box was wrapped in cellophane. The orange lady in the shop gift wrapped it for me. Then put it in a branded bag. My kids insisted that the bag needed. Wrapped. Only the bottle was necessary. Five layers above that were not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trackdaybob Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Surprisingly, all this waste created by wrapping paper, gift bags, etc has not been tagged with the increasingly common "bad for the environment" label. Yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very rarely is an acoustic version of a song better than the original, or at least as good. I actually can't think of any. Not Hurt before anyone says it. The original is much better, although the Cash version is not bad. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 When someone asks you how you are and you tell them you're hungover only for the reply to be "Well you're no getting any sympathy from me!". I was simply answering your question, not asking for any fucking sympathy you wizened old hag! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Alabama 3 do an unplugged set, never knew how much amplification, mixing desk and synthesiser etc could cover up a lack of musical ability. It was awful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethlehems Gate by Deacon Blue sounds much better in the piano & vocal version imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Just realised I've been a massive idiot. Sent my sister in NZ a kit for making Crowdie cheese for her Christmas, and slipped in an envelope stuffed with cash from our Mother. I put "craft kit box" on the customs label as any food stuffs and cash are illegal to post. It hasn't arrived and both have likely been confiscated. The cheese kit was only worth about £20 so not too worried about that, but it was insane not sending the cash separately inside a Christmas card, just to save a couple of quid.
