The Culture Cup Round x - Adam is a naughty naughty boy

First topic message reminder :

Headed to the dam this weekend. God I've missed it. Girlfriend's never been and I'm undecided on whether to take her or not.

I am sure future generations will be gratefull sean, though they no longer seem to be a haven for jazz mags anymore, unless you are starting a sanctuary for retired Razzles?

Funnily enough old cricket score boxes are a great place to find adult literature.

To be honest I could well imagine bored scorers sitting in the scoreboard cracking one off over the readers wives...

Watched half a film called Safe House last night. Critically panned but I quite enjoyed it.

Also watched the last half of the battle of midway. Missus is away with work all week so I am going to be war filmed up all week. I've heard Lone Survivor with Walberg is quite good?

Morning all. Work - yay!
Interesting use of a question mark at the end of a statement sean.

It works?

Therapy?

The question mark on this bands name always used to grate...

Question marks at the end of statements really annoy me?

Unless you are writing your sentences in high rising terminal...

I am so tired I could fall asleep any moment. Can't even be bothered to go for a dump.

Where do you stand on sixties garage legends ? and the mysterions Rick?

Jeff wrote:Where do you stand on sixties garage legends ? and the mysterions Rick?

About the same to be honest Jeff, though my huge lack of musical knowledge means that this is the first I have heard of these grammatical aberrations.

Don't get me started on when Prince changed his name...

Did the original version of 96 Tears Rick, later covered by The Inspiral Carpets and The Stranglers. Fine way to start the day, with a discussion that covers both musical snobbery and grammatical pedantry.

Sh*t on here today?

I know the song so I will look them up. I like to think we are bringing the culture club back to it's roots Jeff.

The only time a star is appropriate mid-word in this particular debate Tino, is when describing Irish pop starlets B*witched.

Has Sean hacked your account Jules? Some fine ballsing up of the quote function.

Will.I.AM. must drive you insane Rick, not only is his music absolute drivel, he is also a massive tool and grammatical mine field.

How was your holiday, Jeff?

It was alright Tina, went to Hungerford which is a lovely place. Got two second hand boxing books I feel confident I will never read, so I was generally happy.

Jeff wrote:Will.I.AM. must drive you insane Rick, not only is his music absolute drivel, he is also a massive tool and grammatical mine field.

Yes. Yes he does, and it winds me up even more that one of my friends has seemingly adopted this as his earstwhile moniker on social sites, and, more irritatingly, on a ten pin bowling score screen...

Is that the place where that chap shot lots of people in the '80's?

Michael Ryan went postal.

Michael Ryan Tina, did try and discuss it with a few of the locals but none of them seemed interested. Is right what they say about southerners being ruder than us men of the north.

That's the one. Killed himself at the end, didn't he?

Southerners really are rude. I still say hello to checkout girls in the Asda and they look at you like you've asked to see their jugs or something.

Not sure if it's me being in a hurry, a bad day, or just the inevitable start of a sad mental decline.
At least I remembered Freur though.

I'm heading down that way in a week or so. Old man needs my help with the horse paddocks and stable roofing. As a proper northener, he has always said the people down there (Devizes) are the friendliest people he has met.

Perhaps it is just Jeff's sh*t chat?

I know what you mean Tino. I get the same thing. Although to be fair, I do usually say "Hello, can I see your jugs?"

Good point rick. By the way, did you ever used to watch that TV show about the doctors in the Korean War? What was it called?

Hungerford is proper posh though. Went in an Antiques shop and was looking at a table I quite liked, had no intention of buying it as it would not have fitted in my house, but it was £25,000! For a second hand table. I have never felt more northern in my life.

Yeah but I bet you say in such an endearing way that you get to see lots of boobies when you go shopping.

Julius does not go to Asda, he is a Waitrose kind of guy.

Rowley wrote:Julius does not go to Asda, he is a Waitrose kind of guy.

I think he shops in Marks and Spencer actually. Wouldn't slum it in Waitrose.

Jules wrote:Good point rick. By the way, did you ever used to watch that TV show about the doctors in the Korean War? What was it called?

Was that the one about the mobile armoured surgical hospital Jules?

Rowley wrote:Julius does not go to Asda, he is a Waitrose kind of guy.

Morrisons and Tesco as it happens. I'm not posh, just intellectual.

That's the one. Wasn't it given some sort of shorter name?

Jules wrote:That's the one. Wasn't it given some sort of shorter name?

That would make sense as it is a bit long, but naming of T.V programmes is often a hot potato.

Yes, some of them are just sh*t.

Speaking of which, there is a new comedy show coming up on C4 called "Scrotal Recall" I am yet unure whether this is good, or bad, as a name.

My guess is that anything that has to give itself such a 'wacky' name is almost certainly a pile of w*nk.

That particular similie has never sat quite right with me.

Surely it would be more of a puddle?

Possibly. I will have a think about it.

Anyone watching the BBC World news?
There's a fly giving some Iranian chap a hard time. lol.

He'd obviously need the pre-requisite fish-related surname to even be considered.

Chilli and rice, exactly what you would expect from chilli and rice.

Alex Salmond now looks like someone has drawn a sad face on a scrotum...

We could set up our own Scotland ruling fish name party.

Mind the windows Tuna

Sean Pikels

The Loaded Dogfish

Etc...

That's almost certainly what Super looks like. Just add ginger hair to the image and you're there.

Ham, cheese and mayo sandwich on thick white bread. Had to pop into town to get some decent bread but it was worth it. Lovely stuff.

Some plain Hula-Hoops and a bar of fruit and nut. Washed down with a can of coke zero.
