Lol.

Noel Gallagher on gogglebox. Sheesh....

Didn't see Gogglebox it does my head in, but he looked like a complete jebend on the trailers.

Fist

He's a tedious bell end who has not made a decent record in at least ten years. 60 odd quid to go and see him is taking the pee as well.

Morning all

Must admit Jeff, have to agree, as much as I have liked his music in the past, he is turning into a caricature of himself as much as the total texan that is his brother...

Morning Jeff

Suspect tina is going to tell me off for being a music snob shortly. To be nice to Noel though, his solo stuff is better than Beady Eye, now they are gash.

I prefer Noel to Liam, always have, but comparing his solo stuff to Beady Eye, is like comparing crabs to scrofula...

James Blunt has now got an agony uncle column in the Metro, love or hate his music, he is a funny guy...

Morning brethren.
I shall soon post round 1 of the quiz that I wrote, that I quiz-mastered last Friday.

Not at all.  That isn't really musical snobbery.

This is (paraphrasing)

Jeffrey wrote: Coldplay are for people who don't like music

I don't like Coldplay.  In fact, I f*cking hate Coldplay, but that is just you being a c*nt.  Nothing more, nothing less.  Pompous, sanctimonious musical c*nttery at it's finest.

Morning, by the way.

Morning Jules, morning Tino

I really thought I was on the verge of a Wendyball breakthrough.

Well played to you.

Yes! I knew it was one of the two, I never could distinguish Miles from Coltrane.

Blue Jasmine is the Woody Allen film. Blanchett is brilliant.

snobbery

A Kind of Blue is a personal favourite of mine. Played poker at the weekend and listened to this. Jazz works remarkably well as an accompaniment to poker.

Picasso - yes
Blue Jasmine - yes

Tv theme - both wrong (Adam - the theme of the round is 'blue')

She's the finest actress of her generation Sean, would not have thought that was even up for debate.

Rowley wrote:She's the finest actress of her generation Sean, would not have thought that was even up for debate.

She's got a deep voice. Reckon she'd be quite powerful in bed.

Oh.

Blue Peter - that has a nautical theme and the colour Blue!

Blue Peter - correct

All answers updated on my 8:36 post.

Hell's teeth, that was an early start. Is the link that it is blue things?

snobbery

Agreed. On top of that Jeff probably pronounces it "Blarn-shett".

Union Cane wrote:Hell's teeth, that was an early start. Is the link that it is blue things?

Yes - hence the round is called 'Up the Blues' - named after one of the regular quiz teams

Round 2 (of 8) later - "Alphabet Street"

4. What 2 colours are either side of blue in the visible spectrum. Violet & green - kingraf

According to Richard Of York, it is green and indigo...

The main Wikipedia page for the visible spectrum gives violet & green. When I researched it a bit, it turns out that indigo is now considered another shade of blue and from the scientific viewpoint is no longer classified as being separate from blue.

Bloody right, Jules. I used to get all sorts of sh*t on the old Culture Cup last year.

I got about 30 PM's a day complaining about results.

I wonder what happened to that Culture Cup? It was great fun.

I don't mind doing something, especially as I'm at home a lot at the moment, but Hero was going to do that World Cup of music thingy so I haven't really bothered.

You need to chase Hero, not me.
