Number 1 is the Foo Fighters but I can't remember the song without cheating.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 2:32 pm

I'll give Tino Foo Fighters and B-52's

by **seanmichaels** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 2:33 pm

Adam gets Phil Collins

Is the link something to do with WWII planes?

B-52's is obvious. Foo Fighters were what US pilots called UFO's or something along those lines

by **seanmichaels** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 2:35 pm

Incorrect. Good though.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 2:41 pm

2 is Don Henley - Boys of summer

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 2:42 pm

Is the link things that fly - except Don Henley because he was no longer an Eagle?

by Adam D Mon 03 Nov 2014, 2:45 pm

Is it something to do with cocktails?

Tom COLLINS
B52
Foo Foo
Summer (breeze)

by **seanmichaels** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 2:56 pm

All good but all wrong.

by Guest Mon 03 Nov 2014, 2:57 pm

Is it names sean has given his Hampton over the years?

by **seanmichaels** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 3:00 pm

I would have had a Whitesnake number if that was the case Dave.

Well if you say so.

Don Henley was the drummer in the Eagles. Phil Collins was the drummer in the Eagles.
Dave Grohl was the drummer in Nirvana.
Was Fred Schneider a drummer in another band?

by **seanmichaels** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 3:21 pm

There is an odd one out. You're on the right lines though

by Adam D Mon 03 Nov 2014, 3:24 pm

So the other song is either Charlie Watts, Ringo Starr, Roget Taylor or Keith Moon I guess!

I would guess that its drummers who have had succesfull careers as singers too. Except for Fred Scheider who played guitar from memory?

Most rock guitarists play from memory. Seldom do you see sheet music at a gig.

by **seanmichaels** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 3:26 pm

4.) Ringo Starr - It don't come easy.

Odd one out B52's as their lead guitarist became the drummer when the original drummer got the AIDS.

Should have seen TYPE O NEGATIVE at Graspop in 2007 then. Mind you, Pete Steele was allegedly ****ed out of his mind at the time thus the necessity for an "aide memoire" Don't wish to defame the dead but they were f*cking awful

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 03 Nov 2014, 3:43 pm

Surely TYPE O NEGATIVE would be bloody awful?

by Guest Mon 03 Nov 2014, 4:45 pm

You'd think that but they apparently signed their record deal with Roadrunner records in a mixture of blood and semen, so maybe I have a point.

Morning All

I have nothing to say but thought I would knock the U2 thread off the top...

Morning Ricko. Bit nippy down here in the South. How is it in Bradders?

Interestingly, the Kings of Leon sound like U2. ~~Jeff~~ ~~Superfly~~ Liam Gallagher says so.

by **rIck_dAgless** Tue 04 Nov 2014, 8:11 am

Like Pearl Harbour here as well Tino but a lovely autumnal feel about it, I park in an indoor car park so none of that windscreen scraping lark, which is always nice.

Originally the Kings of Leon sounded like a bunch of drunken hicks, they were great.

Morning by the way.

by Mind the windows Tino. Tue 04 Nov 2014, 8:17 am

I had a very cold drive to the nearest town, followed by a very cold wait at a platform. Followed by a horrible train journey which meant I was too close to other human beings to feel comfortable.

Then a scrum to get down to the underground, followed by some general rudeness and elbow wrestling to get on the tube. Then a brief but very cold walk to the office.

Then general shouts of "jumper w*nker" and various other hilarious jibes before reaching the sanctuary of my desk and a warming cup of coffee.

Life's a constant battle, Ricko, a constant battle.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue 04 Nov 2014, 8:21 am

It's the jumpers that are the root cause of it all Tino. Your life would be so much better without them.

by **seanmichaels** Tue 04 Nov 2014, 8:22 am

Ha, jumper w#nker. I'm wearing a baby blue 'jersey' from Reiss today. A friend I've known since school is shacked up with the missus's sister and he has more money than he can spend. As a result I have a wardrobe of slightly effeminate 'jerseys' that she shrunk in the wash.

You say that Jules, but we are heading into winter. Surely that would be the worst time to dispense with them?

by **seanmichaels** Tue 04 Nov 2014, 8:29 am

Jumpers also mean you don't need to iron a shirt in the morning.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue 04 Nov 2014, 8:30 am

Heavy coat*, scarf, gloves, some sort of woollen headwear if it's frosty.
I'm assuming your office isn't criminally underheated and thus nothing more than a shirt is required indoors. I'm also assuming you would never stoop to short-sleeved shirts, in summer or in winter.

*Nothing Galted would wear though.

So does being a gardener. Another reason for you to change career.

Missus saw a clairevoyant (I don't want to know how to spell it properly) at the weekend. Despite not ever meeting me the nosey tw@t had several oinions of me including I won't be happy till I work outside.

Actually waiting to hear back from an interesting job application. Next generation pitches like Saracens and Spartak Moscow.

I had a pleasant journey in a nice warm car, heated seats, radio on and no traffic if it makes you feel better Tino.

Though I am thinking scarf for the journey from car park at office, to the office, but then I remember I am a man of the north.

We have this toy thingy at home that the little'un sits in to stop her cracking her head open when they are learning to sit.

It's like a big soft, canvass circle with a flat middle part that they sit in and then soft outer sides that have various bells and bits of fabric for them to chew and play with.

I was watching her last night when I was alarmed to find the toy is made by a company called Galt. It has it in big letters round the side. I had never noticed it before.

After posting various times about how much he dislikes kids, wouldn't be ironic if he was actually a children's toy manufacturer.

Then it dawned on me that my youngest daughter was happily playing with Galt's ring.

Not a nice thought.

I wouldn't be inclined to place your future in the hands of a charlatan sean, although the potential job sounds like it would suit you well. My non-typing fingers are literally crossed.

Would explain a lot, especially if they produced a stuffed toy called the Galt "Ted"

by **seanmichaels** Tue 04 Nov 2014, 8:46 am

I'm in quite a jovial mood today. Old man called last night and told me he's getting married. Not being gay or owt but i think it is the first time I have ever welled up in happiness. I didn't dry.

That's because the charlatan your missus was talking to would have got that specific information from your missus. Probably without her even noticing.

F*cking frauds, the lot of them.

Good luck with the application. Let us know how you're getting on.

Told missus I was going to sue her. The (for want of a better word) gypsy said I was complex and selfish.

When she's grown out of it would you be interested in selling it to me? I could do with something like that once I have had a few.

I was quite pleased with my alliteration in 'charlatan sean'. It made me happier than it should do.
And sean's old man is getting married. It's good to be alive!

Likewise Rick, did not activate the heated seats, because it makes me feel like I have papped myself. No radio either. I decide what music gets played in my car.

P.S. Tina is right, the Tech By Tumi is an offence to humanity and should not be worn by anyone who does not receive a winter heating allowance, ever.
