  • Must admit, I heard all the hype about The Mighty Boosh, and thought I'd HATE it.

    But I watched the first series and found it bloody funny!

    Henry - there's nowt wrong with a bit of childhood nostalgia, even though it may be somewhat rose-tinted. You rarely get the sense of adventure / wonder as you get older.

    You're right about 95% of *everything* being crap, tho ;-)

    Agree, the stuff that had impacted on you as a kid/teenager is always the most potent. Whatever comes later no matter how good will never seem quite as wonderful or exciting.

    Very true Henry, though late winners v Palarse at Sellout are still VERY exciting, as they keep finding new ways to upset us.

    Riscardo, my dear friend, garage was a term first coined in the sixties, to describe the kind of music the California "punk" bands were playing, check out the Pebbles Label.

    Garage rock is a raw form of rock and roll that was first popular in the United States and Canada from about 1963 to 1967.[1] During the 1960s, it was not recognized as a separate music genre and had no specific name. In the early 1970s, some rock critics retroactively labelled it as punk rock. However, the music style was later referred to as garage rock or '60s Punk to avoid confusion with the music of late-1970s punk rock bands such as the Sex Pistols and The Clash.

    There you go, so wasnt really referred to as Garage Rock until the mid 80's when the term Garage was already being used by the Paradise Garage lot.

    Maybe they should have sat down and sorted it out

    I would query that describtion of "garage" being coined with punk. Certainly Charles Shaar Murrey described the Clash as "the sort of Garage band that should go back to the garage and leave the engine running in 1976" thus inspiring "Garageland" on the first and best Clash LP.

    Intersting Rick, however I can personally vouch for the term from the early eighties, 'cos we were using it then, and Henry's story puts it even earlier.
    This is just like an episode of "Balderdash and Piffle", perhaps we should get Victoria Coren on the case...
  • The Garage Rock I used to do was pure shite. But it was a nice garage.

    Hmmmm, an interesting one. I didn't see the thinking behind vegetarian mince, sausages etc until a young girl put me in my place by saying it was really for people whom for dietary reasons could not eat meat (illness) not for hippies.

    MIDDLE LANE DRIVERS

    I fecking hate the selfish, ignorant bastards. Sometimes I so wish I had a pair of Browning 303s in my front bumper.
  • One thing you can't knock the Germans for is middle lane driving they use the inside then move out to overtake and move back in again.

    Drives (no pun) me mental too
  • It means, in other words, stop grumbling about all sorts of pointless, irrelevant bollocks, and worry about important stuff.
    Some of the comments on this thread are just plain daft. I often defend Golfie for example, but how can you criticise the no-smoking ban, on the grounds of democracy?

    Besides, I missed a sitter in the charity match. Still not happy about it!

    So you must be German - judging by the logic of this thread.
  • Maybe the middle lane drivers 'don't get' lorry drivers.
    Maybe quorn eaters 'don't get' meat-eaters.
    Maybe people who walk reading a book 'don't get' people who put a good book down.

    If everyone were the same, the human race would cease to exist. That would be tidy.

  • Absolutely, however if we didn't voice our differing opinions on what flicks one mans switch but not another life would also be a bit dull eh?

    For example Medders would rather go to a game of rugger than to a game at the Valley, but thats his thing. Who are we to knock him?
  • [cite]Posted By: Carter[/cite] Who are we to knock him?

    It would take a lot of money for me to 'knock' Medders.
  • fao Jimmy Melrose!!!

    Human's Lib! A blast from the past - I was about 12 when that came out - had it on cassette. People take the piss out of him, completely uncool, but I thought his songwriting (and lyrics) were great!!!

    Lines like that sum it all up. Simple but true!
  • But what we DO need:

    Human rights for the individual.
    Then we wouldn't need any PC b*llox, racial or sex discrimination acts, or anything else. .......
  • Chinese women, asking to have chinese new years day off at work - manager then say's fine, i'll give you sick pay

    I'm sure if i asked to have new years day off, a week or so before i was due to work it, i would get told to do one.

    Toothache, hate it!

    People who wear these expensive bling bling watches, and then turn round to you and say "you got the time mate" ????

  • watched room 101 last night which reminded me of this thread. I must say I did laugh a few times.

    Ken Livingstone, Global Warming, Dogs in the City, BBQ's, budget airlines, i can't remember what else went in there.
