OK, this doesn't belong here, I know, but why don't have a little "Poo" corner?
I'm stood in it now Hank. With me face to the wall. Nice scooter though...

George Lamb. The DJ and Big Brother guy. What a bell end. When I mentioned Ivy Style to some people the other day. They said "Oh, like George Lamb?". He wears a dickie bow, bum freezer jacket, half mast pants, no socks and plimsolls. He says he is pioneering Ivy league style apparently... Tool!
Yeah, they plugged Liam's clothes label in The Times a few weeks back, its utter crap, a couple of naff logo t-shirts and a super sized parka. The gobshite even had the cheek to steel the name of his cheap scam from the opening track from The Jam's 'Sound Effects'. Heresy.
Still, he does need a second income, can't rely on royalties of only the second biggest pub band in the world, after Status Quo.
I was watching a terrible movie last night:
Cadillac Records.
The story of Chess records.
Beyoncé Knowles is not Etta James. She's not even an actress. Acting was bad in general.
All my idols, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Howlin Wolf, Chuck Berry were reduced to caricatures.... The script was awful. Pathetic dialogues.
They showed the "rivalry" between Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf as if it was a rivalry between football teams. One of the worst scenes was set in some Chicago blues bar. They tried to show some kind of battle of bands in the "chitlin circuit". Muddy Waters Band went on stage while some other band was playing and they started to play as well as if this was a fight for volume...
The author/director/production team obviously had no feeling for music at all. I have no idea why they couldn't at least use the original songs for the soundtrack.
This movie was annoying, a waste of time...
It's not that they bent the facts, it wasn't supposed to be a documentary... It's just a bad movie, I thought...
headlights = mod-bling?
crap band, crap clothes. Oasis got marginally popular when I was in high school......prefer Blur myself, though I don't rate either too highly.
28 here.
yeah, oasis isn't the worst, but far from the best. Maybe passable @ best. Damon Albarn from blur has done some cool work solo, and the gorillaz stuff isn't un-appealing.
or perhaps that's the wine talking.
My familiarity with mods'n'scooters begins and ends with quadrophenia i'm afraid. hopefully someone will be along to learn us shortly brownshoe
I think 'mods', as in not 'modernists'/'stylists' whatever, started doing it in the early/mid 60s when there was a law introduced or something to have mirrors. So in a bit of a piss take I think lots of mirrors started getting added and it just sort of took of. But I might be very wrong.
Always thought it was a perfectly good way to ruin a cool italian scooter. His clothes are a pretty bad cliché, bit like fancy dress almost!

My friend taught Liam at a Manchester school. She described him as "educationally subnormal" I think this might sum it all up....
