Are you tired of listening to crap on the radio sung by young bands with mis-spelt names (e.g. Mis-teeq, N-sync etc) then get your arse down to your local independent CD retailer, (non of your Virgin or Our-price big stores), and buy the Charlatans new album "Wonderland".

It rocks, you'll feel better and I'll have told you so!

*Waves hand casually* You WILL go and buy the album.

I've already ordered it.

Hmmm..never heard of em.

What do you think waving your hand like that? You think you're some kind of Jedi or something? Mind tricks don't work on me.

'm not surprised, there an english band from manchester i think, there probably the most consistent band this country has had in the last 10 years, even more so than oasis, i'm not counting u2, you can find lots of their songs on mp3 sites, well worth the download.

Personally, I am a little tired of people telling me what I should listen to...

Then don't listen.

Trust me, I won't...

wanna know about a good band RC?

I dont have any money to buy this new "Wonderbraw" CD. The Smashing Pumpkins are coming out with a 'Best Of' CD, a B-side, and two DVD's, I wont have enough dough for the Charlestons, or whatever their called

And here the CD will be out, let's say... next year

Why does it take so long for everything to come out in Belgium? You people need to take charge! Demand that products be released in a timely fashion in Belgium, or you will hold all those delicious, mouth watering, better then sex choclates, for yourselves! That's when you'll see progress!!!!!!!!!

Because there are a lot of 'Limburgers' in Belgium
aaand theeeeeeeey aaaaaaaaaaaaaaare slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

What's a "limburger"?

hmmm..cheese I think.

With Belgian choclates and cheese who needs women?

I would go for man....

ehh what about posting a picture yerssot ?

*waits patiently for picture of limburger*

well I was thinking more in a line of a picture of yerssot, how about it Roy.

*waits patiently for picture of limburger and yersott*

Well, yerssot, there's always Amazon these days. You can get any CD you want at any time.

I want to spear you the pic of the limburger and ESPACCIALY one of myself!

As much as I do actually like the charlatons. That album really doesn't scream "Buy me! Buy me!" at the moment! Sorry! Besides I have bought so many damn albums lately that it would break the bank I'm afraid! And next on my list of CDs to buy is actually a counting crows album anyway.

Counting Crows kick ass!

I know! I like colourblind. Just Lurrrrve that song so much!

Finally, you and I agree on something

Yep! Amazing isn't it! Hey we agreed on Smashing pumpkins didn't we? Looks like our tastes in music may be the only thing where we don't end up arguing!

Let's cherish that!

Ah! The blissful non-argumentative calm! Quite tranquil really!

I know, let's fight

But I don't want to!

Ok, Ok, I'll have to be careful from now on, knowing that you can send your uncle to kick my lucious rump!

her uncle or any other girls around Dallas

HEY!, that's just a vicious rumor

Oh yes, my necromances are spread around the world!

Yup. And your necromancers too, I'll be bound.

I missed the R! So sue me! Are you not surprised a such a long and unusual word being in my vocabulary?

I'd be more surprised if I missed an opportunity to needle you like that.

I'm surprised!

If anyone needs convincing borrow a copy of the album and listen to "a man needs to be told", that'll do it.

I'll download it off Morpheus

does the word illegal mean anything to you

Yes it means that it is not allowed

Finti, ever the generous and knowledgable sage, has struck again...

Yes, something should be done about this one......he knows too much.

Indeed I am powerful as everybody has foreseen. and I know it all beside French

HHAAAA!!! His weakness!
Bring in the French People!

*French people swarm around finti and babble aimlessly at him*

Finti starts to hand out soaps, "if you add water to this soap bar you may clean yourselves, I know its a new thing and a bit scary, but please for our sake take a bath"

*Calls the French anti defamation league*

That's why the French make so much perfume.

make it ok, but why dont they wear some?

My favorite scent is Armani's Auqa di Gio and then Hugo by Hugo Boss

I use Jean Paul Gautiere and Azzaro and Jazz and 1867 and..... I dont remember any more at the moment.

Petrol!.......mmmmmmmmm.........petrol! What a scent!

I think every man should have a bottle of Old Spice, it's a classic

Yeah for the geriatric department in a Florida retirement resort.

Florida, now that's a state that resembles a penis

Every man should have a can of petrol.

Looks in the Filofax, hmmm a limp one maybe

Hey it's Florida, home of the old and retired Well guys gotta go, class starts at 12:00.

bee good and study hard

Mmmm! Petrol! And don't forget the wet paint! Mmmm wet paint!

Well we know what to get Edna for Christmas. And I wouldn't mind some either.

Texas' Christmas gift for Edna: BLACK paint

"I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!" -
Rolling Stones

*paints Finti*

"Paint...me right. Can you feel the heat in me tonight? Oh I, I'm the pearl...Paint your love all over my world."-

Roxette not aimed at you Tex

Than we need a LOT of paint

and petrol!

I know this is probably a stupid question, but is petrol the same as gasoline?

good question......

Certainly is.

Sweettt!!!!! From now on, I am going to use the word petrol. 'Dad, give me your Texaco card, I need petrol!' 'Have you been to the petrol station lately? The prices are outrageous!' Oh, I like that word, petrol, petrol, petrol!!!!!!!

Well, that's part 1 of your UK survival guide, Tex...

You know what else I like about you English people? You hardly use the word the. Like you say, I'm going to hospital, or I'm going to university, you never say the. In the US we always say the. From now on I am rebelling against the.

So long as you don't think we use kilometres.

Oh that's one thing I dont like, metric system!!! (notice I didn't say the metric system, I just said metric system) You've just witnessed rebellion in action Well Ush gotta go, Going to see 'The Others' tonight, here it's scarry! Nighty nite!

Ok, bye... but we would use 'the' in that situation.

Just got back from seeing 'The Others', it kicks major ass, classic horror flick Very scarrry....Booooooooo!!!!!

I think it is fine that we use different meassure systems, why make it easy

Everyone should make one up and stick to it. From now on I'm using the word "sheeps" instead of "miles".

I must quickly get out of my pad, hop into the lift, bounce into my automobile, fill up with petrol and be on my way to university for tea time. How's that for British?

not quite gay enough. j/k

I've never used the word "hop" or "pad" before.

I would say "I need to get out of the house, fill my motor up with petrol and get to Uni before lunch time".

Haggies for lunch?

Tex why have you decided to be all brit all of a sudden. I mean I know our country is far better than texas but you are American for christ sake! Stop trying to be british!

Why you're both English speaking?

Ok Frenchy or is it Duchman.

I don't there is a person in the country who would seriously use 'Automobile' in a sentence unless they are talking about the AA (a car owner's association and breakdown service and the source of several thousand jokes about alcoholics).

Originally posted by Edna I am frankly a little disappointed in you Edna, we Brits need to stick together! Now excuse me while I go dust my picture of the Queen Mum.

Now, I'm sure I know a good joke about her...

There will be no jokes about the Queen Mum today! Bless her soul! Now excuse me while I get pissed and have some ****

That last bit is certainly something you don't want to say in the States, eh?

I got that from Onslo on 'Keeping Up Appearances', my favorite show on tele!

Hmmm... not an unfunny show, exactly, but it is basically the same joke made in a hundred increasingly less distinctive ways...

I love Hyacenth and Emmit and Elizabeth and Rose and her sister Violet, the one with a mercedes, sauna and room for a pony! I like 'Keeping up Appearance' too, the old one, not the farm one. God, that one lady who was really hot in the old show got really old and fat!

Judge us not by that pants program, or we'll be forced to assume life in the states is just like "saved by the bell" or even "90210" - sheer annoying guffaw stuff by anyone's standards.

Has anyone been into a shop and listened to any of the tracks from "Wonderland" yet? I feel the topic has meandered enough!

No and I wont either. Monika wants me to by Nelly Furtado, The "Turn off the light" is ok, but an entire album of that stuff , Well I can buy it too her,but then she have to agree dont play it while I am in the house.
Democratic or what?, either my music or no music

From your era Finti I like quite a lot: -

Ozzy Osbourne, Bob Dylan, Janes addiction (may be a little new for you that one), etc

You should broaden your horizons my good man. Flow with the stream, don't stay in the stagnant pool.

My "Wonderland" album still hasn't arrived.

I cant force myself to like something just to go with the flow. Shheeps tend to do that. Well I for one dont like too much of Janes Addiction, of the more "new " stuff I like Nirvana, Red Hot Chillie Pepper, Faith No More, Soundgarden, Supergrass

:hakes head in disbelief::

Such obvious distinction....

I like all of them, Daisy and Rose and Father and their car! Oh remember that episode how Richard and Hyacinth stole the Rolls Royce, hilarious!!!

I like Ozzy.......

Ya know, it's amazing to me how we (the brits) can export the crappiest pieces of Brit TV to you (the yanks) and you lap it up!!!

They still like Benny Hill out there, I hear...

Yeah Benny Hill is pretty big too. Never heard of Ozzy, I've heard of Chef, which really sucks, and that Red Dwarf show, which looks really cheap, Mr. Bean, he's totally kewl! Farscape, which looks really kewl, The Vickor of Didley,(or something like that), and that show where Mr. Bean is a cop, which really sucks too! Oh, and that one show with that one guy who walks down the alley and he is taken back to WWII. I forgot the name of that show. All those come on PBS, and Farscapes on the Sci Fi Channel. I watch too much TV.

Never heard of Ozzy, Ozzy Osbourne lead singer with Black Sabbath and a legend within the heavy meatal arena.

I prefer Bob Dylan

I think Gundy might have meant Onzlo...?

Nah, Gundy is a Black Sabbath and Ozzy fan she is Rock`n`Roll big time. She definitely meant Ozzy.

Ok, Gundy, come settle this. Onzlo fits with the flow of the thread at the time and Ozzy fits with your rock chick musical tastes,

So, which was it???

I saw Ozzy live once, the "No rest for the wicked" tour I think, I was quite young. He was cool though and everyone should own the "talk to the devil" album, it rocks!

Starting to get to know the tracks on the Wonderland album and I think "Judas" is my current fave. That's the thing with the Charlatans, no album sounds the same. From the last album my fave was "Forever" 7 1/2 minutes of sheer genius.

Ozzy's wife used to manage my favorite band, The Smashing Pumpkins, but they got in a really big fight and fired the *****. Since then, I have officially boycotted anthing Ozzy!

Is that Ozzys fault?

Farscape is Australian. Chef is very British humour; I don;t know why they even bothered trying it anywhere else. Ditto for Thin Blue Line (the other Rowan Atkinson thing; sod Mr. bean, what it isn;t a patch on is Blackadder!).

Guy who walks down the alley and is taken to WWII... Goodnight Sweetheart, that's it! Good early series, crud later ones.

But the last episode had a great twist...

Granted.

What happens in the last episode?

Posted by Finti.

Ok Gundy settle this

Sorry RC....I did mean Ozzy Osbourne. Actually I never heard of Onzlo. Put another notch in your blaster, fin !

Red dwarf was meant to look cheap! It was ace! Well the last series was a little lacking in something but the earlier ones were incredible! And keeping up appearances is the biggest load of rubbish I have ever seen. It just annoys me to watch it! Really grates on my nerves!

But if you really want to be british Tex then stop confusing aussie stuff with British stuff They will throw you out of the country for that you know! Farscape - british? Pah!

I am getting so tired of beeing right all the time
another notch hatched in the hilt of .. eehhh in the bar desk.

Welllllll excccuuuussseeee meeeeee!!!!! They all have British accents on that show, how was I suppose to know it was Australian?

Keeping Up Appearances ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! and dont you forget it

Err... actually, most of them have Australian accents, Tex.

I don't need a gun. I've got a Dunk.

Really Ush? I sounds 100% British to me, except that one dude with the American accent. This is starting to give me a headache, futuristic Australian aliens with British accents.....I need a drink!

The lead guy is American, the Peacekeepers are English, everyone else is Australian.

Gotcha

Gundy, are you making quotes from Crocodile Dundee?

Shame on you.

And Tex, if you think a fat ugly bird pretending to be posh is funny, then you'd just love my ex-missus!

Okay, closing now.
