The General Conversation Area

Hello everyone.

'tis my first day of work today! The day I shall be shown what to do and how to work in a pub/restaurant. Tonight is a private event for 'close friends and family' which, I suppose, is the perfect chance to show new workers how to carry out their jobs.

Apparently the Gibert O'Sullivan songs were so badly received by MI viewers that they only lasted one week. I always skip the horrible things when listening to my song collection CD, so their omission from the R1 DVDs caused me little heartache.

It's not normally my sort of music either, but I have a real thing for downbeat material set to an upbeat tune. It manages to evoke a kind of gleeful abandon that sits very well with me. A lot of Manic Street Preachers songs are like that too, particullarly the early ones like Little Baby Nothing and La Tristesse Durera. who would have thought you'd be able to sing along to catchy tunes about the objectification of women or forgotten war veterans?
 
Hey Mono. How's the weather where you are? It's beautiful up here. Need my shades agian. 8)

Little Baby Nothing is an awesome song. Cheesy as hell, but awesome :)

Argh, I just can't talk about that song and not mention it. I mean, it's more Bruce Springsteen than MSP yet, like Springsteen, it somehow transcends the cheese.

I have a love/hate relationship with MSP. They've written one of my favourite albums (The Holy Bible) and one of my favourite songs (Motorcycle Emptiness), but I can take or leave ninety percent of their output.
 
just a note, the thread is being unsticked as a trial basis, but tbf i can't see it being a problem, it's more activr than most of the other random threads here ;)

Amazing as THB is (Faster and P.C.P are up there in my Manics top 5) I find that Gold Against The Soul is the album I keep coming back to. An unusual choice as a lot of people overlook or even outright dislike it.

Most of Lifeblood was a bit "meh" but other than that I can happily play any of their albums end to end, skipping only the craptacular Repeat (Stars And Stripes) on Generation Terrorists.

lol it can't be deleted. for a start it was agreed with Rui for this threads existence.

The count to a million thread was abandoned so that other members wouldn't have a reason to complain. So thats how this came about.

May i ask who proposed this pointless trial?
 
Tachi, who do you think asked for something like this (not generally this thread but stickies in general) check out some of the locked topics in the forum feedback section.
 
agreed but i think the mods can deal with whatever he throws at them. Most people who come here won't be put off by the existence of a forum games section, they would come here for the conversations.
 
lol yeah i think your right.

Anyway, what's your plans for this weekend?
oh and you didn't say if you got my new number or not.
 
I did recieve it thanks :) I'm unsure of my plans at the moment, i know my g/f is dragging me to her little sisters birthday party but other then that its all an unknown
