  1. There is no such thing as an excellent song by the band Queen, no matter who they collaborated with Up the Hill and Down the Slope - The Loft followed by Revolutionary Spirit - The Wild Swans
  2. Alison - Elvis Costello followed by Centenary - the Revolutionary Dub Warriors (produced, naturally, by the genius of Adrian Sherwood)
  3. no its much longer And right now I'm listening to Permafrost by Magazine
  4. Just a reminder, I've had to delete posts from this thread all night, this thread is for comments / questions directly to the general It is not here for general discussion of any of the points raised, if you want to discuss something posted here, make a new topic if one does not exist in the relevant forum
  5. No absolutely not (but its a different topic entirely - maybe start a new one for it)
  6. My answer is twofold In theory, yes the transfer window protects the small big club balance to some degree In practice as a mod on this site, jesuz no, life would be so much simpler without transfer windows
  7. The most apposite part of the analogy was the part about ignoring one's own warnings (or worries) about potential future problems and where the fault would lie if those problems actually came about after one had consciously decided not to attempt to address them. The standard (or otherwise) of the analogy that he used as the vehicle to put across the fundamental question does not impinge upon the validity of that question and that is the fundamental basis for the analogy regardless of the similarities (or not) of the ribbons used to dress that analogy. I disagree, In the analogy he had many opportunities to heed his own warnings and had little choice in which prduct he purchased In the real situation, there was a small window of opportunity, a scarcity of supply and an unwillingness to sell the customer a product In the analogy there was ample opportunity to heed ones own warnings, it the real world the situation is nowhere near as simple as the analogy paints So an invalid analogy. You can only heed your warnings if its possible to stop the car and replace your petrol.
  8. Surely that would make it worse? As far as rsjg's analogy goes, he did say : 'By this time I'd passed all the petrol stations and then the inevitable happened. I ran out of fuel.' Implying that he did take into account the limited time period in which to 'fill up'. The prob with the analogy might be the suggestion that the 'petrol' of whatever source or grade was readily available within the limited area. I think you're missing the point His fundamental basis for the analogy isn't valid imo, from thereon in anything else mentioned isn't really relevant
  9. Rollercoaster the grid follwed by Ghost Hardware by Burial (again on the cover disk of Word this month and if all dubstep is like this then maybe I should investigate the genre)
  10. Serpentine - Chris Bathgate A song thats hooked me all week, so much so I bought the album Even better than that it was on the cover disk of this months Word magazine
  11. Analogy is completely invalid imo Petrol in this country is generally all the same, the only differnce is the odd splash of detergent (thats it folks you are paying premium prices for for fairy liquid) and "bad" fuel is generally something that has been contaminated. Supermarket fuel is no different to main company fuel in fact its the likes of shell that supply the supermarkets Football players however come in all shapes and sizes, different positions, thee are many variables to consider in each purchase Petrol is almost ubiquitous in its supply levels, you can buy the stuf almost anywhere and at anytime Football players you can only buy for one month mid season So whilst one is a simple decision that is easily taken, the other is not. Therefore Not a valid argument imo
  12. A chimp would be a step forward imo We already have a chimp. no, chimps have a level of intelligence that your president is highly unlikely to ever achieve
  13. A chimp would be a step forward imo
  14. just been watching myself and I'm a bit confused Is this the first government in the world that thinks an enforced recession is a god idea? Its what they appear to be wanting S'pose Gordo is the financial expert being the ex CotE that he is, I must have it wrong so I'll be quiet
  15. and so we almost reach the end of another ten year cycle
  16. is he advocating breaking the law ?? Some times you have to, if no-one broke the law, change would rarely occur and unjust things would be allowed to happen to a populace controlled by a government Sometimes, breaking the law is completely justified
  17. Haven't bought that album yet, loved cripple crow when I was in the mood. So is the last album good Si?
