I'm not sure what is in what genre in all honesty, so apologies if this doesn't count as hip hop, but I really do like: Scroobius Pip Beastie Boys Public Enemy and of course, Rappers Delight by Blondie not my fave genre but there's good stuff there and like all music it probably just opens another door to another room and off you go exploring where you wouldn't have expected discovered Jimmy Smith because of listening to the Beastie Boys, so y'know, all good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP4LGEAfUEY ok, so he's ripped off the Beastie Boys, but if its good its good, yeah

yep agreed, and Calypso fans might say there is nothing new in Toasting ain't nothing new

Hip Hop says, Yo. ah yes, I forgot Hip Hop which many would say the likes of Gil Scott Heron and Kool Herc* originated back in the Bronx in the, er, oh the mid 70's. although admittedly the spinny dancing, grafitti, large alarm clock necklaces and baseball caps all came along in the 80's according to Wikipedia, 11th August, 1973 DJ Kool Herc used 2 turntables to extend the breaks and add scratching in records to allow extended (break) dancing, whilst MCing or rapping over the top.... that's science fact I've just seen on the internet, I'm giving that one to 1973

I guess for me, knowing a couple of the players, having written one of the old school fanzines (Lowlife, £1, excellent read) and having done a few european trips back in the day makes it a bit different. It's also fan owned and I've paid my dues, so I actually own about 0.5% of it and have voting rights. So I guess I'm also one of the fat cats. I think that's what they were calling me, they were chanting from the other stand, it wasn't perfectly clear.

If Villa wasnt around I dont think I would bother with it. get yourself some non-league action, it's a revelation still competitive but without the crazy prices and pressure and travelling and car parking hassle I'm out Tuesday night. £4 entry to shout random crap at blokes from Caldicot, so it'll be a treat for them to see somebody that isn't a relative and has a metric number of toes and fingers. I will mentally destroy them with my big city wit. I will also leave the ground at half time to pop across the road for a bag of chips. I will also have an input on the half time mix tape music. I won the goalden goal at the last game, £20. Doesn't get better than that.

It is difficult to think of something genuinely new after the mid 70's

I've had to break the rules as I cannot get one off my list of eleven, so in no particular order... Dr Feelgood - Down By The Jetty The Jam - In The City The Jam - The Gift Primal Scream - Screamadelica Primal Scream - Give Out, But Don't Give Up Alabama 3 - Exile On Coldharbour Lane Alabama 3 - La Peste Alabama 3 - Shoplifting For Jesus Super Furry Animals - Fuzzy Logic Super Furry Animals - Phantom Phorce It can be no coincidence that 4 of those 5 bands are the best bands I've ever seen live, The Jam being the weak link there, they were easily out gunned by Nine Below Zero / The Truth as a live band. But NBZ never managed to get their sound successfully captured on vinyl.

I think thats the main point, the law already covers this. Why would something on the internet need a different sentencing guide to its equivalent non-cyber crime. come on, there are two things we can do here either enforce existing laws which will require actual resource and incur costs, or, tell people there will be action!!! there will be a stiff new law!!!! we will not rest!!! the daily mail has already splashed across it's front cover that it's gonna be 2 years in prison for muslim troll spiders - so a job well done for Mr Grayling

that can undermine the tactic of trying to negotiate the price

It's a mystery to me why factory built modules aren't more popular. After the war tens of thousands of prefabs were thrown up all over the country. These were mostly loved by the people that got them, to the point where people in 2014 try to resist being re housed out of them. If we build a macdonalds or a KFC it's built in the factory and delivered on the back of a lorry. Once the site has been prepared, founds down and services in, you phone up and order one and it's delivered, installed plumbed and working on the same day. The last one of these I was involved in the building arrived on site in the morning with posters already in the windows, kitchen equipment tables n chairs mostly already fitted. By 7:00pm the staff were in and being trained up for the first live shift the following morning. There's no reason houses can't be constructed off site and plugged in once somebody has selected the spec they want. Other than the public don't want them, they'd rather moan about the poor build quality of something put together outdoors in the mud through the winter.

fair play, it's difficult to beat belting out a singalong to I Will Survive

I don't mind if the whole thing is somebody's stylised dream project. If they've gone the full film student and thrown all the quirks at it then yes, let's here some of your fave music too. But if it's predominantly a 'straight' drama then the music should really go unnoticed and not set out to prove the makers were really hip even though the subject matter was Dickens. --- Incidentally, a piece of music that Xann put out there has made it in to my music for my film I'll make once I'm discovered for the generally arty genius wot I am. Amo Solo Te - Caterina Valente

Fine tunes my friends, fine tunes. I miss them.

And there is definitely an upside to being the star-crossed lover, which most blokes have gone through. There are a few guys who marry the girl next door, who never feel the pangs of failure and rejection, but I wouldn't envy them. They never get to enjoy the exhilaration and the sweet pain of unrequited affection. They never get to make their journey through the metaphysics of love, or find the truth in music or in poetry. They never get to understand why Plato could conceive of another world of ideal forms because they never get to yearn for the ideal form of love. They can never understand Coleridge, Leonard Cohen, Springsteen or Dylan. They never get to hear the echo of the ideal form in a musical phrase or arpeggio. Just think of it as a part of your education; meeting the right person is mostly about luck. As Knopfler wrote: When you gonna realise, that it was just that the time was wrong. Dylan called it; A simple twist of fate. They weren't wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNO49nh8hbM sometimes you can't do better than just having a bloody good tug and then going out and just enjoying people's shallow relaxed company.

For info., there are different building codes and regulations for Scotland compared with England so what you might find in Edinburgh has little consequence for somebody buyng in the Midlands. The rules on insulation are tighter now than they've ever been. Another thing to note. In the good old days the materials we had at our disposal were fairly basic, stone, brick, slate and timber. By default we were working with materials that had a 100 year life span. By default, if you chucked up some stone walls and put some hand sawn (and therefore chunky) roof members on it, then clad it with welsh slate, well, by accident you had a house that would either last 5 years and collapse, or would last 100 years. All the buildings that lasted 5 years (due to poor workmanship, shysters, conmen, lack of foundations, lack of planning, poor design) have obviously been long gone. So all we get to see now are the ones that lasted 100 years. This gives the false perspective that they knew how to build stuff in the past. The good stuff has stayed up, the shit is long gone. Eventually, the same will be said of the currently new housing stock. There is good and bad. What you do need to remember with a new house is that the builder has to get through planning, building control, probably needs NHBC backing and needs to build something people look at and want to buy. People want a slate or tiles roof appearance roof because thats what mummy and daddy had. A real 100 year slate roof is heavy and needs decent timber below it. Heavy slate and heavy timber need heavier walls which in turn require bigger foundations. Two houses next to each other, one with a recon or spanish roof and one with a 'proper' roof could cost very different prices. All you are worried about is the mortgage price for 25 years. The Spanish roof will (probably) last the 25 years of the mortgage. Builders tend to build shit because given the choice, people tend to buy shit. For info., I don't do housing. I had a little dabble in that area 8 or 9 years ago but it was too demoralising. Innovation and change are frowned upon by developers, planners, building control and the buying public. All of whom constantly moan about the current state of housing. It's a busted model. You can build a house for £40k if you try. I recently helped out with a new build project slightly larger than a modern house that including bringing in new electric, water and drainage and having to put in some innovative foundations due to poor soil still came to a total build cost (no furniture but ready for the furniture) of £35k.

I considered a few, but they didn't make my ten. John Stewart. Micky Newbury. Waylon Jennings. Joe Ely. Butch Hancock. Guy Clark. The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash. Terry Allen. Nanci Griffith. Radney Foster. and now I'm going to use this list to check stuff out I'm on a country voyage at the moment - not popular in the office - but I'm in charge so **** 'em.

serves you right for breaking the worlds economy Xela is actually the Labour Party?

boring fact among many ... I've had more birthdays outside of England than I have in England I've spent more birthdays in Kenya than England

it's not an easy area of law I know nothing of the case, other than if a footballer, his agent and his club don't have access to a lawyer that was able to argue serious lack of evidence, well, that would make me suspect there is more detail here than we might all be aware of. Serious lack of evidence would be the case in the vast majority of cases of rape I'd have thought? Unless there were witnesses all that can actually be proven is that somebody had sex with a stranger which was potentially out of character. It surely comes down to the word of two individuals and then the opinions of judge and jury.
