The 'Ask A Question Of The Person Below' Thread

[sparky]

Is it only me that gets annoyed when XFM and Radio 6 publicise "secret" gigs?

[John Mc]

No! Suddenly everyone in the world is going to gigs and its impossible to get a tickets. Which leads me onto:

Is it worth paying £30 to watch the Manic Street Preachers?

[Tommy Tynans Lovechild]

No.

Is it worth paying £30 to watch any band (festival tickets excluded)?

No. All bands should cost £6 regardless.

Why has this thread captivated our sleepy board so much?

Because the rise of terrorism, the spectre of bird flu, the use of women football officials, the ubiquity of Russell Brand , the hype about new Rave, the puzzle of Englands form in the one day series and the fact that "I Don't Feel Like Dancing" by Scissor Sisters is still in the top 40, mean that we live in difficult and confusing times. Even the cleverest people in the world sometimes need somewhere to turn to find help. This thread offers clarity and guidance to those special folks.

Did I spell 'ubiquity' correctly?

[Kris]

Yes.

Did I or did I not, use Outlook to check that spelling?

Yes.

Is it just me or are the Arctic Monkeys totally shit?

Nope, they're alright I reckon. They've got at least four really good songs and a sprinkling of alright ones. It'll be interesting to hear what they do with their second album.

On an unrelated note, hope Tony Wilson is OK. It took me years to work out that the bloke who was involved with the Happy Mondays was the same person who presented Granada Reportsa and without Factory my teenage years would have been very different. I might have spent time going out and developing social skills rather than sat alone in my room listening to 'Substance' and reading NME. Good well soon Tony.

Which is worse? When football players you remember being promising youngsters start becoming managers or when bands you remember being promising youngsters start recieving lifetime achievement awards?

If he's got all the time in the world - 1 week, if he's a busy boy with work, deadlines or similar shit then 1 month (mind you I've taken over 3 months to lay some hard flooring for my girlfriend so what do my opinions count)

Mild winters, good or bad? I haven't scrapped ice off my car at all this year!

Is there any pleasure greater in life than dipping ginger nuts into a cup of tea whilst looking at ladies with nothing on?

I've amended it to GINGER nuts. Pedantic Bev.

Who knows where Martin is hiding these days?
