  1. GET ON THE TABLE! Arms out, fingers together. knees bent, now flap your arms! Faster! Faster, faster, faster, now JUMP! WRONG! WRONG! You're bloody useless, you're an utter bloody washout! Don't come here with that posh talk you nasty, stuck-up twit. Do you want to stop being a Mason? Oh, I certainly do. I mean, there comes a time when you realize there's no good frittering your life away in idleness and trivial chit-chat. :eyeroll: Sey, sey, taht's crreoct! "Book at bedtime" Tonight, GeddysMullet reads "Redgauntlet" by Sir Walter Scott. Well this is true to form, no surprises there. He started five of his eleven novels to date with a definite article. We've had two of them with 'IT', there has been one 'BUT', two 'AT's, one 'ON' and a Delores. Oh that of course was never published. I wouldn't wish it on my son. He's a sensitive boy, already. I'd rather he was a sewage attendant or a rat catcher. There's nowt wrong with gala luncheons!

  5. Yes, well this is not at all uncommon. In certain mental states... It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity. You can start in small ways with ping-pong ball eyes and a funny voice and then you can paint half of your body red and the other half green and then you can jump up and down in a bowl of treacle going 'squawk, squawk, squawk...' I'm terribly sorry, I can't hear you sir, could you try speaking in a lower register? The Under-Secretary for making deep growling noises - grrr - launched a bitter personal attack on the ex-Minister for delving deep into a black satin bag and producing a robe of Euthymol toothpaste. All this and more, this week in Storage Jars!
  6. Red Barchetta and The Camera Eye easily, but only live versions. I haven't got much enthusiasm for the studio versions of any of the songs on this record.
  7. Anyone care to take bets on how long before Earl shows up?
  8. This applies to far more than Biden.
  9. I'm not big on female singers either. I once had a lengthy debate with a friend who was very keen on them about whether that makes me a chauvinist.
  10. Pat Benatar has a great voice but I don't like her material. Joan Jett is a proper badass female rock star but I don't like her material. Neither!
  11. Catch Me If You Can was really good, and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was good until the ridiculous pop-fizzle ending, but I have a problem with Leonardo DiCaprio in that he doesn't suspend my disbelief. I haven't seen many of his movies, because my reaction is always "Oh, look, it's Leonardo DiCaprio pretending to be __________". When I watch him, I never feel like I'm watching a character, only that I'm watching a famous Hollywood actor famously Hollywood acting.
  12. I think these two belong together. http://youtu.be/mrWnb2M4Xbs
  13. Pavements may teem with intense energy, but the city is calm in this violent sea.
  14. Those facts don't change the truth of my story. But they do, can you just cofirm again what year this happened please? I am aware of the apparent date discrepancy. He said he bought his first bike in 1996. I saw him in March 1986. No chance it was another decade because I moved from the area the same year. He was driving a BMW motorcycle. Maybe he rented it or was borrowing one for the trip. It was during a short break on the Power Windows tour. I think it was the first tour they ever intentionally incorporated short breaks. I think Lifeson said it was the first tour that was fun. So you obviously didn't read my earlier post, or ignored it, Neil got his very first motorcycle in December 1993, a present from his wife, he didn't have a motorcycle licence at that time and took a riding course and passed his test in 1994! So you are very mistaken, it wasn't Neil, sorry! Your conclusion rests on several assumptions. And I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Edit: I did read your earlier post. It's from an article I read a couple months ago, possibly from the Cygnus site. I don't understand how you can still believe you actually met Neil on a motorcycle 12 years before he was riding one, maybe he stole it, yeah right! Either I'm lying, deluded, or telling the truth. Whatever you decide makes no difference to me. “Deluded” seems a bit strong. I’d go with, as I said earlier, “honestly mistaken”. Not sure how much more proof you want when Peart himself is quoted as saying he didn’t get his license and start riding until the 90s. Was Neil mistaken about his own license? Was he secretly riding bikes in the 80s and didn’t want anyone to know? He definitely rode one in March 1986, apparently without a license. Ok Thank you for extending the benefit of doubt. I have nothing to gain by making up the story. Edit: Not splitting hairs, but I think his regular riding began in 1996. That is when it became a routine part of the tours. Maybe I saw him on the only day he rode before that, but I doubt it. I call that progress. ;) Hmm. You might have misinterpreted my meaning. The doubt is about it being the only day he rode a cycle before the 90s. Total guess, but he possibly rode occasionally for years. He certainly was riding the day I met him. When he started to ride bikes aside, how can you be “certain” especially when you didn’t think it was even him until YEARS later? Because it serves the narrative!
  15. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood would be a great film if it didn't have such a stupid ending.
  16. Very very cool! My sincere compliments to you, sir, and I have just saved your doco on Amazon and will watch it soon. Thanks very much! I hope you enjoy it.
  17. AND he stopped playing kick ass Bass. in the prime years. he SLAYED on that thing. not so much in the 80's, lol Mick This is the truth right here. Cetera is an excellent bassist, but his songs are terrible. They were pretty great for making him lots of money, but for music lovers to listen to, not so much.

    Don't worry, he will
  19. Iggy Pop has a cockatoo called Biggy Pop, which for me strengthens his standing as one of the coolest guys in showbiz. https://instagram.com/biggypop?igshid=lrt3c3p65ajx
  20. The Cars had enough songs for their greatest hits album, but I'm still disappointed that they didn't call it "Used Cars" like they said they would.
