Damned fine words there Dino. :sad:

Thanks Toastie :-D the best words came from Neil tho worship
Im still struggling to come to terms with this and its taken me till now to be able to write something without turning into a blubbering mess.
Neil was my friend, a fantastically unique, funny, smart, witty and trusted friend....the best of the best.
I will miss our chats, putting the world to rights, swapping music recommendations, chattin shit, being daft and basically acting like a couple of sixteen year olds.
I remember one particular night when we were both a bit worse for wear (smashed off our faces would be more accurate) you gave me one of your deep and meaningful quotes .
Ive never forgot it mate, in fact its on my facebook favourite quotes thingy and has been for a few years now.
As we were smashed at the time i dont think i remember it word for word but its pretty close, and reading it again kinda sums you up and how i will best remember you fella....
"Its your life. so do with it what you choose, when you choose to do it, with who ever or what ever you choose to do it with.
Never worry about flying in the face of convention, going against the grain of what society requires or expects of you, and be proud to tell them so .
Never care what others may think, your life choices have nothing to do with anyone else, its their problem to overcome, not yours to justify.
So live your life how you want to live it.......but always be mindful of one thing .....
Harm no one......which may sound easy, but may be the hardest of things to do!!"

We were due to meet up soon for a gig at Jodrell Bank, i cant think of a more "other worldly" place to see Sigur Ros than at a giant space telescope that listens to stars, galaxies, the universe and the heavens.
I know youll be there mate, prolly flickin the V`s at me coz youve got the best seat in the house sat a`top of that big dish thingy, boppin away an avin a right ole time.
I will miss you my friend,
Love you always,
Dino xxx

We have school busses where i live but they are awful vehicles and i wouldn't want my children to travel on them. Most schools here are far away from where children live so they have to go by car, public transport isn't available for all places and the roads arn't safe for cycling plus there isn't anywhere safe to keep bikes at school ... so car is the best option.

Ok ok,...not for the first time yet another one of my brilliant life changing visionary ideas is blown right out the water confused??:
Back to the drawing board :uhoh:
Ang on...instead of yellow school buses lets give em a yellow school pogo sticks instead! :thumbup:
.....maybe not eh :undecided:
I`ll get me coat bolt

Ooh, i forgot this sleazy git...

I know he did good with the Olympics n that, but i still think Steve Ovett would have done it better ! :wink:
British Sea Power.. there first album "The Decline of British Sea Power"
In my opinion, the best indie rock band in the country.. and have been for some time.:thumbup:
I agree with getting the kids to walk and cycle to school where its possible, but i would`nt have my child cycle for the reason i was initially making, because the sheer weight of traffic on the roads make cycling very dangerous.
My child walks to school (about 1.5 miles), fortunately she doesn`t have to cross any busy roads, but that`s not the case for a lot of school children who may have a lot further to walk or encounter busy main roads.
I`d be less inclined to let my child walk to school if their were busy roads to cross.
As i said before, i agree with getting the kids to walk and cycle, but until we get over this school run culture that most parents seem to have adopted then the roads wont get any less busy! so it seems to have become a perpetual cycle......
"No you cant walk or cycle to school as the roads are to dangerous, we`ll take the car"
And its "taking the car" that is making the roads dangerous for school children in the first place...a vicious circle.
Safety of the kids was one of my original points in favour of school buses, and i think the only way to make the roads safer and less busy is to adopt a school bus programme, and maybe then the kids will have the choice of walking, cycling or take the school bus as the roads will be safe for them to do so.
My "one thing i remember that nobody else seems to" story also has a weird, strange and spooky element attached to it :eeek:
There used to be a creepy kids' TV programme about a girl in hospital who was given a sketch pad and whatever she drew came to life in her dreams. She ended up being trapped in a dark house with a boy in a wheelchair (he had no legs because she'd forgotten to draw them...). The house was surrounded by evil whispering standing stones with a big eye who were out to get them... It was pretty terrifying stuff for a 7-year-old and i loved it
I never forgot about it and for years I would mention it to people, but no-one else seemed to remember it. Then in about 1990 a film called Paperhouse came out. It was very similar to the TV series and I'm sure it had been based on it, but I could still find no mention of it.
One evening about ten years ago, while working a solo night shift, I suddenly for some reason started to think about this again and did an internet search for Paperhouse. And at last, I found it. There was a site on the web that said that Paperhouse was based on a childrens' TV series, which was called "Escape into Night". I then tried to find out more and discovered the series itself had been based on a best-selling 1950s novel called "Marianne Dreams" by the children's writer Catherine Storr.
For about an hour or so, I became completely absorbed in all this, satisfied that - after about 25 years of searching - I had finally found the answer to this mystery, and reading all I could find out about it and about the author who had created the original storyline (she had been married to the famous psychologist Anthony Storr, and they shared an interest in the paranormal).
Then the morning shift came arrived and gave me a copy of the day's Times newspaper. I absent-mindedly opened it at random. It opened on the obituary page, at the top of which was the obituary for......... Catherine Storr. She had died the previous day. :eeek: bolt
Anyone else remember "Escape into Night" ?? :-D
Thats just what i was going to post Toots, its in no small way down to the pharmaceutical companies that bleed and drain the NHS with its outrageously inflated prices it charges for its drugs.
You never see GlaxoSmithKline or AstraZeneca employees scraping by.
Changing the pharmaceutical bosses ransome demand culture of "you need it to save lives so we`ll charge what the fook we like".will help some what.

Went to work Tuesday morning, little or no traffic issues, just as it has been for the past 6 weeks :-D Wednesday morning...jees!!! banghead the schools are back open and the traffic was 30 fold, and it really hit home just what a massive effect the school run makes to rush hour traffic :huh:
Now its not very often i look towards the USA for good ideas :grin: but they seem to have it spot on with those big yellow school buses they have.
Firstly, the difference to road congestion would be hugely alleviated.
Kids would get to school safely and on time,
They will need drivers, mechanics, cleaning crews etc so jobs would be created, and rather than claiming job seekers allowance from the state, they`d all be paying income tax back into the government coffers.
Less cars on the road means less pollution, less accidents, and less wear and tear on the roads.
Less accidents means cheaper car insurance(in theory)rolleyes and less strain on A&E depts.
Less wear and tear of roads means cheaper road tax (in theory):roll:
ok im pushin it a bit regarding insurance companies and road tax being reduced lol but d`ya see the benefits and the knock on effect it would have ?
As far as the cost goes !!! Advertising on buses generates income, businesses are always looking to improve their image with PR, so sponsorship could play a part.
And then theres the thorny issue of the rich tax..:grin: im sure a 1% increase would suffice :thumbup:
So... what am i missing here? coz it seems to me to be a no brainer to me dunno
We are both deeply saddened, shocked and stunned, we were told yesterday and couldnt believe it.
You were a great guy and will be sadly missed.
Thanks for some great times and wonderful memories Kev, the parties, the munches and socials....the most memorable one for us was the swingcamp weekends.
R.I.P Kev, forever in our thoughts,
Special love,
Dino and Hornyred. xx

The one thing i really used to look forward to over Christmas was the great classic "ghost story". The BBC and ITV both showed some superb spooky tales .
Im not sure they did one this year or i may have just missed it.
The ones that spring to mind are..
The Woman In Black, Xmas eve 1989 on ITV,
Charles Dickens The Signalman 22 December 1976 BBC.
I know the dates coz ive got them on dvd now
Theyre here if youd like to see em wink

Lets say you saw me and dave notts trying to walk ten feet along the high street with a penny balanced on our foreheads, trying to avoid dropping it and the first to do it wins yeh...now its not exactly wholly absorbing or engrossing stuff is it? youd most likely walk past thinking "daft sods"

Nope I'd LOVE to see that, I'd pay money to see that! :lol2:
Hang on have you just engineered this whole thread to get me to say that? You're as bad as Simon Cowell smackbottom

Hey, i can see the appeal of dancin n singin TV, not my "thing" but i see a certain amount of entertainment value in it, my point was how these so called skill tests have somehow become must see TV :dunno:

But some twat at moron TV has packaged exactly that and because of the way TV is sold to us nowadays its bigged up to viewers as top telly. Strip it down to the bare bones and its a pile of piss poor games you could have dreamed up as a 4 year old, the only difference being..when you were 4, it was a great game :thumbup:

1) you read it.... because title is good.....but when actually read what its about you have nothing to say or add.
2) you read it....but someone before you has said just what you would have said.
3) you read it...but are scared of posting..as so many are ready to jump in and ridicule you or rip what you say to shreads !!!

Ok, im turning myself in right here and now seeing theres an amnesty, i`ll just hand in all my wrong doings and be on my way.innocent
Ey up Flower, where do i hand in all my wrong doings ? shall i put em in that big bin in the corner ?
First wrong doing being handed over is....calling Flower a fair maiden, just pop it in the bin here.....
Second, being partly responsible in allowing a thread to "evolve" and not keeping it on topic...just dump that one in the bin too...
All my hundreds of spelling errors....i`ll just dump them into Freckledbirds word recycling bin so she can put em right and they can be re used again...
Three hours later
Ooh, and last but not least, the spare back door key for the mods lounge i pinched just incase wink 3 years ago ...and thats me done :wink:
Television,
whats happened ?? :neutral:
I know its never been the greatest of TV viewing time slots but jees, its on its arse these days
Back in the days of 3 channels to choose from, we were still at least treated to something close to being entertaining.
Although way way back, Sunday evening TV was a choice between "the black n white minstrel show" "the good old days" or the test card, Grannies loved it (the good old days..i dont mean the test card) lol i just remember as a 6 year old, asking why a man was dressed as a strange looking lady calling himself Danny la Rue, singing on stage in a mock victorian theatre! confused??:
Things got a little better when "Please Sir" and "Doctor in the house" arrived on our screens, but they were never going to sweep the boards at the BAFTA Television Awards.
Catweazle was great and is the stand alone Sunday programme for me, although i rather fancied juliet bravo wink the first one i mean !
Anyhow, i put my telly on tonight and could hardy believe what i was seeing :-|
A bloke throwing ping pong balls into a bucket! ballancing on a plank of wood, counting squares, stepping over broom handles 18 inches off the floor without touching them !!
what the fuck!!!!!!!!! dunno
Call that entertainment ! well apparently it is ..... WHEN YOUR INSIDE THE CUBE!! :shock:
Are we really all so numb these days that rollin a fuckin ball down a drainpipe counts as top TV entertainment, just think about what your watching for a minute, grown men and women attempting to throw a square ball over a flimsy wall and hope it lands in a washin up bowl :shock:
Thank fuck for Countryfile is all i can say :neutral:
Oh for christ sake......just wheni thought it couldnt get any worse..... the XFactor just started :doh:
Up north, Fish butties :thumbup:, keep things nice, simple and uncomplecated coz thats what punters up here like.:-)
Darn sarf. Poisson d`Or de petit pain wink coz thats what them poncy gits like :wanker:
In Wales, Welsh gold rarebit... coz the welsh like to have summat welsh in the dish`s name, none of em really know what the fuck goes in it but its got a welsh connection so they`ll love it. :thumbup:
Scotchland,,, batter it n deep fry it n call it ginger fish supper. :wink:

Quote by tweeky
Perhaps the trick next year is to change the types of birds used?
Sparklers: Sparrows, nice and light.
Rockets: Seagulls, ample sized and sure to make enough noise.
Shooting stars: A flock of swifts, they generate the speed and dispersion needed.
Cathrine wheels: Ducks, fits in with their personality as they always seem to walk round and round being pointless and nobody really cares about them.

Quote by davej
I like your thinking tweeky, the matching of bird type, to firework type, might just work.
I'm gonna trial some penguins as jumping jacks. Penguins don't get off the ground and have that sort of short gait that jumping jacks have when they go off.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Dont give up on the pidgeons though, theres loads of em about, cheaper than apples and dead easy to catch.
Shove a lolly stick up the pidgeons arse, dip em in toffee or melted chocolate, sprinkle hundreds n thousands on the top.....voila!!!! toffee and chocolate pidgeons :thumbup:
I reckon you`ll be able to knock em out at a quid a go......the kids`ll love em wink
