  1. Got 2 spare tickets for Black Sabbath at the NEC for Fri 20th Dec if anyone's interested. Cover price £40 each.

    Sorry if this is the wrong page for this.

  2. I saw Stratejacket in either 80 or 81 partly due to a mate who was a roady for them, he would tune the guitars as they couldn't! Also I went to quite a few punk and reggae gigs around that time but being 24 I was seen as way too old to spike and dye my hair as much as I wanted to.

    As I recall Stratejacket were ok but nothing compared with the established bands.

  3. get p.g.wodehouse read by this one guy called Jonathan Cecil. They is hilarious! i've been doing more driving since i moved up to birminghams and they make long journeys fly by with lols!

     

    My favourites is Right Ho Jeeves and The Code of the Woosters thought they is all good. Make sure you get the ones narrated by Jonathan Cecil tho cos they'll try and sell these other ones by some guy called Martin Something but he is not nearly so lols!

     

    Just finished The Code Of The Woosters. Very good Bearsy thanks.

    I cant get the image of Terry Thomas out of my head with Jonathan Cecil narrating.

    I will be sure to try these as I dash up and down the M40!

  5. I've been reading this on/off for a while. About my 3rd or 4th attempt.

     

    I just always seem to lose interest. How you finding it.

     

    I do a lot of driving fairly long distances so I download talking books - only the unabridged ones.

    The Great Gatsby was quite tough due to style of writing, quite a distant style never really finding out much about the characters until well into the book, made it tough going but worth it in the end.

  6. My daughter had an accident (not her fault) 2 years ago and only realised she had a cat. D car when her insurance company told her they were cancelling her insurance for not telling them. She shopped around but had to pay £300 more per year.

    Luckily the dealership we bought it from let her swap cars with another.

    Moral of this is to always do a car history check.

  7. FAO the 'fan' in seat 129 of Row DD today, your continuous racial harassment of Ali Al-Habsi during the second half made me ashamed to support Saints.

     

    I was in 125 row DD and I never heard any racial harassment, although the smoke bomb did come from around that area but that's nothing to get your knickers in a twist over.

    I thought there were quiet moments as there are at all games including at St Marys but overall I felt the support was excellent.

  8. When does homage become blatent rip off and a lack of originality, blaxploitation and sergio leone tributes only go so far, done in a Western setting with a good father figure German and a Black slave/bounty hunterlead is just contrived in my humble.

     

    You spotted the Sergio Leone tribute, and the other part you liked - the dumb KKK cowboys, I thought, looked like a tribute to Blazing Saddles.

     

    I thought the film was very good and the gratuitous violence is just Tarantino, a bit like Pulp Fiction - the kid getting his head blown open in the back of the car or The ear scene in Reservoir Dogs.

  9. I bought a second hand car last year for work. The salesman persuaded me to get a warranty from Customer Protect for £300 saying that if something like a turbo went they would pay for it.

    6 months later the turbo started making a screeching noise and my garage said the turbo was on the way out. The warranty company refused to pay up saying it was normal wear and tear. If it had actually failed fully they would have paid up! I was very P1ssed off!

    The garage I use say they do a lot of work for RAC warranty and they seem to be one of the best.
