  1. You are quite right sir
  2. Think I could have scored that Credit to Long tonight though, worked his socks off.
  3. Oh yes!
  4. FFS!!!!
  5. You have to be kidding..........
  6. At first I read it as "We've had enough transvestites this season!
  7. Can't fault them that half apart from no more goals. Targett was excellent.
  8. We should be out of sight by now.
  9. Oh yesssssssssssss!!!
  10. This is working for me, but you'll need adblock ; ) http://www.feed4u.net/watch/1409016/3/Southampton-vs-Watford.html
  11. Thanks for sharing. Don't know how old your boy is but I love it that he's hearing such music Mick Ronson! What a sound. Loved the interaction he had with Bowie, can't think of anyone he ever shared the stage with like that............ Bing Crosby????
  12. Agree, he seemed very flat. Pelle to come back with a bang tomorrow night hopefully.
  13. Absolutely, SOG, agreed As Badger has said above - it's "of it's time." The annoying thing is that we're even talking about it! I should never have taken the bait
  14. Well said.
  15. The songs I've listed would all come under the banner of "novelty" as would the "Laughing Gnome". Pretty sure Bowie didn't see himself as a future rock/pop icon at this time, he has said himself he saw himself writing for musicals as he didn't have the confidence or stage presence to be a pop star. Taken in this context "Laughing Gnome" makes more sense. Don't see how this can be used as some yard-stick to judge him by. As a toddler I loved "The Laughing Gnome" and I'm still fond of it. It's a record for kids! If I could make him un-record anything it would be "Dancing In The Street" with Mick Jagger.
  16. You think it's "without doubt" worse than "Touch My Bum" by the Cheeky Girls, Black Lace's "Agadoo", and "The Birdie Song"?
  17. Guess we could say the same about football
  18. You've called him a "legend" and "one of the most important artists we have produced", not sure it gets much better than that! Legends are legends, to say he's "far from the best," suggests there is a "League of legends", maybe a Premiership, Championship and League 1 of legends. No need to compare in my opinion Agree with you on the media coverage, but that's how they are these days. Fed up of hearing which celebrity tweeted about him and all that. I'm avoiding it now, best way to remember him is through his music at home, discussing with friends, or reading on here about other people's memories.
  19. And me It's hit me heavier than perhaps it might have done because I've been listening to so much of his music the last few months - almost obsessively. I've been teaching myself guitar and the four things I can play are all Bowie tunes, the way he put his chords together was so clever, beautiful and yet so simple (the tunes I've learnt anyway) Just before Christmas my 15 yr old daughter asked if she could have one of his cd's as a present - she didn't know which one, but she liked what she had heard me playing. Bought her Hunky Dory and the Ziggy album. Can't tell you how proud it made me feel to know her taste was so good. At the weekend we had to visit grandparents - on the way she pulled out the Ziggy album for me to play in the car. Just as we arrived at our destination Suffragette City came on, it was one of those moments where the music was "all" - we sat in silence, didn't want to get out the car, time stood still. MAGIC. Last night I resumed trying to play Queen B*tch on my acoustic - in my head all I can see is him performing it on The Old Grey Whistle Test in his red boxing boots and green boiler suit. Next day he's dead................. Total one-off, never to be repeated.
  20. Terrible news to wake up to. Devastating. "oh no, don't say it's true....." :' (
  21. If Spurs' season continues as it started it's only a matter of time before his name gets linked to bigger clubs. Would love to see how Rooney would get on with Poch's double training sessions!
  22. Certainly loves the sound of his own voice. Thought Robot Wars was about his level really
  23. He's awful. Well done Leicester!!!!!
  24. As you've said, newspapers sensationalise things, in which case I'd suggest that Ron should have been more cautious in his use of words and not given the rags the story in the first place. Criticism of the academy in public can't be great for anyone at the club, especially when they've been working hard to present it as a place of excellence, something that we are famous for. Remember these words, "we don't just buy success, we breed it"? Well that all looks rather pathetic now.
  25. I can't think of one either.
