The Departed - Wow, the best film i've seen in a long time, deserved the awards it got.

The first two CDs I bought were the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Coldplay. I still like both, but not as much as I used to.

Moved to M&M.

Emergency Trap - Mogwai

Inhale nitrous oxide and watch the Monty Python sketches. Actually, that might be dangerously funny.

*shudders* In fact I have a general dislike of buzz-words.

Andy McKee - Drifting

Wahey! Thought I was the only one :) I'm on Snowbourn as well, level 26 hunter named Ozymandias. Loving it so far, great sense of community and gameplay. I don't think it's exclusively for Vista, well I play it and i'm only running XP.

Yeah, he's pretty good, I've got a friend who's learning that one. Interesting point. Do you mean how Hendrix played rhythm behind his lead parts simultaneously or just his rhythm work in general? No it doesn't have to be someone who exclusively plays rhythm.

Actively hating someone takes far too much effort.

Revising. Seriously I can't get enough of it. :|

Lead guitarists get all the glamour, and i'm sure most of you could reel off a list of at least 5 "guitar gods". But i've been asking myself recently, who are the great rhythm guitarists? It's harder to define them because they don't have the solos to show off in, but any guitarists knows how important rhythm is. So who are they? The first that springs to mind for me is Gabriela, the second half of the guitar duo Rodrigo Y Gabriela. She's pretty insanely good at rhythm to be honest, her triplets which she uses a lot are incredibly hard to play at the speed that she does and she adds precise percussion as well by slapping the guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDVktJw5K7Y I think John Fogerty from Creedence Clearwater Revival has to be up there as well. Pete Townsend of The Who is no shabby rhythm player either, a lot of his more recent acoustic stuff really stands out for having strong rhythms. After that, i'm struggling, Chuck Berry, John Lennon? Any ideas?

It's hard, I can think of loads of films which didn't deserve sequels but got them, but not so many the other way round.

Did you watch the match? No, I couldn't care less about football.

I think it depends what you're talking about. I actually thought you were referring to the decline in Queen's English and the increase in slang, regional accents and sayings. To be honest I don't have much a of problem with that. Languages evolve and change over time. Compare English today to Shakespearean english and there's a massive difference. I don't know what it will look like in 500 years.

Nothing really, i'm pretty open with the friends i've got if they ask. But i'll only tell them a lot of stuff if they ask me, I prefer to surprise them instead of coming clean about things every 5 seconds.

See The Servants - Nirvana

How would they slap the cuffs on him? :P Awesome, just awesome.

He didn't insult you, and stop pushing me on this.

Yeah, a lot of it is based on interviews and tests, but I think GCSE results definitely help if when they're picking between 1000 candidates with 3 or 4 A's at A-level. Depends on the course though, maths is based mostly on STEP (*gulp*). I didn't do IT GCSE (did music instead, rocked) but I know enough people who did to know that it was a bugger. You gotta try for places like Oxbridge otherwise you'll regret it if you don't.

Funny, that sums up the attitude of a lot of your posts. Just because it doesn't contribute to the thread doesn't mean it's spam, and it still gives no right for you to insult someone.

When I was a bit younger me and my friend rigged up one of those zipwire things in his dad's garden between a couple of trees. It looked pretty good and sturdy, test runs walking with it down went well. Course, we didn't realise that the bottom end was tied to the tree with no way of stopping except slamming into it until after I had found out, the very hard way. Bruised a rib or two, and I think my friend did as well from laughing at me. :(

I know Nad probably doesn't care, but i'd appreciate if you didn't throw around those kind of 'insults' baselessly. Clear?

Oxbridge... thats where i want to get to.. and i know that u need fantastic results to get there.. not just in A level but GCSE as well. Ditto. I don't think you need flat A*s but it probably helps. A's and A*'s though.

Oxbridge... Wow, thanks for that brilliant comment. How did you do in your GCSE's? Judging by your spelling and grammar and attitudes towards evolution i'd say that your statement was pretty damn ironic and hypocritical. Be a little more sensitive about people who struggle with GCSEs, okay?
