More Tales From The Tap Room

Been looking for an original of More Tales From The Tap Room for ages, ie Tales From The Tap Room, but no joy. I have this book but would like a first edition. Get this one here and help Pilgrims Hospice, or you buy a new copy from Folkestone library...

I thought that was Adam Hussain in the visor

Isn't that Eggsie at the front?

i thought about keeping this one to myself�

�and just dripfeeding it out as if i was finding them every week; but that wouldn't be very sporting would it?

Robot of the Week

I thought this place was dead

... but I'm not sure if posting this is the right thing to try to revive it. Eighties East German photography. The male nudes are especially creepy.

Nothing to say today

Been a bit busy, so no skiving off to watch the football today. I did watch England just about win yesterday, missed the goal. It did make the afternoon go quickly not stopping for lunch until 4pm. Have seen bits and pieces like Italy going out, out ...

I thought upstream speed was 512k?

That's how I remember it from when I first saw it, which is pretty fast. A mate's theory is that it's only burstable to 4Mb, not constant.

What it's there for though isn't it?

They must pay a licence or something don't they?

I thought BOSE was ace

But I read somewhere that they're not all that... guess what you'd compare them to. Hey, some of my 96k recordings from tape / radio / car boot sale vinyl are very good quality!

yeah, I like to share though

I'm seeing it a bit as a SEO tool too...

Thought for the day

Following my recent programming successes improving the PO (purchase order) system so it can be used by all of the companies in our group, and how it is acely searchable now, I'm going to expand the searching on this board, try and make it a bit more...

yeah, they're not related though

When I get a password for the iMac I might well plug the IPOD into it... My IPOD connects to my PC at home just fine! It's just when I try and expand my music sharing web a little...

That's not the camera phone pictures though

That's regular paparazzi topless holiday shots of Charlotte Church... I'm saying the story about her mobile phone pictures being stolen isn't true.The Register thinks it is though, so maybe I'm wrong. Why have these topless shots (not those topless s...

ta, not thought about doing any graphicy work for ages

I used to do TONNES of it ten years ago, my fanzine was all done in Corel Draw. Cheers though, I might go look at inkscape as vector based stuff is handy. Gimp seems to be able to do some though anyway, you make "paths" out of vectors and then tell i...

Yeah, was just pleasant enough though

Don't my hands look big though?

Like some kind of climbing lizard. Also the boys look a bit bored, I hope they're livened up in the final pictures.

Thought so, though not got it yet

I saw some posts on a forum about it. Still got episode 5 to watch anyway.

Do you think she's bothered though?

I thought it was only the 1.0 or previous that could do the unauthorised stuff?

Gah, have I messed up? We are on 2.60 now. I don't imagine it's easy to change down to an earlier version of the firmware... Cheers for the links...

RE: I thought it was only the 1.0 or previous that could do the unauthorised stuff?

Anything upto version 2.0 is downgradeable (is that a word?) anyway it wont be long until 2.6 is cracked...although 2.5 is taking a while.My friend has hacked his and now has pretty much every game for it! Although at the present he cant play GTA as ...

I had the same thoughts

Well, not seen episode two yet, but it was funny, but not the funniest thing ever. I don't want to sound like the kind of person who settles for "just OK", but it's probably wrong to expect each new comedy programme to be funnier than all the rest.

Yeah it says Sandgate in the piece though

The Grand isn't a real hotel any more is it? We asked in there about rooms, and they don't do regular by-the-night rooms I don't think...

Yeah I thought I changed this

The bloke from HIM? About 2/10 I reckon... Also, oh no, our names have disappeared! I will fix that.

quality spot though

He always looks like he has a bad disease when I see him on tv now...

Robbie is the best selling artist EVER!

Robbie Millions sold out 700,000 tickets in six hours at the weekend (according to a paper I found on the train) this makes him officially 7 times better than Elvis, The Beatles, The Stone Roses and KISS all squished together.There appear to be ticke...

EXCLUSIVE COLDPLAY INTERVIEW!!!

My mistake, I have put the word "exclusive" in there... what's happened is, Coldplay have sent an interview disk out with advanced copies of the new album "A Rush Of Blood To The Head". If I was a proper and experienced journalist I would pretend tha...

Don't shoot until you see the whites of their BLOODY EYES!

Oh, that was Zulu, and this is ULU, more specifically their gig newsletter they send me...We've just had confirmation that Deptfords finest, xfm favorites and indie darlings will be gracing us with their presence on the 28th March Sjm Concerts presen...

The Rainmakers

Don't know what day in February this was yet... Very poor turnout though apparently.

Thin Lizzy

Got bottled off possibly, though their manager to be was in the audience.

The Tears

plus The Subways. First official gig for Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler's new band, though they went and did a couple of sneaky warmups before this in Oxford and somewhere else. Not that great really....

Selling Houses

Oh yes lover, another one! Only half an hour this time, clearly we don't have to watch it though...

Duran Duran

Celeb-tastic, we were sat just a couple of rows behind Stephen Fry.
Not sure if this was the 14th or the 13 though...

stellastarr*

plus The Ordinary Boys and The 22s. Looks like everyone was there to see the Ordinary Boys, but I thought they were a bit ordinary... stellastarr were OK, not quite as convincing as on record though.

Camden Crawl II

Not just this venue, all around Camden, I saw Collapsed Lung and Moby here though......

Phoenix Festival

I clearly remember David Devant and Holy Barbarians, David Bowie, Sex Pistols and Foo Fighters too I think, must have seen a lot more though...

Chilli Fiesta

Some sort of chili event on this weekend in Chichester... best we keep the weekend free though I think...

Toyah

Caberet, hosted by Lee Hurst, with TV Smith, Dave Spikey, Pooka, Crisis Twins and almost certainly the Raymond and Mr Timpkins revue. Not sure this date is right, thought they were all on Fridays...

Neds Atomic Dustbin

I saw them once more on this tour, in Reading uni / poly I think, can't find the date though...

Thurman

Britpop, I thought they were the greatest at the time but it's not all aged well

Longpigs

See that, SIX in a row, Mansun, Perfume, Thurman, Fluffy, Gouge, Longpigs. At the time I thought what a GREAT time this is for music.

Starsailor

Contemporary indie, not all that exciting though.

Steak Night

Fish and vege options too, not sure they still do the more exotic meats though.

David Devant and his Spirit Wife

Before I lived in New Cross, didn't really know where it was. We thought we could get a tube there (it was not running) and walked back to Waterloo after...

Fleetwood Mac

+ Kilroy. Some time this month, not the 14th, 24th or 25th though, anyone know for sure? Might not even have been the LCH...

The Cuban Boys

Don't recall if they did their "Hamster Dance" single, I do remember an ace cover of "Self Esteem", though I could possiblybe mixing it up with an earlier Helen Love gig... Plus The Fighting Cocks.

Lone Star Comedy

Can't remember who's playing, someone good off the national circuit though, and we're going

Echobelly

Possibly this was 1994, I thought they were one of the first bands I saw at the Joiners, but I've got the details from Oliver Gray's gig list.

Britain's Got Talent

Need tickets even though it's sold out? This is you!

Ricky Gervais

Ricky Gervais is on tour! And we're going! Actually we're going on the 8th, don't see those online yet though......

Monsters of Rock

Aerosmith, who I hardly even remember. Not a great lineup, though the biggest one ever. I enjoyed Wildhearts and Terrorvision.

Lounge On The Farm

Really good lineup, they just added the New York Dolls though, aren't some of them dead?
