Linus27 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1333995709' post='1609401'] Well, it seems Daz is very negative about the whole thing, but where you went wrong was ironing it [/quote] Bugger so close but so far. If only I had skipped the ironing but my mum would not let me out the house if I had not ironed it, pulled my socks up and combed my hair with a side parting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 [quote name='billyapple' timestamp='1333995141' post='1609389'] It's disappointing that you put up a post like this, Daz. If you took the time to read through the whole thread you will see that a good many BC'ers took up the challenge for this gig, investing their talent, time and money. But, I guess you are trying to be funny. If you looked at NMA's web-site you will see that they auditioned 20 people from 80 applicants, and (I believe) 5 of those applicants were from the BC family. That's a 25% representation, and one which I think we should all be very proud. I had a quick look at your profile, and all of your own influences pre-date NMA by a long chalk...

After all there is some old codger called Bruce Springsteen who's latest album is tipped to do very well in the hit parade, so perhaps there is hope for us all.[/font] [/quote] I would shoo them all away. They would turn to me: [i]but Gus, why? Why drive us away, when we have come to recognise your greatness.[/i] And I would say to them, this gathered multitude, young and old: [i]"f*** off, I am waiting for Kyuss, and you ***** are running my phone line ragged. Now take your free evening minutes and fit them up your pop-rock arses"[/i]. In Daz's defence, NMA are an acquired taste. But I loved your excitement for them; and I would ask that you love my excitement when Kyuss ring me to say Reeder is being a bellend, and they need a Scouser to hot wire their van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monckyman Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Now, this is a bit more fun. There was me, mendin me clog to the tune of "Over the Wire" an wun o me whippets got at the pigeons and being on me own like as the good lady wife was off gravy wrestling I ad to cope on me own. I thought Daz post was funny, and I`m sure Sullivan will find it funny too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Good grief do I have to put f***ing similes all over a page to make people see I'm joking. You bunch of poker arses. For what its worth I probably saw NMA more times than the vast majority of people on this forum. (first saw them at the 1983 Futurama so I suppose its more a comment on my age than theirs) Edited April 9, 2012 by daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
