I had no idea that the word 'doo' had officially become Yard Team speak, Spinders. Did we invent that? Anyway, pushing pedantry aside (I'm with Dregsy on this case here, I never got the point of the extra 'o'- spelling and grammar police all the way).
Unortunately, of all the days to not be around in Halifax, erm... I'm not going to be in Halifax this weekend. In fact, I'm going to Manchester, whilst everyone from Manchester comes home. Bah! Should be good though. I'm off to see The Fall.
Although, Mark E. Smith, an alcoholic football fan + a World Cup match on the hottest day of the year could = shoddy performance.
I'll be back Sunday tea-time though, so I'll be at the gig.
Oh yeah, and Spinders, do you and Salena fancy a few ales in Manc on Friday night. Say, at Big Hands, or somewhere cheaper along the Road of Oxford? If she's not busy, this will be the last time I'll get to see her before she goes home, so I think that earns her a White Russian/cocktail of her choice.

Shuffles is talking sense here, 'd**' was never and will never be a Yardteamism. It is merely dialect disguised as mockery of it's origins: therefore dragging the user in to it's trap.
I urge you all, dispose of this word and find a better one!
'B**m' is also old news, and is the humour I expect from Sampson. No offence intended to Mr Sampson, but he is that far behind in terms of any of our lives that the inevitable 'Faliraki was acccccccce' will now always be treated with a nervous 'Yeh' from the majority of those present.
I'm up for this Pro Evo World Cup anyway, should be a right Boom Doo

Well, if we're gonna be pedantic Joe, I never said we invented the word do. That would be like saying Patrick Mboma invented the word 'the'. However, we did like to describe parties, social gatherings, bar mitzvahs with some sorta pre-fix on 'do' (reet, bit of a)- like young Gary likes to 'do.' Anyhoos -yes, i'll be up for a few drinks on Friday and i'm sure Salena wouldn't turn down a cocktail from Big Hands. So that gets a deal- muchos ta.
'Can I get like, an er, DaMarcus Beasely you?' could be an optional American equivalent.

Olaf Mellberg isn't fit to lick the sweat off Van Der Meyde's knees. I say we just let the weakest opponents pick first, as if you arent the best at the game then you've got no chance being the likes of Italy or France. So who do you want Akes?

Haha, sarcasm gets you nowhere. Mellsy will be doing some bone cruching tackles on Van der Meyde. Just you see.
And the mighty Swedes are playing at 5 on saturday, so I shall be viewing that. A hatrick for Henrik and 2 for Ibrahimovic will do me nicely against the T&t's

It's nothing to do with spelling, it's just over-used phrases that get on my nerves.
At this moment though, 'Wooooooooohheeeey' is officially funny

I tell you what isn't funny though....the new Primal Scream album. 'Evil Heat' was a little disappointing, but this new one takes the proverbial digestive.
I was going to write a review, but its hard to fight back the tears for long enough to do one. My desk is like Lake Windermere at the moment

C'mon G.Barn, you're not still fighting the cause for ver Scream are you? Their musical directions are as easy to predict as the sun coming up. They release something good, and then piss out an abysmal, watered down 'Exile On Main Street' rip-off.
...and that's before mentioning the truth and reality words of a forty year old man who should know better, and irritating tubby-arsed Mani, who's love of riding on former glories comes second only to Clint Boon. He can cock off!
Saying that, I still son't mind the Screams' new single, even if it does remind me of 'Sweet Virginia'.

They're still a rather inciendary live band with a varied back catalogue Joe. No problems on that scale.
Its just the way that they've run out of ideas. The new album sounds like the Scream are creatively redundant. In fact, the highlight of the LP is Will Sargeant creaming out some Rubiks Cube guitar on a mid album track. The rest of it is, both musically and lyrically, straight out of the big book of post-Stooges rock cliches.
So in a nutshell, disappointing. Even the artwork is a bit naff, ripping off early U2

As a world-class master of the fine art of running a phrase into the ground, its always a shame for me to see the old favourites die away. Today was an especially apt day for the suddenly much-maligned "Boooooooooooooooooooooooooom", as im going to Hiroshima.

on the subject of both Shack and Primal Screams new albums, they both featured in HMV Tokyo's top three albums of the week this week! The tracks I listened to sounded worse to me than the noise of a diving plane must sound to a Pearl Harbour survivor.
