Obviously you don't know good music when it hits you in the face . . . . . . . actually i can't say that because you like Rilo Kiely . . . . . . . but don't mock John Frusciante or there'll be hell to pay "ZANE"

Sweetness!

My all time favourites are

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm

Are you threatening me ''Ooly''?

Is you saying that I wouldn't know good music if it hit me in the face a dig at the greatest band of this decade who are of course The Libertines? If you dare to go there I'll be handing out life bans! You watch it now!

Rilo Kiely? I know of a band called Rilo Kiley but Rilo Kiely? Is the name of the local DJ who plays old Irish folk songs all night in one of your 3 nightclubs? If not you can't spell very well can you.... duh!

Anyways John Frusciante is a bit of a ledge must admit but why on earth any female would want to stalk a guy who looks like he's homeless is way beyond me! :rolleyes: :eek:

Hey now i never mentioned the Libertines.....i quite like them,
Jeez of course i can spell.....ever heard of a typo???????

Don't bring the nightclub thing into this....it's a very emotional topic & us Sligo people don't like to talk about it much
Why wouldn't anybody want to stalk this fine piece of ass..................
