Im goin off to the wilderness, up a mountain in Austria next week for a few months. Goin' back to the old simple life y'know, hunting and gathering, washing in streams etc. Though naturally ill be trying to get myself some broadband up there too. Im not an animal.

Can't wait though, just a few months of snowboarding (its a glacier so guaranteed snow till end of July) and working in some nice easy-on-the-brain bar or shop or hotel job or something. Oh and I also discovered the Spanish National team is gonna be staying in the same valley as me for the Euro's! I can try my luck with Nando

dont let it turn ya off, buy anything by sam cooke. seriously the guys voice is like silk, best singer ever. ya can pick up decent enough "ultimates collections" with 40-50 tunes on em on iTunes for a tenner, do it!

Wow I never figured YOU to be one of good taste! Fair play

Have you heard Sam Cooke's 'Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963'? I was listening to it last night and when he broke into 'Bring It On Home To Me' it just completely stopped me dead in my tracks. I was so blown away there were near tears of joy welling up! I think it's possibly the greatest live recording I've ever heard.

Marvin Gaye is probably my favourite singer of all time.

Yea i actually have that recording too, its class the way he breaks into it alright, his voice is pretty shot during the performance, more so than usual which the punch the tune packs imo. cracking song. cracking singer.

Gotta be Sam Cooke or Roy Orbison for me. I like Marvin Gaye, but some of his stuff is a little "too produced" for me, prefer the old school soul sound.

Could someone else check for me, because I am busy hiding underneath tinfoil, but is the BBC website down? For the first time EVAR or something?
Is this the end?

If google ever goes down the world will stop spinning and planes will fall from the sky.

Vantage Point is sh*t? Ah balls. I was actually looking forward to that having seen the trailer and the cast.

Anyone seen The Bucket List? That's better than I expected. Had a little tear in the eye towards the end I'll admit.

Most disappointed I've ever been in a film. For a movie that is supposed to travel the globe, the special effects (read: Green screen) scenes were abysmal. The scene in the race cars? More continuity errors than I care to recount. At one stage the cars were left and right of each other then the next second they had switched... Pyramid scene: bollox... Skydive scene: bollox... Great Wall scene: bollox...

Bollox bollox bollox!

dr.bollocko · 13-03-2008 11:56PM

This is true. But I am pretty sure BBC, at least from Australia, has just done a klinsmann. Where the hell is Xavi to confirm or deny these unfounded rumours about the downfall of the internets??

Cant go wrong with a bit of Shatner too. He's transcended any roles, he's just Shatner.

Boston Legal FTW. How cool is James Spader when he goes on one of those rants in court? Legend. Puts that Chelsea fella who's always at it here to shame!

Shatner is a god.

I still can't decide between him and the Hoff tho..

At the moment I'm going with Shatner because of his version of Mr. Tambourine Man and Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

The Hoff made music, but Germans like it

I went to a flamenco gig tonight. With real dancing Spanish señoritas! Not even Alan Smith himself can sour my mood right now.

Flamenco is great. One of my friends dances and I go see them. Girls are all average, the guy who dances with them is the coolest guy I have ever seen.

The guitar is awesome too. Probably why I like Rodrigo y Gabriella so much.

Xavi6 · 14-03-2008 07:37AM

So yes, in 40 minutes time (4.15pm) I will leave the office and walk the short distance to the nearest watering hole where I will consume the first of many alcoholic beverages for what is bound to be a glorious Friday night. I hope the Off Topic thread can handle me in about twelve hours time.

Paddy's weekend starts here!

Mr Magnolia · 14-03-2008 08:19AM

FWIW, I also really enjoy this thread. It's taken me back into Soccer.
