Also, bags. One, those f**king bags in supermarkets for putting fruit in. And, two, bin bags. How hard are they to open!!!? I often lose my rag with them in the middle of the shop going a little Basil Fawlty.
Also, also, toilet rolls that don't unravel properly and you end up having to waste the first ten sheets by tearing them away.

A lot of pop may not come from the heart but if it gets your foot-a-tapping what's the f**king problem?
It's like when you call it (c)rap. That's just the opinion of someone who doesn't understand it, but it's perfectly understandable if it doesn't sound good in your ear and I'm not surprised a 93 year old man can't relate to the the early 70s Bronx ghetto scene. I'm surprised you easily dismiss something that has roots in blues music, jazz and even further back. Rap is the biggest franchise in the world. Sure there's a lot of pop-rap, that has lost touch with its values but at the end of the day it is an extremnely powerful form of expressive music (to a beat or rythm) that cannot be so easily dismissed.
Rant over.
I just don't think Take That are very good. I can appreciate all sorts of music. When it comes to rap I like Dream Warriors, Run DMC, and a few more interesting or humourous ones but I can't really see the point of just chanting over a rhythm track with no musical skill or songwriting talent.

You wouldn't say that if you'd been subjected to 50+ years of the same tired old chord progressions, the same tired old males singing "Baby I Love You" (Trans.: Get your knickers off).. and the same old b*****d neighbours who technothump it through your walls and ceilings 24/7..
..or maybe you would?

At what though? Who are you comparing them to? What is a good boyband, are you more of a Boyzone fan? Maybe you're a JLC kinda guy?
I understand you don't like them. Fair enough. I can even understand why you think they're crap. But I'm not sure what they're not good at? Not gettting multiple Number 1s? Or maybe being the most popular boyband (in the modern sense) in Britain and one of the most in the world?

Why do you like Rum DMC? They're very rappy, the rappiest, maybe? Except when they went Walk This Way, and even then, they rapped in it. Hah! The Dream Warriors, fair dos!
The point? I can't answer that? Why does anyone do anything? Why does a singer sing? To share their story, to sell records, to get sex?
Quote: Lee @ June 5 2012, 10:16 PM BSTWhy do you like Rum DMC?
Because they've got spirit?
TTPYO? Not having a pop at Will Cam, but those "Keep Calm &..." pictures. Can we, as a nation, stop now please?

Yaar I beloving them that 80s Pirate rock groups.
I hate it that my body is so conditioned to waking up early (birds or no birds). It's half-term, I don't have to work and my child has only just got up. And yet I've been awake since 6. At least my body was, my face is still partially asleep.
Touche'

The fruit bags or the bin bag?
If the latter what are you doing trying to open them in the middle of the shop, unless of course you work there.
Fruit bags. Bin bags at home.
You just give the bag a good rub and it comes apart Nil.

Always fun when you try to open them at one end to find it stuck, try the other to find it also stuck. I think the bag stick pixies like to play mind games with you and block both ends the first time you try to open them.
Not sure what that has to do with my post, sootyj, but ok.

That's what "they" would have you believe, I'm not convinced.
And to add insult to injury, in-store, you're there struggling to get the bastarding 'fruit bag' open only to have some one else trundle up and whip one open easy as pie! Bastards.
