Favourite titles...? Page 9

Because whining babies like Griff demanded that it be there because they visit at work. Boo hoo.

Interesting that when you - or maybe zooo, but you're pretty much indistinguishable nowadays - you two WHINED LIKE A BABY about how people visited the site at work and half naked ladies weren't acceptable. Hypocrite. :|

This probably the best place to inquire whether meetings via the BSG forums (now pronounced BCG forums) have led to any marriages yet?

Possibly some divorces. A few minor sexual assaults. Only one manslaughter charge, I believe.

Laughing out loud I have to agree though. I'd be at school or work and people behind me who don't understand forums would be giving me dirty looks. I always found myself cropping my window so the icons wouldn't show on the left.

There's a difference between a short word and scantily clad women next to every other post. Anyway, my site, my rules, my prerogative.

Yes, avatars are much more visible from a distance than words are.

Just wondering what peoples favourite titles of books, films, bands, songs etc are? It doesn't matter how good or bad the actual thing is, just whether it's got a title that grabs you by the short and curlies. I've got a few, but my all time favourite is this:

Slap Her... She's French (film)

I'm also fond of:

Butthole Surfers (band)
Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And love The Bomb
Werwolves of London (song)

Love the film title (and the Warren Zevon song) Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead.

Favourite book title is the Hunter S Thompson collection, Generation Of Swine

My favourite band name is actually fictional, in Peep Show Jeremy and Super Hans' last name for their band was Curse These Metal Hands.

It's a good film as well. And Zevon, who had the great misfortune to die in the same week as Johnny Cash, was excellent on titles. Such as I Was In The House When The House Burned Down, Send Lawyers Guns and Money, Excitable Boy and Splendid Isolation to name but a few. A true genius.

Plus, of course, Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner, one of his best (and David Letterman's favourite).

Not why I whined anyway. :)
I just don't want to look at lady nipples, bushes or cocks constantly.

Or at least, not when I haven't gone looking for them specifically. ;)

Emerson Lake and Palmer-Brain Salad Surgery.

Propagandhi (one of my favourite bands)

I think I saw them once, maybe. :S I don't remember much about it, or anything else tbh.

Damn Griff! I was halfway through reading that.

If I could do it again I'd do it all over you - Caravan. A brilliant song. No idea what the title has to do with it though!

Or - There's no lights on the Christmas tree mother - they're burning big Louie tonight - Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

There was a very good indie band in Bristol when I was growing up, who all lived in a sort-of commune/squat, with all the band also running their own landscape gardening business. Both the band and the business were called We Dig Your Earth.

Wave I take it you no longer live here Tim?

Back on topic;

I've just found a pocket book called "The Good Loo Guide to Norfolk"

[ISBN 1 874739 11 0 if anyone's interested!]

Sherlock Bones. I almost bought it when I saw it in Poundland on the basis of the title alone.
