Oh dear, its the grammar police again. We can all pick holes in each other's grammar, so why bother? Regards

Films that spring to mind are Jaws, The Longest Day, An American Werewolf in London, Waterloo and any of the old Johnny Weisemuller tarzan ones. Regards

Somebody who has just cashed the GIRO, in the pub. Regards

Its when Roger Waters gets his foreskin caught in his zip. Regards

Eh? Regards

The 'ooh ooh oohs' in The Funky Gibbon take some beating. Regards

Sorry, on reading it again I realise what a load of patronising, bleedin' obvious drivel that really was! I was in report-writing mode, so please excuse the rubbish that spew forth. Regards

I've noticed a change in the six months I have been on - when I joined it was very much a 'Stairway to Heaven v Freebird' discussion group (I know other topics were discussed, but I really did think it had this emphasis). It has opened up since, to include discussions on religion, politics and downright smut and perversion. I personally think it has changed for the better, as it enables people who like music to talk about all sorts of issues that touch each other's lives, whilst maintaining the musical undercurrent. With regard to the 'popularity contest' concern, this is just human group dynamics at work, no different to any other social group and consequently unavoidable. This effect is cyclical, and one always has the choice whether or not to participate. In any social group people will bond through a system of compliments and mutual ego-massaging, and this is a large part of the reason why we as animals chose to communicate with others - it makes us feel good about ourselves. As I said before, it is cyclical as group members useage depends upon all sorts of factors such as work/domestic pressures and interest span, so like the British weather if you don't like it just wait 10 minutes and it will change! As for a perceived downturn in intellectual standards, I don't think this has happened, its just that the subject matter tends to the base on occasion. Its all about how it is done, and I think it is done in a manner that whilst often crude, generally avoids the downright offensive. Too many knob gags? Depends upon your sense of humour I suppose, and there is always a choice of forums if a particular one doesn't interest. Just rambling. Regards

CD, the 'I don't think' bit was an accident for which I apologise. I started typing something else, stopped and forgot I left half a sentence. Good to see you back though. The 'pure mutated dog sh*t' comment was inspirational and will keep me warm all day! Your take on Politics is wonderful. Put Kerry into any European political party and he would be a Conservative. As he is seen as the 'Liberal' way in the US, most Americans therefore are right wing in their views. Keep up the good work. Regards

Sorry folks, I've just remembered. It is rhyming slang: Hampton - Hampton Wick - Dick Therefore a standing Hampton is..... On with the music discussion. Regards

I saw Sammy Hagar in the UK years ago. It was the 'Standing Hampton' Tour. Does anyone know what 'Standing Hampton' means? Regards

CD, the American population is generally so right-wing that any 'Liberal' trying to push a view is right-wing also. Just look at Bush v Kerry for an example of this. A 'Liberal' in the true sense would be a Commie in the US. Regards I don't think

I saw the Quo years ago at a festival. They are good honest entertainment in a denim-clad kind of way. They still have a big following apparently. Regards

Whats a cootie? Is it a rozzer, or a coldslaw? Is it one of those things you get from somebody who kisses the wrong toilet seats? Regards

I shall not post a photo of the little piece of heaven I call home as I don't know how to. I can say however that San Diego and La Jolla are lovely places and having visited I would be happy to live in either. Excuse the sweeping generalisation here, but you in the US are very lucky to have so much space to play. Regards

It was a few years ago Scott, so you may be right. Then again, ever wondered how they keep their schoolboy-trim figures? Regards

It was by 'The Crack' wasn't it? Regards

Romantic side? It is still there, only I am suffering from 'new baby' syndrome so I feel I have an excuse - sheer mental exhaustion! When I do have the chance to empty my head, profanity spills forth unfortunately. Underneath I am still the same smooth chap I always was. As for the crystal meth, I have heard (from a mate who had a drink with them in a hotel bar in Dublin of all places) that the Chillies live on the stuff. Regards

You are forgetting the greatest singing actress of them all IMO - Doris Day. Regards

Its good to do something other than change nappies, believe me. Regards

Its either that or a tune on the purple oboe! Regards

'Afterglow (of your love)' - Small Faces Why? Because it doesn't get any better than this! Regards

Don't tempt me. Regards

What human has a 3 gallon stomach? Mr Mercury may have enjoyed the odd toke on the pink spliff, but could not have held that much, surely. Unless of course it was a career total! Regards

Are there fewer buttons nowadays? I'm not searching for one (I gave that up a while ago, mate!), but you do seem a lot more passive than you once did. Is it a new 'lurve' interest perhaps, or more to do at work? It's only because I care! Regards
