Vertical Horizon - "Everything You Want" (2000 or 2001); No.1 hit in the U.S. missed the top 40 here Matchbox 20 - "Bent" (2000); No.1 U.S. hit, not released here possibly due to the British-English meaning being a homophobic slur.

Karen looks rough as guts and I find it hard to like her, although the subplot was very heartbreaking :(. Abi starring at the monitor when it flatlined was a WTF? moment for me..... go get help and call the nurses, not stare at the monitor saying "Steven?" over and over!. Fantastic episode anyway and no annoying red herrings. I also liked how each episode started, in which how the previous one ended is used to start off the next one, but from a different viewpoint; e.g. the gunshot being heard again, but instead we hear it again with the Taylors on screen, instead of the Coker imposters.

Its like they filmed three different crashes and the media are not clear on which was was used.

Thought it was odd they shown the ambulances travelling well out of the square; when you see that something usually happens and I got prepared for it. There could be a red herring twist there, we are supposed to think that was Ian and Steven in there, but it could be Abi and Lauren instead.

Ted is acting exactly just like James from "When the Wind Blows" with a gun involved. He even used a chest of drawers propped towards a window to cushion explosion impacts.

Steven's "time to pray" line was so random.

Can't that mayor go into Walford without being abused by morons?. The actors who played the protesters came across as people who couldn't act. Throwing a cream pie was also poor writing.

When will ITV stop using that ancient Verve/Rolling Stones rip off song as break bumpers and the intro?. Their stubbonness not to change it is just like the FA's stubborness in employing Yes-Men to the England job all the time.

At least England qualify for every tournament, not every national team can say that I suppose, although the following summer we get laughed at by the media as soon as we are out. Totally awful tonight, made the scoreline flatter us, Southgate says Hart is England's best goalkeeper (let in 11 in 3 games and not one save to make tonight), while an idiot tweets "What's wrong?, easy-peasy England". Its attitudes like this that cause delusion and no forward progress in improvement. The passing in the first half was almost non existent in terms of being actually any good.

Just done the same!! :cheer: . Last few albums did well, hopefully this can keep up the momentum. I used to really like Bloc Party, but in recent years they've gone a bit stale, but with The National each listen is different from the last. Also bought Rose Ellinor Dougal's album "Stellular" on vinyl from a local store who ordered it for me. She was in The Pippetes who I found too cheesey for my liking, but this album sounds like Stereolab and other experimental bands, with a bit of Dubstar thrown in. Was recomended it by a friend at work who goes to the store often. Think I'll ask my fiancee tomorrow if I can rip his National vinyls to MP3 format, so I can listen to them on the go. Even hearing that crackling sound from the stylus beats polished up perfect CD sound.

At least it wasnt as bad as "I've... got nothing left!!!...", but I still agree.

Everyone having to say "Walford in bloom!" when the photo got taken, Stephen dragging it on further...... Please end this rubbish now!!!.

The National are brilliant, my fiancee converted me to them and is planning on dragging me along to a gig. He's taken me on a few already. We have quite a vinyl collection in the flat, about 95 percent of what he plays is on the format!.

On the Ceiling was good also, even if it appeared on that advert which was an OK Go video rip off! :lol:

Ashes to Ashes got me into that song and band; it was used in the end credits of one of the season 1 eps.

Sadly the "Papering over the cracks" cup these days :(. Real shame, cos growing up, Cup Final Day was a huge deal in our household.

Looks like both AFCON finalists won't qualify!.

Have to do Reading next year with the boy, as long as it don't co-incide with our wedding!.

Comsumary finish for Egypt as usual then!. Impress at the AFCON, flop in WC Qualifying!. Always the same old teams from Africa also!. This is like the UCL with the same familiar semi-final line-up year in year out due to the formatting never changing (CAF qualifying has been the same format since France 98 qualifying also). Is there a chance Uganda can make it instead?. I hate a World Cup in which every single team have been there before, its what made the 2014 tournament so cr@p (plus a few other reasons), although it was on a technicality involving Slovakia continuing on Czechoslovakia's record.

They should, there is a market for them amongst compellists and while they're at it, put them onto Spotify (can't find Now 48 on there). These spin-offs of recent times don't even sell that well considering the sales of the regular volumes.

These Now compilations are not as good as they used to be anymore :(. Just stick with the regular series and ditch the spin-offs I say.

"Its papering over the cracks blud!" :lol: :lol: :lol: Will be a huge riot if that happens against Chelsea :lol: As for United, I have no venom against them, its just their supporters and pundits gassing over them when they have played 3 teams who won't even challenge for a top 10 slot. It isnt like they played Chelsea, Man City then Spurs for example. I also cannot stand former players talking about their glory days like Charlton, but I've never hated George Best and even read his autobiography once. You can only beat what's put in front of you, but we are only 3 games into a 38 game season. That 8-2 match.... United fans keep banging on about that today, although that same season they got smashed 6-1 by their local and bigger rivals, then ended the season trophyless, unlike City and lost the title in the worse way possible.

The backstage Rock Profile sketches are what made the late 2001 relaunch of TOTP a huge white elephant in the first place. Then the Radio 1 top 40 had all these interview segments before the chart, which made listening figures drop off. I hope this new show quickly realises the mistakes made in the past and cut the nonsense out, after all, the old Radio 1 format of playing every song in the top 40 actually worked a whole lot more better. Just like TOTP when it was just the songs, chart rundown then the number one.

The only reason to watch ArsenalFanTV is when they lose "aint it blud?" :lol:

Man United had an easy run so far against a team who are playing like relegation fodder, a team who like to build up players to high value, sell them, then use the money to buy lower league tat and then a team who would be evenly matched against them both. United couldn't have wished for an easier start. Huddersfield are living the dream, to say I don't care about their good start, as they had less tough opening fixtures than us..... I would be a liar.
