im NOT looking forweward to pauline quirk... imho she carries too much baggage , too familiar, (but im her generation roughly and know her from other tv appearances for 30 odd years). maybe she will fit in... maybe its a bad move... time will tell.

anybody with any knowlege of pop music cannot deny the songwriting skills of benny/bjorn, like them or not, they produced some classic pop music arguably second only to lennon/ mccartney.

the tax band they created when times were good... a much better rate then anything the tories did, even if it was for a few years.

i dont believe any of it for 1 second... theres always a rational explaination for every occurance, its just that we havnt yet sussed all the answers.

but hes right, i heard that on bbc news so its not going to happen. ps welcome to the site :)

..... but ive not heard 1 prediction from the met office that youd get anything other then that...

"theyll be dead by christmas" :lol: marlons plea to paddy last night regarding taking rhona on an emergency at a turkey farm.... brilliant!

to be fair to the racist, he didnt actually say that immigrants come here to sponge off our welfare system, he just said that they wouldnt be entitled to benefits .... which is fair enough.

surprisingly, i like this!

... but if she was a polished performer it wouldnt be reprisentitive of real life. i quite like her flawed character, her imperfections, again, that makes emmerdale realistic.

never heard of 'em.

'retro' is for music prior to y2k... ten years old... however this isnt that strict as retro artists who release new material can be discussed in here so those artists you listed were already established by y2k and can be discussed. mcr are current in music terms so can be discussed in the indie/rock section. :)

i like ryan lamb, i like his character, hes a likeable character... ok not a strong one , but in real life not everybody in your road IS a strong character.. this is what emmerdale does to great effect, uses 'ordinary' people to give reality to the soap, which makes it realistic. i couldnt give a flying fcuk whether jark or anybody agrees or disagrees, my opinion of any tv charactor is determined by what i see on the screen, not what some spotty kid is telling me i should think.

mcr are not 'retro' m8....
