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....

im not going to bicker with you.... ok, youre right, im wrong, hes crap. <_<

guys.... a few posts here are rather disrespectful.. tone it down thank you.

... you talk as if he had a choice.... there was no choice, either coalition or another election..

im not a fan either, but he had one hell of a voice and could sing (he even impressed elvis)... unlike todays balladeer counterparts like westlife...

to me, kylie stopped being an 'ex neighbours star' and became a pop star around ten years ago when her resurgence came with 'spinning around'.. and id probabally agree that an album of s/a/w would be better then an album of ex soap stars... although i did quite like craig mc clachlans 'one reason why'... at the time anyway, im not fussed now. nope, never heard of the forget me nots...

thats a matter of opinion jark... you might not like/rate him... but i do. he fits into the soap perfectly.

firstly, it wasnt the met office that predicted a bbq summer this year...it was the media. ignore anything the media says, its probabally bollox...even if they quote the met office, its usually taken out of context. secondly, it depends upon your location... last year the far south east DID get a bbq summer, and a larger area of the southeast this year has enjoyed a much better, drier, warmer summer then the rest of the country. i watch the forecasts daily, i have too as it directly effects my work/leisure time. this last week they have been spot on... getting rainfall predictions, temps, wind speed/direction correct. i think its a popular misconception that 'they always get it wrong', in reality, the short term forecasts are very accurate, if you listen and understand what they are telling you. ignore any long term prediction form anyone.... no one can predict more then a week ahead with any accuracy or reason, its merely a guess, sometimes they will be right, other times they wont. long range forecasting is coming on though, the global atmosphere is an ever changing entity, and is highly complicated. reading these 'teleconnections' is the key to getting the gist of the likely synoptic pattern right. there are one or two on netweather who are pretty good at interpreting the teleconnections out to a few weeks ahead. member 'glacier point' predicted that the azores high will remain out to our west and a trough would develop over northern europe.... unfortunately he has been proven right, which is why we have had a much cooler cloudier spell for the last month or so. unfortunately theres no sign of the current pattern breaking.. the winds are most likely to remain the the northwestern quadrant, even though there might be a pressure rise later this week with some nicer weather... this isnt currently expected to last.

super meeting in stockholm last night, tyson gaye beating usain bolt! ... michael rimmer had an astounding run too nearly beating the russian european champ (dunno how to spell his name! lol) more importantly these two europeans beat some world class africans!! roll on crystal palace next week!

dont know about in america, but the monkees not being a real pop group was big news here for a short while... even as a ten year old i thought it was a bad thing.. as for judge dread.... vile... just part of that awful 70's sexist bollox that gave us 'emmanuelle' and the 'confessions of' soft porn seriese of films. even as a teenage schoolboy i never liked judge dreads awful material. 'louie louie' was rather rude apparently, but i never knew the track until later as it passed me by as a young kid in the 60's ... even though i know from first hand most other chart tracks from the era.

yep, just another example of the way emmerdale slips in abit of humour in a dramatic scene... great performances again from the alpha males, ryan, caine, nathan, aaron.... brilliant characters.
