Only just heard about this rendition of an already pretty turgid song. Listen out for the caterwauling on the chorus. The only benefit of Jo Whiley’s radio show is that it occasionally, accidentally sorts the wheat from the chaff in terms of those who actually have a smidgen of talent as compared to the over-produced, bizarrely acclaimed pile of shit at the top of this post.
My ears are bleeding.

*slinks out from under rock*
This is the first time I’ve been moved to comment on a topic on here. This makes me want to rip out my eyeballs just so I’ve got something to plug my ears with.
Seriously, unlistenable isn’t the word. Almost as scary as the comments page on YouTube which has fans describing it as ‘mint’ ‘mellow’, and my personal favourite from some poor unfortunate who goes by the name of D1AR2YL:
“This is FANTASTIC!!! 100% Pure talent!! Love Girls Aloud! They are AMAZING!! xx”
Truly terrifying.
*shakes head in disbelief*
Terrifying.
*slinks back under rock*
September 28, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Glad you agree Kremble – I’ve played this three times today just because it’s too ugly to believe….
September 28, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Could Jo Whiley go any further up pop stars arses?
As Simon Amstell said – Radio One – Moyles, Mills, Whiley…it just won’t do.
September 28, 2008 at 10:09 pm
Strangely it was the love lounge that won me over to One Republic because, even though their songs make me feel physically sick, they’re talented lads, as the below cover’ll prove -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX4lfOrXQ3M&feature=related
Not earth shattering or anything.
September 28, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Sorry, the love lounge is a seedy lap bar I get drunk in at three in the afternoon most Wednesdays.
September 29, 2008 at 8:47 am
I can’t see the clip at work can someone tell me what the song is please?
Kremble that’s the second time you’ve posted, the first one was to mock me. Don’t be shy, come and play, it’s fun.
Anyone here heard of a folk singer called Mary Hampton? Amazing voice, hauntingly beautiful lyrics. I see big things in her future.
Anyone watch Breaking Bad last night? It’s on the FX Sunday night Dexter slot. I was really impressed. I was gutted when Dexter finished and was delighted to see a worthy replacement to tide me over until Dexter series 3.
September 29, 2008 at 8:49 am
Is hauntingly even a word? Damn I’ve had too much coffee this morning. Anyone watch Massive, I liked it. It will tide me over until new Two Pints I guess.
September 29, 2008 at 8:58 am
Very funny. I wasn’t expecting the Pussycat Dolls but that was truely vile.
I mentioned Jo Whiley a while ago in my Orangeunsigned tirade here http://nicktann.blogspot.com
I must awayy to the tube of you.
I played a gig on friday and was spectacular but……..
September 29, 2008 at 9:24 am
this sounds no worse than many of the new young beat combo pop bands I hear, to be honest.
Surely their market is 9-12-year-old girls. Not us bunch of twats.

Apparently Alan Turner, X Factor contestant is a fraud. He was never estranged from his family. I feel like I’ve been massively cheated and can’t carry on.

September 29, 2008 at 9:37 am
I have to be SH. Im shagging cheryl and the ginger one – dont even know her name, but she likes it like that. Marisa is enjoying it too. She sits and watches, occassionally doing her Pilates.
I dont really get that alan truner joke. Do you perhaps have to be a soap fiend like yourself to get the gag?
September 29, 2008 at 9:39 am
CM’s coming out boxing this morning. Who’d have thought it?
Bananarama are rubbish n’all *dives for cover*
September 29, 2008 at 9:43 am
spent the weekend looking after my parents who have both injured themselves.
If that doesnt send you out boxing dave, I dont know what would.
Hopefully the strychnine will have kicked in by midday. I’ll bury the bodies this evening.
September 29, 2008 at 9:43 am
Bananarama are a completely different story – great looking gals, bouncy pop hits and dance moves to knock your socks off. Aloud look like a heap of drugged heifers in comparison.
September 29, 2008 at 9:44 am
I liked the dark-hairded one out of bananarama. I think shes married to andrew ridgeley now.
September 29, 2008 at 9:45 am
What – her out of Shakespear’s Sister?
Sian whatsit?
September 29, 2008 at 9:46 am
enough dissing the Aloud Swineshead. Marisa says she’ll come round there and give you a good spanking if you’re not careful young man.
*still waiting on an explanation for the alan turner gag*
September 29, 2008 at 9:47 am
no, she was blone. the small dark-haired cute one.
September 29, 2008 at 9:48 am
shes the cute piggy one in the middle:

Find me a picture, Mr Mingles. Immediately.
Yes, the X Factor cheat (who’s miraculously made it through) has the same name as the fat old bloke who’s been in Emmerdale since the early 80s. Upon realising this, I spent moments of my life constructing that link for nobody’s amusement but my own.
Here’s the full story – check out the picture of the Dad. It is terrifying.

Oh right. To x factor devoteees like myself thats old news SH.

That was not only the best song they’ve ever done, but probably the best piece of music ever preformed. In fact, after hearing this song, I wouldn’t use the word ‘music’ to describe anything that’s come before this song, as in the full context such albums as Revolver only offer an introduction to this musical brilliance. Trust Wiley to uncover such a rare classic, she’s usually the orchestrate of such a thankless wanking off session that sees a self important popband cover a song by a self important pop band.
September 29, 2008 at 11:01 am
Well. “Back in secondary school all the fuss was about Sex in the City.”

You’ve lost me there, Indy.
September 29, 2008 at 11:03 am
sh: shakespeare’s sister. banned from tv due to disturbing video (stay). where did they go?
September 29, 2008 at 11:05 am
Ah – Stay was a lovely song, I thought.
They split up and the Canadian one went solo and flopped all over the shop. The prettier one pops up on TV occasionally. I loved her when I was 12. I think it was probably unrequited.
September 29, 2008 at 11:07 am
Indy – To the dark world of the Mr Blobby video.
September 29, 2008 at 11:07 am
“Back in secondary school all the fuss was about Sex in the City.” it’s a -brilliant- quote from the friday’s blogpost. i don’t know why but i kind of like it, in a sort of catchphrasey way. i wonder to school the tombstone went to… in my secondary school all the fuss was about mongolia, pythagoras and world war II.
September 29, 2008 at 11:09 am
My favourite comment
“May I ask, what exactly is ‘out of tune’? Is it like, singing another note instead of the one you should? Then, what makes it different to ‘flat’ or ’sharp’
September 29, 2008 at 11:11 am
they were named after ‘that’ smiths song. one of them was a former bananaramarararamara (right?). they had a scary video. they had an ok follow up song (hello – the radio song, am i right?). great.
September 29, 2008 at 11:13 am
Yeah, we’re talking the same language Indy.
STAY WIV MEEEEEEEEEEE
September 29, 2008 at 11:14 am
The former Banannananananrnararaamama one was married to Dave Stewart of Slayer

Yes, Piqued – he was the one who created Shakespear’s Sister. And then he created Alisha’s Attic. Remember them?
Cos I am
I feel
A blah blah blah blah blah
*dies*
September 29, 2008 at 11:19 am
alisha’s attic. yes.
speaking of late eighties/early nineties british female fronted band: dubstar. they where great.
September 29, 2008 at 11:21 am
Christ I remember them
and them
SH, I reckon Dave only created SS to give his missus a job so she could chip in with the rent
September 29, 2008 at 11:22 am
as I say – the cure dark-haired one out of bananarama ( 80′2 slang for women who like dildo’s,for anyone who doesnt know) is now partnered-up with andrew ridgeley. she still looks pretty good too from what I can see.
September 29, 2008 at 11:23 am
*80’s slang
September 29, 2008 at 11:24 am
piqued – dave stewart: musical genius and evil landlord. great combination. i can see him walking through east end dressed as ebenezer scrooge while whistling “sweet dreams”
September 29, 2008 at 11:26 am
He’s very, very small too. I’ve seen him about town struggling to pick up conkers for a game with Right Said Fred who are minute
September 29, 2008 at 11:28 am
where do you live piqued – stella street?
September 29, 2008 at 11:32 am
charliemingles: “the cure dark-haired one out of bananarama” the cure? what do they have to do with it? except that their bass player wrote “torn”, made famous by nathalie imbruglia et al.
September 29, 2008 at 11:32 am
Stella Street was rubbish – dunno why every man and his dog harps on about it. I imagine Piqued lives at 52 Festive Road.
September 29, 2008 at 11:33 am
indy – never knew that. good pop fact. you should be on telly.
heres one of mine: whats the connection between lou reed and ex-watchdog presenter Sue cook?
September 29, 2008 at 11:35 am
Stell Street was superb
(Dave I don’t even own a bowler hat)
September 29, 2008 at 11:37 am
can I be the middle-man here and say stella street was hit and miss.
thanks
September 29, 2008 at 11:39 am
Somebody claim the indifference slot before I do.
September 29, 2008 at 11:48 am
charliemingles: so what’s the reed/cook connection?
September 29, 2008 at 11:49 am
you cant claim the indifference slot dave. you said it was shit.
September 29, 2008 at 11:53 am
glad you asked me that indy. I can feel the tension in the room as everyone hangs on my every word over this fascinating question.
yes, what IS the connection between Lou reed and ex-watchdog presenter Sue cook?
*cocks ear*
*hears nothing but indifferent typing*
*carries on anyway*
Herbie flowers, who played the bass line on walk on the wild side, was in shite 80’s pop-classical crossover band Sky with guitarist john williams. john williams was once married to sue cook.
more fascinating stories some other time.
September 29, 2008 at 12:06 pm
herbie flowers. didn’t he do the easy listening version of ‘wonderwall’?
*smiles smugly’
September 29, 2008 at 12:09 pm
no, that was the mike samms singers or something I think. herbie flowers is a session bass player.
September 29, 2008 at 12:10 pm
I went to see Shakespeare’s Sister live and got a great view up Siobhan Fahey’s skirt. Dave Stewart came on unannounced at the end, and it was the least impressive surprise guest I’ve ever witnessed.
September 29, 2008 at 12:21 pm
napoleon: i can imagine that shakespeare’s sister were a great live band. they’ve got this “e street vibe” surrounding them. let’s, kinda, rawk.
September 29, 2008 at 12:24 pm
All I can remember of the band was looking up her skirt and that idiot Dave Stewart coming on at the end. I went to see ‘em with Swineshead’s big brother, so any memory I could have kept of ‘em was completely erased by booze after the show.
September 29, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Was this the elder brother?
If so you were probably pissed before you set off.
September 29, 2008 at 12:27 pm
I was pissed just by coming into contact with your older brother. He was a bad influence, that boy.
September 29, 2008 at 12:31 pm
He’s dried up a bit recently… not quite as boozy as he used to be, by all accounts.
September 29, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Well I suppose he’d be dead if he’d carried on drinking the way he used to.
I had a rotten Italian meal last night. The menu said the pasta dish I’d ordered contained strips of fillet steak, but when it turned up it was braising steak. Robbing Italian bastards. No wonder they lost the war.
September 29, 2008 at 12:37 pm
I’ll wager that NC would’ve been the one that forced booze on your brother SH.
When I met the blaggard, when he wasn’t starting fights, he was forcing booze on us like it was the day following the end of prohibition.
September 29, 2008 at 12:39 pm
NC – how on earth could you tell whether your were staring at dave stewarts face or his wife fanny?
the sunglasses is probably all that can tell the two apart.
September 29, 2008 at 12:39 pm
You clearly never knew Swineshead’s brother in his glory days, Piqued. The man could drink for England back then.
And that’s crap wot you’ve just writted. The first thing you did when you turned up was start guzzling drink like it was going out of fashion. Don’t listen to this man, readers, his broken spine is clouding his memory.
September 29, 2008 at 12:42 pm
Mingles – It was the sunglasses, like you say.
(Younger readers who don’t understand what Mingles and I mean by not telling the two apart should take note that vaginas in the olden days were smothered in a material called ‘pubic hair’.)
September 29, 2008 at 12:44 pm
I think you’ll find you were already pint-in-hand when I showed, sir. Quite pissed to boot.
When I arrived I was whistle clean, within seconds of the first ‘hello’ you were throwing drink about the place like Oliver Reed.
September 29, 2008 at 12:47 pm
Balls! I was drinking a bottle of Corona. It was you that waded in with the pints, you fat, bald liar. By the time it came to recording that podcast, you were so drunk it was like having Peter O’Toole in my hotel room.
September 29, 2008 at 12:49 pm
I’d barely consumed a pint; by the time we settled you’d amassed a veritable slagheap of tiny limes segments, you animal.
September 29, 2008 at 12:52 pm
You lying git. I’d had one fucking bottle before you hobbled up the road in your wig and knock-off pumps. You drank so much in the space of half an hour, you could barely walk to the hotel. Not that you can walk anyway, you crippled old fucker.
September 29, 2008 at 12:54 pm
Shhhh, calm down please
There’s no need for that
Look, you wanna talk about the drink issue? Hey, I’m here…
September 29, 2008 at 12:58 pm
I was shaking from too much sugar. Had something of a bad trip that day what with all the caffeine…
*feels left out*
September 29, 2008 at 1:00 pm
I see the muslims are kicking off again. Is there some special Muslim Offence Council that spends its days hunting the world for supposed slights against its precious prophet? They need to go down the C of E line – jumble sales, not jihads.
September 29, 2008 at 1:01 pm
That’d be a good idea for your next comic strip, Perry.
September 29, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I’m writing one called ‘Mullah Kintyre’, as it ‘appens. I reckon I’ve a 0.0002% of getting it published.
September 29, 2008 at 1:04 pm
can I suggest ‘mustapha carboot sale’ as your main character
September 29, 2008 at 1:04 pm
What’re those crazy muslim extremists up to this time?
September 29, 2008 at 1:06 pm
That’s quite genius actually. I was going to suggest something about Cat Stevens being all hilarious and a Muslim convert…
September 29, 2008 at 1:07 pm
Someone’s DARED to write a biography of Mohammed’s wife, apparently. This, as any good muslim will tell you, is an absolute OUTRAGE and the author of the book they’e offended by (but haven’t read, o’course) must die for their crimes against Islam.
Blah, blah, blah …
September 29, 2008 at 1:08 pm
Someone’s DARED to write a biography of Mohammed’s wife, apparently
Has it got any tits in it? If not, I’m not interested.
September 29, 2008 at 1:09 pm
‘crazy Muslim extremists’
Well-said SH. Let’s make it clear that the vast majority of Muslims are decent law abiding types, it’s just the extreme ones that are a bit, well, off.
September 29, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Again, not all Muslims will feel this way, just the extreme fellows that are a bit, well, reactionary.
September 29, 2008 at 1:13 pm
Soemone said it’s a bit of a Mills ‘n’ Boon style job. Violent epileptic with no sense of humour marries nine year old girl, girl grows up to be successful in her own right … y’know, the usual. I can see why the muslims are offended. How dare this author (a woman, no less) mention – in print! – that Mohammed had a wife! String her up! Burn the American flag! Bang on about Palestine again! Etc!
September 29, 2008 at 1:13 pm
And, it must be said, when making comments about Mohammeds tits we’re also offending the decent Muslims as well – and it’s Ramadam (sp).
September 29, 2008 at 1:18 pm
If we all had the manners to listen to John Lennon 30 years or so ago, this mess we’re in now could have been avoided.
September 29, 2008 at 1:18 pm
I read in the paper at the weekend that sheik omar bakri mohammed’s daughter is working as a pole dancer. fucking hilarous. maybe god does have a sense of humour after all.
September 29, 2008 at 1:20 pm
“If we all had the manners to listen to John Lennon 30 years or so ago, this mess we’re in now could have been avoided.”
And if John had practiced what he preached, we wouldn’t have found his risible little ‘Imagine’ song so fucking laughable, George.
September 29, 2008 at 1:21 pm
I read about that, Mingles. Hasn’t the ranting misery guts inadvertedly paid for her boob job?
September 29, 2008 at 1:23 pm
‘And if John had practiced what he preached, we wouldn’t have found his risible little ‘Imagine’ song so fucking laughable, George.’
Ahem! He laid in bed for ages for peace! What more could he have possibly done?
September 29, 2008 at 1:26 pm
Hmmm. The second bed-in took place in 1969, the Vietnam War ended in 1975. Don’t know what difference the lazy bastard made, to be honest.

To be fair though, that Buddhist monk set himself on fire in front of all those cameras and that did sweet FA.
Better to light a candle then to curse the darkness, ay?
September 29, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Fuck that, George. Better to arm y’self to the teeth with guns, bombs, planes, tanks and servicemen’ and get in there with all guns blazing. Fuck sitting in bed for two weeks – Lennon and his screeching wife should have fixed bayonets and had at the Vietnamese with Great British fury. The jackbooted, sausage-guzzling swines.
September 29, 2008 at 1:45 pm
Let’s not compare a scouse blues imitator with self-sacrificing Buddhist monks. I don’t care how surburban you are, that’s never going to be the same thing.
September 29, 2008 at 1:47 pm
Back to Girls Aloud – I would bend that Cheryl over my knee and spank her for being a racist. “Naughty, naughty racist Cheryl,” I’d say. “Don’t you go attacking black ladies in toilets anymore, Cheryl, you filthy, naughty, DIRTY, dirty girl.”
Then I’d give ‘er one on behalf of the Anti-Nazi League.
September 29, 2008 at 2:06 pm
NC: ‘Hasn’t the ranting misery guts inadvertedly paid for her boob job?’
I never got that far Im afraid. I was too busy laughing and wanking self-righteously.
September 29, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Dave: I was comparing the effect they had on the ‘Nam.
IE: None.
September 29, 2008 at 2:09 pm

I’ll teach you how spell your name you mad filthy illiterate ozzy hoor.
September 29, 2008 at 2:09 pm
*minogue
September 29, 2008 at 2:12 pm
I could be wrong, Mingles. It would be good if he had, mind. I don’t know what muslim fundamentalists feel about fake tits, but I’m prepared to guess they’re not big fans. Mind you, if they’re anything like Catholic priests, they’ll thunder against such naughtiness in public, then wank ‘emselves half to death in the privacy of their own homes. Religious types are a bunch of hypocritical shithouses.
September 29, 2008 at 2:14 pm
I’d discipline Cheryl more than I would Daniiiiiiiiiii. As far as I know, the other Minogue sister hasn’t attacked any black toilet attendants … or has she?
If she has, I’ll smack ‘er arse black and blue. Then spunk on it.
September 29, 2008 at 2:16 pm
George – My apologies but I don’t like Lennon much. He used the ‘N Word’ in one of his songs which makes him a racist.
September 29, 2008 at 2:17 pm
Mingles rampant desperation has infiltrated the blog again, I notice. Can you try and keep your minds off your loins please?
This sobering offering from that Sheik you mentioned ought to help:

September 29, 2008 at 2:19 pm
NC – you old romantic you. theres no arguing that cheryl’s very very pretty and extremely cute. but minogue is much sexier on x factor.
I can never imagine cheryl keeping the same knickers all day, never mind not changing them for a week like wot dannii obviously does.
I suspect SH will bet intervening here soon, to stop all this filth.
I am turning into (to coin a phrase) a darkwank, so must now leave the building.
September 29, 2008 at 2:19 pm
That photo should come with a health warning, Swineshead. ‘BEWARE: This photo is too darned HOT for young ‘uns or muslim fundamentalists to look at.’
September 29, 2008 at 2:20 pm
sorry SH. Its that MILF I mentioned to you before. on the other line.
September 29, 2008 at 2:20 pm
I could be wrong, but I think I found a pair of Cheryl’s knickers in a skip in Barnsley. The girl’s a racist disgrace.
September 29, 2008 at 2:23 pm
a disgracist.
NC – I recognise the euphoria of a man who had just succesfully completed a difficult piece of work and is celebrating by talking about dirty girls. its the only way.
magnifique sir.
September 29, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I put up a link to this photo on Clair’s site t’other week. I don’t think enough people basked in its magnificence, so I’m posting it here too.
September 29, 2008 at 2:24 pm
Dave: I’ve got no opinion on him much. I like The Beatles, that’s about it. His solo stuff isn’t as good.
September 29, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I’ve just finished a silly picture, if that’s what you mean, Mingles. Much more important is the vast and incredibly unfair set of rules and regulations I’ve had to devise for my new game.
September 29, 2008 at 2:25 pm
that photo is fucking excellent. it may even have reduced my erection. superb sir.
September 29, 2008 at 2:25 pm
Cheryl Cole is renowned for making her knickers last for days on end.
I heard word (about the bird) that on day one she wears them box fresh, then back to front on day two, then inside out, then inside out the other way, then upside down, then round about, then woah-oo, the okey cokey – (knees bent, arms stretched – raa raa raa).
September 29, 2008 at 2:26 pm
That’s a great photo, NC.
September 29, 2008 at 2:28 pm
That’s the only way to wear underwear, Swineshead. I would also recommend my method when it comes to socks:
Day 1: Wear fresh socks.
Day 2: Wear same socks.
Day 3: Wear same socks.
Day 4 : Wear same socks.
Day 5: Wear same socks.
Day 6: Spunk into socks, then put them behind sofa.
Day 18: Forget you’d spunked into socks, wear same socks.
September 29, 2008 at 2:29 pm
It’s a cracker, isn’t it? Who’d have thought to dress up a dog as another dog? Hats off to the man (and let’s face it, it will have been a man) who came up with that idea.

It’s dressed as a bunny, isn’t it?

I sometimes use my socks to do the dusting.
September 29, 2008 at 2:31 pm
No. It’s a poodle.
September 29, 2008 at 2:33 pm
Dave – Socks are quite versatile, AND self-cleaning. I spilt a cuppa on the coffee table last week, used one of my socks to mop up the spill, stuffed said sock under the sofa, then fished it out and wore it yesterday. Saving the environment, that’s what I was doing.

I’d worn the same sock three days on a trot this weekend. Went to a mates far too swanky apartment, got my nylon soul sacks out and everyone said they could smell cannabis. It wasn’t cannabis it was my stinky pair of socks – freshend with the latest Lynx thingy.
One lass started smelling her pc speakers and declared it was that. It was me and my socks.
September 29, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Well done, Dave. I was at the cinema in August, and people started moaning about an ungodly stench. Little did they know it was my boots – contaminated by socks I’d worn over and over again for weeks on end. That’ll teach ‘em to go to the cinema when I’m there. In my smelly boots.

theyre certainly better than cillit bang NC. I buoght the stuff after the advert and its rubbish. couldnt clean the steam off my shite.
September 29, 2008 at 2:45 pm
I was beguiled by that stuff too, Mingles. I found it was alright at cleaning sinks, but totally inappropriate to use when cleaning semen off of the missus’s knockers.
That’s one hospital trip I’m not likely to forget in a hurry …
September 29, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Just to clarify: Its only sexy when the dirtiness applies to a sexy young womans knickers. not old mens grumble-encrusted black nylon wanking socks.
I wear clean socks every day. As I am an adult and a professional – and not a Darkwank.
September 29, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Sarsons malt vinegar will do what cillit does and more (go on chips). Just mix a squeeze of lemon and some hot water with it and get that sock dipped good.
September 29, 2008 at 2:50 pm
I like vinegar on chips. The problem is, you end up with a pool of vinegar at the bottom wetting your chips, whereas the salt only penetrates the top layer. Scientists need to focus on this problem instead of knocking particles into one another in an attempt to destroy the Earth.

I don’t even change clothes if I soil myself in a drunken stupor.
September 29, 2008 at 2:51 pm
nice to see the 70’s term ‘knockers’ making a much-needed comeback NC.
Most girls have tits, but some women have what can only be described as knockers. you can almost hear the ba-yoooooing noise as you look at them.
I used to work with a girl called brenda who had a pair straight out of a carry on film – arent they always called brenda, girls with yer actual bone fido knockers?
September 29, 2008 at 2:55 pm
70s knockers? They seem to have disappeared, Mingles. Gone the way of bosoms, alas, alas.
September 29, 2008 at 3:02 pm
“Bristols” has also departed…..
September 29, 2008 at 3:03 pm
And Norks. Alas, poor Norks.
September 29, 2008 at 3:05 pm
My local paper anounced the arrival of “Corkney Rebel” Jim Racistson at our local theatre. He’s peddling some of his “comedy” dahn sarf.

‘Cherry Bakewells’, ‘Bazookas’, ‘Titty Westingtons’.
September 29, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Maybe not, Nick. Only the other day I commented that a young lady that walked past me wearing hot pants and a very revealing top had ‘a lovely set of bristols’. This remark earned me a smack on the arm, as I’d absent-mindedly addressed it to my ill-tempered other half.
September 29, 2008 at 3:22 pm
jugs and bazongas have also alas, been put to sleep, alongside the hairy nether region – which I for one, miss greatly.
All the girls in the porno mags Iread when I was 9 had hairy ones and I was so looking forward to getting my grubby little paws on one when I reached the age of maturity.
Well, not maturity, but 16. they were arojd for a while, but alas, no more.
girls, if youre secretly reading this and taking notes from us charming, intelligent alphamales here at WWM on how to be a real woman, take note:
your man, if hes enough of a man, will love it if you stop shaving you bits. if he doesnt, hes a nancy boy and secretly likes it up the shitter. not that theres anything wrong with that. more left over for the lkes of us.

September 29, 2008 at 3:27 pm
It’s all gone a bit locker-room in here today.
Look at you all – sitting around in your grubby towels.
I’ve been at home sniffing glue.
September 29, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Not sure I agree with you on this one, Mingles. The hair removal fascism that’s taken over many a lady’s underpart has certainly made – ahem – oral sex a damn sight easier for a start. You used to need the navigation skills of David Livingstone to root through all that undergrowth. Now they’ve whipped it all off, you can get straight down to business without half an hour’s worth of fruitless foraging. And you don’t get hairs stuck in your damned teeth or at the back of your throat like you used to do. You need to move with the times, grandad.

““Back in secondary school all the fuss was about Sex in the City.” it’s a -brilliant- quote from the friday’s blogpost. i don’t know why but i kind of like it, in a sort of catchphrasey way. i wonder to school the tombstone went to… in my secondary school all the fuss was about mongolia, pythagoras and world war II.”
I went to a normal secondary school, in the 90s. I’m young and rather stupid, it’s a well known fact on here. I’m so stupid I don’t actually know if you’re taking the piss or not. I’m going to assume you are.
September 29, 2008 at 3:29 pm
NC/SH: I know. I need to get a girfriend. Bit backed up
September 29, 2008 at 3:31 pm
He’s not taking the piss Tombstone. He’s saying that culturally and in terms of age, your statement is sort of alien to him (he’s a Swede who’s older than you). Despite that, he likes the way the sentence sounds.
It’s not too hard to work out, is it?
September 29, 2008 at 3:32 pm
On a different subject, we’ve got some half-arsed comedy festival going on up here next month. I was looking at the brochure, and was amused to see that all the positive reviews for that ponderous, right-on cunt Mark Steel came from The Guardian. How fucking predictable.
September 29, 2008 at 3:33 pm
He’s bearable Mark Steel. But a bit much, for my liking. Comedy should make you chuckle, not sneer. At least, not too much sneering. Sneering never did anyone any good, apart from restaurant critics who get paid to sneer in print. The utter bastards.
September 29, 2008 at 3:35 pm
the worst are tv critics. I hate those bast ….
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
September 29, 2008 at 3:38 pm
My mate had to help his boss prepare for a food critic once upon a moon at a very posh central Manchester place. They waited a week for the article and when it came out the fucker was spewing on about the latest Doctor Who series instead. I’d love a job in which you get to eat free posh food then write about Doctor Who for no seeming reason at all.
September 29, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Can’t abide the bugger. All he ever seems to do is hijack any point anyone’s made, and bring it round to the Iraq War or what-have-you. He’s the only comedian I can think of who doesn’t appear to have a sense of humour.
Restaurant critics mean nothing to me. I don’t think I’ve ever read a restaurant review, as they seem completely and utterly pointless.
September 29, 2008 at 3:38 pm
Can we coin a new term?
“Credit Jamboree”
All this crunch business just makes me think of biscuits.
“The downturn in the ‘conomy is due to the credit jamboree”
September 29, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Does one have posh in Manchester?
September 29, 2008 at 3:40 pm
Swineshead, you know me, I find VERY simple things hard to work out. I’m glad he liked it though.
September 29, 2008 at 3:44 pm
‘Does one have posh in Manchester?’
What is this – 1972?
September 29, 2008 at 3:45 pm
And has anyone else noticed how skinny the pidgeons are in Manchester compared to anyone else?
September 29, 2008 at 3:46 pm
I saw some pretty skinny pigeons in Norwich, if that ‘elps.
They’re all backwards there, all of ‘em.
September 29, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Yeah, pigeons tend to be fatterer than your average person I find.
September 29, 2008 at 3:48 pm
You mean it’s NOT 1972?
*hides knockers*
September 29, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Woops, meant anywhere.
September 29, 2008 at 3:49 pm
You should see the ones in Coventry, huge they are. They struggle to fly, just walk around panting and looking forlorn.
September 29, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Is it me or has this comments section gone all nonsensical?

“I like vinegar on chips. The problem is, you end up with a pool of vinegar at the bottom wetting your chips, whereas the salt only penetrates the top layer. Scientists need to focus on this problem instead of knocking particles into one another in an attempt to destroy the Earth.”
NC – I too have this problem. The best solution I have found is to apply the salt to the chips first then the vinegar, which washes the salt down through the chip strata.
Good luck to you sir.
September 29, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I don’t they were that bad considering it was live, quite brave for people who are used to the studio cleaning everything up. Still pretty shit for girls who sell loads of records though.
I like the vinegar at the bottom, you can dip the last chips and they’re all well vingary and shit.
