Does anyone like this band? I am torn about them, some songs are good and stick to your mind and some others are a little too insipid and uninspired. They have a truly terrible name (what is it with all these bands and terrible names these days?) but they aren't to be discarded altogether. I particularly like 'Bear Fight' and the album ''Unbeast The Leash'' has some really good songs on it.

sounds too much like the microphones for me

If you close your eyes and think of yourself as being blind they have some decent songs.

I closed my eyes and spilt a can of coke over my desk. Cheers for that.

06.19.2008, 08:36 AM

That happened because you're not really feeling it, maaaan!

demonrail666 · 06.19.2008, 08:37 AM

Napkins! I need more napkins! 55p gone. Just like that!

06.19.2008, 08:39 AM

You pay only 55p for your napkins? You really embrace the workforce of third world countries, don't you?

demonrail666 · 06.19.2008, 08:40 AM

No that was the can of coke. the napkins came from Burger King the other day.

demonrail666 · 06.19.2008, 08:45 AM

An unrelated question about Burger King's pricing structure.

how, when a single cheeseburger costs £1.29, can they charge £2.79 for a double cheesburger? I asked this question of the person serving me the other day and they had no idea. We'd managed to establish that the only difference between the single and the double is the extra burger and slice and cheese, so effectively I'd be paying more for less. Needless to say I simply bought two single cheeseburgers. Small victories such as these really are what life's all about sometimes.

i'd tell you about my train ticket scam but i don't want the man to see my posts here

demonrail666 · 06.19.2008, 08:52 AM

does this involve the tube? If so I'm interested.

Toilet & Bowels · 06.19.2008, 08:54 AM

no, overground trains to and from london

demonrail666 · 06.19.2008, 08:58 AM

I'm about to get a return ticket to Cardiff in a few days. I'm intrigued!

Toilet & Bowels · 06.19.2008, 09:01 AM

it's only makes a difference if you take the train in a regular basis

demonrail666 · 06.19.2008, 09:03 AM

Cardiff, on a regular basis? I think NOT!

You ought to get caught 'cause that will vindicate all the law-abiding citizens who top up their oyster cards and pay their fare. You can't use oysters on the railways, can you?

Toilet & Bowels · 06.19.2008, 10:43 AM

you can at some stations, and i top up my oyster every week. anyway, even if i get caught it looks like i'm a normal transport user, i've found a loop hole and i'm exploiting it.

06.19.2008, 11:01 AM

Are you talking about the 5p ticket? I have seen people doing that.

Toilet & Bowels · 06.19.2008, 11:11 AM

no, if you have the 5p ticket then they make you pay the full fare when you get off, and those things can only be bought if the ticket office at a station is closed.
