Folks, I've jokingly threatened to compile a list of bands and places in the UK that are shite or shitholes, cos it's quite the list! Matt, c'mon, you KNOW you want to vent.... go to amazon.co.uk and do a list.... I think you have to be positive, so perhaps you could get away with "bands I'd like to *send* to a desert island...." ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 14:52:42 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: RE: seven-seas OT: What Are We Doing To Do With Our Lives? > I hope that was proper Shepherd's pie, and not minced beef > which is cottage pie.

Oh, I know what it means.... and the pun that's been spun only becomes too true. As to the pie.... OBVIOUSLY a shepherd would eat one of his charges :-P It wasn't called "cowboy pie" or anything.... I didn't *ASK* what it was and it didn't *SAY* and the real sacrilege was that they spiced it up pretty well -- it left a mouthwatering singe that was nicely remedied by SOMERSET cider ;-) Okay okay a bit of the bathroom wall writing: Graffiti artist #1: "F*** you Texas, you bunch of cow-f***ers."

Besides, tonight in Dallas is the last US date and then it's home; he might just be tired. The band played well, but just had no facial expression at all, no ..... *energy*. Mr Smith seemed at times to be draping himself over the microphone stand in a vain attempt to stay upright. No blazing shows of energy, that's for sure. Again, I didn't see the whole thing, so I'll wait for Will to (please dear God) chime in and correct where necessary. ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 15:06:57 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?RE=3A_seven-seas_OT=3A_=A0What_Are_We_Doing_To_D o__With_Ou?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?r_Lives=3F?= > One of *my* biggest pet hates (and there are culprits here > as well as everywhere else) is the use of "could of" or > "would of" instead of "could have" or "would have".... Matt, you and Stu oughtta (LOL) be on some sort of game show.... or competition.... or.... Between the two of you you could mop up the floor with any luckless contenders.... Pet hates are only pet loves in different clothes, you know. Instead of lauding those who use correct English, you slag those who don't. Glass half-full/glass half-empty, and you lot are definitely the type who wouldn't let a good pint stay *anything*-full! ;-) ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 15:08:03 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: RE: seven-seas Tragically hip.... > >Ha...and you THOUGHT you were hip! hahahaaa > >There goes that idea! hahahaaa According to the mournful "three score and ten rule" we'll all be thinking hip REPLACEMENT before we know it.... ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Jul 2003 15:10:33 -0500 From: "Amy Rupp" Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?RE=3A_seven-seas_OT=3A_=A0What_Are_We_Doing_To_D o__With_Ou?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?r_Lives=3F?= > Ah, but how can one even begin to compete with that > famous Scouse humour? ;-) Try harder! :-) > Anyway, I only said they were shite.

I think you >have to be positive, so perhaps you could get >away with "bands I'd like to *send* to a >desert island...." I have no desire to vent, and I certainly have no desire to do a list. I like what I like, and I dislike what I dislike. *I* know which bands or artists fit into each of those categories, and that is sufficient for me. Nor would I like to send any bands to desert island. Each to his or her own in life, and there are people I know who like the things I dislike, just as there are people who dislike what I like, so would it be fair of me to banish *their* favourite artists to a desert island? I no longer listen to day- time radio, so I don't have to put up with crap playlists, prefering instead to play CDs in my works van all the time, which gives me hours of pleasure, and offends no-one else.... Hmmmm.....considering I had no desire to vent..... ;-) Echo and the Bunnymen | the official website: http://www.bunnymen.com ___________________________________________________________ Get your own Web-based E-mail Service at http://www.zzn.com ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ End of seven-seas-digest V2 #557 ********************************
