Wall of Mouths

even as the eternal pessimist that i am, judging by the bits on the website and from what i’ve heard about the filmings i’m hoping that this will be good. i really hope so. i’ve been watching the documentary bits on the 1-8 dvds recently and what was lacking in 7,8 and BTE for me was the banter. they all seemed too story story story, joke. or joke joke joke, story. i think the overlying problem is that they need to do an arching story for each series now and then move on to the next one.

i gave up on this after the first 2 episodes. it was shockingly bad. the annoying thing is that gervais can do really good comedy when he gets it right. or he could do anyway. i’m surprised it’s got a 2nd series. the problem is that by “being” david brent all the time, which as already mentioned, he essentially is, he’s kind of shot himself in the foot. he seems like such an incredibly unlikeable person. although the christmas episodes of both the office and extras were brilliant.

honestly, hand on hearts here, had ANYBODY ever actually liked ricky gervais?

it’s my duty, my duty as a complete and utter bastard.

Sorry fella - kinda laughing at your misfortune - I don’t mean to be a dick.

You probably will tell this story in the not too distant future and see the funny side.

i have since been told by a spectator that this incident was “comedy gold”. and now, i kind of agree.

yep. i found out within seconds that she actually had. this is why i am going to hell.

well i am going to hell apparently. last night at a my chemical romance gig a friend of a friend was really enjoying everything and then they played a song she didn’t like. everything was going well up until this point. and then she said “oh i don’t like this song, i’ve seen it before and a little part of me died inside”. possibly referencing the song, i don’t know what it was. and me being the sarcastic fuck that i am said “oh, like a miscarriage”. it was around this point that the whole world ended. cue people dropped jawwed.

the moral of this story is. just don’t fucking bother.

was MCR tonight. sorry, i know i will get shot for that. but they were fucking great. that is all.

for drinkers who are financially strapped, the best way to stop smoking is just think “hmmm that packet of cigarettes could’ve bought me a couple of pints” it’s a fine line. i struggle with both. and have given up giving up. and i’ve never felt better. sorry.

i am clearly drunk right now but there is a fridge full of those dinky little beers in bottles that take ten seconds to drink downstairs. theres fucking hundreds of them. should i stay or should i go? x

white lies on friday
my chemical romance next weekend
suede in may
i only want to go to the last one

but to show my rock credentials i am doing download and sonisphere. do they count?

i love cats. but i can never eat a whole one.

saw the manics last night in brixton. they opened with slash n burn, so i was happy.

i just watched inception, for hours, and didn’t understand a fucking thing.

he is not a tramp at all. he pays the bills, to be fair he has been there for me for the last decade. he is one of my closest friends. but still, i am the in between man. and i don’t fucking like it. i can’t simply run away. i couldn’t leave either with the inevitable shitstorm

so. a serious one here. for the last year myself and two other friends have been sharing a house. but the last six months the other two chaps have not been getting on very well. silly little things like leaving dirty dishes about (one is a clean freak and one is, essentially a tramp) or what not. and me, being the humble gobetween has had to endure this. and to be fair, i’m a bit fed up with it. to the point where i’m wanting to leave. suggestions?

yay! thanks. 29 eh? how the fuck did that happen?

shit. that’s awful. so sorry about that caffeinebomb. it makes my comment about the postman never delivering things to the right house seem inappropriate. hope you are well sir.

she must be desperate, even i got it.

can someone shoot that fucking dog next door. or at least make it stop barking ALL THE TIME.

i got the bollocking that i deserved yesterday. i am still a scumbag though. i have decided this.

Welcome to my world. Just roll with it and put it behind you :)

i tried that. but i really made a massive fuck up. it’s nowt bad but did a thing that i shouldn’t have and now someone who i love will hate me. and i have been killing myself by getting drunk since. i could not manage it anymore. so where do i go now??? my usual response is to get pissed. but that is, well i’m there now, i hate drinking. it creates all of my problems. boo hiss boo. xx

oh dear. i made a tit of myself yesterday. i haven’t done that for a long time. just when i think everything is okay aswell.

right i’m off to kick the shit out of myself. i deserve it.

a very handsome chap had this to say http://www.repeatfanzine.co.uk/Rants/rage%20against%20Christmas.htm

that’ll be me. ahem.

i must admit, some of your threads are a bit odd. but hey ho, it’s a messageboard innit. i’m also confused though, was it deliberate? happy new year anyway.

merry christmas all, have a good one. x

clearly i am drunk. i apologise to all about my terrible spelling and punctuation. *hickup* ;)

That was the gig i was at.. i thought DM was excellent best gig i have seen this year. I was jet lagged to fuck but worth it!

i agree very much sir. i was impressed with muse earlier this year (for me a big gig needs to have a certain amount of video etc and just not a bunch of people on a stage) but DM were far more impressive. i have a couple of highlight (“Home” and “Walking In My Shoes”) up on youtuve if you want to spy it again. i am astoryontheradio. i believe i am the first hit if you put in depeche mode london o2, then either of those songs.

well, they only went and bloody did it didn’t they. crikey.

depeche mode at london 02 last night. excellent stuff, very good setlist. first time i’ve seen ‘em and all. brilliant.

I saw the mighty mighty terrorvision last night in cambridge. as ever, it was brilliant. did an interview with tony aswell which i’ll put a link on here somewhere for when i get round to typing it up.
