“Medbh Cheasty of You’re Only Massive believes that, as long as female artists are marginalised, “we may as well claim the margins as a space, but men and women are not that different ultimately and I don’t think there is a need to separate them, just to level out the playing field.”

Glad that’s cleared that up then

Where did you get this quote? I wiki-ed Graham Hopkins and it wasn’t there.

Go to the “history” tab at the top and look at the version before the one that’s there now.

Maybe he didn’t pay that band cos they’re shit.

I went out to a fire and drinking session on the outskirts of Belfast for it, was pretty good, never really got properly dark

Sounds like my office

I missed last night’s.

Can anyone tell me what happened..?

There’s another 2 series to go!

Speaking of which… what’s happened to Butters? That’s the new mystery

You obviously didn’t see last night’s show then!!

;-)

Roskilde

Classic festival, great location… maybe not heavy enough for ye tho?

I think if the Irish people are asked to vote again on basically the same thing then the No vote will win by even more

“A gang of poncy little masturbators” - ouch.

i love coldplay, i just bought their new album, chris martin has more talent in his fingernails than the sex pistols have in their whole bodies,

sex pistols are a talentless band. yes they helped introduce the punk genre but thats it,

Mate, I wish you had a lastfm account on your profile so I could tell if you’re joking? You are joking, right? Tell me you are!! :-p

I’ve already watched more BB this year than last… it’s pretty good

Portugal 1-1 Germany (Germany win on pens)
Croatia 2-0 Turkey
Netherlands 2-2 Russia (Russia win on pens)
Spain 2-1 Italy (AET)

My major downfall recently was having Ronaldo as captain when Portugal had already qualified… he didn’t even play :’-(

Bet I wasn’t the only one

I think it was a great result. Especially as all the main parties were trying to bully people into voting “yes” when some of them haven’t even read the thing

^Hmm. I didn’t know Smog was in the soundtrack to that movie. I went to see Bill Callahan last year, it was a great show

I thought Dead Men’s Shoes was a better film than This Is England

Haven’t used it yet mate.

My fiancée (feels weird typing that!) saw Therapy? in Glasgow Barrowlands on the Shameless tour (before I knew her)… but I made her a mix CD last year and she never listened to it. Gah!

She’s yet to experience my metamorphisis into a complete gibbering rock nerd when Therapy? are playing in town either :-)

I got a replica Italy home top in Dublin on Saturday to get me in tournament mood… always had a slight leaning towards the Italians as well.

Made 2 transfers there, they don’t cost any points do they?

^As an accumulator I had Germany and Croatia to win yesterday and France to win tonight with Italy and Holland being a draw, so I hope you’re wrong :-)

Right, I’ll have a look at these transfers now then…

^You’re joint top Sam!

the transfers dont kick in until the knockout stage.
the number of players from each team goes up each round and the budget is 110 instead of 100
for the final your even allowed to have all 12 players from the one team

I was wondering how that was going to work - that sounds like a good idea they have. I’m fairly content so far - biggest downside is that my czech and croat players didn’t get on :-/ I had a fiver on Germany to win 2-0 last night though :-)

That’s a brilliant story mate… congrats! Keep us all updated!

Maybe Therapy? will make mention of the first WOMble baby on the sleeve of their new album… Sarah? :-)

No, I went in a big dirty gas guzzling… Smart Car :-s

The next gig I *want* to go to is Daniel Johnston and Friends in Dublin on 27th July… but it’s sold out already! ;-(

I actually got tickets for this after all :)

Off to see Radiohead in Dublin tomorrow…

I keep forgetting that this is a Therapy? message board :-s

Heroes

Well, I was surprised Dusty that one of the little stats that flashed up on the site said that only 50% of players have picked Ronaldo so you’re far from alone.

Not having him as captain for the domestic league this year was madness though. For example, I think it was Graeme on this site who didn’t make a single transfer all season but still finished 3rd or 4th cos he had him as captain the whole time

^As in Jonathan Yeah? (“He had the question mark added by depol”)

More free NIN stuff

I’m a big fan of Deerhunter… Crystal Castles and A Place to Bury Strangers are OK too… never heard of Does It Offend You, Yeah? Terrible name tho

^Don’t bother, they make it up as they go along :)
