I like them. Only started listening to them few months back. Just about the only non-metal I listen to.

I saw them at Download a few years back and was hugely disappointed. For such an all star line up they sure did suck.

You had it 4 years early?!? How did you manage that, it wasn't realised officially until 2009!
Well that sucks, maybe they just couldn't be arsed, they sound pretty tight from what I've heard (on YouTube :/ ). But yeah, supergroups often turn out to be worth less than the sum of their parts. It's easy to get hyped up for disappointment.
I thought it was a decent record though. Didn't blow my socks off, and it kind of sounded like a load of QOTSA b-sides, but still pretty good.
I was gonna do this. But my confidence won't let me. So I went with Tabasco because it's great.

I'd take mine down but I think Lil Evy is in there somewhere. Everytime I go near it I hear an inhuman hissing.

My old boss requested that I rejoin the company and so I have an interview in Oxford on Monday! So hyped to be going back there. Getting work back there would be awesome.
Can't contain how happy I am about that!

Best super group ever is Me First and the Gimme Gimmes without a doubt.
I took the tree down last night. Sad times.
Congrats bob!

In similarly good news I found out that I might be getting promoted at the end of the FY. I will be able to lord it about like a boss. Because I will be a boss. Duff man says oh yeah.

Sounds like my old office. Every day for 8 years. Utter cunts.
I couldn't do it everyday but every now and then I feel in a bit of an 80s mood. Today is one of those days. I will make up for it tomorrow by listening to death metal.

Haven't taken the tree down yet as we only got back home on Saturday, spent Sunday unpacking and generally feeling monged, had a 4 hour interviewathon on Monday, came back to the office on Tuesday and then built the solid wood bed for my daughter during that evening, left the office late last night, will leave late tonight after speaking to some recruiter fud and have found out that my Back to the Future lego has arrived at home.
So, maybe Saturday. After the shopping and recycling of the Christmas cardboard.

Congrats to you too sploat!
This was the only bit that stood out here for me. Please post pics.
I'd rather listen to 80's stuff than having to listen to Radio 1 which I have to do at work. God knows what Ellie Goulding saw in Greg James. That going home song makes me want to punch the radio. And having to listen to Nick Grimshaw namedropping Harry Styles every 2 minutes is tragic.
Only just saw this post, but I would do anything to back to that first year, not just so I can spend every waking moment with my little girl but so I can actually stop myself fucking up and losing my little family thing. I wake up every day regretting that shit and I know a lot of you will come forward and say to stop regretting it as there's no point but it ain't easy to forget something like that.
I hate myself for walking out

OK, I want that DeLorean. That is some sexy shit.
Congrats Sploat and Bob, nice work.
My parents' was quite spiffy though, so I got my fill.
It's like a big Fat Wreck Reunion or something, glorious stuff. I remember my NOFX fanboy pal was pretty much doing backflips when he heard about it.
But you're only saying that because you haven't seen McBusted yet.

No tree this year, never left the box. Bonus.

I actually can't listen to Pet Shop Boys, I come out in a rash. Neil Tenant had to be taking the piss with that paper thin, pathetic sounding voice of his. Urgh, one of the few bands I'm vitriolic in my hatred for.

So I've had a pretty mental day at work. Got it all sorted, slumped in my office chair. Hit random on the iPod. This comes on:
...that's one more day we made it through...
ahhh, I love Jonah
fakedit: no sooner do I write this than the track changes and this comes on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Cqn6lOL83c
It's like my iPod is trying to say "Hey man don't worry about it. You sorted shit. Now chill,"
I think I'd rather the 80s stuff
see you say that, but try listening to a local radio station that focuses on 80s music and modern pop. For eight fucking years. But only the really really popular stuff. So you will hear Spandau Ballet 3 times a day. And Phil Collins. And Katy Perry maybe 6.
I sincerely think there were entire years where I was just a hair's breadth from a full on pissing shitting crying breakdown, and the constant inane radio was a massive part of that. I really resent those selfish people for putting me through that. "Oh, we know that this music is really stressing you out but we don't like it when it's quiet"
Got my own office now. This just came on the iPod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5LXNt5zctQ
aw yeaaaaaah

The best Pet Shop Boys song is Inner City Pressure by Flight of the Conchords. FACT

Aw, babes! I'm only kidding. They're fackin' awful...
...well, except when your doing doughnuts over hookers' faces in GTA.
It's business time.
Yeah after I wrote that I remember that the guy before used to blast out Radio 2 which was also awful most of the time since Ken Bruce loves Coldplay and I can't stand them. And I think they even played that god awful James Arthur song a lot as well. I wish Radio 2 wouldn't try and be trendy.

Radio is just bad. It's for people without imagination / taste / a record collection / the ability to discriminate between good and bad / souls

...or for people who have no access to an iPod/similar device. The poor, for instance.
Missed quite a lot of conversation it seems.
I've started listening to all the music that's been posted, so I can give opinions on that a little later. Re: Nirvana, Heart Shaped Box was their best IMO, such a good song. But to be honest my interest in music didn't really start until I was 17 where I started listening to Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Who, Led Zep, NIN, QOTSA amongst others.
Re: Subway, I only really go for Turkey Breast and Ham. Basic I know, but it satisfies me enough.
8bit I am incredibly jealous of that Lego BttF set. Big Lego fan plus BttF being one of my favourite films. I want that now.
Congrats Tash, always good to see someone break away from smoking.
On another note, sorry for the question but how I get involved in the BritGAF Whatsapp shenanigans again? I have to PM my number to someone here right?
And finally, I'll probably take a new real pic tomorrow and just stick with that.

Yeah local radio stations I can understand playing the same 40 songs over and over again but the BBC must have the rights to a ton of songs so don't get why they don't mix it up a bit more. If it wasn't for the adverts I'd just leave the radio on Classic FM.

As far as I'm aware they don't get much of a choice.

My wife sent me this earlier:
(The Minecraft set is for my son.)
Awesome. Definitely gonna get this to add to my ever growing collection of DeLoreans.
On the subject of Pet Shop Boys I've always liked them, It's a Sin and Suberbia being my favourite songs, hugely melodic with nice pop chord progressions on awesome 80's synths.
Sounds immense. Throw in a bit of Phil Collins, Huey Lewis and Haircut 100, and you have the perfect combination.

Pm him your number and he'll add you.
I only listen to Classic FM when I'm driving. Only thing that calms my road rage.
Huey Lewis and the News are da bomb. Stuck with you is going to be our first dance. If he ever asks me.
Random note: Fort Bragg is where the US Special Forces are based, the Green Beret's and supposedly Delta.

As you mentioned them:
Flight of the Conchords - Mutha'uckers
I still miss my Micro Machines DeLorean, it went down the bath plug hole at my aunties as a kid. I never got over it.
Grim.
And this is why I'm wary of women.
Hahaha! You are such a lesbophobe misogynist.
My new favourite phrase.
Thanks. It's really powerful.
