Who's excited for the G1? Anyone got any picks to share? I'm thinking Ibushi takes the thing, beating Goto in the final.

Surprised he's even trying to get off in this trial, he hasn't got a leg to stand on.

No, didn't have time, actually. We just walked around and visited pubs. Ate at Gaucho's. Spent time on Old Trafford and pubs nearby. I really enjoyed it. Both being with my brother for once and seeing Manchester. I haven't been in England since I was a small kid. And Old Trafford was awesome. Never been to a big stadium before. The banter between the United fans and the Aston Villa fans was hilarious. Great atmosphere. I will have to set aside time and money for more trips like that.

Manchester is a beautiful place. Sportcity is also worth a quick trip. There isn't admittedly a great deal there, but Man City's ground is there, and it's impressive.

An afternoon at Heaton Park is one of the nicest things you can do on a nice day, it's vast and expansive and utterly picturesque. There's a huge rock with a plaque on it dedicated to when the Pope gave a sermon in the '80s. There's also a really huge, beautifully built archway, a great lake that it lovely to walk round, and a big country house, surrounded by fields and paths.

The Trafford Center is a stunning shopping mall, and the food court is kitted out to look like a ship's deck, and it is quite amazing. The Manchester Aquarium is also located in the mall, and you have to go on a long walk through the beautifully architectured mall before getting outside to an almost coliseum-like courtyard, and it's got a really beautiful fountain.

The Arndale is also a great mall in Piccadilly, and has a really diverse, cheap food court, as well as your regular high street brands.

Though known for its gay scene, Canal Street does have nice, 'hetero-friendly' (as the barman told me ) bars, and yes, you guessed it, it's along a canal, which is nice.

The Lowry Center is a nice bar and coffee house, and it also has a venue inside for plays, musicals, and the occasional gig, as well as a space for exhibitions. The whole center is a tribute to L.S. Lowry's work, and it's very poignant towards the areas within Manchester. Nearby is another, smaller shopping mall, the Imperial War Museum, and Salford Quays, which on a nice day, is beautiful. It's also nice to walk along at night, provided it isn't too windy!

I'll dig out some pictures later and post them here for you.

you guys are talking about sexual activity aren't you

Does her being a celebrity make you less of a cunt for joking about the death of a 25 year old mother of two?

Was merely a topical observation, not poking fun here.

Unrelated, but this is one of Peaches' crowning glories:

As if her Dad needs another reason to not like Mondays.

I hate you.

i like to rock some pathetic chest hair and a disappointed expression

Currently living on the border between Ealing and Hounslow, so basically Brentford. It's a shithole. I love it.

Fuck me, Black Sabbath.

'Hey, some guys on this forum I'm on said some rape jokes that I thought were good, do you wanna hear them?'

No matter how much I try, I cannot seem to grow an facial fuzz that seems worthy of the name of 'beard'. It's effectively bumfluff. I'm told that the more often I shave, the quicker, and thicker, it will grow back. Is this legit?

Given that beard-growing is effectively just the act of letting time pass, I'm still surprisingly bad at it.

wehre is thomasmaedows these dyas

Finally googled your username, and I now remember it's a Ghostbusters quote. For the 8 years I've been here, I've been thinking that you're weird.

Happy Forumthday.

I tweeted Nick Cave this question once and he told me that he loved me.

You don't mess with a duck

Really, what's your problem? You seem to always post a sarcastic comment to my posts.

NOW YOU KNOW MY PAIN.

As a promising young music journalist, I often find myself at odds with myself as to what to ask people. Yes, I suppose I should ask about their new album, as that's why I've got them here. Yes, I should ask how they are, as that's polite, though seldom do I care. But one of the most pressing, concerning, relevant, game-changing, and downright important questions I can ask someone, anyone, is:

Would you rather be attacked by 50 duck-sized horses, or 1 horse-sized duck?

Some background info:

You have no knowledge of how or why these mis-sized animals are here.

You have no weapons, only your wit, brute strength, and perhaps a cunning knowledge of Guns 'N' Roses bootlegs from 1992.

There is no time limit.

There is no cash prize.

PETA and other animal rights groups are banned from interfering, so indeed, have at it.

And failure to defeat your opponent will ultimately result in a very painful and gruesome death for your unfortunate self.

Oh, and give me your reasoning. The more inventive, the better.

Happy New Year everyone.

It's not currently New Years Day in America. I've been to America. Twice. Therefore, I'm counting myself as eligible to enter this.

That, to me, looks like the drummer out of The Maccabees.

Bloody good band, them.

Seen them 3 times this week alone, 4 in total, met them last night and they were proper nice. Their debut came out Monday, is out in March in the U.S.

They're amazing, sure to be massive, too.

Got my ticket for the Friday, BUZZING.

Crescent are a British indie rock 'n' roll band armed with a collection of stadium-sized anthems destined for the charts. Their ambitions are to get guitar music properly back on the radio, wake up a nation, and to define and inspire an entire generation of fans.
