Yes, it's the NME... :confused: But I've been getting their yearbook for the last couple of years now- I like having everything summed up the way they do, and it's the one time that it actually appears in stores around here. But this year I can't seem to find out anything about it. Does a 2007 yearbook even exist?

Goodness... :stunned: That is awful. Can't your landlord do anything about it or do they want to stay out of it all?

^^ so many pics. :stunned: Already thanked you there, but thanks again. :D Zarblatz Always sounded like him to me...

I did too... there and atease :confused: But I don't talk to anyone in those places, so I was a little batty by the end. It's good to be home *hugs board again* :dance:

^ The year the "British Invasion" reached it's zenith. Changed music itself forever, and was massive worldwide. Nothing since would be the same without it. And it's classic- still sounds amazing 40 years later. edit: case and point: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42752 So I don't think anything short of a brand new and massive genre could live up to that. But this is definitely going to be a peak year. And I'm excited. :cool:

Wow. Glad it worked out. Well, from anything I've heard tell of the place I can't blame you. There are millions of people who would like to try something like that, and very few who ever dare...

Freaky how that works, eh?

^ and getting greater. Just saw the first two s2 eps. The writing has really improved. And Spike as a time agent was a stroke of casting genius.

Yeah, they're airing it here starting the 31st. :dance: Alas, only half a season was written in time, so it's just sort of going to end abruptly until the stupid strike ends. :disappointed:

The best year ever, and probably for all-time happened somewhere around the mid to late 60s. But yes, British music has been going from strength to strength for 3 or 4 years now, and finally even the mainstream in the US is taking notice now that there's some pop in the mix. So I think it will just keep getting bigger this year, and hopefully better too. :dance:

^ :laugh3: Nothing like remembering how far they've come. Thanks. Hey, if you hurry we'll get it long before atease ever does...:sneaky: which would amuse me greatly.

:bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: What the hooey is going on? This isn't happening. #$^!#%$ I don't even know how to say what I'm thinking it won't make any sense right now. He used to be one of the smart ones before something happened to him a while back and he changed. I never thought it could go this far. Gah. :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: I remember when I used to watch him on Roar. Long before anyone had heard of him. Really dumb show, but I watched it anyway because of him. My very shortlived teenaged fangirl stage. Thought it was so cool when they started letting him make real movies. Now I wish they hadn't. :bigcry: :bigcry: :bigcry: This is not happening. :cry: God protect that daughter of his. Please.

Let's see... it's a "lifetime original series" and needed someone who had that job already. So... scraping the bottom of the barrel all around. :dozey: Stupid writers strike. *shakes fist*

Thanks for the info. Paranoia and the cold war. Top chessmen have a long history of being a little... off balance. I don't know if it's the type of personality that is attracted to the game, or how tightly wound they have to be to play it, but he's not the only one, just the most well known. From what some people who knew him are saying (though they won't say it in so many words... it is a bit rude :embarassed:) he may have been a bit of a paranoid schizophrenic, at least at the end. Well, whatever it was, it's really sad the way great minds have a way of tearing themselves apart. :confused::(

I'm too lazy for videos. :P How about a nice island instead. McNab's Island One of my favorite places on earth. Think of the smell of wild roses and sea salt. :nice:

^remember guys, if someone is annoying you or being a jerk, you can always set them to "ignore".

:laugh3: @ the title. Aw, I'm happy for them. Nice to see they're getting some attention over here. Thanks for the link. Took me forever to get into them, but I like what I've heard now.

28. Thought it was more than that for some reason...

Both Faultline songs- best vocals Chris has ever done. :cool:

:cry: My dad tried to turn me into some sort of a chess prodigy when I was little- about 3 or 4, I think. Never really worked. He was always telling me stories about Bobby Fischer's famous matches and how no one knew what happened to him. Sad to see a great mind gone, and a childhood enigma dispelled for good.

Brilliant chess master, world-class eccentric Bobby Fischer dies (CNN) -- Chess master Bobby Fischer, one of the greatest chess players in history, has died, a spokesman for the World Chess Federation confirmed to CNN Friday. He was 64. No cause of death was given. Fischer became the first American world chess champion when he defeated Boris Spassky of the Soviet Union in a legendary encounter during the Cold War in 1972. Former Russian chess champion Garry Kasparov said Fischer would be remembered as "the pioneer, some would say the founder, of professional chess" and called his death "very sad news." According to media reports in Iceland, Fischer died at a hospital in the capital, Reykjavik. He moved to Iceland after being granted citizenship in 2005. Fischer became almost as famous for his personality quirks and his renegade behavior as for his brilliance at chess. He learned to play as a child in Brooklyn, New York, and quickly became a prodigy. He was only 15 when he reached the level of grand master in August, 1958. His memorable and tumultuous defeat of Spassky in 21 games highlighted his eccentricity. He forfeited the second game of the contest after he refused to play on, complaining that the presence of cameras was distracting him. The match was then moved to a back room. Some suspected that Fischer's sometimes bizarre behavior throughout the match was intended to unnerve the highly disciplined Spassky. Fischer never defended his crown, refusing a 1975 match against Anatoly Karpov, another Soviet. The WCF awarded the title to Karpov and Fischer dropped from sight for nearly two decades. I n 1992, he resurfaced to play Spassky in a rematch in Belgrade, a move that defied U.S. sanctions against the former Yugoslavia. He won the chess match and the prize money of $3.5 million, but spent the next decade as a reclusive and somewhat mysterious figure who was regarded as a fugitive by American authorities. ....Fischer was arrested in 2004 at Narita Airport in Tokyo, Japan, for traveling on a U.S. passport that was revoked after the 1992 Belgrade match. Japan detained him for nine months while he fought deportation to the United States. In March 2005 Iceland invited Fischer to live there. Japan released him, and he promptly renounced his U.S. citizenship and became a citizen and resident of Iceland. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/01/18/fischer.obit/?iref=mpstoryview

Me. :P;) Thus the post about hobbies. Actually, I thought that was rather obvious :thinking: Oh well.

The biggest problem with the paps is that they seem to have the empathetic capacity of a thimble. And that's the nicest ones.

Heh... the Karen. Cool that he cares, weird way to show it. :wacko: :laugh3: Several people I'm close to work with Karen refugees. It's really, really awful what's been happening to them and no one notices. They're a wonderful group of people. :cry:
