Gonna be really lame and say I don't particularly have a dream anymore, because it stopped me from actually living in the present. I stopped dreaming because I had to - which was really painful - but then I met the most amazing girl in the world and stopped caring about little things and I'm actually happy.

You do not know anything about Billie Joe Armstrong. You have only seen what he wants you to see. Do you really think Liam Gallagher is as stupid as he acts? No, course not. He has an IQ of 140. He says ridiculous things because he's "rock and roll". For all you know, it could be the same for Green Day. You need to let go a little bit and remember that he did act like a tool; you can't shout down anyone who disagrees with you.

This is a marriage that will work :P

Ohhh sorry, I'm encroaching on your territory here, it's all going a bit Jeremy Kyle :\ Sure you can! It's legal in our country now. :smug: Wait til you see how I leave the seat up though, and eat shitloads of angel delight without washing up the bowls. If my own girlfriend despairs I don't see why anyone else would wanna marry me. :P

Really? I've been to concerts with 70,000 people, let alone festivals :\

Irrelevant perhaps, but Dance Little Liar is probably my favourite song, ever. It's just wonderful. So dark, so poetic, the build-up before that explosive solo is perfect. It's hard to imagine that it's the same three lads (plus Nick) that sat on a wall in High Green and watched kids in town on a Friday night. Humbug is such a sweet maturity and Dance Little Liar is the perfect centrepiece.

Have you downloaded the program to write Gallifreyan, Doctor?

That's very kind of you, Molly. :) I am, however, engaged to Coldplay. (Which is something I never thought I'd say, but probably something a lot of people on here wish for.)

Does anyone else think this has got out of hand?

Let's do it, you gotta see what I'd write for a speech.

Yeah, but there's only half the tickets available as Coachella, because it's only over one weekend, and the system for ordering them is a complete lottery, so there's slim to no chance of getting any. Other than that, Reading and Leeds: Eminem and Biffy Clyro T In the Park: Rihanna, Killers and Mumfords Bestival: Snoop Dogg and Elton John :confused: Isle of Wight: Stone Roses, Killers and Bon Jovi And a big resounding "meh" all round for the rest of the line-ups.

Definitely, "Silence Will Fall" looks awesome.

I'll post it here, if anyone wants to move it, feel free. Noel Gallagher Vs Damon Albarn rap battle Noel: Today, is gonna be the day that you kiss my arse, bitch, Noel’s here to stay; you’re a cockney t wat Damon, no one likes Blur: I shit better songs from my High Flying Birds. I’m Lennon for a generation: one of the greats, me; I changed the fucking world with Definitely Maybe, so go and fool yourself: isn’t Parklife clever? ‘Cause only one of us will live forever. Damon: Oh yeah Noel, you’re such a musical don that you got your little brother to sing on all your songs, and you’ve written nothing decent since 1995: if you’re that rock and roll, how come you’re still alive? If Oasis were assessed, from Falling Down to Acquiesce, it would stress me and depress me that you never progressed, these songs that you’ve written, may be loved by Great Britain, but they’re all the same to me; you fucking mono-browed gibbon. Noel: All the same? Tell that to Kate Moss and Johnny Depp: the only friend you have makes cheese in a shed, you bent floppy-haired pikey; did you ever consider, that if we knew it was you, we’d never listen to Gorillaz? I’m the masterplan, you’re a charmless man, I’m a rock and roll star, you’re MOR: and my rhymes will spank yours til you’ve no distance left run, but I expect you’d like that, bet you take it up the Beetlebum. Damon: Oh move on you cock, it’s not the 90s anymore, I score hits this century, you’re had what, three? Four? I’ve explored some war-torn states for inspiration; you’re in a shit new band, whose tragic formation came about ‘cause you stormed out, held your fans at ransom over your brother throwing a motherfucking tantrum; I’m a professional Noel, you’re past you’re prime, and I’mma beat you in the battle of Britpop a second time.

Nice!

You should see the choice between festivals over here :/

Okay, did another one of Damon Albarn Vs Noel Gallagher. Do I post it here or a separate thread?

On top of this, if you're going to write a character with such a disorder, you have to firstly make it clear to the audience through their symptoms, but secondly, you have to show respect to people with it; try researching about the disorder, because if you're not careful, you can show your characters as caricatures or parodies of bi-polar people. Which wouldn't go down too well. I'm not having a go, or calling you disrespectful, but if you look at the character of Sherlock Holmes for example, everyone who has written him well has shown his signs of autism realistically. Research is a huge part of being a writer.

Little bit. God, they're rubbish though :dozey:

What would make him feel in any way like a back-stabber?

I think bullying's bullying, there shouldn't be "better" types. My sister was bullied by her own friends at school because she liked different music. They all listened to typical teenage girl stuff; Ed Sheeran, Rihanna, people who are considered cool by 4Music or whatever. She liked Coldplay, Radiohead and had a fanatical devotion to Alex Turner and Arctic Monkeys. She was bullied for it to the degree that she kept her Tumblr secret from all of her mates - even though she was really proud of it - and only talked about the things she was interested in with strangers online, and her family. That's just really sad, having to be a different person at school. Ultimately, there are people in this world who like to think that they have a superior opinion to everyone else, and there are people who don't have thick enough skin to be told that one of their passions in life is a pile of steaming horse shit, or whatever. I personally think any article that makes any attempt to stand up for the latter, is a good thing.

I wish :( My mate's seen Thom wandering around town before, though.

Aww thank you. :D I'm white, I study English and I live near Oxford, so no idea how.

It's cool! Bloom's alright, wouldn't go as far as top five Radiohead songs ever, top 20 even, but that's just my opinion.

Gangsta styleeee. Seriously, Anthony give it a go. I want to see this.
