blonde poker forum

Hello blondites
Just a quick virgin post to say hello and to thank tikay for introducing himself to me in the £50 notts tourney last night.  It was a pleasure!

I thouroughly enjoyed making the final again and to beat as many men as possible!!

Big congrats to Julian for wiping the floor with the remaining 2 out of 5 cypriots at the final table! Great win considering you were only left with the blinds at one stage!

I look forward to heads up wiht you next time!

Welcome.

Hope u enjoyed playing at the Gala.

I remember my first time down there. Loved it.

And thanks to Julian for sporting his shuffle up shirt at the event too. perhaps I should be sponsoring him for non ranking events. ;)
shirts to wear, not buy ins obviously

a pleasure to double you up chilli....i'll be more wary next time.
enjoyed the cypriot sandwich, a bit hairy once or twice, long live K-2!

happy to oblige adam, a lucky shirt is a welcome addition to my wardrobe ::)

Hi Chili, welcome to blonde. I have seen you many times at Gala Notts, but was too shy to come & chat to you.

Heaven help you when Red-Dog, Ironside, Colchester Kev & co discover you are one extremely handsome, early twenties, young Lady...... There will be creepy welcomes galore, I promise you......

And well played on making yet another Notts Final.

Hi there Chili, may I extend a very warm welcome to the forum, if there is anything you need.....

Or if you just want to talk....

Between us, I wouldnt bother too much with that Kev or Ironside......

or RED-DOG

Thanks in advance.

Ian

hello Chili, Welcome to the forum.... perhaps i should enlighten you with a few facts regarding Red Dog and Ironside...Firstly RED DOG IS MARRIED..and he has a tash !!!  Ironside is single but he does have an uncontrollable fetish for lap dancers, in fact his poker playing has only ever been a way of funding his seedy life style........ Me, well im single, genuine, honest, romantic,loyal and trustworthy.. dont let the fact that i look like a bulldog licking piss off a thistle put you off, beauty is only skin deep :)

Oh and before someone else tells you, i have a wonky eye too, but people with eye problems are more than able to live normal lives these days, I mean look at Tikay's hairdresser , she is BLIND !!

  ;D

love from Kev xxx

'beauty is only skin deep' well, Kev does have a lot of skin...

'Live a normal life' If Kev's life is normal it's god help the rest of us

Your special friend

Tom

Mind you, I almost fell for you myself with that spiel Kev

lol yeah, irresistable.

I know mate, I cant believe i am still single  :-\ ....... although please try and resist falling for me, i really hate having to go through the ....."Look you are a lovely person, and im sure that somewhere out there etc etc etc ...but i would like us to be friends"... speech ;)

HE WANTS ME!!!!!!!

Wow - thanks boys, what a welcome!!! Should have done this ages ago.

Red-dog - thankyou for your warnings about other posters and if i ever need anything i will be sure to ASK your advice on where i can get it!

Colchester Kev - Thanks for the warnings about a tash!! Not my favourite facial attachment! Dodgy eyes i dont mind!      Bull Dog??? Not pretty!     Romantic???  Dont think i have met a geniune romantic poker player! Very good at disguising real feelings you see!!  Why are you single?

Tikay - Great welcome and thanks for bigging me up (especially the age reference!!) Priceless. x
Oh and i like your hair, very brave  ;D

Ironside - Where are you?  Lapdancers eh? lol

hello chilli, i see i haven't been bokked yet ;D
welcome and feel free to ask me anything ::)

Didnt bother with you, not serious competition

ouch

Down boys Down... don't be scaring the Lady away... :D

Only kidding, you know I'm yours

Hey... I don't mind sharing....

Cheers nun but i dont get scared that easily!  :-*

I do

Chili, I am very romantic, so much so that whenever i get dealt any 2 suited hearts, i fall in love with them and cant put them down ;)

Any way, ask anyone on here and they will tell you that im not a poker player... I just think i am :)

The single bit  ? ....... Long story, I might get round to putting my Biog up one day ;)


And as for you Mrs Nun  :o  im off to ring the News of the world ...a woman of the cloth admitting she is into sharing men ... must be worth a few bob :)

Welcome to the forum Chilli.

Always good to see fresh blood at nottingham too. See you on the tables.

Hi Jammer
Not so fresh blood in Nottingham im afraid, just fresh blood on this site! 

Great Pic by the way!! You look suprising like Kurt Cobain!! 8)

Chili, I am very romantic, so much so that whenever i get dealt any 2 suited hearts, i fall in love with them and cant put them down ;)

Classic!

Ok Kev, I'll step aside, I think you've pulled

Red, it takes a big man to recognise that he is beaten, and for that you have my respect  ;D

He also recognised the lady with the bread knife was Mrs RED

So many women, so little time......

Hello and welcome.

Flirt

I think you could be right robert... he could never get a bluff past Mrs Dog ;)

aye, what avatar better to represent the inner torment, the tortured soul of the poker player grinding his path on the tables, away from real lifes harsh realities?

Oh, and it was either that pic or britney spears in the options.

I used to go out with a girl ,who kept telling me " beauty is only skin deep ".
Thats when I realised she must have been " inside out"
 

I was just warming to Chilli, deciding whether I could beat the Red Dogs & Colchester Kevs off, when I thought about that comment. "Very brave"? Wassatsupposedtomean?

But seriously Chilli - may I call you Marie? - I did tell you what to expect if you made a post! So predictable, these old lechers.

Nice one Julian! - good bit of form returning in time for Barcelona lets hope. - see you sunday.

Chilli - don't let these old fellas put you off posting here - they mean well and they don't get out much  :D - just humour them!

Very true, those "old" ones are harmless really, us young 'uns are OK as well.

Please dont me call me Marie Tikay!  You can call me Maria though  :-*
Only joking about your bravery!  I like yellow hair!

Greg hi!  Seen you in Notts a few times, in fact you were the culprit of the first person to REALLY stare me down!  Got you off the winning hand though!!  :P

And for the rest of you boys i really hope i get to meet you all at some time! Could be an interesting night at the bar! All of you buying of course  x

ahhhh, now i know who you are - Tikay has never been very good with names!
- Hello Maria.

I wasn't staring you down that time, i was flirting  :) :D - no wonder i never have any luck in the night clubs when the girls if they think i am staring them down. -  :D

How about setting up a pic maria to put these letchy fellas out of their misery?

I KNEW it was Maria, but "I Know It" tells me off if I use peeps real names.....

Anyway Chilli, ain't you glad you signed up & posted now? You are nearly as famous as Red-Dog!

'I Know It'  Isnt that Craig?

Doh!

 ??? ??? ???
Hi guys. Only played online tournaments and didn't feel starting a new thread with this question was sensible as I'm guessing it has been asked before... we'll see.

Anyway, does freezeout in real poker tournaments refer to the fact that no rebuys can be bought?

Is nottingham any good? I'm in nottinghamshire so would be the only choise really .. i'm a university student with no car so closest is better.

Any replies would be appreciated.

Yup freezout means no buyins - once you have paid to enter the tournament, you get your starting chips and thats it. Nottingham is a very lively card room with very good turnout and lots of beginners start there. You'll enjoy it a lot.

If you have any probs, ask for Chesney

Cheers Jam N Red, that helped alot..

Does nottingham deffinately do a Freezeout then?

Hi Stoo, welcome fella.

Notts any good? Thats a matter of opinion, but I think so.

You are a Uni Stident? I went down last night, there must hasve been 20 Uni Students there. In fact, in the early stages, I had a "newbie" either side of me, & they thoroughly enjoyed themselves

Later, I befriended two Chinese guys, one's name was Twan, the other Voo. We get chatting, & they sat & sweated me right through the comp. There was anorher chinese guy in the group, & a Chinese young lady, stunningly pretty as it happened. We got chatting during the buffet break, & they were all Students at Notts. Reading, as I recall, Financial Accounting, Financial Services, Business Studies, & Engineering. They were great fun. The Comp restarted, and the 4 of them sat behind me, & we became well pally. Sadly, due to some earlier rowdiness, Gala decided to move the Final to the upstairs room, & the four of them were not allowed to come up & spectate.

So, as they say, "come on down" & have a bit of fun. If I am there, say Hi, I am a youngish looking mid-thirties, usually wearing a black blondepoker shirt.

with that description he'll never spot you, infact he's likely to come over to me.

 :o

He's hoping that if he ignores it, it will go away.  :)

You talking about Chesney?

There's nobody he'd rather be.  :)

remember the good old days when we were picking on red-dog? They were great days eh...

Thank you Tikay. I'm at Uni in Leeds but with it being the summer i'm home.. I will deffinately pop up sometime.

Spread my money around to you guys a bit hehe.

Flirting - hehe!  Like to see you really flirting!  As for a pic on here - no chance.  I would dread to think what ironside would do with it!!!

There has been some doubt cast about your gender chili, not to put to fine a point on it, tikay recons your a bloke

If you are a girlie, tell us which actor you most fancy and why, and your not allowed to say Tom Sellick

Hi Chilli
Thanks for the other half of the sandwich..LOL
Malc-M

Well, maybe not a big one, but you HAVE to add a pic to your profile - just a lickle ickle one.

Go on - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

You would if you loved me.....

Red-Dog - that's an outrageous lie. I was just trying to cool Colchster Kev down, he had the hots.

Kev was born with the hots

hmmmm - favourite actor!!  Ok i cant choose just one so i give you top three in no particular order:

Matt Damon - because he can play hold em (i'm sure he must have carried on playing!) and he is sexy in a non obvious, non greek stalion way.

Johny Depp - if your are female or gay this is an obvious one.  Oh and he never fails to choose off the wall, bizarre subject matter in all the films he has been in and he couldn't give a shit about their success.

Robert De Niro - For every gangster movie he has ever been in (Goodfella's being the best film ever).

I would just like to add in Joe Pesci for comedic value even when serious and for looking like my uncle Louie.  Please dont tell him if anyone knows him.

Malc, glad to feed the starving.

Still no pic boys!!

by the way, Tom Sellick!!! Not a good look!

Bob carolgees?

a ha, the penny drops.

is that Maria, the greek / grantham girl?

If so, I'm the Grantham guy who used to work in the bank. shared a table with you a couple of times.

 :o LOL better x

Not sure Adam, you'll have to shout next time.

but does that sound like the right description of you?

yeah but dont tell anyone else  ;D

 ;) secret's safe

welcome aboard by the way

thanx mate

It will be on a t shirt next week

you know me, for £15 I'll put just about anything on a t-shirt for you.

Ah... I remember the days when I was new Nottingham blood.

Those were the days, when I was a lad.

Can you put
GREEK BIRDS DO IT BETTER

do what?

if you can substantiate it

Oh my gawd. What HAVE I started....Another female troublemaker.......

Uncle Louie looks like Joe Pesci? Never. More like Stephen Fry, I'd say. How many relatives of yours play in Gala Notts? I can think, at a guess, of three.

IT mate IT. you were just remembering being a lad. think harder

I can't think back that far.

Although she never knew me I must confess to having a bit of a crush on Chili pepper in my youth.

god now I'm flirting like the old dudes

Of course i can substantiate it!!!

Trouble maker moi  8)

Let me see, Uncle Kim, Peter, Louie, Dad, Cousin Andy (Kim's son), and i'm trying to get Peter's daughter to come, she's been playing for about a year now, she's pretty good and looks like me!!!

Talking about t-shirts, i starting wearing a t-shirt with 2 hand prints on it and T*tty City on it but it so much attention my dad banned me from wearing it!! I'm serious - i felt 12 again!

x

OMG she blushes  :o

Dad's huh!! - my dad wont let me wear anything scantily at the casino either... and i've got the cutest little pink top ;D

Greek girls ..... bluff better, i think

If I could go back 15 years and do my whole late teens / 20's again but taking my the knowledge/experience/confidence I have now ::) ahh the things I'd do different

If I could go back 30 years and be as daft as a brush again I would

Ok, I know I'm still as daft as a brush

Let me translate for those that are not Notts familiar.....

Uncle Kim - Kim Costa. One of THE nicest guys in poker, a true Gent.

Peter = Pete Costa. Needs no intioduction. Kim is his handsome & charismatic brother....

See, poker skill is in the genes!

Louie - usually just plays the £100-ers. Maniac.

Dad - is that Angelo?

"That" t-shirt. Please, I BEG you, don't wear it to Gala. That would be TOO much......

Yep Angelo is my dad which is pretty cool because most people think i play like him! How wrong they are!!  I wore "that" t-shirt twice and he seriously didnt like it but i think i might wear it one more time for a laugh. I got to the final with it both times!!

Louie a maniac!! Classic!  He plays like that at home as well and wipes the floor with all the cousins. No mercy and no same village with him. 

Junior Wow! I'm gonna get that shirt made.  Greek girls bluff better!  Cheers  :-*

can I take that as an order?

See Adam, I was right to ask what the 'It' meant.  :D

Such a filthy mind.  ;)

Ahh, Angelo is your Dad. I thought he was your Grandad! I had him down for late fifties, & you, what, 20?.......

Yeah please take it as an order boy!! xxxx

And IT is Poker related of course.

Grandad! OOps! I wont tell him.  He's 62 and I will never reveal my age as lady's dont.  Tut Tut

you forget Maria - i have played with you.   :D Your always at-it.

In fact Adam, take this as her order for the T-shirt.  "Greek girls are always At-It"

Agreed Chilli. Let's settle for "about 20".......

ok Chili go to the site and order any shirt you like the look of and instead of the slogan I'll put "GREEK GIRLS BLUFF BETTER" in the comments put the chest size (this secret is also safe with me) would you like lady fit or standard shirt?

oh dear I'm having to reveal inner secret crushes to get shirt sale.  :-[

WHAT!!!!
You see how i edited you there!  Hehehe 
Ok i'll do it

And Junior be careful who you tell that you have "played" with me.  Could be read wrong!!

This thread is not going how i imagined it would go!!!  Not had so much fun on a night in in a long time!! Cheers guys.

Tikay "around 20" is fine. lol

although bare in mind I've admited to a crush that goes back around 15 years. it may well be less than that. possibly only 10

anyone else want flirting with for a shirt?

Reddog, looking for compliments after the lookalike thread
Tikay, I like the shorts
etc

god I feel so shallow

he he.  look forward to the next battle we have - i will practice the stare down!  :D

Would you be able to print Bob Carolgies' face on a shirt and present it to RED-DOG?

I see no reason why not

who's buying

Agreed chilli, you can be "around 20" if I can be early 30's.

Glad you enjoying blonde. I did tell you you would, didn't I...? Stick with tikay, I'll steer you right......

Well, I'm hoping RED-DOG would buy it and wear it at his next comp.

Or is that a little too hopeful...

bloody hell Adam!! You are giving away all my secrets tonight!!
Do you have any V neck t-shirts?  I dont like the ones that go tight to the neck!! They make "things" look even bigger!!   Please no comments about that comment!!  :-\

I will have ' BEWARE OF THE DOG'

 you say all that like it's a bad thing. do yuo want an edge at the table or not?:P

as I'm doing it special I can arrange anything. hope you realise I'll be ordering a single shirt though. thats customer service that.

just tell me what you want in the comments section and if I have any problems I'll mail you.

Reddog, you know where to go

sorry about the market stall this appears to have become

Snoopy could have 'I'M WITH CHESNEY'

before everyone start thowing out design suggestions hold back, comp coming soon

Chili, is there a Natasha in the family?

NO CHANCE!!!

People will think, well... that I'm,  you know... a bit light on my feet.

Adam, no Natasha but how do i pay cos i dont have paypal! How do i do it?

I'll mail you

You could have 'I'M WITH SPIT'.  :) ;) :D ;D

This is amazing. A new geezer joins blonde, he gets three "welcomes", & 7 "views". This thread is already up to 114 replies, & 500 odd views. And counting.

Could it be that Chilli is a, err, umm, female.......?

What is it that Chilli has that makes her so welcome?

Oh, & "what's in a name?". Chili's logic is sound, & simple. She's a devotee of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, arguably the world's best band of their type, (Anthony Keidis is so sexy even I fancy him), along with Aerosmith.

Is that really Tikay speaking.

Anthony Keidis is so sexy!?!?!?

Red Hot Chilli Peppers???

arguably. for me if you're ranking funk rock bands Faith No More top the genre though granted their not VERY similar to Chilis

Who are you and what the hell have you done with tikay?!  ;D

Ipods, blonde hair, caps, modern rock bands, etc.

Tikay's stepped into a time machine recently.

You gotta problem snoopy?

Oh - add The Cure. Robert Smith in a dress. I've always wanted to be that cool. And Eric Clapton in a bggy trousrered white suit. How cool is THAT?

And yes, Faith No More. LOVE the drummer! "Oh I'm Leaving, leaving on Sunday mornnnnnning", does it get better than that?

NURSE!!!!!!

I'm seeing sides to Tikay that I never knew existed.  :D

Another cup of coffeee wasted. Another new keyboard on order.

I love this thread!! What topics havent we covered??

We done poker (a bit), favourite actors, bands, Tom Sellick v's Bob Corolgies (wrong i know), t-shirts, sizes, relatives and many others!

Aahhhhh Long live Anthony Keidis, the god of all gods and i aint religious!

Robert Smith and the Cure, do me a favour.

Faith no more was more about The Real Thing LP than that Easy EP but it was a good cover.

Favourite music thread anybody?

I am john frusciante.



in my head.

i am with Anthony Kiedis ..............in my bed and head.   hehe

Tikay you notice Anthony Kiedis abbreviation.

AK

My destiny is to be with one and have lots of the other!

Hank Williams  'Take back my heart' (I ordered liver)

'How can I miss you when you won't go away'

And that timeless classic ' I've got tears in my ears, from lying on my back, in my bed while I cry over you'

I'm not even sure what that means, and I'm quite scared...  ;)

Chili ... time for a reality check ...

Firstly, you aint gonna get AK.

Secondly, you aint gonna WANT Tikay

Ever thought of trying CK ?

Yours lovingly

Colchester Kev

:)

man, someone pass a bucket.... yeughhh... :P

Jesus you guys crack me up!!  I am getting quite scared myself!  I blame my latest postings on typing solidly for 2 hours and on Tikay for bringing up Anthony!!

Not doing my cool, serious poker player and not girly image any favours!!

Good night all and cheers for a top night staring at a screen!

Chilli, yes, that's the way blonde threads tend to meander, & why we attract a certain type of viewer. Others may mock, but hat's the way blonde is, & always will be. Poker - and stuff - with a smile.

Anthony Kiedis initials, AK? Yup, same as mine. (I'm an Anthony, technically). I'm almost the same age as Anthony too - he was born November 1st, 1962. I have a copy of his book - "Scar Tissue" - excellent stuff, & some really great pics, but I do wish he did not mess about so witrh "substances". Ah, rock groups, gigs, & happy days. It's HORRIBLE being old.

If I'd known you were into rock guitarists I'd DEFINITELY have introduced myself years ago.

Being old is great, when you consider the alternatives!

42 isn't old, Tony.

hehe  we'll all get to your age eventually! And i dont believe you are nearly the same age as AK.

Adam - stop it now  ;D

And very finally - do i hold the record for the most replies in 1 day?

proabably. I wouldn't say u were the shyest newbie we've had.  :D ;)

 ;D

Into rock guitarists? Dunno about that, but when I was young enough not to be mocked when I turned up at a gig, I just loved live bands.

Remember, I lived through the mega-concert/super bowl type gigs age. Fleetwood Mac, something a bit sinister about them. ELO - "Roll over Beethoven" live was always a good ending to any of their sets. Surprisingly, The Faces, backing Rod Stewart, were a pretty cool rock band, with or without Rod, who, by the way, trialled for Brentford. Genesis, excellent, Yes, (but Tales of Topographic Oceans was the end for me), good in their time, Dire Straits - I once went to the same gig of theirs three nights running, they were super cool, eh? Ten CC (oops, that's a bit naff...), Floyd, Rick Wakeman (One time Chairman of Brentford), Meatloaf - WHAT a live performer he was!

Like I say, happy days. Now it's just me and the cats. Sigh.....

Which ties nicely back round to The Cure.  :)

Not you mate, Chili. you know, the crush thing ::)

But for Live Gigs, The Chillis & Aerosmith take a bit of beating with the edge narrowly going to Aerosmith. Tyler is awesome - and have you seen his daughter? How DID he recover from the drug excesses of the late 70's & 80's & come back to rebuld his life? I doubt if there is a more multi-talented rock musician/singer/live act alive. I'd marry him tomorrow.

seen some pretty awesome shows. Iron Maiden at Donnington 1988 (the one where the kids got crushed during the GnR set) Stones at Wembley, the Freddy Mercury Tribute bash was a good un too. Metallica always out on a big show, especially when touring the Load album where they played on a figure of 8 stage with two kits set up and various guitar and vocal points and even faking a lighting engineer on a rope blowing up and crashing to the ground in flames. But the daddy of all live shows has to have been AC/DC a couple of years ago at Milton Keynes. Cannons, giant bells, 30 foot inflatable Rosie. genius.

I'm actually friends with steve tyler's daughter, liv.























again, in my head.

She appeared in a couple of Aerosmith Vids, if I am not mistaken. Was "Crazy" one of them?

I'll tell you what though mate








































There's nobody I'd rather be

'Don't want to miss a thing' - if that's the right name.

With (as Johnny Vaughan once introduced her while sat next to her) Clueless Vegetarian Alicia Silverstone

Was she in 'Pink'?

Best concert I have been to was REM at Milton keynes bowl....blur were support, and brought Phil Daniels out to do Park life. Both bands were fantastic live, and the atmosphere was awesome.

Michael Stipe is a great frontman, very dry humour and a brilliant vocalist.

I also have very fond memories of attending an ELO concert ...full laser show, the works. And my blue vinyl copy of "Mr. Blue sky" is a treasured posession. ( I should add that i was taken to this concert by an older cousin, unlike Tikay i wasnt old enough to drink at the time ;) )

Alicia Silverstone, wow........She was the girl that bungee jumped off the bridge with the bungee rope tried to a navel ring, yes? (In the Aerosmoth video), and she was in Crazy too.

Elo Gigs? Awesome.

I Gotta ticket to the moon,

I'll be going quite soon.

And the tears I cry will fall ilke rain,

On your window pane.

Will someone please get me a pint of what ever he's had

I don't recall seeing her in "Pink". I just shudder at the thought of that rather large lady in her bra & panties, with all the tattoos.

Was that the Vid that Tyler did the closing shot of & burst out laughing just as he ducked out of camera range?

And if you want to talk about lyrics, listen to Puff, the magic dragon, I mean really listen to it, one of the most profound things I've ever heard

Enlighten us then Red. I only remember the first 4 words......

Puff, the magic dragon,
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.
Little Jackie Paper
Loved that rascal Puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax
And other fancy stuff.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.

Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sail.
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail.
Noble kings and princes
Would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags
When Puff roared out his name. Oh!
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.

A dragon lives forever,
But not little girls and boys.
Painted wings and giant rings
Make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened,
Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon,
He ceased his fearless roar.
His head now bent in sorrow,
Green scales fell like rain,
And Puff no longer went to play
Along that cheery lane.
Without his life-long friend,
He could not be brave,
So Puff that mighty dragon
Sadly slipped into his cave.
Puff, the magic dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honah Lee.

It took me ages to realise that the dragon was imaginary, and the little boy just grew up

Ahhh......

I'm filling up  :'(

Me too!

am i naive..I thought this was all about drugs.?

Tuts... that a rare show of emotion and a public display of our softer side, is sent crashing by a lady of the cloth ;)

You, madam, are a cynic and a philistine

Well i have been knwn to be wrong .. not often like ... but i have been playing poker all night ... ;D

ooohhh call me Madam agin...

And a tart

hehe

So lets look at the evidence again... and remember, the clueeeessss are therrrrreee (best Lloyd Grossman accent)

Lips
Facials
Big Bags
Drugs


Hmmmm  that's some profile you are earning good lady  ;D

I give up... off to bed to catch some ugly sleep :-*

Me too, although I dont need it, g night all, dont be late tomorrow

Night Tom. been a good day.The nightmare of last week's "down" is receding fast thanks to you guys.

right that does it first off please dont put me into the same catorgory as kev asn reddog, i am not hard up like them (i am just desperate).

second i will never date s female poker player cause it take the fun out of strip poker if she keeps beating you


third, the best band ever is madness, best concert i have ever been too was rod stewart in aberdeen

Madness only tnird best?

what you talking about grand dad madness are the best band ever

Saw iron maiden a few times in concert awesome truly.
Also metallica supported by anthrax, excellent.
Rod stewart at Villa park (biggest gate they've ever had at that s**thole ;D) supported by Belinda Carlisle ahhhh, i'm sure she was giving me the eye!
Mr blue sky, an absolute classic and of course a long standing blues anthem (BCFC). Actually Jeff Lynne is from where i live (shard end) and a lot of their songs included the word "blue" due to his 'fixation' with the best footie team in the world ::)
The Cure, absolute class along with the Smiths (voted the most influential british band of the last 30 years recently).
I saw madness at finsbury park, they can do no wrong (except maybe cecilia, though for pure comedic genius getting Chris Eubank to introduce it on top of the pops "at numer six is suggs singing cecilia").
Plenty, plenty more -too many to mention.
Ian

The Smiths? Yuk!

Tikay, i dont know many old people who liked the smiths, so dont feel too bad ;)

Morrisey is an absolute 110% genius, his ability to write songs that captured the thoughts and minds of a generation was remarkable..and Jonny Marr (as is acknowledged world wide) is a truly gifted guitarist.

I think the Smiths "Mattered" to 16 to 20 year olds, because the lyrics and tone of the music summed up the way we felt.... I look back with fondness of my days as a penniless student, living in a bedsit, eating instant mash sarnies (dont knock them till you have tried them, they were a delicacy at the end of the month when we were totally skint, and even the sofa had been emptied of furry coins :) ) while listening to the great man in his distinctive, unique way re-assuring us that we could make a difference, but we had to suffer in the process.
 
I still frequently listen to my old Smiths albums, and the new album by Morrisey is simply brilliant. Although the old stuff doesnt have the same meaning any more, it is still thought provoking and remarkably fresh sounding....

Quite simply MORRISEY IS GOD !!

Kev.
I agree, Morrissey + Marr = LEGENDS!

Being not quite old enough to have grown up with the Smiths (being more of an Oasis / Longpigs / Bluetones / Shed 7 man) I quickly realised that i should have been born about 5 years earlier so i could have seen live bands such as the Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, and in deed he Smiths.

Tikay - i think you should take back the yuk comment! - or i'll start exposing you for having Simon and Garfunkel on your Ipod!  ;D

no, I'll second the Yuk. ;)

having grown up a metal head through the mid 80's through to mid 90's I started on Whitesnake, AC/DC and Iron Maiden, working my was up to Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and beyond into some very Angry music. Jeez I was mad at everything. I'm afraid Smiths, Mondays Stone Roses and the rest leaves me colder than a witch's brass tit.

OMG Adam - i used to think you were alright but that list you put forward has to be the worst bunch of so called music i have ever seen! - seriously!

opinions hey, wonderful aren't they?! - the more i think about opinions the more i realise I am right.

move over to the music thread, but as you do so bare in mind that I'm a guitarist and the music you've mentioned doesn't have much a strong lead guoitarist could get excited about.

Sorry Adam i'm with Jumior on this one!!

THE SMITHS  -  The greatest band EVER to come out of England!!  Without revealing too much of my age, i was too young to see the smiths at the time but since my once VERY strict father (how things have changed) wouldn't let me out the house (only to go school) i spent a lot of time in my bedroom dreaming and Morrissey was the man to dream with. 

I think i own everything they ever released and things they didnt!  I was truly obsessed by the lyrical genious and Marr's haunting guitars at times!  Shortly after The Smiths for me came all the Madchester stuff!  I saw the Happy Mondays live with old crooner Donovan supporting, excellent.  My biggest regret was never seeing the Stone Roses live but they will stay in my mind forever.

Shit - i'm ranting, going now.

Nah see, Chili peppers fan I can deal with, even if only for Flea and Chads outrageous abilities but the whole Smiths and Manchester thing, shame. dropped points

Adam's right, you know.

The Smiths? Greatest Band? WORST, by a mile.

who'd have thought. A musical disagreement with me ant Tikay on one side and everyone else on the other




































 :'( I'll get my coat

the fact that there are only 2 on your side says much, the smiths were the definitive band of their era no question

as a metal fan I prefered to shout about my problems rather than whinge about them. different teenagers go about it different ways I suppose

I should have missed out on all this stuff as well but my wonderful sister was just the right age, so as a skinny little 15year old i was watching the roses, simths, mondays and dancing myself stupid at the hacienda and PSV.

Great Great Days.

RADIOHEAD are the greatest band btw.
