how do you feel about "a mix between the stone roses and primal scream with the swagger of oasis" - just something off top of my head

Moyes Enthusiast (LocalGarda), Wednesday, 11 February 2015 19:22 (nine years ago) link

"a mix between Acker Bilk and Lonnie Donegan with the swagger of Tommy Steele"

xelab, Wednesday, 11 February 2015 19:34 (nine years ago) link

tommy steele rocked really hard and he looked awesome so if you are starting one of these bands don't look to him for inspiration. acker bilk on the other hand....

scott seward, Wednesday, 11 February 2015 19:43 (nine years ago) link

Steady there, Acker broke the US in a way Oasis, Blur, Stone Roses etc etc could only dream of.

Get Racoon Tanuki involved with this band ffs

There is a part of me that would love to dress up like a shit failed mod for the hilarity factor. Comb over the bald spot, try not to look like a crimewatch photo-fit and wear a completely ill fitting suit for the first time in my life, viola! instant ace face tragedy! Once an uncle of mine who was a survivor of Artane child abuse travelled to Dublin for a witness court appearance, symbolically dressed up as a catholic priest, with dog collar, robes et al.

He is featured in this Guardian article which doesn't really belong on this thread. I'd guess he was having a laugh but some might say* that he is suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

ah sorry to derail and ask on this light-hearted thread - very interesting article, not really seen anyone try to draw conclusions like that before. my mum is from glin, though i guess your uncle is the man talking about artane.

Moyes Enthusiast (LocalGarda), Friday, 13 February 2015 08:22 (nine years ago) link

Yeah that's him, I shouldn't really be posting it on here but just thought it would add a bit of light to the incident I mentioned upthread.

This is a WYP photo-fit of a guy who stole about six quid in an armed robbery of an independent pet shop in Mirfield.

I used to work in regional news about 7/8 years ago and we did a lot of stories that came via the police, about a bookies being robbed or whatever. It was fairly common for the police press release to just say "the suspect is described as a black male". But if it was a white person they'd be wearing "a distinctive orange sports top" or whatever.

Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Friday, 6 March 2015 14:23 (nine years ago) link

I guess what I'm getting at is, why didn't all those black criminals wear more distinctive clothes?

Junior Dictionary (LocalGarda), Friday, 6 March 2015 14:26 (nine years ago) link

Does the phone number warrant inclusion here?

Mark G, Friday, 6 March 2015 15:06 (nine years ago) link

you could phone them up and ask them i suppose?
