I like how just to the side of the article is a link to another..

I llke the last line.

The more I hear about those two since they resurfaced the more I dislike them. I agree with the firestarter.

Does that say more about them or more about you?

For clarity I'm VERY judgemental myself.

They had a few good tunes back in the day, I've got their greatest hits CD , but that's as far as it goes. To get ripped off for hundreds if not thousands of pounds by a bunch of chancers to go and see them next year, people must be out of their tiny minds.

Would you read a review of your local steakhouse written by a vegan?

You're comparing apples to oranges.

What I meant to with less elegance was that we should try to view things less subjectively...and yes I'm a hypocrite but I'm trying to do better.

I'm quite liberal with me views and found a deep interest in spiritualism a while back, I'm pretty comfortable with the way I look at things.

Not sure I'm really comparing anything, just making an observation.

OK. Thank you, but I must ask why is this guy a vegan in a steakhouse?

Manics were better educated

In all honesty I like some of their stuff, but I couldn't careless whether they get back together, Noel's Flying Birds produce some decent stuff to, but I wouldn't bother trying to get tickets to see either, it'll all be on YouTube at some point at least then I can select what I want to listen to and turn it off and on when I want, probably take weeks for me to watch it all.

The Manics are fine band, a fantastic band in fact. Intellectual, radical, exciting (certainly Richey era) but I can’t be dealing with this kind of sanctimonious, pseudo intellectual guardian nonsense.

Oasis were a great band, they were. Just because they’re popular and they’re not articulate with a lot of derivative material doesn’t make them rubbish. They produced some great material just like the manics.
