I've had several conversations with enthusiastic Iranians about the Minx. Different from the usual "I used to have one of those" comments.

Yay for that (See grumpy old man thread for my feelings towards estate agents and solicitors. Dream house, Nightmare transaction!)

Finding a good friend is still a good friend even though like a spaz you've not bothered to get in touch for years, and they sort you right out when you need it the most.Cryptic but has put an honest to god smile on my chops. Friends are ace.

This begs the question"What the hell were you looking for to find this!?"

[Mr H Sceptre]

@PillockThe freind stuff sounds cool, kinda know what you mean. i think.But G&T and ska fucking rule.

[Parky]

I like a bit of Ska. Listening to "The Selecter" by The Selecter too feckin loudly in the car reminds me of being 17 again.Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band records, Stan Freberg, and Spike Milligan radio recordings make me smile. Hopelessly old now but actually doing stuff in the 50's and 60's which todays comedians pass of as fresh material. My five year old wandering up to a fat woman and asking her "Why are you so fat, do you eat too much or something?" was a horrifingly embarrassing moment but it makes me smile to think about it now!

[Cavcraft]

I've hammered the 'Best of The Specials' CD, and 'Ghost Town' sounds as hauntingly good now as it did when it was first released.Found a reggae love songs double CD which I'd bought just for one track (Good Thing Going by Sugar Mynott) in the boot of the Merc and I keep finding some really good tracks on it.

[retrogeezer]

There was a great Specials live Cd free with a paper last year, did you get it Billy??And the Sugar Mynott track is good too...

[dollywobbler]

Watching BMWs struggle in a few mm of slush while my £266 Autoshite just calmly drives past. Even when I started chucking it around on the back lanes, it merely understeered a little bit. WIN!

Didn't get the CD mate but recall seeing it. The 'best of' CD is superb.On reggae love songs 'You don't love me (no no no)' and 'Stop that train' are fantastic if that sort of music is your bag.

[Mr H Sceptre]

About £12 gets you any of the numerous Trojan Records 3CD box sets. The 'Ska' one is superb.

 

A personal favourite:

The F**k Fiat thing was a link from b3ta, in their childish names section which also gave us Mr Helmut Knoblich a few pages back.

Yeah, it's cryptic but a friend has just helped me from a very bad place to being able to dance around my living room last night, spilling G&T on the carpet and just generally having a ball.Another friend was supplying the musical suggestions, I was hammering the Specials and the Skalatones, she put me onto Chris Murray Combo and we went to See Spot from there. And some newer stuff like Pama International, The King Blues and I always like to finish up with the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Aha, Parma Internation eh? Fuzz Townsend, who is on the Practical Classics team (top bloke), is the drummer for Parma International (formerly of Pop Will Eat Itself and Bentley Rhythm Ace).The Easy Star Allstars are well worth a listen. Theyve done very high quality versions of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon & The Bealtes' Sgt Pepper. Great live band too.
