  1. i'm 25 but my music taste is alot older. i like rock/folk/blues from 60's/70's. led zeppelin, rolling stones, rory gallagher, jefferson airplane, grateful dead, big brother and the holding company etc etc. i was in morrisons the other week and happened to look at the 'top 40' cd singles. there was only ONE band out of 40 (as in people who write and play all their own songs). the rest was utter shh. manufactured talentless mongs, in it for fame and money.

    New iPad

    i agree it's interface is nice and simple, i do have an iphone 3gs which is ok (i refuse to get a newer model for the sake of a better camera and slightly better screen) i don't have kids though, so until then, i'm out!

    New iPad

    i love gadgets but these have really passed me by. i have a laptop with a bigger screen, faster cpu, keyboard, usb's, flash support, dvd writer, 300gb storage (+500gb attached to usb), cost less (£350 ish?) ....i'll stop but i could carry on. why do people buy them? especially as they hold back the technology so they can rinse all the cash they can out of apple fanboys by updating really minimal things each year.
  23. btw, i watch a couple of lumps float away, seemed like a good job, especially as its only you second crane job.
  24. i will watch it when you turn it 90deg to the right (why didn't you if you edited it?)
