Rooty Hill Holiday Inn Superthread

[Alisaura]

Paul McDermott at the start of GNW was talking about some article that said there are only 700 million Internet addresses left, and then made a remark about how Internet addresses running out is what ACTUALLY killed the dinosaurs.

Oh.

koko black omg MADE OF SUPERFUCKING AWESOME.

need to go there again, except i wouldnt be able to find the place !

Gimme a buzz when you're in town and we can go choc shopping... I know where at least three of them are
And Max Brenner...

Oooh, Red Rocks SBS?

I didn't think there was any other video for SBS than the Red Rocks one? I was surprised to find out it was never a single... well, I think it wasn't. Someone will no doubt prove me wrong, like what happens every time I open my trap and pretend I know something

 

[Axver]

Good god Channel 10 advertises some rubbish.

 

[Alisaura]

teh arse ....


i mean what a fine concert that was.

!!

 

[The Sad Punk]

That Top Gear was fucking brilliant.

Gee, my hair is a little too much on the May side...

There was actually an SBS single!

Can't say I've paid too much attention to U2's music videos for the most part. Would explain why whenever I have caught SBS on TV, though, they've used the Red Rocks version!

There's a copy of this vinyl at a second hand shop here, worth picking up?

I think it's just a sign that if Australia has to fuck up Top Gear by making its own version, it should at least fuck it up by having somebody cool and May-looking like you on the show.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

There wasn't a single for SBS!!!! Maybe in the US, but not here. NYD, Two Hearts, and that was it I'm sure!

Yes, just because anything with Larry looking so fucking miserable can't be bad.

As I just linked, it was a single in Europe and Japan.

 

[Axver]

Holy shit, a guy in Sydney had to have sixteen steel washers removed from his penis?!

The things you learn about on Good News Week!

 

[The Sad Punk]

Yes, just because anything with Larry looking so fucking miserable can't be bad.

I'm not sure if that's the exact record, but it's some single with a few remixes and the cover is from that shoot. They also have TUF single which I might pick up too.

Ta, I knew there wasn't, cos I don't have it.

Eh, I'd rather not have anything to do with that show, ever.

(I hope the comparisons with May end at hairstyles!)

 

[Axver]

Ta, I knew there wasn't, cos I don't have it.

But now you're off to eBay to bid for a copy?

 

[Axver]

I'm not sure if that's the exact record, but it's some single with a few remixes and the cover is from that shoot. They also have TUF single which I might pick up too.

Oooh, I'd love to get my hands on the UF single. I keep meaning to get aorund to getting a copy, but I'm lazy and forgetful and not so motivated with regards to U2 as I used to be.

 

[coolian2]

Gee, my hair is a little too much on the May side...

That confuses any mental image i may have had of you.

All i see is James May.

 

[Axver]

Eh, I'd rather not have anything to do with that show, ever.

(I hope the comparisons with May end at hairstyles!)

I plan to watch the first episode to see just how shit it is, but that's it.

Well, do you drive really slowly?

Actually, the more I watch Top Gear, the more I realise Jeremy Clarkson's personality and my father's are worryingly similar. It's funny when it's on TV, but when you have to put up with it, it's more ... arseholish.

 

[Alisaura]

You know, I was going to put "Axver" in brackets after I wrote "someone" proves me wrong...

And gosh, I guess U2's history of crappy B-side selections on singles goes back further than I thought.

 

[Axver]

From GNW:

"What's the emblem of Adelaide's netball team?" "Tits."

Just made me think of our earlier conversation with Screwtape.

 

[The Sad Punk]

That confuses any mental image i may have had of you.

All i see is James May.

I had described to Ali, Ax and U-Wen that before I had a haircut it was more like Conspiracy of Hope era Bono. Is this making the image any stranger for you.

I find Clarkson to be a bit of a prat anyway.

U2's dodgy b-side selections goes back pretty much to the start of their career!

All I used to see was drunk Bono in a handkerchief.



..... *considers how Jen is likely to interpret that*

On his head!

I like Captain Slow!

Anyway May did a show about real ale, that'll up your alley?

 

[Axver]

Oh GOD.

CHANNEL TEN, STOP FORCING CROSS-PROMOTION ONTO GOOD NEWS WEEK.

ARGH.

THIS IS NAUSEATING.

Actually, I speed a lot - not too far over the limit (I hate speeding, and drink-driving, you know it's a big thing in the city too but coming from the country it killed a lot of people I knew, but anyway) and I also often react to things.

Your dad's like Clarkson? That's like the perfect combination of awesome and pain-in-the-arse.

I had to look that Bono era up.

Now to the best of my knowledge you wear funny black hats.
