You will either love it or hate it

that shouldnt be allowed, its like breeding a dog and a cat together, it just shoudnt be allowed........

What does a Tracker bar come under, it has choc chips but it aint no choccy bar ?

Washing up?! No dishwasher, no deal, tempting Rovers outfit or not.

So, choccie bars.

Who does everyone think is/was the best drummer ever?

For me it's John Bonham just edging out Ginger Baker, with an honourable mention to Dave Grohl from modern times.

Anyone who says Phil Collins will receive -10 Internet Points and a Official Order Of The Gormclops certificate.

Probably closer to a cereal bar isn't it?

Got the munchies pmh?

Buddy Rich.

What's the connection between chocci and drummers - but I will reply .......

Bernard Matthews Chicken Drummers - see if this thread can last until Willie lands !!!!!!!!!

In that case thread needs to change "Big willie but not the wonkas Chocolate factory"

What dous this have to do with rugby come on you reds

I'll give you that, marvellous musician (and was also partial to a Fry's Chocolate Creme) but I think that Bonham (who often enjoyed a Trio) took things that step further.



If all you want to do is talk about rugby, (and fair enough if you do) don't click on a link titled "O/T chocolate bars.

Anyway, that's drummers sorted, now then, Ms. pmh is having a night out in Manchesterton this evening. I shall be watching a film, but which should it be?

Here are the choices.

a) Harry Brown, starring Sir Michael Caine. Haven't seen it, it's on Blue Ray so that's a plus.
b) The Big Lebowski, starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman et al. Seen it before but not for a while.
c) North By Northwest, starring Cary Grant. Can't remember if I've seen it but I've been meaning to have a Hitchcock phase and this seems a good place to start.

North by Northwest is good but have you tried 'The man who knew to much' that is another brilliant Hitchcock film.

Haven't got that one, don't think I've ever really watched that much Hitchcock, other then "The Birds" and "PSycho" obviously. Got a box set ages ago, so if I go down that route it's a choice between "North By Northwest" as said, "Strangers On A Train", "Dial M For Murder", "Stage Fright" or "I Confess".

"Rear Window" and "the 39 steps" would be my Hitchcock picks (outside of the Birds and Psycho, obviously)

I have only seen 'Dial M for Murder' and 'North by Northwest' TBH either one is a good film.

Rear Window is a good film as well.

What a cultured bird you are, which is another reason for being your Nemesis. I went to Salts Mill a couple of weeks ago, and I enjoyed Salts Diner, but the rest of it was a complete mystery to me. I kid you not, there was a picture of a cereal box holding hands with a chair and it was about £80. And a book for £20 on how to make felt jewellery. Had a flick through it, strawberry felt earrings, seriously. It was like the emperor's new clothes in there. All pretentious bollox. Some paintings of them, an' all.

I don't mind Hitchcock. North by Northwest is alright. I guess I am to culture what Karl Pilkington is to global travel.

North By Northwest it is!





Salt's Mill is one of my favourite places, (it's not for accountants) of course you won't get art, you're an accountant, for you it has no discernible value, doesn't work on the balance sheet.

As I'm sure you're aware, it was originally run by one of our countries unsung heroes, Jonathan Silver.

Art is not about cost my dear, it's about ideas and worth.

What's Hockney displaying at the moment, are there any of his East Coast works on display?

You must at least have liked the kitchen shop, loads of old Hornsea Pottery stuff on display there.

Judging by the £51million paid today for a bit of 'art' , someone's Accountant must come into it somewhere.


Harry Brown is the one to watch, with some Galaxy Caramel. Sod any washing up. Can recommend the Chicken Caesar Salad at Salt's Mill.

That covers most of the subjects.

There were some big photos of Brid which were quite nice. I like the idea of Salts Mill, I just don't get what a picture of a cereal box holding hands with a chair [umeans[/u. I feel a bit aggrieved that you say I can only appreciate things with a financial value, when I am essentially the most sentimental person imaginable. I've seen Gone with the Wind a million times and always cry at the end of that. I see beauty and value in a whole myriad of things, from the smile of a child to a sublime melody to a great Victoria sponge cake to Tom Briscoe rolling Peter Fox into touch. Don't judge me because I think a painting of a cereal box holding hands with a chair is only marginally more rubbish than a pair of handmade felt earrings in the shape of strawberries.

Apparently the Karl Pilkington thing is emphatically contrived. According to some of his former colleague's from XFM he's an incredibly intelligent man who is acting his polar opposite. I can sort of believe it, too.

Nothing to do with anything, sentimentality is the domain of the foolish.



Did it make you think? That's what (to appeal to how your infantile thought processes run) is essentially what a lot of modern art is about. The photo graphical style was superseded by Manet ffs.



Like your style, I've gone past high brow, I've got a lovely mousakka and there will be no washing up.

Nothing wrong with being sentimental, foolish and self-aware. In fact preferable to disappearing up one's own backside justifying the intrinsic value of pictures of cereal boxes.




Well, I thought it was a bit daft. I did an AO level in lower 6th in The Study of Art from Giotto to the Impressionists. I can appreciate chiarascuro used by Caravaggio or the symbolism of Van Eyck or the mellow beauty of a Claude Lorrain landscape. I'm not a stupid person, I just have an opinion on modern art that differs to yours but am less judgemental. I think modern art is a tad pretentious. I have tried with it, quite a bit. Went to the Tate in Liverpool - photos of meat steaks with lightbulbs on top of them. Emperor's new clothes indeed.
