Being of a naturally inquisitive disposition I thought, what the hell's that lot? So, following some research on good old YouTube, I can now tell you that we get Thrash Metal from the landscape gardeners next door whenever one of their lawnmowers gets broken and none of them will admit to breaking it, we get Death Metal from our HP compressor when we run it up periodically to keep the condensation from staining the HP valve seats and we can produce Drone Metal on pretty much any of our air tools so, once again, all tastes are catered for.

Oh, and we have Sludge Metal filling the bottom three inches of our paint stripping bath.

Checked out that Steve Vai fella too. Lots of twanging but he takes a good while to get going, I've not heard him sing yet! Mind you, I'm hardly surprised considering the amount of pain he appears to suffer whilst playing. Probably got more on his mind, poor bloke.

Nah - not into all this thrashing, banging and twanging. Try this for something powerful. Two guys, a guitar and half a million transfixed people.

Oh, and during the inevitable Christmas songs, new girl Gillian revealed a hatred of the Spice Girls that immediately got her christened as Scots Spice for life...

How unfortunate to land yourself with a nickname you don't like.

[Renegadenemo]

Just as well I love mine then!

The incomparable, Mickey Bullfrog... now tell everyone how you got yours.

@ Stuart!

Well Checkie rocked up(!) yesterday with his 1001 Now That's What I Call The Greatest Dad Rocks Songs In The World Ever (Volume 7) compilation

Well, I just had to reinforce my reputation. Cool is my middle name, you know

[Renegadenemo]

Simples- I once scoffed a ton of free pizza and burped so much in the back of Bill's car, I made a team mate leap out and throw up when we stopped.

Or, he once scoffed a ton of free pizza then fermented dramatically in the back emitting periodic bubbling rumbles that seemed to last for minutes on end and flooded the whole cabin with moist garlic vapour and airborne sick. It's a wonder we didn't all lose consciousness and crash never mind throw up once we'd stopped!

[rob565uk]

Well I have a strong stomach, but that word picture alone makes me feel queasy

[Piston Broke]

Mind that night Bill was doing eleventy million miles an hour round the twistys between barrow and glenridding and I think when we stopped at Glenridding one occupant was sick and it wasn't me

[Renegadenemo]

Serves you right, the lot of you. You iPodded, Facebollocking, gadget-obsessives. Had you not insisted we followed that dumb sat-nav because it was telling you what to do, and just let me drive the car down roads I knew went to where we were going, you'd not have been hauled up one twisty side of a mountain then down the other!

[Richie]

car sick.... try doing this then...... get the car to drive as fast as you can whilst reading a map with the radio turned up and with a bucket on your head which has a wind up monkey with the clanging symbols inside with you...
