RE: Car Repair Help

Come on now, Its really not as bad as all that...
Wash and hoover, New pedal rubbers, a new magic tree air freshener and "bobs your uncle"...
But if ya really want rid of it, "Done deal"....
The phone will not stop ringing...If you looking for a 1000, ask for 1200 and prepare to drop...

Good luck, Lard...

RE: True meaning of "Voluptuous"

There is the bigger question of how we see ourselves and weather or not we have the courage to tell it as it is without dressing it up in double talk...

Me, Im Voluptious.....('er, perhaps that should read FAT!)
And heres the kicker, Im OK with others telling me im fat...
Trouble is, were all so caught up in political correctness and terrified of offending other peoples sensibilities that we "tip toe" around issues of size, status and ethnicity like were comitting some great crime against the individual...
We could all do with a tall glass of "cop on" and just call it how it is...Life would be so much easier if we said what we meant...
Or, maybe im just to cool with being myself!...

Anyhows...I didn't call myself Lardzeppelin cos i was waisting away...

Regards...Lard...

RE: Car Repair Help

You will live to regret it, im tellin ya!...

RE: Who is your favorite Dr Who incarnation and why?

...I grew up in the hartnell / pertwee era, remember them both with affection...see no mention of peter cushing from the two DW film spin offs of the 60s...
but on reflection, id say christpher eccleston would be my first choice, much would have to do with russle t davis's terrific script input...
fair to say, the new age DW shows benefit from great story telling and improved budgets and sfx...
good to see a sci fi tradition going from strength to strength...

RE: Who is the best drummer?

...Akira Jimbo...



Just so you can see the potential of drum synthisis...
Ground breaking stuff, and this was a few years ago by now...
What you see here is an exercise in MIDI(musical instrument digital interface)operation...
Drum triggers are placed on the rims of each ot the tom heads, Akira hit each of these triggers to initiate a different sound...
also incorperated is a midi "splash pad" for central system control...
Like the music or not (and i do!), you have to respect the progressive approach to drumming / percussion...

RE: which is more important?

...good poll...

first move...debatable...
intelegence...hard to have a good conversation by yourself...
athletic...As if i could comment!....
wealth...just happy to go dutch, deffo no sponges...
distance...can be a deal breaker, we dont all have the time for travel...
talents...its good that we have things were good at, can be an ice breaker in those quiet moments...
nothing...fair comment, but realisticly, it has to be a mix of things...well, thats my opinion based on a number of meets / dates...

all the best...Lard...

Hi Kitty...

Its complicated, and if i had thought it through a little less crypticly it would have been the potato and booze thread...
But were on target for a potato driven theme...
Like the sound of that sour cream and bacon fella ...

The John Wayne Potato Harrasment Thread...

Hi Sunnydaze...

Long story short...There was a thread this evening from a VERY unhappy "camper", If you missed it, then good for you...(shocking language, and im not kidding)...
But somewhere along the 17th page, the topics turned to John Wayne and Potatos, I know it sounds cracked, but hey, who said life was simple...
Anyway, the site marshalls closed down the thread just as it was getting interesting...
What could i do?...I needed the answers to vital potato questions and broke a vow of silence to create something sweet and innocent....
And so, welcome to the JWPH thread...
All potato stories will be treated with respect and confidance for the potatos involved...

All the best...Lard...

The John Wayne Potato Harrasment Thread...

Oh, please...Me and Rum have had an uneasy relationship...
The idea of rum with the potency of jet fuel scares the hell out of me!...Did they run there cars on it?....
And where the hell is John Wayne while all this is going on?....
Its the JWPH thread...

Might have called it the booze and chips sketch...
