Well it does actually say Aged 18 [i]or over[/i]... so there's nothing stopping us going for it, is there..? :P

Being a bit harsh aren't you?

Yes. But remember, this is a forum for bitter and cynical grumpy old men who probably haven't had their meds yet...

Well, why not? Their name was obviously chosen by Vogons. Good luck to them!

They seem pretty proactive in trying to get a band together... just haven't found the right beast yet it would seem.

Ah yes... beast-selection is totally crucial these days.
If I'd selected better beasts years ago, I'd be living in Monaco now instead of Lewisham. :(

I must admit I'm out of touch with the terms people use for describing stuff these days...

I had the following conversation with a drummer the other day who is both younger and much trendier than I am....

Drummer "that bass line is sick"
Me " oh sorry.. I thought it fitted quite well"
Drummer "Naah man it's sick"
Me "Well give it a chance to grow on you, I really think it'll work"
Drummer " naah it's sick as in bad ass..."
Me "bad ass....? So my bassline is like an ass related ailment?"
Drummer "man your out of touch"

I got confused by 'wicked', and that was about a hundred years ago. :mellow:

Young master discreet (11) uses the word 'SPECIAL' to mean the exact opposite.
He also tells me to 'GO HOME' on a regular basis - even when I quite obviously [i]am [/i]home.

I get 'FAIL' quite a lot too, and 'OH DEAR' - not entirely sure what this means - I know it doesn't mean 'oh dear', though.

Probably worth starting a separate thread about kid slang, but I fear exposing myself as an 'OLDMAN'.

Yeah I am just about cool enough to know 'wicked' as an adjective meaning good...
[/quote]

The fact that you and I know this means 'wicked' is [i]well [/i]past its sell-by date and we are not cool at all! :lol: [size=4]And I am assured that being old and incredibly uncool is NOT in any way cool in itself, so there's no getting away from it - we're finished![/size]

Its not true!... I'm sure there must be a vestige of coolness left in me somewhere I just have to try harder.

I'm going out to get my lunch in a minute I'll tell the girl in the cafe her cheese rolls are sick... that'll prove I've still got it.

Excellent! Do me a favour and say 'OH DEAR' to her in a voice heavy with irony - I want to see what reaction you get.
If she doesn't like it, just tell her to GO HOME.
