There's almost no money spent on space colonisation. Space travel is in it's infancy at the moment. We are still at the stage of sending probes and manned flights have only managed to get as far as the moon. All these private ventures by billionaires is for their own profit. It's governments that have to pave the way for eventual colonisation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely decline to get into a heated debate, but I think you'll find that's always occurred on this planet. The key word is RAPID. In the past changes took '000s of years not merely decades. I'm not looking to get into a debate. I've attended conferences on how CC will impact on the built environment and the evidence for man-made CC is irrefutable. I'll leave it there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I fail to see why we should bother with space travel when the Yellow Submarine solution is so much more appealing. I also find that my troubles seemed distant yesterday, so agonising over what the descendents of our species might do millions of years from now is probably beyond my remit. I am fairly confident that Beatles recordings will be played for as long as twentieth-century music is being played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Nickleback and Coldplay. Their music must be destroyed for the sake of humanity. You should give Nickelback another chance. According to the NME, they are taking their time working on a new album "because they don't want to make "a shitty record" 🙂 Nickelback reveal that they're working on a new album (nme.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sat and had lunch with them. I can’t remember how or why this happened, but it’s while she was at Edge Hill university. She just randomly came out with this story one night when we were talking about bands we automatically skipped (hers was the Smiths…) she said they were really nice blokes. one of the Rare occasions when you have no response. - just checked this with her now to check it wasn’t a brain fart. ”there was a Canadian guy on our teacher training course called Dave who was a bit older than us, a bit of a loner. We were talking about poetry and I said I’d written some pieces. He said he was going to meet some friends who were over from Canada. So as I wanted breakfast, we drove to Ormskirk and had a full English breakfast with his friends - are there 2 brothers in Nickleback? It was them… we had a full English and spoke about poetry…” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I don’t understand the Nickleback hate, they make a decent noise and can sing in tune. It does seem ‘rock trendy’ to not like them, but they still fill (or at least filled) stadia. Coldplay on the other hand 🤮 😆. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I reckon much of the "hating" Nickleback is really just tongue in cheek, a bit like the Adam Clayton thing. The singer's a funny looking rather ugly bloke too, so it's an easy target to take the p!ss ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't rate Modigliani*, but I understand he's a bit good and others think he's wonderful. I don't mind Nickleback, some of it's fine, some I find a bit trite. For my tastes, I've heard worse, much worse. *Ransom abstract artist chosen for effect, other artists are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 As an experiment, (as I've not consciously listened to a Nickleback track for a very long time) i watched a random one of thei vids on utube.. Feed the Machine it was... Tbh I thought it was quite good for that kind of stuff, in fact the video was very well done, ( indeed, kind of looks like where we're heading right now) but i digress... On that single random taster I'd certainly not slag 'em off as a band, even tho it's not exactly my kind of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always assumed it was an all around bad reaction to the song that takes the pish out of aspiring to be a rock star when they were already rock stars.

Yeah, hate is the wrong word. I don't hate any band. They're just not my cup of (Earl Grey) tea 😉 There are several Canadian rock bands I like much more: Tea Party, Our Lady Peace, I Mother Earth, Matthew Good Band, Moist etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertbass Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 All this talk about Nickelback made think I've never heard them so didn't really know what you were talking about so I watched a few videos on the tube and they're not bad, some good tunes there. I'm going to listen to a few more. As far as listening to the Beatles in 1000 years time, why shouldn't they. A good song is a good song when ever it was written. During my lifetime we've had vinyl, cassettes, CDs and now digital downloads and I'm sure that whatever technology is developed next all the good songs will be available on it. Just think of the profits to be made selling yet more versions of the same songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
