Isn't it strange how alike some brothers can be??
I mean first of all there's Dom and Tony from Hollyoaks, you can tell they are both brothers in real life. The twins that used to be on there don't count, as well, they are identical twins Laughing

...

But one thing that did strike me, is that me and Mrs Jay were watching Waterloo Road one day, and there is a guy on there called Donte, now first thing I said when I saw him was, how much does he look like Jason from Corrie? Bit of research today, and suddenly there it is, Donte = Adam Thomas, Jason = Ryan Thomas (his real life brother), and all of a sudden, I got that warm fuzzy feeling inside that made me jump up and shout...

"Wahoo! I am the god of TV recognition"

Then I thought that I was sad for even looking into the situation, and sharply sat down and continued to watch a film on BBC2....

Did anyone see the Weakest Link on Saturday, Derek Acorah voted for someone who had already gone and totally lost the plot...

Sex BC 2am on C4 looks good Win

just to add to Top Cat above...

Im a Sagiwatsimicallit, my favourite 'C' is the one they draw on Words & Pictures...

I like a teaspoon of Newsquick Strawberry powder in my Tea, with 2 sugars, and Worcestershire Sauce Crisps...
Not to fond of Helicopter Crisps if you get my drift Wink

http://blog.petegraham.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/hollyoaks.jpghttp://blog.petegraham.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/hollyoaks.jp

im spikier now. also used to get told i looked like sean hughes. even had a girl in ireland years ago who was convinced i was him. i prob could have made her dreams come true if it wasnt for the fact she was a porker.

talking of lookie likies, bit more of a soundie likie, theres some bird from the smoking room who sounds exactly like margaret meldrew (annette crosbie) from one foot in the grave. im always getting told off for saying people look like others. was out in guildford tonight and i think i had 3 successful matches.

JC, im a scorpio, my fave sea is vit C, must admit im partial to marmite walkers even tho i havent had them for ages. my gf has a walkers promotion on at her office and the useless walker didnt get me any!

AH is this the thread for adding a few posts to your post count? superb!

blimey, who'd have thought Dammo was such a geek?!

have you got in for the london marathon this year? I applied for general ballot and applied for a charity place as well but didn't get in with either.

are you planning on going to glastonbury this year?

I sent my Mum a load of snow for Christmas last year. I rang her up later to ask if she got my drift.

get in indeed!

on the negative side i've just moved house and i don't have a phone line yet so no internet and to top it off the telly broke on Sunday!

I thought not having sky was bad enough but now i've no channels.

Only benefit is it means i could get round to watching some South parks which i hadn't watched yet and Clerks 2.

waiting on my new flat screen to arrive now!

Does anyone but me on here enjoy the music of Half man half biscuit?

Dammo Qwirky · Stallion Joined: 29 Oct 2004 Posts: 5882

i interviewed them in oxford maybe 8-10 years ago, rodan. they are quite funny to watch. i dug it out for u to read...

Too Many Cookies Spoil The Broth

(Tried it unsuccessfully in t’pub, so went out into the yard for a word in the luxurious tour-bus. Get the irony there.)

QP: Why is your first album, ‘Back In The DHSS’, rated so memorably?
Nigel: I suppose in 1986 everyone needed a fillip musically - it was the post-Smiths era. I was bemused by all the attention the album received, I didn’t have a clue back then. It was the only light-hearted music at the time, which is a lightweight reply, but there you go.

QP: Is it a millstone being lauded as one of the great songwriters?
Nigel: I don’t mind, I love it. I’m not too aware of it as I don’t mix with people from the industry. The harsh truth is that I’ll visit my mum in Rhyl who’ll ask me when I’m going to get a proper job - she doesn’t realise how popular we can be. She’s got more of an idea than others who’ll say “My Uncle Ken’s will let you play at his pub, you’ll get your ale for nothing and he might slip you a tenner”. That keeps my head on the ground.

QP: How have you managed to remain together for so long?
Nigel: Simply because we’ve turned down things we’ve been unable or not wanted to do. People accuse us of not being ambitious, but all I want to do is play and do what we’re doing. I don’t have musical ambitions, which makes me sound negative, but I’m not.

QP: Your music mirrors realism, what normal people are like...
Nigel: I really don’t have anything to say for myself. I just write and someone, somewhere identifies with it. People latch onto us that would never latch onto any other band. Just a title like ‘Monmore, Hare’s Running’ has been seen in bookmakers. If only two people latch onto a phrase, then that’s enough.

QP: Do you write from a Northern stance?
Nigel: I’ve always maintained that if I lived somewhere like St. Austell or Penzance I would have written the same thing.

QP: Surely the gritty realism is Northern?
Nigel: People think we’re pissed off with the way things are, the way the country is or the way the government is. We’re not. Most of it is a cheap play on words, along the lines of ‘Turned Up, Clocked On, Laid Off’ (Turn on, tune in, drop out). The people I hung around with then were lathe-operators and welders, who got laid off. It’s just phrases I hear.

QP: Have you become more bitter as you’ve grown older?
Nigel: I’m dead happy-go-lucky, I don’t feel bitter. I’m still a boring twat on stage. I just stand there playing and I’m like...

QP: ...‘If I knew you were coming I’d’ve slashed my wrists’?
Nigel: I always push lyrics to one side once they’re written. Sometimes I think about ‘This Leaden Pall’ and think “Christ I’m getting a bit involved”. We call that our ‘Unknown Pleasures’ (Joy Division LP) for the nineties. Next thing we’re back to our stupid songs.

QP: There’s so many references in your songs...
Nigel: I’ve got a sponge-like memory for trivial things. It’s not that I celebrate it, I just chuck something in.

QP: ...have you introduced any phrases into the English Language?
Nigel: Maybe. I used “Go home, your mum’s got cake”. I don’t know whether it was national until I’d written it. It was one of the great phrases that existed due to peer pressure in a gang.

QP: Have you ever had a problem wanting to be taken seriously?
Nigel: Yeah, I’m a tragi-comic figure in my own flat. I find that dead funny as well - there’s not even the sad face behind the clown’s mask.

QP: You’re no Tony Hancock?
Nigel: I’m too cynical to slag Hancock off. He was a miserable bastard and shouldn’t have pretended otherwise. I’m just very shallow. People think there must be a really deep side to me, but if you come around to my place, you’ll find me washing dishes.

QP: Are you aware of any Half Man Half Biscuit tribute bands?
Nigel: One of our promoters in Redditch told us that he knew of a tribute band. They’d be ten times better than us. They had a funny name, I think it was something with ‘albatross’ in the title, I haven’t heard them. Nowadays many young people haven’t heard of us at all. We did a gig in Reading the other week and the support just thought we were a wacky bunch of Scousers, they didn’t know who we were.

QP: You have a particular affinity with fanzines? (“I dream of occasional fanzine mentions...” - 4AD3DCD)
Nigel: I’ll read them by the dozen if I’m sent them. I love reading them with a cup of tea and a sandwich. I came here tonight wanting one of those booklets in the foyer, and got a funny look. I’ve got a thirst for knowledge.

QP: What’s going through your head at the moment?
Nigel: Loads. We were going to do an EP, but that constitutes three or four songs, which would have cut down what we could have put on the album. As it is we’ll release ‘Four Lads Who Shook The Wirral’ and see what happens next...

Dammo you should post that up on one of their sites! If you don't I might!

Proper quality. One of my fav bands ever. Seen em 4 or 5 times.

Lyrically and musically fantastic but Blackwells lyrics for 'Monmore hares running' from a punters view is the dogs.

Push that interview up on their sites. sure they'd love to see it!
