Really? I bet T-Keith's heard of him. I bet Jonny's made a video of him, too.

Good call! The Fortunes - You've Got Your Troubles

I'm idly contemplating a move back up to Newcastle as one of many post-summer options, so I've been keeping an eye on house price movements and the like. It does appear that things are starting to slow down a bit, what with the supposed "credit crunch" and all - I've even seen Gosforth and Jesmond properties being slashed in price, although they were probably the most likely to be vastly overinflated in the first place. Sooo... how many of you lot already own? Are you concerned about the future? For those still to buy (and intending to do so) but currently priced out of the kind of places you really want, like me, are you willing to keep renting and waiting to see what happens over the next few years, or do you think it's a hopeless case and things will keep going up, up, up? Do any of you share the view that owning a house is pointless in the first place anyway? (etc. etc.) Sorry for coming over all Glasgow Mag, but I reckon it'd be interesting to get a wide range of views, and not just from those living in the north-east. I realise that house prices are the most dull dinner party conversation topic there is, but hey, I never claimed to be interesting.

I'd always make a case for Free All Angels myself. It's nice when a band unexpectedly discovers the gift of melody.

Although, thinking about it, if it was the same size (and therefore a different weight), it presumably wouldn't have settled into the same orbit around the earth and hence wouldn't be our moon in the first place, so.... aargh. :

My pedant's take on the question would be that it doesn't specify the bit about "the same size and everything", so I'd give them the easy answer. You're probably right though. Which is why I most certainly wouldn't get the gig either.

Which is heavier, a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers?

As if we're that bloody relevant to the wider world. That's part of our problem!

Sounds more like a slightly bizarre pub quiz than a job application.

Don't go out man, we need a full transcript! I could turn on the telly here and do the honours. But I like seeing Fish suffer.

Ditto.

My first thought too. Fucking embarrassing.

MOD ABUSE!!!1!

I'm thinking someone needs to update our birthday thread...

Fake moustaches cost a fortune to hire?! They do if you want them to look as luscious as Jonny's.

Don't make a habit of it though, we might start enjoying it.

It'd save me a fortune in costume hire during Pride season, I'll say that much.

Ah well, at least I'm not your age. And you can grow decent facial hair. That's really not right.

All About Eve - Keepsakes

The lad was born in the 1990s. It's just not right.
