Howmanheyman 33240 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 12 hours ago, Dr Gloom said: Title: The Battle for Toontastic Setting: A virtual forum room adorned with Newcastle United memorabilia. The characters are represented by their usernames and avatars on the screen. Characters: Gemmill: A ginger-haired "accountant" from Wideopen, Tyne and Wear. Enthusiastic and prideful, but feeling threatened. Dr Gloom: A London-based e-scooter riding hipster journalist, arrogant and self-assured. Wykiktoon: A dour Yorkshireman, sarcastic with a penchant for dark humor. Christmas Tree (CT): A lovable, slightly eccentric taxi driver from Bolden, known for his culinary quirks. Renton: The forum's resident pessimist, always ready with a grumpy remark. (Scene 1: The Toontastic Forum Room) (The screen lights up, displaying the usernames of the characters. Gemmill types furiously.) Gemmill: (typing) Well, lads, I’ve put together another match-day thread! We’re going to smash those lot from the South! (A notification pings as Dr Gloom enters the chat.) Dr Gloom: (typing) Ah, Gemmill. Nice thread, but let’s face it, my last one was a masterclass. You should bow to the king. (Wykiktoon jumps in with a sarcastic remark.) Wykiktoon: (typing) King of what, exactly? Match-day threads or hipster nonsense? Dr Gloom: (typing) Hipster nonsense is all the rage, Wyk. Can’t help it if you’re stuck in the past. Gemmill: (typing) This isn’t just about threads, Gloom. It’s about respect! The Toontastic family knows I’m the main man here! (A notification from OTF, an Australian poster.) OTF: (typing) Sorry, Gemmill. I’ve got to agree with Dr Gloom. He’s the king of match-day threads now! (Gemmill’s face turns red with frustration.) Gemmill: (typing) Usurper! This is war! (Scene 2: Gemmill’s Dilemma) (Gemmill brings in CT, his culinary confidant.) Gemmill: (typing) CT, you’ve got to help me! Dr Gloom is calling himself the king now. What can I do? (CT responds with enthusiasm.) CT: (typing) Mate, you’ve got to show them who you are! How about I whip up a feast? You can do a thread on my famous duck pizza! Gemmill: (typing) That’s brilliant! But I need something more... impactful. CT: (typing) What about a cycling hobby? Get fit and show those hipsters who’s boss! (Renton chimes in, his tone grumpy.) Renton: (typing) Cycling? Please. Humanity’s future is bleak enough without you peddling around in Lycra. (Gemmill rolls his eyes at Renton’s comment.) Gemmill: (typing) Not helping, Renton! (Scene 3: The Final Showdown) (The chat is buzzing with tension as match day approaches. Gemmill prepares his comeback.) Wykiktoon: (typing) So, what’s the plan, Gemmill? Gemmill: (typing) I’m going to put up the best match-day thread they’ve ever seen. I’ll show Dr Gloom who’s really in charge around here! (A notification from Dr Gloom pops up.) Dr Gloom: (typing) Good luck, Gemmill! Just remember, the king always reigns supreme. Gemmill: (typing) We’ll see about that! (The forum erupts in playful banter, as both sides rally for their heroes. CT decides to lighten the mood.) CT: (typing) How about I bring some of my curry to the next match? Bet you’ll be the king of the BBQ! Wykiktoon: (typing) As long as it’s not another “Bhuna Bonanza,” I’m in. (Renton rolls his eyes.) Renton: (typing) Great. Just what we need. A curry king and a hipster. (Gemmill types furiously, but a grin spreads across his face.) Gemmill: (typing) You know what? This is Toontastic. We’re all kings here! (Scene 4: The Conclusion) (The forum fills with laughter and camaraderie. Gemmill, Dr Gloom, Wykiktoon, CT, and Renton all realize that despite their rivalry, the spirit of Toontastic prevails.) Dr Gloom: (typing) Alright, Gemmill. Let’s see who really reigns supreme this match day! Gemmill: (typing) May the best thread win! (The chat closes with laughter and anticipation as the match approaches, and the camaraderie of Toontastic shines through.) (Lights fade.) End. Sounds like N-O.

sammynb 3356 Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 I know I'm alone, yes Scotty again, on this but fuck The Fall were great. Forget Mark E Smith if you don't like him but the band members he had, the musos that were members of the his band were always amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Bramah who was the original guitarist, Steve Hanley on bass (1979-98), his brother Paul Hanley drums (1980-85), Si Wolstencroft second drummer (1986-97) and guitarist Pete Greenway (2007-2018). It lacks Mark E Smith but is interesting enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The broken doll is absolutely spot on here, for me one of, if not the greatest pop single ever released Back in the 90s we used to go to Love Muscle a gay club at the Fridge in Brixton, and one of the highlights was always Atomic dropping about 3am It was a great night, as long as you stayed downstairs. Upstairs was a real eye-opener 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upstairs was a real eye-opener I like it when somebody says I'm right, it happens so seldom! anyway, the only time I went to the fridge in brixton was to see lab4, probably very late 90s and at an escape from samsara night? for anybody who hasn't had the privilege, lab4, these boys knew how to unleash earbleeding hell, double figure mitzis and the worst comedown, terrible tuesdays you're ever likely to experience in your life! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
