Go Jap, expensive if you need to repair but I've had a Toyota for 7 years now and spent £300 on a new inlet manifold. Thats it though, 120,000 miles, starts every time and I havent even bothered servicing it in 3 years - still going strong. Its the lazy mans choice.........

Agreed, it has lots of catchy tunes and easy to understand lyrics. Bands like Los Campesinos! are doing similar things but just dont get the airplay. Maybe its down to Fearne Cotton and Jo Whiley et al.

I dont really understand why Mumford and Sons had such a massive crowd at Leeds, I know they do easy catchy singalong folk but so do a lot of folk bands that would never get half as many people. Whats it all about? Is it Radio 1's influence?

Skyscanner is usually pretty good although you need to be careful to avoid buying something which has about 4 changes in it!!!

Hoping that Crystal Castles will be as mental as last year and other than that looking forward to Libertines, Cribs, We Are Scientists, Biffy and Delphic. Faustus - could always get a day ticket when you have more cash, they are usually on sale for a while although may go quick with the Libertines playing

Try here : health, sex and relationships, nutrition, weight loss, style and male grooming, :: Mens Health - loads of useful info on nutrition, exercise and weight loss. I'm trying to lose a bit (4 stone) at the moment and learning loads of useful stuff from there - mostly it seems to be about scoffing your face with Chillis.

or Josemi

Hmm - got Boba Fett and Zippy but not Kevin McCloud (but then I dont think anyone does!) 7/10

I have a cousin who every year used to send me the worst presents ever. Particular highlights include a homemade Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shell shaped backpack in lime green and Blind Date the board game. We no longer speak and I no longer get terrible presents so its a win-win.....

Last few I have been to: Wildhearts, Stoke Sugarmill - Good as usual but not the energy they had on stage a few years back when I last saw them. Hadouken, Preston - Fun gig, was a bit full of kids but a good laugh all the same. Cribs, Manchester - Decent but was put off by long queues at the Apollo and an audience ironically full of scenesters. Idlewild, Manchester - still awesome, still different every time, still turned up after a tour bus breakdown! Bloc Party, Leeds - Badly let down by sound issues and kept breaking the set up but good none the less, just maybe not as good as I expected. Passion Pit, Manchester - Surprisingly good actually, really enjoyed the set up to the point that the keyboard player got in a piss when someone threw a drink in his vintage keyboard. Green Day, Manchester - Real let down, they seem to have become some kind of stage act with coreographed guests from the audience on stage. Atmosphere in the crowd was shit too. Biffy Clyro, Manchester - Awesome, everything was good, the set, the crowd even the queue at the bar was bearable!

Christ - I saw her (and her diamonds) at Sounds of the Other City in Salford during May. She looked about 40 and appeared to be dressed in a Nan's Cardigan - not sure what has happened here but I sure do like it!!!!!

How does he clap with his plastic arms moulded into that position?

Naturally the easiest way to solve this would be a goal seek. Although this may not be a function on your excel unless you have the add-in pack installed. Although it still requires some sort of algebraic function. Saying that I am having a stab at 542 being the answer!

One of my mates wanted to go to a party as Stephen Hawking but really stuggled to get a cheap wheelchair from somewhere. He went as the Alan Partridge zombie (with biscuits, shower curtain and tungsten tipped screws) instead. It was a good effort.

I was on Keith and Orvilles Quack Chat show in the 80's going through an assault course competing against another team from our school to win some board games. My team was winning and then the last lad fell flat on his arse and we lost....ended up getting pied in the face by the opposition. I still feel the shame of it!

I was faced with 8 geordie kids trying to sing the arctic monkeys without knowing the words and some cunt with a megaphone asking to see girls boobies all night. How I was glad when the rain came on Saturday night......

ujy ikg,l;. Went for a bit of a face roll there - I must have a relativly small head! Not like I am Beetlejuice or anything

I didnt enjoy them at all at Leeds, it just seems that Turner has believed his own hype a bit, he seems to think he is some kind of godlike genius. KOL and Radiohead were much more worthy headliners, both big bands that have at least a bit of history (although I dont really get the popularity surrounding the KOL at the moment). Besides Crystal Castles and Fight Like Apes were the highlights of Leeds........

Only G-Star:Raw will do for me

Top 3 sounds (because I'm too lazy to look for pictures): Sawing a medium sized tree Dropping a brick into water from a big height Scared large bird flying out of a tree

I used to work with a guy we called Rehab because he was dead thin and had really grey skin. At the same place worked a chubby bloke and his short ginger missus - naturally we called them the Krankeys. I also knew a girl at uni called Anal Becky - after one of our mates took her home after the pub and couldnt be bothered to find the right hole. Went to school with a kid we called Corpse because he had really seriously bad ezcema all over his face and hands - kind of looked like a mummy.

I was at a gig recently, Blur Song2 came on the PA before the main band came on and this one kid says to his mate - "This is Blur, they are really retro". Made me feel like a right old bastard

"Contests of Martin Škrtel" - from now on I am going to refer to all the games he plays in as contests.

Or today presale via their website! Saw them in Manc Academy last year - easily one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

Do it!!! They are ace live, have a good laugh with the crowd too
