Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Mar. 31 2009, 11:24 Gee Deb, that's sweet my own thread, but I didn't leave for good. Just "diluting" my time here to focus on my "stuff". Mike Oldfield is a great man, my fav. composer and "artist" of the 20th century(and all time). 21st, well let's just say I wish the 20th had just gone on and on......forever. If I could be stuck inside a temporal nexus that repeats/loops forever it would be 1980. QE2 was new, Incantations was still "fresh". YES had "Drama", AC/DC was rocking the free world with Back in Black, I could go on and on. Y'all be cool.

Bassman Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Feb. 2008 Posted: Mar. 31 2009, 14:27 Jimbo, how about changing it to "tubie"?  Like "trekkie".  I think I recall reading somewhere that "tube" is an old Brit-slang derogatory term. Just wondering. -------------- Turn up the music... Hi as Fi can go. Back to top

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: Mar. 31 2009, 14:42 Alright, from this time forward it will be the formal "Tubularian". No slang, no shortenings.....show some respect for the man.

Dirk Star Group: Members Posts: 1331 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: Mar. 31 2009, 15:56 Yeah "tubes" is sometimes used over here to signify something going awry or "pear shaped" I guess..As in the sentance;.."Britney Spears, her career has gone right down the tubes".Kind of similar to "down the pan" but not quite as derogartry maybe.Either way her career`s kind of "in the toilet" let`s put it that way.No offence to all you Britney fans out there btw.It`s funny though is`nt it how you can be "flushed with success" one minute and "down the tubes" the next?Toilets have got a lot to answer for imo.Apparently it was in fact a toilet that was the initial inspiration for "Oops I Did It Again"..Yeah the less said about that one the better really.In fact I wish I`d never even mentioned it now. There`s actualy a character on a tv show over here who goes by the name of "Tubes".Yeah for those that know of him I`ll say no more..Man that show`s gone right down the pan. Back to top

I do believe "tubes" should be a very positive term in tubular.net, after all, this forum is not a big truck: it's a series of tubes! (yeah, I know, I did that joke way too many times) -------------- Check out http://ferniecanto.com.br for all my music, including my latest albums: Don't Stay in the City, Making Amends and Builders of Worlds.

Scatterplot Group: Members Posts: 1980 Joined: Dec. 2007 Posted: April 06 2009, 00:47 Guinness is OK stuph. I little bitter and low alcohol content, but OK. I've only tried the nitro cans. Now Guinness stout is another story. Better flavor, slightly higher alc. content. -------------- We raise our voices in the night Crying to heaven And will our voices be heard Or will they break Like the wind Back to top

ex member 419 Group: Members Posts: 1177 Joined: April 2008 Posted: April 06 2009, 01:08 thanks for checking in jim, i was wondering if you had come up for air after the move, hope alls eyrie my friend, deb Back to top

The Caveman Group: Members Posts: 2178 Joined: Jan. 2008 Posted: April 06 2009, 08:20 Hey Jim.Good to see you back.Like Deb i am now teetotal but i did love a drop of draught Guiness.As long as it's well kept of course.A favourite of Mike's as well.In fact i did have a very good pint in the Jolly Boatman where Mike,Tom Newman and Simon Heyworth used to drink lots of the stuff while recording TB.Used to be a favourite Sunday afternoon pint of mine but i couldn't go out to get drunk on it.Too filling.For that i used to drink lots of real ale.  I have a friend from Syracuse who has relocated to the UK and is in love with English ale.According to him you can get ale in the USA brewed in Micro-Breweries.Sounds like it must cost a fair bit if it's that specialised. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.
